Increasing penetration of electric vehicles creates new challenges for distribution system operators. The power to charge the batteries should be delivered without violating any technical limits:
- Charging power should be delivered in normal operation case and in extreme cases
- Do electric vehicles cause regional bottlenecks?
- Is grid reliability changing because of the new load situation?
- e-Mobility penetration limit where problems start arising
- How to avoid peak loads
NEPLAN helps distribution system operators, network planning and strategic network development service providers and universities answer these questions with its powerful calculation modules.
Why NEPLAN?
NEPLAN offers a solution to distribution system operators, network planning and strategic network development service providers and universities with the modules
- Load Flow Calculation
- Load Flow Time Simulation (time series) and
- Hosting Capacity.
It provides a user-friendly platform to control the reactive power and loading times, use of decentralized energy storage and test network expansion scenarios.
