Abstract

The main goal of restructuring power distribution networks into a smart grid architecture is to integrate distributed energy resources (DERs) efficiently. While this transformation offers several operational and environmental benefits to the system, significant challenges must be studied. On the one hand, DERs are associated with a range of uncertain parameters, complicating their planning and integration into the power system. Moreover, their installation may attract new players to the energy market with economic goals different from those of utilities, further complicating distribution system planning. As a result, utilities need to develop specialized tools for planning decisions. This research project aims to apply game theory to the integrated planning of power distribution systems and non-utility-owned DER. Game theory provides an analytical framework for understanding the strategic interactions among multiple players in competitive energy markets. This approach optimizes the integration and operation of assets while balancing the stakeholders' interests. The study seeks to identify and analyze the best ways to optimize distribution system profitability and efficiency while considering the limits and incentives of various stakeholders, including customers, DER owners, and the distribution system operator. This strategy is expected to facilitate a smoother transition to decentralized, resilient, and sustainable distribution systems.
