Abstract

distribution resources Load modeling Loading Measurement photovoltaic placement Photovoltaic systems Power distribution Standards Substations system imbalance
The number of renewable sources, namely photovoltaics (PV), continues to grow within distribution systems. How placements impact a system's performance remains a concern within both the research and the utility communities. Beyond system node voltages and real power losses, this work looks to industry standard imbalance metrics and the changes experienced on these values with varied levels of PV. Specifically, four imbalance metrics are presented and studied for an actual 906-bus distribution system. Multiple loading conditions and photovoltaic placement schemes are explored to compare the changes seen on these metrics across a variety of scenarios experienced by the network.
