Abstract In this paper, solar photovoltaic hosting capacity within the electrical distribution network is estimated for different buses, and the impacts of high PV penetration are evaluated using power hardware-in-loop testing methods. It is observed that the considered operational constraints (i.e. voltage and loadings) and their operational limits have a significant impact on the hosting capacity results. However, with increasing photovoltaic penetration, some of the network buses reach maximum hosting capacity, which affects the network operation (e.g. bus voltages, line loading). The results show that even distributing the maximum hosting capacity among different buses can increase the bus voltage rise to 9%. To maintain the network bus voltages within acceptable limits, reactive power voltage-based droop control is implemented in the photovoltaic conditioning devices to test the dynamics of the network operation. The results show that implementation of the droop control technique can reduce the maximum voltage rise from 9% to 4% in the considered case. This paper also presents the impact of forming a mesh type network (i.e. from radial network) on the voltage profile during PV penetration, and a comparative analysis of the operational performance of a mesh type and radial type electrical network is performed. It is observed that the cumulative effect of forming a mesh type network along with a droop control strategy can further improve the voltage profile and contribute to increase photovoltaic penetration. The results are verified using an experimental setup of digital real-time simulator and power hardware-in-loop test methods. The results from this work will be useful for estimating the appropriate photovoltaic hosting capacity within a distribution network and implementation of a droop control strategy in power conditioning devices to maintain the network operational parameters within the specified limits. Highlights Voltage and line loading constraints’ combination can reduce PV hosting capacity by 50% as compared to only voltage as a constraint. Implementation of reactive power versus voltage droop control in PV power conditioning device can reduce voltage variation from 9% to 4%. In a PV integrated electrical energy network, line loading can be reduced by 20% if the network is configured from radial to mesh type.

Power loss reduction is an important problem that needs to be addressed with respect to generating electrical power. It is important to reduce power loss using locally generated power sources and/or compensations. This chapter brings a method of presents a method of maximizing energy utilization, feeder loss reduction, and voltage profile improvement for radial distribution network using the active and reactive power sources. Distributed Generation (DG) (wind and solar with backup by biomass generation) and shunt capacitor (QG) for reactive power demand are used. Integrating DG and QG at each bus might reduce the loss but it is economically unaffordable, especially for developing countries. Therefore, the utilization optimization method is required for finding an optimal size and location to feeders for placing QG and DG to minimize feeder loss.

A high proportion of renewable energy connected to the power grid has caused power quality problems. Voltage-sensitive loads are extremely susceptible to voltage fluctuations, causing power system safety issues and economic losses. Considering the uncertainty factor and the time-varying characteristic, a linearized random ZIP model (constant impedance (Z), constant current (I), and constant power (P)) with time-varying characteristics was proposed. In order to improve the voltage quality of the voltage-sensitive loads in the day-here stage in an active distribution network (ADN), a linearized two-stage active and reactive power coordinated stochastic optimization model was established. The day-ahead active and reactive power coordination optimization was to smooth the large voltage fluctuation and develop a reserve plan to eliminate the unbalanced power caused by the prediction error in the day-here optimization. In the day-here real-time redispatch, the voltage was further improved by the continuous reactive power compensation device. Finally, the simulation results on the IEEE-33 bus system showed that the control strategy could better eliminate the unbalanced power caused by the prediction error and obviously improve the voltage of sensitive loads in the real-time stage on the premise of maintaining economic optimality.
