Abstract--The safe operation of electrical power systems is an ongoing problem. Despite the existing defense lines in the different electrical systems, they are not immune to widespread incidents leading to tripping of most consumers. In the defense plans against these major incidents, selective load shedding (LS) even optimized (but brutal), is the last resort before total blackout. This paper proposes a new concept of residential consumers "soft" load shedding (SLS). Its originality lies within the fact that it takes only a fraction of the consumers' power, even if the effort is spread over a larger number. It therefore seeks to avoid the plunge into darkness.

In 2012 a consortium of 21 partners from 16 EU countries launched the PV GRID project having as objective to reduce barriers hampering the large-scale integration of photovoltaic systems in distribution grids across Europe. This goal will be pursued through an analysis of barriers and solutions and the formulation of regulatory and normative recommendations. In a first step, technical solutions for increasing the grid hosting capacity have been identified. The suitability of the technical solutions has then been analyzed. The methodology for this analysis is presented in this paper.
