•  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 ßà 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 ßà 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

• 
not all MV/LV transformers on the 400V-side are operated with U=107%
– 
– 
• 
depending on the voltage level in the MV network
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

In the power inverter recorded voltages (1 s values) show, that during the control actions the voltage values are
less than 109%.
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

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
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
