Innovations and optimal operational management in distribution networks

The optimal and secure operation of distribution electric grids in the presence of emerging technologies and trends such as integration of distributed energy resources, sector coupling and digitalization requires the closer investigation at available operational strategies and eventually development of innovative solutions.

Following this vision, ieet focuses on the succeeding key topics:

  • Benefit-based optimal deployment of renewable energy in LV grids
  • Application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the operational management of distribution networks
  • Adaptive and distributed grid protection systems
  • Integration of electric vehicles in distribution grids
