Impact of time varying load models on PV DG planning

A constant load and generation model is generally considered in planning studies that pertain to Distributed Generation (DG) integrated distribution systems. However, such considerations may result in misleading and inconsistent values for the voltage profile, loss reduction, payback period, deferral values, and other related calculations due to the variation of both renewable energy-based generation and load demand. This paper investigates the impact of time varying voltage dependent load models on the DG planning studies. The study is based on the comparative assessment of different impact indices, penetration level, active and reactive power intake, active and reactive power loss, and Mega Volt Ampere support offered by the installation of photovoltaic based DG for different time varying load models. The outcomes of the current research work reveal that the time varying load modeling approach has significant impact on the distribution systems.A constant load and generation model is generally considered in planning studies that pertain to Distributed Generation (DG) integrated distribution systems.
