The impact of extreme weather condition on the voltage regulation in distribution systems with high penetration of roof-top photovoltaic

With the rapid growing penetration of solar power, extreme weather conditions may cause disturbance to power grids. Previous works have studied the impact of extreme weather conditions on active power balance at transmission level, while few studies investigated the potential voltage issue in distri...

description With the rapid growing penetration of solar power, extreme weather conditions may cause disturbance to power grids. Previous works have studied the impact of extreme weather conditions on active power balance at transmission level, while few studies investigated the potential voltage issue in distribution systems.

We first explicitly modelled the solar power output during extreme weather conditions, and demonstrated the voltage issue in IEEE 33-bus system.

With the optimal and efficient allocation plan generated by the proposed model, the distribution systems, with high penetration of solar power, are expected to remain stable and robust to extreme weather conditions.
