static and dynamic compensation devices and
DG’s in order to enhance the system stability and
reduce losses
I. INTRODUCTION (CONTINUATION)
Motivations:
 the global supplies of fossil fuels that are
depleting and the fear of its effects and the
damage to the environment.
 Distributed Generations (DG’s) like photovoltaic
system (PV) and the wind turbines (WT), are
one of the promising alternatives
I. INTRODUCTION (CONTINUATION)
 Some issues which should be
considered and analyzed before to
maximize these technical benefits.
 Planning, analysis methods and
appropriate assessment softwares for
DS studies to mitigate the harmful
effects of DG’s prior to its connection to

Harmonics
 Inverters of the PV system convert DC
current to AC current but it will not be a
perfect sinusoidal wave.
 The latest model inverters generate little
harmonics, but an older poor-quality inverter
may generate severe harmonics.
RELATED CODES AND STANDARDS
 The Distributor shall design and operate its System to
assist the System Operator in maintaining the
Fundamental frequency within the limits of 59.7 Hz and
60.3 Hz during normal conditions (PDC 3.2.2.2).
 A power Quality problem exist when at least one of the
following conditions is present and significantly affects
the normal operation of the system: (PDC 3.2.1.2)
•The system frequency has deviated from nominal
value of 60 Hz;
•Voltage magnitudes are outsides their allowable
range of variations;
•Harmonic Frequencies are present in the System;
 At any User System, the THD of the voltage shall
not exceed five percent (5%) during normal
operating conditions (PDC 3.2.4.4).
 d) The Distributor shall conduct Distribution
Impact Studies to evaluate the impact of the
proposed connection or modification to an
existing connection on the Distribution System.
The evaluation shall include the following:
•Impact of short-circuit infeed to the
Distribution Equipment;
•Coordination of Protection system; and
•Impact of User Development on Power
Quality. (PDC 5.3.3.2)
 Limitation of dc injection (IEEE Std. 1547-2003
4.3.1) “The DR and its interconnection system
shall not inject dc current greater than 0.5% of
the full rated output current at the point of DR
connection.” (IEEE Std. 1547-2003 4.3)
ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
IMPACT STUDIES
 Effect of RE on Distribution Transformers
 One problem of the RE integration is that the
PF at distribution transformer is reduced.
 The benefit of this is the network losses are
reduced as transportation of power to a
distance is not needed.
ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
IMPACT STUDIES
 Effect of RE on Protection Device
Protection Device
Basis for Protection Device Rating Original Rating > Required
Protection Device Rating
 The fault can be cleared by the protection
device once the enough fault current is
detected based on this conventional setting.
 With PV installed in the system, there will be
percentage of fault current contributed by PV
system.
 The magnitude of this fault current may not
be enough to trip the protective device due
to the reduction.
ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
IMPACT STUDIES
 Effects of Moving Clouds on Utilities with
Dispersed PV
The power output of PV drops when shadow of
clouds passes above a PV system. Normal
generation capacity of PV system is resumed
once the blocking clouds moves away.
ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
IMPACT STUDIES
 The existence of large PV system, whose output
is intermittent and changes with area directly
exposed to sunlight.
 These systems produce large variations in the
voltage profile due to the reduction of the
amount of power generated from PV system.
ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
IMPACT STUDIES
Voltage Imbalance
This condition commonly occurs for domestic
rooftop systems (PV and wind turbine
installations)
This is due to that fact that these installations
mostly comprise of single phase inverters and
thus disturb the equal voltage balance
condition for three-phase balanced power.
ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
IMPACT STUDIES
 Penetration Limits
 “Penetration” is the ratio of capacity of the PV
to the overall generating capacity. Two kinds of
penetrations are defined here:
 1) “Installed penetration” is the proportion of
PV capacity installed to the overall capacity of
generation installed on utility. It changes when
new generation is either removed or installed
from service.
 2) “Operational penetration” is the proportion
of PV capacity installed (currently generating) to
the overall capacity at a definite time. It
changes continuously with the change in load
and insolation.
At the penetration level where generation from
PV becomes substantial their collective impact
should be considered.
This phenomenon is particularly essential
when broken moving clouds cause the output
of the PV system to change randomly over
time.
IMPORTANT SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES FOR
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM STUDIES
 The softwares must basically supports all RMS
steady-state (i.e., frequency domain) analyses
commonly performed for utility distribution systems.
 It is designed to be indefinitely expandable so that it
can be easily modified to meet future needs in the
areas of studies like;
•Distribution Planning and Analysis
•General Multi-phase AC Circuit Analysis
•Analysis of Distributed Generation
Interconnections
• Annual Load and Generation Simulations
• Wind Plant Simulations
• Harmonics and Inter-harmonics Analysis
• Neutral-to-earth Voltage Simulations
• And more ….
The program has several built-in solution
modes, including:
• Snapshot Power Flow
• Daily Power Flow
• Yearly Power Flow
• Harmonics
• Dynamics
• Fault Study
• And others …

