Abstract
This paper presents a technical evaluation of two different methods to avoid the excessive deviations caused by dispersed generation in distribution grids. Two regulation methods, wide area control of HV/MV transformer and inverters' reactive power support, are simulated in several real rural grids with different topologies located in Northern Germany. In all these analysed grids the high penetration of dispersed generation produces big power flow reversals during low load periods. The objective of implementing both regulation methods is to reduce deviations in such an extent that band violations no longer act as the principal obstacle to host more dispersed generation in the distribution grid. We evaluate the effectiveness of these two methods through a power system analysis program and analyse the reciprocal effects caused by simultaneous use of both methods. Moreover, the concept of voltage inhomogeneity is introduced.
