Item Adopting smart meter events as key data for low-voltage network operation(2017-10-01) García Prado, Jesús; González, Ana; Riaño, Sandra; SISTEMAS FOTOVOLTAICOSA pioneering analysis of smart meter events aimed to enhance low-voltage (LV) network operation by the detection of voltage deviations, repetitive incidents or even outage prevention is presented. The main challenge of using smart meters events is the vast amount of data collected: the average of events gathered in an area per day is around 40% higher than the number of smart meters installed. To transform this huge quantity of information in network improvements, a set of strategies have been undertaken. The core purpose of this analysis is to establish a more rational and automated processing of smart meter events, aimed to embrace them as key information for network operation.Item Analysis of the connection of a microturbine to a low voltage grid(IEEE Computer Society, 2005) Amorim, A.; Cardoso, A. L.; Oyarzabal, J.; Melo, N.; POWER SYSTEMSExpected advantages to Customers, to utilities and to environment, from the connection of a microturbine to a low voltage grid, are presented. The main components and loads of the designed microgrid are characterised, and some performance results that shall be achieved on the system are presented. Furthermore, some technical challenges are focused to emphasise the microgrid implementation barriers in the Portuguese study case.
