Abstract

This study proposes and demonstrates a probabilistic approach to simulating low-voltage (LV) networks, which can incorporate flexibility in (future) household load. This method provides insight in probabilities of power flows and voltage magnitudes occurring, and can therefore predict chances of overloading cables and violating voltage limits. Compared with the current planning method (worst case approach) for LV networks, this allows for a more accurate estimation of risk levels when designing the network. Incorporation of user activated flexibility can influence the probability of power flows or voltage magnitudes occurring, but cannot reliably prevent violating limits altogether.
