Abstract

In the past fifteen years, power plants utilizing renewable energy sources have played a dominant role within the power sector of European countries. Technical challenges, such as voltage profiles, line capacities, and transformer loadings, impose strong limitations on the maximum installed capacity of renewables in power systems. To address this issue, various novel approaches can be considered to increase the hosting capacity of distribution networks for renewables. This paper introduces a methodology for calculating the impact of demand flexibility on the hosting capacity of distribution networks for photovoltaic (PV) dispersed generation. Specifically, a decomposition of the load flow on each branch of the network is performed to determine the impact of load flexibility on branch loading and bus voltage magnitude. The algorithm's advantage lies in its ability to enhance the distribution network's PV hosting capacity without the need for investments in network element reinforcement.
