Abstract
The steady state voltage rise caused by reverse power flows and intermittency in renewable power is the main limiting factor for integration of distributed generators in medium and low voltage distribution lines. With the advancement in smart inverter technologies, the Volt-Var control using the remaining capacity of the inverter can be used to provide effective voltage control in distribution systems. In this paper, the efficacy of Volt-Var control on two PV solar farms connected to a realistic feeder in Ontario, Canada, is demonstrated for increasing the hosting capacity up to the thermal limit of the feeder. Implementation of such smart inverter controls will greatly help in the integration of PV solar systems in power grids.
