Abstract: The energy transition is in full development with an ever-growing omnipresence of low voltage grid-connected distributed energy resources which cause congestion in the low voltage (LV) distribution grid. Two plausible solutions to network congestion issues are increased grid control (flexibility) or capacity power reinforcements. Electricity distribution tariffs are a promising intersection of these solutions as pricing structures that match consumer patterns can influence demand and grid investments can be recovered by cost-causal pricing.
