Abstract
The massive integration of distributed energy resources into electricity networks has produced impacts on voltage profiles and power losses, among others. Nevertheless, demand response programs or energy saving strategies in buildings are initiatives used to improve the demand profile. Therefore, this paper seeks to analyze the impact of the simultaneous integration of distributed energy resources, demand response programs and energy saving strategies in buildings in a distribution network. A co-simulation in Python and PowerFactory is used to simulate operating scenarios automatically. As a result, the simultaneous integration of the initiatives favors parameters such as voltage levels, power losses and transformer loading. However, it is necessary to set limits on the integration of resources to avoid affecting the operation of electricity networks.
