An Optimized Control Strategy for Residential DERs to Enhance Grid Resilience and Provide Ancillary Services in Low-Voltage Distribution Networks

The growing deployment of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), including rooftop photovoltaics (PV), small wind turbines, and electric vehicles (EV), at the household scale creates two major problems for Distribution System Operators (DSOs), such as voltage limit violations, peak demand surges, and increased vulnerability during grid outages. This study proposes an advanced multi-objective Home Energy Management System (HEMS) that transforms uncertain residential prosumers into dispatchable, grid-supporting assets.
