[IEEE 2018 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM) - Portland, OR, USA (2018.8.5-2018.8.10)] 2018 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM) - Comparative Study of Active Power Curtailment Methods of PVs for Preventing Overvoltage on Distribution Feeders
摘要： Overvoltage is one of the major issues on distribution grids with high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) generation. Overvoltage could be prevented through the control of active/reactive power of PVs. However, given the high R/X ratio of low voltage feeders, voltage control by using reactive power would not be as effective as using active power. Therefore, active power curtailment (APC) of PVs, though not desirable, becomes necessary at times to prevent the overvoltage issues. Existing literature is rich in centralized and droop-based methods for APC and/or reactive power control of PVs to prevent overvoltage issues. In this context, this paper revisits the most popular existing methods, and evaluates the performance of droop-based and centralized methods using a typical North American 240 V low voltage feeder with 24 residential homes. In this work, our key findings are: a) droop-based methods provided conservative solutions or did not eliminate the overvoltages completely, b) power flow sensitivity based droop approach led to 13% more curtailment than the centralized approaches, c) centralized approach had 40% less energy curtailed compared with standard droop while no overvoltages were observed, and d) operating PVs at non-unity power factor in centralized approach led to 5% less energy curtailment.

Photovoltaics and opportunistic electric vehicle charging in the power system – a case study on a Swedish distribution grid
摘要： Renewable distributed generation and electric vehicles (EVs) are two important components in the transition to a more sustainable society. However, both pose new challenges to the power system due to the intermittent generation and EV charging load. In this case study, a power system consisting of a low- and medium-voltage rural and urban distribution grid with 5174 customers, high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) electricity and a fully electrified car fleet were assumed, and their impact on the grid was assessed. The two extreme cases of two summer weeks and two winter weeks with and without EV charging and a PV penetration varying between 0 and 100% of the annual electricity consumption were examined. Active power curtailment of the PV systems was used to avoid overvoltage. The results show an increased electricity consumption of 9.3% in the winter weeks and 17.1% in the summer weeks, a lowering of the minimum voltage by 1% at the most, and a marginal contribution by the EV charging to lower the need of PV power curtailment. This shows the minor impact of EV charging on the distribution grid, both in terms of allowing more PV power generation and in terms of lower voltage levels.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe) - Bucharest, Romania (2019.9.29-2019.10.2)] 2019 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe) - Operation of a Low Voltage Distribution Grid in Cyprus and the Impact of Photovoltaics and Electric Vehicles
摘要： The operation of a typical 4-wire, radial, Low Voltage Distribution Grid (LVDG) in the Cyprus power system, where the neutral conductor is grounded only at the MV/LV transformer, is investigated under different scenarios. These include seasonal loading profiles and different penetration levels of photovoltaics (PVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). The analysis is focused on the impact of PVs and EVs on the voltage profile of the LVDG, the loading conditions of the distribution lines/cables and on the system losses. The results indicate that even with a moderate number of PVs, the admissible voltage limits can be exceeded due to the significant voltage drop across the neutral conductor. Moreover, the distribution lines/cables near the transformer can be overloaded if the charging process of the electric vehicles is not coordinated and is left freely to end users.
