TLDR
Results indicate that the voltage quality is within the acceptable limits, and the feeder currents show load unbalance in single-family homes and high utilisation rate of feeders supplying multiple customers.Abstract:
With an increasing share of renewable energy generation becoming connected to distribution grids, power quality has attracted the attention of grid operators and academia. However, to obtain a realistic picture, power quality distortions caused by renewables should be superimposed on already existing emissions in grids. Measured household load data is tedious to acquire and is not publicly available. This paper presents the data from a low-voltage feeder measurement campaign and it is divided into voltage and feeder current analyses. The voltage parameters are validated as per EN 50160. The measured data includes measurements from feeders supplying single-family homes as well as one apartment building. A total of 24 weeks of 10-second mean values were recorded in the Helsinki region of Finland. Results indicate that the voltage quality is within the acceptable limits. The feeder currents show load unbalance in single-family homes and high utilisation rate of feeders supplying multiple customers.read more

Convex Model for Estimation of Single-Phase Photovoltaic Impact on Existing Voltage Unbalance in Distribution Networks
Verner Püvi,Matti Lehtonen +1 more
TL;DR: A Monte Carlo simulation augmented with convex mixed-integer quadratic programming to estimate voltage unbalance and maximum photovoltaic penetration revealed substantial unbalance attenuation with optimal phase selection and increased potential of local generation hosting capacity in case of higher background unbalance.

Assessment of Prevailing Harmonic Current Emission in Public Low-Voltage Networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology to characterize the harmonic current emission of a public lowvoltage (LV) network by a prevailing phasor is described and applied, and a simplified method for an approximate estimation of the impact of a particular LV network or a new equipment technology (e.g., electric-vehicle charging) on the harmonic levels in a public distribution network is proposed.
