| Abstract: | The voltage rise effect in lightly loaded low voltage microgrids with local photovoltaic (PV) generation is a renowned phenomenon. In this paper, the authors propose an electric spring-based smart water heater to avoid voltage rise on the network by storing excess PV generation as thermal energy. Simulations based on real PV and load consumption data were used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution. |
