electricity grid for 82 communi5es (up to 110 kV) • about 240.000 metering points -‐ 3 -‐ Framework for connecting distributed generation • the objectives of the European Union are – to increase the energy efficiency – to increase the supply from renewable energy sources • from an economic point of view of the customer, a feed-in – of 100% power – in 100% of the time (any time) is required • feeding into the low voltage network represents for the distribution system operator (DSO) a major challenge • according DACHCZ assessment rules, all feeders should not raise the voltage more than 3% in a LV-network – network, consumers and feeders share the available voltage range of +/- 10% Un (EN 50160: 100% of 10-min mean values have to be within +10%) • if specified voltage limits according to TOR D4 and DACHCZ are reached or exceeded and to enable feeding into the low-voltage network and to guarantee the voltage quality, it is necessary – to invest into low-voltage networks – to limit the installed feed-in -‐ 4 -‐ Framework for connecting distributed generation different optima: supplier ßà DSO supplier • full feed-in at any time • maximum energy production and thus to optimize the profit • small or no grid connection costs distribution system operator (DSO) • efficient distribution network • network costs as low as possible to increase the total energy feeding • to find a macroeconomic optimum supplier ßà DSO • compromise between network investment and the volume supplied by the individual PV-generation -‐ 5 -‐ Planning approaches • conventional planning approach – in the conventional planning, it is assumed that the maximum power is fed at the worst operating condition in the distribution network – calculation with the maximum possible output voltage at the MW/LV transformer (107%) • 3% voltage lift is reserved for suppliers – calculation of the voltage lift according to the formulas of DACHCZ and TOR D4 – only then is it possible to guarantee the 100% feed-in at any time – networks with high integration of distributed generation, come quickly to the limits of the permissible voltage raise – in fact, show current network conditions that critical voltage level rarely occur • a higher integration of decentralized feeders would be possible • currently assessment according to TOR or DACHCZ not taking into account existing network resources from the entire system -‐ 6 -‐ Use of real voltage band Minimale und Maximale Spannungen je Trafostation Minimum and maximum voltages of (Mit Einspeisung MS-Netz) transformers (incl. feed-‐in in MV) 10,00%

depending on the transformer ratio in many local networks, there are therefore theoretically larger voltage reserves as 3% for the feed-in -‐ 7 -‐ Planning approaches • probabilistic planning approach – this planning approach takes into account the static behavior of the parameters • voltage fluctuation at the MV/LV transformer • feed-in power – the aim of the planning approach is, to increase the installable feed-in power and to increase the amount of energy supplied • at low network costs and • low amount of not feed-in energy – the goal is only achievable if it is possible for the DSO to control or cut off the feed-in power for rare and short periods of time when needed implementation of a probabilistic reduction factor “F” d ΔSa SkV Ψ φ F rela've voltage change feed in power [kVA],

If we now assume that such control interventions take a very short time (compensation of voltage spikes when devices are powered on) and takes into account the control curve to estimate the power reduction, the result is a yield loss of 0.176% at 15.83 h control intervention time. not feed-in energy amount is very low in the range between 0.18% - 1.31% -‐ 19 -‐ Results field test area Voltage liI, voltage band winnings voltage liI and voltage band winnings at Prendt 2 Voltage liI Voltage band winnings conven)onal (calculated) -‐ 20 -‐ Conclusions • • • • • probabilistic planning approach represents a very effective method for improved evaluation of network capacity for decentralized PV feed-in while conventional assessment always assumes worst-case assumptions, the presented probabilistic planning approach takes into account the static behavior of the voltage on the MV/LV transformer and the feed-in power it is shown that the worst-case assumptions only occur with low probability if it is possible for the distribution system operator (DSO) to cutt-off or control the feed-in power (P(U)-control) of one or more feeder as needed for rare short periods of time when the upper voltage limit is reached, an increase of installed PV feed-in is possible both the results of the probabilistic planning approach and the results of the field tests show that a doubling of installed photovoltaic capacity in existing low voltage networks is possible with a small amount of not feed-in energy -‐ 21 -‐ Thank you for your attention!
