Novel Load Distribution Method for Automated Strategic Low-Voltage Network Planning

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel method for the integration of a load distribution into an automated network planning. For an automated load distribution, distribution functions are derived that indicate a percentage of the number of private charging points and electrical heat pumps in a low-voltage network per building type in dependency of countrywide scenarios for electric vehicles and electrical heat pumps. Furthermore, the influences on the distribution functions of different building type structures and a prioritisation of certain building types are analysed. Moreover, two methods for the implementation of distribution functions in an automated network planning are examined and applied to an exemplary low-voltage network.
