Abstract

Amid growing concerns over carbon emissions, environmentally friendly resources have gained widespread recognition. Various sustainable energy technologies, such as rooftop photovoltaics (PVs), are being integrated into power grids in a decentralized manner. At the same time, electric vehicles (EVs) have been trending in the sustainable transportation sector. Correspondingly, effective management of these resources is essential to maximize their benefits. However, the absence of an advanced communication infrastructure in many existing distribution networks has promoted local measurement-based controllers. Among the local parameters used to enhance control strategies, voltage-to-load sensitivity is a particularly valuable parameter. This study investigates the influence of network parameters and operating conditions on voltage-to-load sensitivity. Simulation results indicate that system configuration and line impedance are the primary factors affecting voltage-to-load sensitivity.
