| Title of Test | Characterisation of indirect method |
| Test Rationale | The goal of this Test is to evaluate the performance of the indirect method considering the impact of the communication latency and packet losses on a LV grid congestion management. |
| Specific Test System (graphical) | The Test System includes a LV (0.4 kV) network with realistic data provided by a local utility company. This network consists of three feeders with various loads and PV systems connected along the feeders.
In addition to the above network, a market model is also developed.
|
| Target measures | Voltages, currents of all grid components and grid services cost. |
| Input and output parameters | Weather condition (hence DER production), grid topology, household load profiles, controllable generation production |
| Test Design | Initialize the simulation; achieve a steady state condition; trigger a congestion condition (peak of load or peak of generation); evaluate the response of the DMS controller; reinitialize the simulation and repeat the test with different congestion condition and the baseline. |
| Initial system state | Transformer and feeders loading in permissible ranges. |
| Evolution of system state and test signals | The evolution of the congestion at the MV/LV transformer is illustrated in the figure below:
The evolution of the system state is shown in the figures below: Solar profile:

| Other parameters | n/a. |
| Temporal resolution | 15 minutes |
| Source of uncertainty | Measurement uncertainty |
| Suspension criteria / Stopping criteria | Not converging of the optimization method. |
