Load Pattern

Background: The improvement of the voltage in power lines and the respect of the low voltage distribution transformer substations constraints (Transformer utilization rate and Voltage drop) are possible by several means: reinforcement of conductor sections, installation of new MV / LV substations (Medium Voltage (MV), Low Voltage (LV)), etc. Methods: Connection of mini-photovoltaic systems (PV) to the network, or to consumers in underserved areas, is a well-adopted solution to solve the problem of voltage drop and lighten the substation transformer, and at the same time provide clean electrical energy. PV systems can therefore contribute to this solution since they produce energy at the deficit site. Results: This paper presents the improvement of transformer substation constraints, supplying an end of low voltage electrical line, by inserting photovoltaic systems at underserved subscribers. Conclusion: This study is applied to a typical load pattern, specified to the consumers region.

Thin film sensor has the advantages of small size and low cost, which has become a research hotspot in recent years. A measurement system of passive optical fiber DC current sensor based on the thin film sensors is designed in this article. Designs of electric-heating converter, heating-light converter and low-voltage measurement display system are introduced in detail. Experimental results indicate that the general linear correlation between the time constant of fluorescent lifetime and the voltage across the thin film resistor. The feasibility of measurement system is verified via the results of the experiment.

The Impact

Europe aims to diversify energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. On this field, large PV power growth is observed that may cause problems in existing networks. This paper examines the impact of distributed PV systems on voltage quality in a low voltage feeder in terms of the European standard EN 50160. As the standard defines allowable percentage of violation during one week period, time-series analyses are done to assess PV hosting capacity. The simulations are conducted with 10-minute step and comprise variable load profiles based on Gaussian Mixture Model and PV profiles based on a distribution with experimentally obtained parameters. In addition, the outcomes are compared with “snapshot” simulations. Next, it is examined how energy storage utilization affects the hosting capacity. Several deployments of energy storages are presented with different number and capacity. In particular, a greedy algorithm is proposed to determine the sub-optimal energy storage deployment based on the voltage deviation minimization. The simulations show that time-series analyses in comparison with snapshot analyses give completely different results and change the level of PV hosting capacity. Moreover, incorrect energy storage capacity selection and location may cause even deterioration of power quality in electrical systems with high RES penetration.