CONCLUSIONS
 The electric distribution system has been
designed with traditionally central generation.
 Historically, this design is a one-way power flow
and has proven to be safe, reliable, and least
cost.
 However, the paradigm is quickly changing due
to price increases of traditional generations
and value shifts with awareness of climate
change.
 The methodologies used DS Load Flow
analysis as primary tool for most of the
simulations.
 The proposed methods are simulated off-line
and utilized efficient solution algorithm for
use in the distribution system environment
with renewable energy’s integration.
 Verifications of its applicability and
robustness were tested using different sizes
of DS standard test systems.
 Simulations of different case scenarios
using real distribution system show that the
proposed methodologies and approach have
promising applications to the current
distribution system needs.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The real implementations of this study have gone
through some difficult part not on the simulations
and analysis of the results but primarily on the
collection of accurate and actual data.
Based from these experiences the following
recommendations to facilitate ease of
implementations and future research in this field
are:
• Create a set of benchmark model data-
base of the distribution system to facilitate
actual valid data testing and simulations.
Upgraded and validated data base an
important component of offline simulations
• Since the simulations was been tested in a
single feeder for its applicability, robustness and
effectiveness, it is recommended to validate the
results with the actual data prior to the full
implementations of the whole distribution
system.
• Develop automated screening tools and the
associated software that will enable evaluation of
the impact RE on the distribution system. This
would help preserve low installation costs while
allowing for the more detailed assessment that
would be necessary at higher penetration levels
of distributed DG’s.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

  • 18. ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IMPACT STUDIES  Effect of RE on Distribution Transformers
  • 19.  One problem of the RE integration is that the PF at distribution transformer is reduced.  The benefit of this is the network losses are reduced as transportation of power to a distance is not needed.

  • 21.  The fault can be cleared by the protection device once the enough fault current is detected based on this conventional setting.  With PV installed in the system, there will be percentage of fault current contributed by PV system.  The magnitude of this fault current may not be enough to trip the protective device due to the reduction.
  • 22. ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IMPACT STUDIES  Effects of Moving Clouds on Utilities with Dispersed PV The power output of PV drops when shadow of clouds passes above a PV system. Normal generation capacity of PV system is resumed once the blocking clouds moves away.
  • 23. ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IMPACT STUDIES  The existence of large PV system, whose output is intermittent and changes with area directly exposed to sunlight.  These systems produce large variations in the voltage profile due to the reduction of the amount of power generated from PV system.
  • 24. ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IMPACT STUDIES Voltage Imbalance This condition commonly occurs for domestic rooftop systems (PV and wind turbine installations) This is due to that fact that these installations mostly comprise of single phase inverters and thus disturb the equal voltage balance condition for three-phase balanced power.
  • 25. ISSUES EXAMINED IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IMPACT STUDIES  Penetration Limits
  • 26.  “Penetration” is the ratio of capacity of the PV to the overall generating capacity. Two kinds of penetrations are defined here:  1) “Installed penetration” is the proportion of PV capacity installed to the overall capacity of generation installed on utility. It changes when new generation is either removed or installed from service.  2) “Operational penetration” is the proportion of PV capacity installed (currently generating) to the overall capacity at a definite time. It changes continuously with the change in load and insolation.
  • 27. At the penetration level where generation from PV becomes substantial their collective impact should be considered. This phenomenon is particularly essential when broken moving clouds cause the output of the PV system to change randomly over time.
  • 28. IMPORTANT SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES FOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM STUDIES  The softwares must basically supports all RMS steady-state (i.e., frequency domain) analyses commonly performed for utility distribution systems.  It is designed to be indefinitely expandable so that it can be easily modified to meet future needs in the areas of studies like; •Distribution Planning and Analysis •General Multi-phase AC Circuit Analysis •Analysis of Distributed Generation Interconnections

  • 62. CONCLUSIONS  The electric distribution system has been designed with traditionally central generation.  Historically, this design is a one-way power flow and has proven to be safe, reliable, and least cost.  However, the paradigm is quickly changing due to price increases of traditional generations and value shifts with awareness of climate change.
  • 63.  The methodologies used DS Load Flow analysis as primary tool for most of the simulations.  The proposed methods are simulated off-line and utilized efficient solution algorithm for use in the distribution system environment with renewable energy’s integration.
  • 64.  Verifications of its applicability and robustness were tested using different sizes of DS standard test systems.  Simulations of different case scenarios using real distribution system show that the proposed methodologies and approach have promising applications to the current distribution system needs.
  • 65. RECOMMENDATIONS The real implementations of this study have gone through some difficult part not on the simulations and analysis of the results but primarily on the collection of accurate and actual data. Based from these experiences the following recommendations to facilitate ease of implementations and future research in this field are:
  • 66. • Create a set of benchmark model data- base of the distribution system to facilitate actual valid data testing and simulations. Upgraded and validated data base an important component of offline simulations
  • 67. • Since the simulations was been tested in a single feeder for its applicability, robustness and effectiveness, it is recommended to validate the results with the actual data prior to the full implementations of the whole distribution system.
  • 68. • Develop automated screening tools and the associated software that will enable evaluation of the impact RE on the distribution system. This would help preserve low installation costs while allowing for the more detailed assessment that would be necessary at higher penetration levels of distributed DG’s.
