Abstract
En 中文
Quasi-static time-series simulations (QSTS) of distribution feeders are a critical element of distributed solar PV integration studies. QSTS are typically carried out through computer simulation tools, such as OpenDSS. Since a typical feeder contains thousands of buses, for long investigation periods or at fine time scales such simulations are computationally costly. Simulation times are reduced in this paper through a reduction of the number of buses in the model. The feeder reduction algorithm considers p-phase distribution feeders with unbalanced loads and generation, unbalanced wire impedance, and mutual coupling, while preserving the spatial variation of load and generation. An extensive Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis was performed on a real feeder from a California utility. All bus voltage differences are found to be less than 1.13% with a root mean square error of 0.21%. Simulation time savings were up to 96% when only one bus is selected to remain in the model. Example applications of the proposed algorithm are interconnection studies of utility-scale photovoltaic system to the distribution grid, siting analyses of other distributed energy resources and dynamic behavior of devices in large systems, such as smart inverters on distribution grids.
