Conservative estimation of overvoltage-based PV hosting capacity

The primary objective of this work is to develop and demonstrate a steady-state stochastic simulation method to estimate the PV hosting capacity of a given distribution, based on the ANSI voltage regulation standard. The work discusses the key factors that determine the voltage rise due to distribut...

Description
Summary:The primary objective of this work is to develop and demonstrate a steady-state stochastic simulation method to estimate the PV hosting capacity of a given distribution, based on the ANSI voltage regulation standard. The work discusses the key factors that determine the voltage rise due to distributed PV. Load demand analysis is done to determine statistically representative minimum daylight load demand for PV analysis. And lastly, the steady-state, stochastic simulation method is discussed and implemented to estimate the PV hosting capacity for small-scale and large-scale PV Deployments. === text
