Smart inverter impacts on california distribution feeders with increasing pv penetration: A case study
Open accessAbstract
The impacts of high PV penetration on distribution feeders have been well documented within the last decade. To mitigate these impacts, interconnection standards have been amended to allow PV inverters to regulate voltage locally. However, there is a deficiency of literature discussing how these inverters will behave on real feeders under increasing PV penetration. In this paper, we simulate several deployment scenarios of these inverters on a real California distribution feeder. We show that minimum and maximum voltage, tap operations, and voltage variability are improved due to the inverters. Line losses were shown to increase at high PV penetrations as a side effect. Furthermore, we find inverter sizing was shown to be important as PV penetration increased. Finally we show that increasing the number of inverters and removing the deadband from the Volt/VAr control curve improves the effectiveness.

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.
