Linear situated⇒ Energy excesses and shortages⇒ Grid capacity issues

⇒ storage⇒ “consumption follows production” (i.e., demand response)

Classical control paradigm“production follows consumption”

no longer holds

Linear focuses onResidential Demand Response

Conclusions

• A realistic simulation environment was created to test the potential of different smart grid solutions

• Transformer ageing can only be improved by demand response if the peak load is sufficiently high compared to the rated load

• Improvement in the line voltage is possible with demand response and batterystorage

• Results are highly feeder-dependent

• Significant benefits can be achieved for consumers who can shift their consumptionin time, mainly for the large consumers such as EV and DHW

• Combination of portfolio management and voltage control does not significantlyimpact the business case

• Significant benefits can be achieved for the BRP when using demand response forbalancing its portfolio

Scalability• Need for different servers 

increases probability of incidents• Basic MySQL technology for 

backend DBs near its limits• Retrieval of data in real‐time 

required some adaptations at the energy service provider level

More scalables solutions neededfor full scale roll‐out: cloud & big data services, and efficientcommunication platforms

Interoperability• Interfaces and device abstraction• Well handled in Linear
