Abstract
Abstract Meeting the load growth and limiting the pollution level of fossil fuel based power generation are global challenges. One solution is to integrate clean and renewable energy sources to the power system. However high penetration of renewable energy sources can affect transmission line thermal limits and harmonics injection in the system. This paper illustrates the optimal location of Photovoltaic (PV) plant penetration in power system. The objective is to minimize real power system losses. This analysis is subjected to transient stability as well as individual and total harmonic distortion level constraints. IEEE 30 bus system is considered for such investigation by using Electrical Transient and Analysis Program (ETAP 19.5). Multi case capability of ETAP was the base of the analysis. The contribution of this paper is the consideration of the accumulated impact of transmission losses, transient stability, transmission line thermal limits, harmonic level and steady state voltage limits. The results of the investigation for this system within the applied constraints have brought the penetration level (PL) to 50%. This result is satisfactory and encouraging.
