Abstract

Traditionally, generation was mainly produced on large generation plants, and the main driver for investments in transmission and distribution networks was demand growth in the form of new consumers being connected to the networks, or existing consumers increasing their demand. This scenario is subject to a paradigm shift nowadays, where new distributed energy resources (DER) are appearing, such as distributed generation, electric vehicles, demand response, and storage. On one hand, distributed generation and electric vehicles bring new opportunities, to comply with environmental targets and reduce carbon emissions. However, they also pose new challenges in terms of the operation and planning of the networks. On the other hand, demand response and storage can help to increase the flexibility of the power system. The impact of DER on the operation and planning of the networks, as well as in crosscutting topics like resiliency and cybersecurity are analyzed in this chapter. Finally a case study is used to compare the traditional scenario driven mainly by demand growth, versus scenarios with distributed generation and electric vehicles. The results show the different tendency of energy losses in the presence of distributed generation and the importance of avoiding peak charging in electric vehicles.
