Performance evaluation of PV penetration at different locations in a LV distribution network connected with an off-load tap changing transformer

<span>Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation has shown a worldwide remarkable growth in recent years. In order to achieve the increasing energy demand, large number of residential PV units are connected low voltage (LV) distribution networks. However, high integration solar could cause negative impacts on grids leading violations limits and standards. The rise been recognized as one major implications increased integration, which significantly restrict capacity network support higher penetration levels. This study addresses performance off-load tap changing transformer under detailed analysis carried out examine maximum allowable at discrete positions transformer. determined by ensuring that all nodal voltages adhere grid statutory limits. simulation results demonstrate first two be adopted control penetrations thus facilitating further influx into existing network.</span>
