Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are expected to play an important part in future distribution networks. This paper analyses its impacts on the electricity demand profile through different scenarios of residential BESS uptake within the network serviced by a 33 kV/11 kV distribution substation in the state of Queensland, Australia. Two scenarios are considered: residential customers with rooftop...
Recently penetration of Photovoltaic (PV) systems in Low Voltage (LV) distribution networks has drastically increased. The stochastic nature of PV output coupled with the characteristic of high R/X ratio of LV distribution network results in a direct correlation between PV power and voltage fluctuations. Currently distribution networks rely heavily on existing On Load Tap Changing (OLTC) transformers...
The increased implementation of renewable energy sources, especially in island micro-grids, can have a significant effect on the quality of the power within that network. Heron Island, located off the coast of Queensland, Australia, has historically been powered by diesel generators. Recently however, Photovoltaic (PV) arrays have been added to the island to reduce the reliance on fossil fuel. This...
More three-phase photovoltaic (PV) systems have been directly integrated to the electrical network at the distribution voltage level each year. Most of them are designed with balanced assumptions. In reality, under normal operating conditions distribution networks always have a certain degree of voltage imbalance, and these three-phase PV systems have already been implemented in such networks. However,...
Photovoltaic (PV) power in distribution systems is increasing rapidly due to government incentives and public's expectation on environment. This raises utilities' concern on voltage rise and voltage fluctuation in distribution networks when PV power fluctuates with fast changing weather conditions. In the literature, many studies have been conducted on these issues based on balanced systems with transposed...
