Abstract
The increasing number of grid-connected solar PV plants today has brought great benefits to the power system. However, it has also created several technical issues that need to be addressed by planning engineers. Due to this reason, the optimization for interconnection of solar PV plants has attracted their attentions, in order to operate these plants safely and economically. In this paper, three key parameters which are the location, size and operating power factor of the solar PV plant are optimized. The proposed method considers the technical constraints of the network such as voltage limits, together with the intermittency of PV generation and system loads. Two case studies are simulated on a typical 11kV distribution system with 54 buses. Results show a reduction in system energy losses for the optimized values, without violating any power system requirements.
