Increased penetration of Distributed Energy Resources and microgrids have fundamentally changed the operation al characteristics of Low Voltage (LV) network systems. Current LV network protection philosophy and practice are due for a significant re vamp to keep up with changing operating conditions. This workshop invites four of the major LV network users in the US to discuss the challenges they face today and the new technologies they have been experimenting with in light of this workshop discussion, use cases for further hardware-in-the-loop testing efforts are proposed to evaluate new LV network protection solutions.
