Abstract

Smart grid technologies are prevalent, especially in systems that look almost the same today as they did decades ago (i.e., power systems). Planning a transformation requires a comprehensive understanding of future challenges. Although planning techniques are gaining enhancements with regard to optimality and accuracy, many challenges are yet to be discovered and analyzed. In this work, potential conflicting goals in the smart grid are identified, and their impact on the planning process is analyzed. Two types of conflicts can arise with conventional planning techniques. The first involves potential conflicts between distribution system operators (DSO) or the virtual power plant (TVPP) prosumers, and the second involves potential conflicts among prosumers in the operation of smart distribution systems. The research paths required to overcome these conflicts are described in this paper.
