There has been a large body of statements claiming that the large scale deployment of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) will eventually reshape the future distribution grid operation in numerous ways. However, there is a lack of evidence specifying to what extent the power system operation will be alternated. In this project, quantitative results in terms of how the future distribution grid will be changed by the deployment of distributed generation, active demand and electric vehicles, are presented. The quantitative analysis is based on the conditions for both a radial and a meshed distribution network. The input parameters are on the basis of the current and envisioned DER deployment scenarios proposed for Sweden. The simulation results indicate that the deployment of DERs can significantly reduce the power losses and voltage drops by compensating power from the local energy resources, and limiting the power transmitted from the external grid. However, it is notable that the opposite results (e.g., severe voltage uctuations, larger power losses) can be obtained due to the intermittent characteristics of DERs and the irrational management of different types of DERs in the DNs. Subsequently, this will lead to challenges for the Distribution System Operator (DSO).
