Optimal placement and sizing of battery energy storage using the genetic algorithm

Voltage drop and rise at network peak and off-peak periods are one of the major power quality problems in low voltage distribution networks. Additionally, the ever increasing demand for electricity along with the other requirements are driving modern day power systems towards more distributed generation (DG). Integration of large scale DG can be...

Voltage support strategies in a rural low voltage network with high photovoltaic penetration

The rapidly increasing penetration of rooftop PV systems in rural LV distribution networks calls for the attention of DNOs in order to secure end-user voltage range. In times of high photovoltaic generation and low load consumption, voltage at PCCs may exceed the specified upper limit and make PV inverters trip. This phenomenon hinders further...

Response of Low Voltage Networks with High Photovoltaic Systems Penetration to Transmission Network Faults

The need for fault ride-through (FRT) capability is not yet documented for the low voltage connected DG. The realization that an increase in the capacity of installed DG power in the specific voltage level can trigger disconnection, in case of transmission faults, of massive amounts of power from DG and jeopardize system stability is forming. In...
