An auto tuning substation peak shaving controller for congestion management using flexible demand

A closed loop substation peak shaving/congestion management controller for radial distribution networks is presented. The controller it uses an individual control signal in order to shift the consumption of a population of demand side resources, DSRs. The controller auto tunes its parameters on-line using time series of the aggregate power consumption. No communication with the single DSRs is required. Simulations for validating the proposed control strategy using the MV CIGRE´ reference network are presented.
