Impact of Residential Photovoltaic Power Systems on the Distribution Feeder

Abstract

A computer study was conducted to evaluat 1200 kVAR and the other two rated at 900 kVAR. The ate the impact of distributed residential photovoltaic measured daily load curve for this feeder is shown in power system on the feeder.This study indicated that Figure 1 for a typical hot day in July. The correspondthe PV system would not seriously effect the feeder ing measured power generated by the PV system at UTA is voltage. It also indicated that an inverter power facshown in Figure 2. tor of 0.85 would be acceptable.

Impact of Rooftop Photovoltaics on the Distribution System

“…Different aspects of PV impact on the distribution grid.Power fluctuations due to variability in solar irradiance[11, 19, 61, 64, 67, 71-74, 86, 89, 96, 122, 123, 129, 131, 145, 146, 149, 174, 176, 178, 188, 198, 200, 208, 214, 216, 224, 226, 229, 232, 233, 235, 240-243] Overvoltage caused by PVs[68,93,104,113,139,157,158,197,201,237,[244][245][246][247][248][249][250][251] Effect of rooftop PV on the transmission grid[12, 109, 128, 135, 145, 216-219, 221, 228] Comparing the performance of PV in voltage correction to voltage regulators (VRs) or capacitor banks…”

Statistical Methods for Detection and Mitigation of the Effect of Different Types of Cyber-Attacks and Inconsistencies in Electrical Design Parameters in a Real World Distribution System

“…which are highly essential for large scale installation of PV generators at distribution side. Moreover PV generators are vigorously being endorsed in order to alleviate environmental issues such as the greenhouse effect and air pollution and also they help in relieving thermal overloads and reducing losses in distribution systems [6][7]. Another advantage is that solar technology is very flexible and can be easily changed to provide the required power for different loads.…”
