Incentive-based regulations, toward higher performance networks, are the main driver for minimising losses in distribution systems. On the other hand, more renewable generation is needed to achieve environmental targets. Hence, a multiobjective model is introduced in this study seeking to minimise energy losses as well as maximise renewable generation in radial distribution systems (RDSs). Two alternative control strategies of future smart grids such as reactive power management using adaptive power factor control and coordinated voltage control are considered in the optimisation problem. The problem is subjected to the various technical constraints such as voltage limits, thermal limits and reactive capability limits of photovoltaic (PV) penetration, power factor regulations and underload tap changer adjustment. Also, the uncertainties of load and renewable generation are considered, too. Then, the obtained non-linear programming problem is relaxed and reformulated as a wellsuited and computationally efficient second-order cone programming problems. To obtain more efficient and evenly distributed Pareto set to help decision-making process, a modified normal boundary intersection method is introduced for solution methodology. The implementation of the proposed framework on IEEE 33-bus RDSs shows the gains that the flexibility provided by innovative control strategies can have on energy loss reduction and PV capacity.

“…In power system point of view, the place-flexibility of PV generation allows to employ the plant not only as power source for distributed generation, but can also as part of scheme for the transmission/distribution losses reduction [4], as compensator and power conditioner for the power system [5]. In addition, the module-based production of PV plant components that enables ones to build and adjust the size of PV plant from small capacity and then expand it to follow the demand growth is also one of advantages of this type of generation system.…”

Single-phase grid tied inverter is one among types of inverters widely used in photovoltaic (PV) generation system due to the advantages they offer. This chapter describes model and simulation of such inverter in operation as distributed generation in electrical power system. Power characteristics including power quality, grid interaction behavior and load sharing that are important aspects in their operation as grid connected inverter will be simulated and analyzed. The role of current or voltage control and associated mechanism in photovoltaic inverter such as photovoltaic I-V characteristic, maximum power point tracker (MPPT), and other mechanism that involves in power flow and load sharing control are described. Further, some observation and measurement from a 5-kWp laboratory scale grid interconnected photovoltaic plant that employ single phase photovoltaic inverter will be presented. The load sharing behavior between photovoltaic plant and utility grid during supplying both linear and non linear load that connected on their point of common coupling. In addition, observation and measurement results of power quality parameter behavior during photovoltaic inverter operation along extremely density variation of photovoltaic produced energy that comes from the atmospheric condition will be presented.
