“…For example in Germany PV are monitored and support frequency by local control. According to the German VDE AR-N 4105 guidelines for the low and medium voltage grid, frequencies over 50.2 Hz lead to smooth power reduction of PV systems according to a predefined characteristic curve [19].…”

“…For example, German feed-in tariff law has required owners of PV systems with active power less than 30 kWp to either limit the reactive power output to 70% of the installed capacity or install a remote control interface to receive temporal power reduction signals from the DSO, if necessary. Units with more than 30 kWp must be controllable remotely [19].…”

Abstract-The integration of significant volumes of distributed and renewable energy resources directly connected to the distribution network raises new requirement to maintain and operate the power system in secure state. Thus the Distribution Management System (DMS) needs to be updated and integrated with new functionality to provide effective support for the operators. The DMS is a control center solution that provides the needed functionality for the management of medium and low voltage distribution networks. This paper aims to provide an overview of the main functions present in today´s DMS platforms and to identify the new requirements to better serve in a smart grid context. Index Terms-active distribution networks, distribution management system, frequency control, smart grid, synthetic inertia.

“…The annual and cumulative installed PV capacity for the year 2015 of the first nine countries (China, Japan, USA, UK, India, Germany, Korea, Australia, and France) Malaysia introduced FiT in 2011 [6], the government encourage renewable energy (RE) projects in order to supplement fossil fuel electricity generation. Although Malaysia's RE targets are only 10% of total generation capacity by 2020, it is clear that Malaysia has a long way to go, given that current RE capacity is around 234 MW (2014) vs. the 2,080 MW target by 2020 [6]. This indicates that there is significant room for RE expansion.…”

Abstract-High photovoltaic (PV) integration in electrical grid is one of the strategic goals for many countries nowadays. That's why many governments introduced incentive policies seeking for PV projects funded by private sector. These kinds of projects have to be a positive net present value (NPV) in order to get sponsorship by non-government sector. This paper investigates the PV solar system financial analysis in Malaysia and Turkey. In developing counties, the governments are looking for more renewable energy (RE) sources installation. Thus, they implemented Feed-in Tariff (FiT) mechanism to accelerate investment in renewable energy technologies. As the efficiency of the PV cell increases and the cost/Wp decreases with time, the expected net present value (NPV), return on investment (ROI) and payback period for the PV system are going to achieve a significant increase. The FiT rate in Malaysia is significantly higher than Turkey and the purchase agreement is longer. These advantages would make Malaysia a better place for PV system investment. Moreover, this paper proposed the PV system to be installed at the roof of building, merged with another suitable business such as; roller skating rink or cafe. This combination makes the PV project making income at day time via solar radiation, while generating income at evening and night time via the other business. The analysis results revealed that, the combination of PV system with roller skating rink or cafe can reduce the payback period and make a wonderful combination between green energy and people.

Abstract-This work presents two large-scale regional models used for the evaluation of normalized power output from wind turbines and photovoltaic power plants on a European regional scale. The models give an estimate of renewable production on a regional scale with 1 h resolution, starting from a mesoscale meteorological data input and taking in account the characteristics of different plants technologies and spatial distribution. An evaluation of the hourly forecasted energy production on a regional scale would be very valuable for the transmission system operators when making the long-term planning of the transmission system, especially regarding the cross-border power flows. The tuning of these regional models is done using historical meteorological data acquired on a per-country basis and using publicly available data of installed capacity.Index Terms-Large-scale integration, modeling, photovoltaic (PV) power systems, renewable energy sources, wind energy.
