研究目的
Investigating the impact of high penetration levels of rooftop solar and wind power distributed generation (DG) on the UK low voltage (LV) network protection system, including reverse power flow and fault current levels.
研究成果
The study concludes that high penetration levels of rooftop DGs can cause reverse power flow and affect fault current levels in the LV network, requiring updates to relay settings and fuse ratings. Proper management of energy storage batteries (ESB) and selection of renewable DGs can mitigate these issues by ensuring power flows from the grid to the LV network, maintaining the network's passive behavior.
研究不足
The study focuses on a specific UK LV network model and may not be directly applicable to other network configurations. The impact of varying weather conditions on renewable energy generation and the scalability of the proposed solutions are areas for further research.
