Abstract

This paper describes a granular approach for investigating the impacts of very high PV generation penetration. Studies on two real-world distribution feeders connected to PV plants are presented. The studies include both steady-state and time series power flow analyses, which include the effects of solar variability. The goal of the study is to predict the effects of increasing levels of PV generation as it reaches very high penetration levels. Impact results from the analyses are described along with potential mitigations.
