Abstract (EN): Large scale integration of micro-generation, together with active loads and energy storage devices, under micro-grid and multi micro-grid concepts, requires the adoption of advanced control strategies at different distribution network levels. This paper presents advanced control functionality to be housed at high voltage (HV)/medium voltage (MV) substations and to be used to manage micro-generation, active loads and energy storage, subject to different constraints. Some of these constraints involve inter-temporal relations, such as the ones related with energy storage levels in consecutive time moments. This functionality is specially oriented to deal with stressed MV network operation involving overload and excessive voltage drops situations.
