Abstract

Until now, electricity users are being connected to the LV networks by a physical electricity consumption point. In this point an electricity meter is assigned to each and every one user. A given user may use the flowing electricity only by the meter assigned to him at the consumer-specific point. This is a significant limitation in the non- restricted access to the power network. The Authors come with an idea to eliminate this restriction. The paper presents the concept of virtualization of a physical point of electric power consumption in a LV network. The proposed novel idea of using the power network will ensure the expected non-restricted access to any point of the power network for users. This seems particularly important nowadays and is dictated by the growing expectations of users’ mobility. The presented concept is dedicated especially to networks in the form of clusters (cooperatives) or energy clouds. Its application in LV networks will significantly simplify the users’ use of the power infrastructure, also in the aspect of financial settlements. This should also contribute to the rapid significant development of electro- mobility.

Highlights

  • Background issuesA power system (PS) is a platform for electricity exchange among its users

  • One of the users is the electricity final user/consumer (FC). It is a Producer of electricity or an Electricity Consumer connected to a Low Voltage (LV) network in PS

  • In the LV network the FCs are connected to the PS via the individual Point of Physical Collection (PPC)

Summary

Background issues

A power system (PS) is a platform for electricity exchange among its users. One of the users is the electricity final user/consumer (FC). That is why many FCs treat PS as a virtual electricity (power) storage. Many FCs want to have the freedom of time and location to dispose of electricity within this power storage. A FC can only consume electricity from its own PPC without any problems This is a significant limitation in access to the PS, in particular in view of the growing expectations towards a FC mobility. The authors' idea will undoubtedly facilitate the use of FC with PS This will create conditions for the rapid development of electromobility. It will allow further dissemination of prosumer micro-installations
