Abstract
In this paper, we perform an analysis of the Photovoltaic penetrations on Low Voltage Power Distribution Networks. A case study of the East Legon Power Distribution Services M05/52 LV Network. The impacts of high photovoltaic penetration on voltage level and power factors are explored. We fixed power quality analyzers at the distribution substation and at the customers’ nodes; to capture the feeder loads and the voltage profiles. Simulations are done at varying photovoltaic penetrations levels to determine the strike of increasing photovoltaic incursion on the low voltage power network. We present results to show that, the optimum penetration level is achieved at the point where minimum loss reduction is recorded, reverse flow not present and power factor limit is not violated.
