Voltage Regulation in Low Voltage Distribution Networks with Embedded Photovoltaic Microgeneration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low voltage distribution networks have been originally designed to feed loads. However, recently, small dispersed renewable generators, mainly photovoltaics, are being connected to the low voltage grids. This new operational framework represents a challenge to the planning and operation of distribution networks, since the multidimensional stochastic dependence structure of the joint behaviour of the generation and load can be very complex to model. This paper intends to give further insight to the subject by presenting a three-phase unbalanced load flow method suitable to deal with radial networks with embedded microgeneration. Some results concerning the voltage profile as obtained after Monte-Carlo simulations for different load scenarios are presented in the paper, as well as an assessment of the generation shedding procedures undertaken to control the voltage.

Photovoltaic systems (PVs), despite their many advantages, may have effects such as power quality issues (voltage and harmonics increase), short-circuits level increase, protection issues, and transient stability for network. Some of these effects are due to the high PV penetration, which encounters the network with the over-voltage and harmonics problems. In this paper, the location, size and ...

With the assumption that photovoltaic power plants will use all available roof areas in the future, it is not possible to integrate the entire PV potential in today's low-voltage distribution grids. Due to the enormous feed-in of fluctuating electrical power in low-voltage grids by smallscale photovoltaic plants, transformers and cables can reach their loading limits. Moreover, the grid voltage...
