| Abstract: | While renewable energy is beneficial for the environment, it also brings new challenges to properly control the energy flow in modern electrical power networks. In the past, consumers normally experienced low voltages in their homes, while nowadays, consumers might also experience over-voltages during certain times of the day! Electrical power networks, including the Maltese network, were designed for a single centralised source of energy (the power station). Power is expected to flow from the main energy source toward consumers, with voltage drops being experienced along the way. [excerpt] |
