15 Smart grid: Impact on distribution grids A B Inversion of current flow Changed feedback to network Changed short-circuit power IEA PVPS Task 14 Utility Workshop Seite 15 VSGS, M. Bachmann, March 31, 2014

16 A Inversion of current flow Voltage stability: Voltage increase at feeding point Safety at work: Single-edge shutoff not sufficient Protection: Automatic shutoff in case of network faults Measurement: Bi-directional current flow and reactive power Automatic control: To be extended / adapted at customer side underfrequency load shedding (UFLS) decentralized generation controllable First applies to NE 7, later NE 6 and NE 5 as well IEA PVPS Task 14 Utility Workshop Seite 16 VSGS, M. Bachmann, March 31, 2014

17 B Power increase Maximal generation larger than maximal load Dimensioning of lines and units not sufficient Depends on local network structure Depends on amount of decentralized generation Typically more complexe in rural than in urban areas Increased complexity of planning and dimensioning of network IEA PVPS Task 14 Utility Workshop Seite 17 VSGS, M. Bachmann, March 31, 2014

18 Percentage of nodes Percentage of line length Example network Current load Voltage deviation IEA PVPS Task 14 Utility Workshop Seite 18 VSGS, M. Bachmann, March 31, 2014

19 Impact: Summary Single generation units result in regionally limited impact Regionally limited impact can be handled with regionally limited measures Increasing number of generation units multiple impacts At which point of injected power local measures will not bring the optimal solution anymore? no clear threshold identified depending on the (local) networkt structure IEA PVPS Task 14 Utility Workshop Seite 19 VSGS, M.
