Abstract: The current energy transition in India is instigating significant shifts in the energy paradigm, especially in low-voltage distribution networks. These networks are faced with dual obstacles: the bidirectional power flows arising from the fluctuating contributions of distributed energy resources (DERs) and the considerable energy demands posed by electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, which are frequently identified by high simultaneity. These dynamics lead to an exceptional inequality between minimal and peak power demands, thereby applying pressure on grid stability and operational productivity. Given these challenges, it is crucial to ensure compliance with voltage regulations and to develop efficient grid management strategies.. In addition to traditional grid enhancements, the incorporation of advanced and intelligent solutions is becoming increasingly essential. This investigation clarifies the justification, conceptual structure, and essential doctrines of a thorough load management system customized for low-voltage grids. The system employs the essential versatility of these grids to dynamically coordinate demand and supply. A pilot grid will function as the platform for both development and demonstration of this system. The research presents an extensive assessment of the pilot grid's topology and elements, in conjunction with a detailed review of historical energy data, underscoring the influence of charging stations and an industrial facility. By addressing the complexities inherent in modern low-voltage grids, this load management system offers a scalable and adaptable framework for grid optimization, thus ensuring stability while promoting the continual growth of renewable energy assimilation and electric vehicle infrastructure.
