Abstract

Connection of utility-interactive PV generators at the distribution level, namely PV distributed generation (PVDG), could bring many benefits to the distribution network. However, deployment of PVDG systems, in any country, requires actual data on the performance of these systems under actual weather conditions. Additionally, it needs compliance with the electrical structure and regulations of the power distribution network in that country. Hence, applying PVDG technology in the UAE brings forth many considerations and this work aims at tackling potential technical ones. Among these is the role of daily load curve and PV production curve in determining feasible locations and capacities of PVDG systems. The analyses are based on existing case study feeders at the 11 kV level of Abu Dhabi distribution network. Accordingly, the work results in suitable recommendations on feasible locations of PVDG systems. Also it defines rational objectives and constraints for optimal sizing and location of such systems.
