Impacts of increased photovoltaic panel utilisation on utility grid operations - a case study

Abstract

-Renewable energy is starting to be used as the panacea for solving climate change or global warming problems. Therefore in the starting of 21 st century, Government, utilities and research communities are working together to develop a climate-friendly power generation systems for a sustainable society by increasing large-scale energy generation from renewable energy sources. However, due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources creates a number of potential challenges in integrating renewable energy with the existing grid. Harmonic distortion, voltage fluctuation, voltage management, demand assessment, and load rejection are the major potential issues concerning the application of photovoltaic -Distributed Generation. This paper develops a model using PSS SINCAL to investigate the impacts on integrating photovoltaic panel on the utility grid.

Application of DR and co‐simulation approach for renewable integrated HEMS: a review

“…DigSilent power factory is used to model the generation, distribution, transmission and industrial grids and to analyse mutual interactions [105–107]. PSS siemens network calculation (SINCAL) aimed the analysis of utility DS and smart meters data such as to perform load flow optimisation and power flow and load balancing, optimal branching simulations and issues of integration of PV panels to the grid [108, 109]. Power world simulator is to design the HV operation of PS with time frames from minutes to days.…”
