CENTRA-ACESOL Chair: tools to integrate distributed energy resources

The chair that gave rise to VisiónDERRED: a diagnosis of distributed generation in Chile and the first tools to measure how much the grids can host.

Objective

Purpose

To develop a computational platform with modelling, analysis and visualisation tools for distribution grids with photovoltaic generation (Net Billing), including nationwide hosting capacity studies. A second stage, the Chair Bridge, built an off-line prototype of the web platform and assessed the impact of specific projects on the grids.
