  1. Optimal Accommodation of DG Dr Gareth Harrison Dr Robin Wallace University of Edinburgh, UK

  2. Overview • Planning need • Planning tool outline • Example of operation • Update and future work • Adequacy/cost effectiveness of available tools

  3. Planning Need • Voltage rise major issue in rural areas • Mitigation techniques exist • Often expensive • One alternative is to avoid or limit the need for mitigation in the first place • Indicate where capacity is available • Must identify where capacity exists

  4. Planning Tool • Transmission level studies • Distribution level more onerous • Various methods applied (GAs, etc.) • DG placement for min loss/investment costs • Aim here to maximise DG capacity • Optimal power flow • Implemented with PSS/E and bespoke GUI

  5. ‘Reverse Load-ability’ • Standard PV generator models inadequate • Steady state model of DG as negative load • Use load shedding minimisation algorithm to add negative load • maximise power injections • Termed ‘reverse load-ability’

  6. Simple 11 kV Feeder 500 kW DG on feeder 180 kW DG on feeder Low demand profile

  7. Update • Original simplifications removed • fixed taps; lack of traditional generation • Transformer voltage control issue • need to mimic voltage • Applied to much larger system • Consistent and logical results

  8. Extensive Network

  9. Future Work • Project due to end in September 2003 • Other aspects • Economic analysis • Development of capacity expansion strategies • Beyond September 2003 • Adapt approach for fault level constraints

  10. Adequacy of Current Tools • Not aware of commercial software tool • Academic tools address some aspects of need • Recently developed tools address the need • Assessment computationally intensive • Need for re-evaluation with new connections • Move to stochastic standards/planning?

  11. Cost Effectiveness • Costs arise from • setup/integration, input/evaluation, computation and inaccuracy • Tool requirements • Easy to use, fast, accurate and can be integrated effectively • Some current tools likely to meet criteria

  12. Other UoE papers at CIRED • This work is part of a larger ongoing programme at the University of Edinburgh • Papers presented at CIRED • 4.44 - Intelligent generator control • 4.62 - Domestic CHP • 4.63 - Optimal accommodation of DG
