To cite this version:Abstract-The aim of this paper is to apply probabilistic load flow methods on a three phases, unbalanced low voltage distribution network. We use a point estimate method and a Monte Carlo simulation based method to estimate the electrical characteristics (buses voltage, phases and neutral conductors currents) of a distribution grid in presence of a large number of small size photovoltaic generators. Probabilistic load flow allows us to take into account the uncertainty of photovoltaic production and load consumption in load flow computation. The literature shows that PEM method gives good accuracy results while requiring less time simulation than Monte Carlo simulation. In this paper, we aim to check if this assumption is still right with different kinds of probability density function and for a large size electrical network. Usually, random parameters are modeled as a normal distribution. In this work, a generalized extreme value is used to model load consumption behaviour instead of a normal one. The uncertainty of photovoltaic production is supposed to be directly linked to the sky clear index which is modeled as a beta distribution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
