Performing power system studies (load flow, short circuit analysis, dynamic stability simulations) in DIgSILENT PowerFactory.

Techno-economic studies to optimize the penetration levels of renewable energy sources (RES) using ANTARES: o Least-cost generation expansion planning o RES energy production and curtailment assessment o Battery storage sizing for isolated areas Power system studies and their automation in PSS/E: o Transient stability studies (voltage, angular, frequency) o Steady-state analysis (load flow, short-circuit calculations) o RES interconnections grid code compliance

Title: Operation Strategies of Power Distribution Grids with High PV Penetration Tasks: - Development of control strategies (using optimal power flow) for voltage regulation and reactive power balance in distribution networks embedded with photovoltaic and energy storage systems. - Implementation of Optimal Power Flow (OPF) algorithm in Matlab. - Verification of strategies on DIgSILENT PowerFactory using DSL Modeling.

Tasks: - Evaluation of the Autarky potential for Photovoltaic, Battery and CHP (Combined Heat & Power) in combination, for two houses interconnected (in MATLAB). - Conception of an algorithm for load management of an Hybrid system consisting of Photovoltaic, Battery and CHP Plant using Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP). - Analysis of energy tariffs such as electricity prices, billing models, feed-in tariffs for Photovoltaic and Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Plants.
