Some Consequences to Grid Operation Due to High Penetration of Distributed PV Systems
Abstract
Traditional forms of power generation could on their own be the sole supplier of power. This is not true of PV, which raises the question of what the limits are and how best to operate and modify the grid to maximize the limits. Here we analyze distributed PV since it is the most problematic and currently has the fastest growth. We study bounds on limits to distributed PV based on its generation profile compared with the grid demand profile. We use data collected over two years from two postal codes, one in New Jersey and one in California.
