[font size=5]Chinese power: Challenges and R&D opportunities of smart distribution grids[/font]
[font size=3]After conducting an investigation about the current state of the operation of medium voltage distribution grids and the integration of distributed generation (DG) of renewable resources across China, scientists at the Key Laboratory of Smart Grid, under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, at Tianjin University in the east coast city of Tianjin, set out an array of R&D opportunities to modernize these grids.
Researchers Yu Yixin, Zeng Yuan, Liu Hong and Sun Bing state in a recent paper published on the Beijing-based journal SCIENCE CHINA Technological Sciences that it is urgent to modernize China's distribution grids, and that R&D opportunities aimed at reaching that goal should be mapped out and seized.
In their study, "Challenges and R&D opportunities of smart distribution grids in China", these researchers outline the contours of power distribution grids in terms of the practical distribution asset utilization, the simultaneity factor of feeder loading, load compositions and characteristics, along with urban reliability and the integration of distributed generations of renewable resources.
These scientists write in the new study that "the challenges to modernize the distribution grids in China are to improve the asset utilization rates, the electricity efficiencies and the reliability of distribution systems, as well as to integrate increasing amount of variable distributed renewable resources".
