Van Wijk, O. (author)The production of solar power is one of the solutions to limit the emission of polluting gases. One of the characteristics of solar power is the discontinuous character of its activity. This can cause a heavy load on the energy grid, especially because most solar power is being produced when energy consumption of households is low. This can...master thesis 2013

Okeke, I.O. (author)The present Low Voltage (LV) grid, which until recently was mainly composed of passive electrical components (consumers), is being gradually overrun by active electrical components (prosumers), who not only consume but also generate and share power locally. This development is introducing changes in the operational dynamics of the LV grid that...master thesis 2012

Ran, B.G. (author)The electricity power system is shifting from a high reliance on centralized large power plants towards a system in which distributed generation units, like solar panels, are penetrating into the lower parts of the power grid. As a result, the consumers are becoming active prosumers who in addition to consuming can also autonomously generate,...master thesis 2012
