In recent years, the introduction of the photovoltaic generation system (PV system) has been increasing by promoting the use of renewable energy. It has been feared that the reverse current from the PV system may cause an unacceptable level of voltage rise at the interconnection node in the power distribution system. This paper discusses the effects of the reverse current on the voltage rise and fall characteristics of the interconnection node and the voltage profiles along the power distribution line. When the line current on the circuit is small, the voltage on the line monotonically increases from the sending end to the receiving end. When a relatively large current flows, it causes a voltage reduction near the distribution substation. Furthermore, on the basis of the voltage aspects in the power distribution system with a large PV system, the allowable limits of the line current and the output power from PV system are investigated.

In the distribution of electrical energy from the plant to the consumer, there is a decrease in quality due to the loss of power (losses). These power losses are caused by a voltage drop across the line and subsequently producing a power loss on the line. This power loss can be classified into two types based on its line parameters, i.e., active power loss and reactive power loss. The line’s active power loss generates losses of power/losses so that the active power reaches the load on the receiving end is always less than the productive power of the sender side. Power losses in the electrical system must exist and cannot be reduced to 0% (zero percent). According to SPLN No. 72 of 1987, the permitted distribution network’s power loss should not be higher than 10%. This paper investigates the magnitude of the voltage loss and the line active power losses on the 20 kV distribution line. The calculation conducted through case study and simulation of Etap 12.6 program on an electrical power distribution system that is 20 kV distribution line in PT. PLN (Persero) Rayon Muara Labuh. In the distribution line 20 kV, there is IPP (Independent Power Plant) PLTMH PT SKE used to improve the stress conditions in Rayon Muara Labuh. Therefore the loss of power will be calculated in 3 terms, i.e., before and after IPP PT. SKE with 20 kV distribution lines as well as on feeder load maintenance (as a repair action plan). The simulation results show the highest voltage drop and the highest power losses continue generated during IPP. PT SKE has not done synchronized with the distribution line of 20 kV with a significant voltage drop of 1,533 kV percentage of 7.93% and power loss of 777.528 kWh percentage of 7.69%.

Unlike low impedance faults, which involve relatively large magnitude of fault currents and are easily detected by conventional over-current protection devices, high impedance faults pose a serious challenge to protection engineers because they can remain on the system without the protective relays being able to detect them. This paper presents an improved method for detection and location of high impedance fault using ANFIS model. The study was conducted on the 33 kV Uyo-Ikot Ekpene power distribution line. The case study power distribution system was modeled using MATLAB software. HIFs were introduced at various locations along the distribution line. The data obtained from the MATLAB/Simulink simulated fault using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) were used to train the ANFIS for the location of HIF points along the distribution system as well as for prediction of the distance of the fault location to the nearest injection substation. The results show that ANFIS model gives 52.5 percentage reduction in error compared with FIS in the location of fault points on the case study power distribution system.

This paper presents a simulation of a grid-connected photovoltaic power system. A complex model of power distribution system is developed in MATLAB Simulink, then it will be simulated to determine an amount of power delivered to the grid based on irradiance and temperature. Solar irradiance data collection is conducted using a solar irradiance meter. These weather data (solar irradiances and temperatures) are transformed into signal inputs and model through a grid-tied Photovoltaic (PV) model system which consists of PV, incremental conductance Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method, DC-DC boost converter, inverter, voltage source converter (VSC) control algorithms, and grid equipment. The output variables can be related to current, voltage or power. However, tracing of the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics or power-voltage (P-V) characteristics are the vital need to grid-tied PV system operation. Changes in solar irradiance and temperature imply changes in output variables. Detailed modelling of the effect of irradiance and temperature, on the parameters of the PV module and the output parameters will be discussed. With the aid of this model, one can have a feasible idea about the solar energy generation potential at given locations. This comprehensive model is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software.

During the recent past, the interest towards adoption of Distributed Generation (DG) has increased dramatically among the electric power system utilities. It has been well established that installation of PV Generation at the load points in a distribution system is excellent advantages for both consumers and the utilities. The question arises whether the maximum beneficiary is the Utility or the consumer and who has to bear the cost. This research analyses the economics of the DG with PV Systems, taking a typical 400V distribution system. A detailed procedure adopted for performing the economic analysis is presented in this paper. Benefits considered includes Saving in the energy losses, Energy substitute by the PV system, Capacity release in the Feeders and the Transformer. The PV system is installed at the selected consumer load points, based on the size and location of the loads. Discounted Cash Flow technique is used to assess the economics of the system, by computing the Internal Rate of Return. The paper presents the advantages of using PV Generating systems in the Power Distribution System, quantifying economic benefits both for the Utilities and for the Customers with supporting data.
