3. Local voltage control in a low voltage grid with high photovoltaic penetration
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknikAbstract : This thesis examines how active power control (Volt-Watt control) and reactive power compensation (Volt-VAr control) can help limit voltage increases on the low voltage grid due to high photovoltaic (PV), installations. Due to the large increase in interest to install small scale PV-systems within residential areas the Distribution System Operator E. READ MORE
