Residential PV Hosting Capacity, Voltage Unbalance, and Power Rebalancing: An Australian Case Study
Abstract
Voltage rise issues due to residential photovoltaic (PV) systems are not only because of reverse power flows. Most PV systems are single-phase installations and, therefore, can increase unbalance. This, in turn, can exacerbate voltage rise issues on certain phases. However, the extent to which unbalance affects the PV hosting capacity of low voltage (LV) distribution networks has not been adequately investigated. This paper studies the role of voltage unbalance in PV hosting capacity using both time-series analysis and Monte Carlo-based approach to account for the uncertainties of PV location and size. A rule-based power rebalancing algorithm that determines the phase connection of customers is proposed. Using a realistic Australian LV feeder with 29 single-phase customers, results show that large unbalance scenarios can significantly limit PV hosting capacity. With rebalancing, however, it is possible to accommodate significantly more PV installations without resorting to techniques such as generation curtailment and network reinforcement.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
