Evaluating distribution network optimal structure with respect to solar hosting capacity

Optimal design of distribution networks has become an important topic for analysis due to the growing share photovoltaics (PV). Low and medium voltage should undergo structural changes accommodate widespread PV generation optimal operation. In this paper, impact network structure on solar hosting capacity (HC) is analyzed with respect role low in power delivery. A given set load nodes simulated multiple feeding substations varying peak number plants. The slime mold algorithm utilized numerous topology generations measured time series represent regions ranging from rural urban. results reveal that go through significant cope larger even more so increase HC. On other hand, control measures, such as on-load tap changers, reactive curtailment, provide a competitive solution size power. Finally, study provides evidence possible need change residential policies order sustain current pace adopting plants Finland.
