Dynamic network prices for hosting capacity management
- Increasing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) brings challenges to LV distribution networks. How to effectively manage hosting capacity becomes a concern.
- Existing solutions being explored rely on assumed prosumer behavioural patterns, overlook their desire to retain control over their devices. Current fixed/tou tariffs are based on spatial and temporal averages, having limited impact on network conditions.
- Can we leverage network price signals to manage network hosting capacity? Can we take into account prosumers’ prerogative in the design of dynamic tariffs that also considers network constraints?
