Overload and overvoltage in low-voltage and medium-voltage networks due to renewable energy - Some illustrative case studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the use of curtailment to allow more wind or solar power to be connected to a distribution network when overcurrent or overvoltage set a limit. Four case studies, all based on measurements, are presented. In all cases the hosting capacity method is used to quantify the gain in produced energy for increased levels of distributed renewable energy resources. A distinction is made between “hard cur-

A Battery Based Solution to Overvoltage Problems in Low Voltage Distribution Networks with Micro Generation
During the past years, governments throughout the world have been encouraging the installation of renewable energy systems to cope with environmental goals. In this framework, there has been a significant increase in the number of energy producers on the consumers’side, majorly due to photovoltaic and wind energy microgeneration.This has brought some concerns in voltage control on buses far awa...
متن کاملAn Interleaved Configuration of Modified KY Converter with High Conversion Ratio for Renewable Energy Applications; Design, Analysis and Implementation
In this paper, a new high efficiency, high step-up, non-isolated, interleaved DC-DC converter for renewable energy applications is presented. In the suggested topology, two modified step-up KY converters are interleaved to obtain a high conversion ratio without the use of coupled inductors. In comparison with the conventional interleaved DC-DC converters such as boost, buck-boost, SEPIC, ZETA a...
متن کاملLow Voltage Ride-Through Capability Improvement of Doubly Fed Induction Generator using DVR and SMES
Abstract: With the growth of communities and the increasing need for electricity, and because of the many benefits of renewable energy sources, the wind turbine has become a completely commercial and inevitable process, with increasing penetration into the electricity grid. Distribution networks, on the other hand, are subject to fault that cause power fluctuations and outflow of wind units. In...
متن کاملHosting Capacity of the Power Grid for Renewable Electricity Production and New Large Consumption Equipment
After a brief historical introduction to the hosting-capacity approach, the hosting capacity is presented in this paper as a tool for distribution-system planning under uncertainty. This tool is illustrated by evaluating the readiness of two low-voltage networks for increasing amounts of customers with PV panels or with EV chargers. Both undervoltage and overvoltage are considered in the studie...
متن کاملDesign of a non-isolated multi-input converter with soft switching and high step-up voltage gain
Energy is one of the most important factors for the economic growth and development of each country. Most of the energy is consumed in the form of electricity. One of the most important ways to generate electricity is to produce electricity through fossil fuels. However, due to their disadvantages such as limitations and concerns about the environment and increased demand for energy, engineers ...
