Overview of increasing the penetration of renewable energy sources in the distribution grid by developing control strategies and using ancillary services

摘要

Increasing the renewables energy resources in the distribution network is one of the main challenges of the distributed system operator due to instability, power quality and feeder capacity problems. This paper proposes a solution for further penetration of distributed energy resources, by developing control strategies and using ancillary services. Besides the penetration issues, the control strategies will mitigate power quality problems, voltage unbalance and will increase the immunity of the grid by provision of fault ride through capabilities.
