Abstract

The rise in penetration levels of distributed generation (DG) poses some challenges to distribution networks. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the effect of high DG penetration levels on thermal limits of distribution lines, and voltage rise at the point of common coupling. The study system used was the 16-bus UK distribution test system. The results obtained indicate voltage rise as the dominant limiting factor for increasing the penetration level of DGs. Also, the maximum penetration limit of DGs was found to depend on its location and the load profile.

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.
