Abstract
- Due to decarbonisation and decentralisation of energy sectors, the rise of distributed generation (DG) will modify generation and demand patterns at grid supply points (GSPs), where the interface between distribution and transmission systems takes place. With the increasing penetration of such devices, methodologies able to evaluate its contribution to both local distribution network and transmission system become crucial. This article proposes an analytical method to evaluate the DG locational incremental contribution (LIC) to the interface with the transmission grid. Accordingly, the original model of the U.K. engineering recommendation P2 is enhanced by studying the impacts from high-voltage distribution networks (i.e., ≤ 132 kV) under normal and contingent conditions. This approach enables a more accurate network security assessment, especially when considering contingencies such as distribution system faults. To illustrate the proposed method, the original P2 model is compared against different enhanced approaches on three basic distribution networks, followed by a case study and a sensitivity analysis on a revised IEEE 14-bus GSP system. The proposed LIC method produces results that assess a wider range of conditions including DG penetration, concentration, and system reliability. Furthermore, it provides an increased DG visibility for transmission planning and operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
