Utility voltage correction implementing PV-distributed generation

Electric utilities are constantly planning to expand transmission and distribution networks. The fact of the huge capital investment required, distributed generation is viewed as a better strategy than the traditional expensive large projects development approach. Strategically sited PV-dispersed systems could help reduce the voltage violation problems. Moreover, statistics gained from different studies identified the problem of power quality as a site specific; consequently a site specific solution should be declared. These distributed PV-systems are functioning as voltage magnitude and/or phase support. Three single-phase PV-systems are located behind the point of voltage violation. A feeder line with PV-system is simulated with MATLAB to study different violation cases, to assess the ability of distributed renewable systems solving network problems.
