Abstract
AbstractThe growth of photovoltaic (PV) systems on low-voltage distribution networks can create technical issues such as voltage rise, voltage unbalance, unnecessary neutral current circulation, and reverse power flow. Usually, these happen with little fluctuation. However, they tend to fluctuate seriously because of the low clear sky index in Malaysia and they become more severe when the installation and distribution of single-phase renewable energy sources are rather arbitrary and not monitored by utility companies. To ensure effective operation of distribution networks with PV systems, an improved version of a three-phase fuzzy control algorithm for distributed energy storage (ES) systems is proposed. With this algorithm, distributed energy storage systems can control individual phase voltage to mitigate the voltage unbalance factor effectively, maintaining voltage magnitude without cutting any excess renewable energy. An experimental low-voltage distribution network with two 3.6-kWp PV systems was set...
