Distributed Energy Resources’ Characteristics and its Integration Modes of Active Distribution Network

Specifying technical features of all kinds of distributed energy resources in operation control is the foundation of deploying active distribution network. This paper analyzes the technical characteristics of various distributed energy resources (DER) including micro-turbines, wind turbines, photovoltaic generations, distributed energy storage devices and flexible loads (FL), and discusses the demand response (DR) mechanisms and controllability of FL profoundly. Furthermore, on the basis of the economy and the reliability of the overall system, the in-depth study of active distribution network (ADN) typical integration modes which adapt to a low-carbon environment are carried out.
