Abstract

In this paper, the impact of solar photovoltaic generators deep in a typical urban medium and low voltage distribution networks is examined. Using a concept of equivalent net loading, a novel yet simple method is proposed wherein an "effective" level of solar input, based on readily available sunshine data, can be estimated over the summer peak load period and incorporated into traditional planning procedures.
