  • More about Distribution grids of the future: Planning for flexibility to operate under growing uncertainty

Electricity grids are facing significant challenges with new energy sources, distributed generation, changes in load use, and smart grid operation. This monograph revisits optimal grid design problems in view of these transformations and highlights the trends in grid design to deal effectively with future problems of security of supply. It provides formulations of key optimization problems and a stochastic framework for chronological simulation, and concludes with a discussion on decision support tools for planning the distribution grid of the future.

Electricity grids are currently facing significant challenges as new energy sources are being integrated into them on a large scale. This has led to transformations in grid design, including distributed generation, changes in load use, and the operation of smart grids. In response to these ongoing transformations, this monograph revisits optimal grid design problems to ensure that they can effectively cope with the future challenges posed by distribution systems.

The monograph begins by discussing how optimization techniques can be used to plan for a flexible electricity grid that can operate under growing uncertainty. It highlights the trends in grid design that are being adopted to address future problems related to the security of supply. Formulations of key optimization problems in grid design are provided, along with the necessary modeling of load behavior.

The book then identifies the challenges associated with solving these optimization problems and advances a stochastic framework for chronological simulation. This framework allows for the simulation of the evolution of the grid over time, taking into account the uncertainty and variability of energy sources and loads.

Finally, the book concludes with a discussion on the developments in decision support tools for planning the distribution grid of the future. It provides a succinct overview of the techniques and challenges facing the future of electricity distribution grids, and is intended to serve as an incisive overview for students, researchers, and practitioners working on all aspects of electric energy systems.

In conclusion, Electricity Grids: Facing the Challenges of the Future provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the techniques and challenges facing the future of electricity distribution grids. It is an essential resource for anyone working in the field of electric energy systems, and will help to inform the development of strategies and solutions to ensure the secure and reliable operation of our energy infrastructure.
