Comparative study of optimal controller placement considering uncertainty in PV growth and distribution grid expansion

Therefore, following this situation, in this paper we propose an optimal way to deploy and to operate utility's controllable resources at the distribution grid and additionally we consider the uncertainties related to PV growth and distribution grid expansion. Thus, we include the non-deterministic multistage perspective to the controller placement problem. Furthermore, we perform a techno-economic analysis of the results and we show that an optimal controller placement allows removing the overvoltage problems arising in the LV grid in a more cost-effective way compared to a typical traditional grid reinforcement approach.
