Abstract

In this paper a methodology is presented that can be used to assess the cost related to congestion in distribution grids, based on the impact on the loss of life of network components. The methodology is demonstrated on an exemplary network during an overloading event in daily operation. The results show the development of the overloading costs that can be monitored during such events to assist in taking operational decisions for congestion management, such as utilizing flexibility. Moreover, the effect that small changes in the loading can have on the corresponding cost is highlighted, which addresses the need for more comprehensive analysis tools to support decision-making processes.
