Analysis of COVID-19 effect on residential loads and distribution transformers

How residential energy consumption has changed due to COVID-19 pandemic? An agent-based model

“…Individuals started to substitute or complement numerous OH activities, such as travel to work, with IH activities, work from home, and virtual care ( Jones et al, 2020 ). This transformation reshaped the daily OH and IH activities ( Fatmi et al, 2021 ), as well as shifted the burden of energy cost from employers to employees ( Mahfuz Alam & Ali, 2021 ). This change in daily activities increased residential energy usage significantly ( Mahfuz Alam & Ali, 2021 ).…”

Lessons learned from Milan electric power distribution networks data analysis during COVID-19 pandemic

“…Referring to primary substations power flows, the transmission system operator could find unexpectedly intense reverse power flows, with a distributed generator’s production surplus and voltage profile issues. Paper [14] analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic situation on residential loads and local distribution transformers. The authors observed an increase in energy consumption during the entire office hour or part of the office hour.…”

Demand and price fluctuations effect on risk and profit of single and clustered microgrids during COVID-19 pandemic

“…Reference [17] performed a long-term prediction-based assessment on the power demand gap affected by COVID-19 at a case in China. The impact of the pandemic on the local distribution transformers and residential demand is evaluated in [18] .…”
