Abstract

One of the main issues concerning large penetration of the renewable energy based generators on the distribution network is related to the voltage variations due to intermittent character of the solar irradiance and wind. The actual power quality standards provide only general information regarding the evaluation procedure of the voltage fluctuations and no directions regarding the sampling frequency of the data used. As a consequence, most of the studies neglect effect of the solar irradiance and wind speed in fast changing conditions on the utility grid. This work proposes a methodology to evaluate the voltage fluctuations into the low voltage distribution network caused by variable generation and reveals the influence of data resolution on the final results. A short review regarding the assessment of the voltage variations is presented in advance and an appropriate model of the power system is build, including the
generating units that are capable to operate with high resolution input data.
