Voltage Regulation Assessment in the Distributed Network with Wind Turbines and Photovoltaics Implemented

2019

Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2019 High penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) in the Distributed Network (DN) could cause undesirable operating conditions. The DN isby conventional means planned, andoperated in a passivemanner, i.e., the level of monitoring is low, and the power flow ispredicted in order to provide satisfactory power quality at the customer’s Point of Common Coupling (PCC). However, the implementation of DGs based on intermittent renewable energy sources, such as Photovoltaics (PV) or Wind Turbines (WT) stress the existing voltage regulation scheme in the DN. One of the objectives of the Distribution System Operators (DSO) is to provide…
