This study presents the functional model that provides net-load forecasts for each low-voltage (LV) node (including PV generation and self-consumption), developed for the UPGRID (real proven solutions to enable active demand and distributed generation flexible integration, through a fully controllable low-voltage and medium-voltage distribution grid) framework project. Several tests scenarios were simulated and the results regarding forecast accuracy and computational performance are given.

... lts demonstrate the applicability of the distribution in memory solution in a practical operational scenario, offering a highly scalable forecasting system for LV networks. Based on forecasts and available real-time information, an architecture for preventive control of LV grids is built upon chronological analysis capabilities of DPlan. An illustration on how such capabilities are used in the context of the foreseen UPGRID preventive control framework is provided.
