Self-Regulation of Dispatchable Loads: Stabilizing Interconnected Networks with Resilient Microgrid Technology

Inhalt:
In this paper, the methodology of “self-regulation of dispatchable loads” is presented as a "keep it simple and stupid" (KISS) implementation for the grid integration of dispersed flexibility options in low-voltage networks. The corresponding technical specification IEC TS 62898-3-3 is explained in detail as well as the related economic assessment. In the light of the speed of expected deployments of electric vehicles and heat pumps, the authors advocate a quickly scalable approach that has already been used in the past with distributed generators: a type test as conformity assessment of standardised requirements.
