Description
Summary:Abstract The economy of distribution networks largely depends on the utilization rate of distribution network equipment. Most of the emerging intelligent power consumption technologies have a positive effect on equipment utilization and their use can save investment of distribution networks. In this paper, the influence of intelligent power consumption technologies on the utilization rate of distribution network equipment is reviewed. The evaluation methods and indexes are assessed first and then intelligent power consumption equipment with energy storage function, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and time-of-use (TOU) tariff are reviewed respectively. It is concluded that these intelligent power consumption technologies and measures have great potential to improve utilization rate of distribution network equipment because of their effective improvement to power load. Meanwhile, recommendations on how to utilize these intelligent power consumption technologies to improve utilization rate of distribution network equipment are proposed.
