MSc MADE Thesis AMS Institute - Mitigating high PV penetration-induced low-voltage grid overvoltage while stimulating the energy transition through a generalised approach

MADE Student Project

This research describes a generic step-by-step approach that can be used to depict energy transition enhancing overvoltage prevention strategies that fit the local context of a neighbourhood. Although high PV induced low-voltage grid overvoltage mitigation has been studied extensively, this research adds onto existing literature in three ways. It is the first generic approach to develop neighbourhood overvoltage prevention strategies. Moreover, it considers spatial and socio-economic aspects. Lastly, it regards system integration and wider energy transition ambitions. The 6 steps of the transition-enhancing overvoltage mitigation framework (TENOMF) are described. Subsequently, the TENOMF is demonstrated on a case study in the Diamantbuurt in Amsterdam. The results of the case study show that conventional mitigation strategies are very effective in overvoltage mitigation, however, they lack in wider energy transition ambitions.
