Photovoltaic Maximum Penetration Limits on Medium Voltage Overhead and Underground Cable Distribution Feeders: A Comparative Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the maximum photovoltaic (PV) penetration limits on both overhead lines and underground cables medium voltage radial distribution system. The PV limit is estimated considering bus (1.05 p.u.) feeder current ampacity (1 p.u.). All factors affect max are investigated in detail. Substation voltage, load percentage, power factor, system frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) analyzed. associated with usually higher than value for high substation (substation = 1.05 1.04 decreases dramatically low percentage types but still accept plant cables. Conversely, increases factor decreasing capability hosting remains of proved that 60-Hz 50 MATLAB software has been employed to obtain all results this paper. Newton-Raphson iterative method was used solve flow systems.

Maximum Photovoltaic Penetration Levels on Typical Distribution Feeders: Preprint
This paper presents simulation results for a taxonomy of typical distribution feeders with various levels of photovoltaic (PV) penetration. For each of the 16 feeders simulated, the maximum PV penetration that did not result in steady-state voltage or current violation is presented for several PV location scenarios: clustered near the feeder source, clustered near the midpoint of the feeder, cl...
متن کاملMaximum PV-penetration in low-voltage cable networks
As a consequence of the increasing amount of PV-systems connected to the LV-network the question arises whether these networks are able to cope with large amounts of PV. In this paper it is investigated whether problems have to be expected in typical LV networks in the Netherlands. It is shown that exceeding of the regulatory voltage levels is the first limiting factor for integration of PV, fo...
متن کاملSmart Inverter Voltage Control on Distribution Feeders
Smart inverters are studied in both the dynamic/transient and steady state in a simulation environment. Using EPRI OpenDSS, five real California feeders are simulated over a 95 day period while the PV penetration and smart inverter fraction are varied. From the simulations, it is shown that smart inverters operating under different Volt/VAr based control schemes improve feeder conditions. The i...
