MUMBAI, India, Aug. 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421013878 A) filed by Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Maharashtra, on Feb. 26, 2024, for 'method and system for optimizing distributed energy resource hosting capacity of electrical distribution network.'

Inventor(s) include Rao, Anuj Kumar; Sharma, Deepak; Bichpuriya, Yogesh Kumar; Menon, Vishnu Padmakumar; Sarangan, Venkatesh; Velayudhan Kumar, Mohan Raj; and Rajagopal, Narayanan.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 29, under issue no. 35/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Accurate estimation of distributed energy resources (DER) hosting capacity of electrical distribution network becomes pivotal to ensure reliable and stable operation of network. Existing techniques either do not capture real-life scenarios or use approximation techniques to simplify computation which leads to improper estimation of hosting capacity. Present disclosure provides method and system for determining optimal DER hosting capacity of electrical distribution network. The system first receives network configuration data, historical temporal data of DER generation, historical temporal data of load, and capacity information of each DER as input which is then utilized to compute bus and line admittance matrix for determining power flow constraints. Then, system models plurality of constraints. Thereafter, system models objective function for minimizing losses and maximizing DER utilization which is then used along with modelled constraints to create an optimization model. Finally, system solves optimization model to obtain DER hosting capacity of electrical distribution network."
