Evaluation of PV hosting capacity of distribuion grids considering a solar roof potential analysis — Comparison of different algorithms
Abstract
Increasing distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems can lead to overloading of grid assets and voltage violations at grid nodes, especially in distribution systems. This raises the necessity to consider the future growth of installed PV capacity for the mid- and long-term planning process of distribution system operators (DSOs). Considering solar roof potential analysis derived from an airborne light detection and ranging (LIDAR) mission, the evaluation of the hosting capacity of a given distribution grid can be improved. This paper compares different methods to allocate the future PV capacity based on such solar roof potential analysis at the distribution system level. Rule-Based methods are developed and compared with a probabilistic method, which is repeated several times as a Monte Carlo analysis, in order to define the allocation of PV power to grid nodes. The developed deterministic methods can provide DSOs with simple and reliable indication about the hosting capacity of PV and the need for grid reinforcement compared to other methods.

In the rule-based variation of the deterministic method, three different hosting capacity values for the distribution network are obtained and the actual grid HC is given as a range between these values.
“In the end, three different hosting capacity values for the distribution network are obtained, and the actual grid HC is given as a range between these values [11,63].”

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.
