Distributive companies will represent an important role in development of the distributive network, because reliability and quality of electric energy will represent an important role in achieving European as well as Slovenian goals regarding a climate-neutral society. Such rapid development of technologies and consequently increasing demand for electric energy will require a relatively quick adaptation of development, as well as expansion and upgrading of the already existing medium and low voltage network, where mass transport electrification and heating will manifest.
This diploma consists of two parts. The first part is about future national plans, which are in conformity with European energetic and climate policy, dealing with decarbonization of society and achieving climate - neutral society. The national energy climate plan is presented through five dimensions of energy union. The first part also deals with SIST EN 50160 national standard presentation, which gives the values of voltage parameters at the place of consumption.
The middle part deals with composition of distributive plan and more detailed overview of the low voltage network. In addition, it includes the process of achieving peak powers of household consumers in the area of Trbovlje distribution unit, which we used for the purpose of the diploma thesis. It gives an overview of the low voltage network state, with future directions.
The second part, analytical part of my diploma, introduces issues of voltage drops in the network, as well as the way and the purpose of calculating voltage declines which results reflect in the state/condition in low voltage network of DE Trbovlje. Besides the actual state, the projected state of low voltage network, regarding mass traffic electrification and heating is presented. Calculations of what network condition will be by 2030 are made. By the time, it will be necessary to install new heat pumps into households and introduce electric vehicles in order to achieve the already set national goals. Possible solutions, used by distributive companies, to deal with problems of voltage declines, due to the rapid transition to a climate – neutral society, are also presented.
The last part presents an overview of the state and estimates financial costs, which could threaten distributive companies (we are mainly dealing with the costs of the Trbovlje distribution unit), due to national plans, which both, distributive companies and customers would quickly need to adapt.
