Abstract: The paper analyzes the operation of a medium-voltage power grid that meets the requirements of a Local Balancing Area. Based on actu
al data, simulations were performed to illustrate the impact of different methods of balancing load in this network on annual energy purchase costs.
The profitability of investments in photovoltaic installations in combination with electricity storage was demonstrated as well as the benefits and challen
ges associated with the use of a gas cogeneration source were identified.
