Abstract: | Photovoltaics (PV) market is the fastest growing electrical energy generation industry. Well integrated distributed photovoltaics (PVs) will help tomorrow's energy system become more sustainable. This paper provides a comprehensive review on previous distributed generation (DG) PV impact studies on Low Voltage (LV) networks. The aim is to conduct the first-ever study on the Maltese islands on a real Low Voltage (LV) network for the Island of Gozo in Malta, considering real load and PV profiles in 15-minute resolution. The methodology uses a Monte-Carlo approach for statistical evaluation of two possible PV penetration that is close to and further away from substation. Voltage impacts are analyzed using European Standard EN50160 for voltage magnitude +/- 10% and overloading capabilities are assessed through utilization factor. This study is conducted within MCAST Energy Research Group supported by Enemalta PLC through transfer of knowledge from WISE-PV project. |
