Impact of optimised distributed energy resources on local grid constraints

In this paper, the impact of optimised Distributed Energy Resources (DER) on a modelled microgrid was evaluated with an AC time series power flow using a soft-linking method. The soft-linking method avoids the computationally complex nature of joint optimisation methods. Different scenarios of the optimised DER were simulated and evaluated based on voltage excursions and energy losses. The results provide insights into the impact of local grid constraints on the adoption of different scenarios of optimised DER.
