Introduction Penetration of PV generation in distribution and transmission systems has increased dramatically in recent years. Small numbers of PV generation offer few or no problems, but as the percentage of PV generation grows, a number of issues begin to appear. Large penetrations of PV generators might have negative impacts on the system they are connected to. Engineering analysis requires detailed simulation models.

Effects on: Overcurrent protection coordination Voltage regulation Reliability Power losses Detection of unintentional islanding Overvoltage during islanding Voltage change during DG tripping 10

What are the issues? Category
Issue
Overcurrent protection get “confused” -> false trips, no trips Line regulators get “confused -> high/low voltage on DG side Capacitor switching, LTC operation, and line VR operation caused by cloud shading. Voltage Fluctuation Flicker caused by step voltage change during switching. Capacitor switching transients (synchronous closing, preinsertion impedance, point-on-wave) Low/medium PV penetration -> PV offsets load thereby decreasing section loading Modification of Feeder Section Loading High PV penetration -> PV may exceed base load, capacity sufficient to distribute surplus power? Increase in Power Losses PV changes loading (see row above). Impact on losses Fault Current PV increases fault current. Impact on relay protection. Utility system reclosing into live island may damage Unintentional Islanding switchgear and loads. Ground Fault Overvoltage Single-phase fault -> TOVs on unfaulted phase. Harmonics Harmonics caused by PV inverter Effect of fast transients caused by cloud shading and system Dynamics disturbances. Dynamic interaction of transients with other conventional and non-conventional control devices. Imbalance caused by uneven distribution of PV causing Feeder Imbalance Neutral-to-Earth voltages, Overloaded Neutrals Reverse Power Flow

Solar Power Variability Impacts
Project Summary – Objectives: Provide a technically sound method of aggregating PV impacts on distribution feeder voltage control. Develop quantitative measures of the voltage control impacts from a variable DG source – Builds on the UWIG DG Evaluation Toolbox – Completed Tasks • Literature Search • Flicker Meter Implementation in OpenDSS • Feeder Model Reduction CYME OpenDSS – Tasks to Do • New Screener and PV Profile Aggregation Using Wavelets on Web Server
56
Source: LBLN-2855E
Literature Search – Little Available on Solar Variability – Background from Wind Variability
– Existing Solar Results • Focus on Ramp Rates for Transmission • Variability Can be Comparable to Wind • Small Separation More Correlation • Small Time Windows Less Correlation
– Selected Lave’s Wavelet Method for Use on Distribution Systems

Conclusion No grid today is ready for 100% penetration of PV Significant impact of the conductor type on coupling effects during imbalanced phase loading Imbalance can be much greater than expected both from coupling impacts and changes in actual load at the location of the installation Use of three-phase voltage regulators that do not allow for controlling the voltage on each phase individually, and three-phase tap changers will be an issue in installation of distributed generation Tap changers and other voltage regulating equipment will need more frequent maintenance 65
Conclusion Voltage rises are not uniform and in many cases the voltage at the substation maybe well within limits while at other locations along the feeder, voltage limits may be violated during PV peak production. Power quality issues start at low penetration levels and are greatly influenced by the quality and size of the inverters used to tie the system to the grid With tight clustering and a poorly designed (from an acceptance of distributed generation point of view) circuit can see impacts at less than 1 percent penetration.
66
Recommendations
Suggestions for amendments to current interconnection standards: – Randomization for the wait period for restart of a unit when it has been disconnected – Sensing significant voltage drop that would indicate that the area has been disconnected from the main grid – Allowing for remote disconnect and connect – Allowing operating parameters to be programmed into the unit – Providing a direct DC tap off the unit to power local DC based equipment – Setting up inverters to create VARs on demand – Limiting the size of inverters – Providing telemetry capability for the unit – Providing diagnostics of the units “health” 67
Mitigation Options Options for mitigation in today’s regulatory and standards environment can provide the ability to safety increased the level of distributed generation installed: – Disconnect the DG and pay the owner for the lost potential generation – Placement of voltage regulators – Use of phase balancing equipment
68
Potential Future Phases Future phases of this project will: 1. extend simulation runs described in the current report to include more realistic PV scenarios, which would: • • • • • •
account for high-resolution temporal variation and spatial variation of PV, use large variety of measured load curves rather than few aggregated averaged ones, estimate additional distribution equipment maintenance requirements due to high PV penetration, investigate harmonics and other PQ problems due to increased power electronics deployment, look at the detailed impacts of PV on equipment installed in the grid, and investigate detailed needs for new equipment to be installed to support grid operations. 69
Potential Future Phases Future phases of this project will: 2. study small wind as renewable energy source on distribution grid, • • • •
completion of the modeling – both circuit and substation review of literature on small wind look at the impacts of small wind installations on the model circuit provide a report focused on small wind that covers the following
3. combine the PV and small wind models for various scenarios of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) penetration, and 4. extend DER scenarios to include storage and electric vehicle models • •
Review of the impacts of storage on the distribution grid and substations Matrix of storage uses and characteristics of storage for each use 70
