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

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
