Combined Distribution Networks News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

The emergence of distributed generation such as solar systems has introduced new challenges in distribution networks that are becoming more apparent with increasing penetration levels. The time mismatch between peak load and peak generation can make voltage levels in distribution networks swing towards extreme limits during a day. Distribution network service providers are struggling to cater for new distributed generation installations while ensuring that the quality of steady state supply voltage meets stipulated requirements. The segregation between medium and low voltage networks in control strategies may result in unnecessary or worse, opposing control actions leading to voltage issues and control on one side of the distribution network influencing the other. By developing an efficient volt/var control method, the steady state voltage level and voltage unbalance in a comprehensive distribution network can be controlled simultaneously. This paper analyses voltage issues and volt/va ....
