Abstract

Nowadays, there is a growing spread of the unconventional power producers from renewable energy sources: wind, photovoltaics, micro-hydro, biomass, etc. Renewable power producers (RPP) can cause a sharp increase in technical power losses (TPL). This is a major challenge for electricity distribution operators (EDO). Effective tools and measures are needed to solve this situation. The paper deals with the problem of RPP (photovoltaics and wind) in the Braila zone medium voltage (m.v.) electrical distribution network (EDN), managed by Electrica Muntenia Nord (EMN) EDO. The analysis of the influence of each RPP on the TPL value is the main contribution of this paper. Generated power limits have been recommended for each RPP, in various scenarios. The results are of great use for the EMN EDO and also for other EDO.
