Abstract
Large-scale penetration of photovoltaic (PV) energy in a distribution network requires careful planning of its location on the distribution network since it evidently demands large space, flexible maintenance access and exposure to driving energy sources such as sunlight for PV plants. Besides that, the technical aspects of the design should consider possible constraints that may introduce inefficiency in the generation or simply unexpected loss in the distribution. This paper addresses the decentralisation requirement for large-scale deployment of PV power sources as it resists the intermittency of the PV output naturally. In this study, a Monte Carlo method was used to justify the validity of this implication. A modified Gaussian distribution function was used to model the random fluctuations of the PV source and was used in the Monte Carlo simulation. The result shows considerable boost in the average power level and suppression of the fluctuation rate while the interconnected sources are uncorrelated.
