Description
Summary:This paper presents the latest results of several research activities in the field of low voltage network optimization in regard to unsymmetrical power infeed from distributed generators. A method for balancing networks with a high number of single-phase generators is proposed. By applying the method, the voltage unbalance can be reduced, the available voltage band can be better utilized and the hosting capacity for distributed energy resources extended.
