Abstract

Models of the operational energy system analysis map partial aspects of the energy system in high temporal and spatial resolution. In this contribution different power grid focused scenarios are considered and results from four different models are compared for an exemplary, rural low voltage grid. These scenarios include the expansion of photovoltaic (PV) power generation and measures to address resulting grid limit violations with conventional grid expansion and the installation of a voltage regulating distribution transformer (VRDT). The model comparison should provide the optimization potentials and recommendations for the use of the models. The models ZuBer (University of Wuppertal), Pandapower Pro (University of Kassel), Energy Agents (University of Duisburg-Essen), and GridSim (FfE) are represented in these scenarios. After description of the scenario definition, data basis and the individual methodological approaches of the models, the results of the power flow calculation and further calculation results are compared. Finally, the optimization potential for the individual models is derived and a recommendation is made for each model as to which scenario it is particularly suitable for.
