  • Abstract
    Solar photovoltaic distributed generation (PV-DG) systems are one of the fastest-growing types of renewable energy sources being integrated worldwide onto distribution systems. Many North American utilities, governed by state or provincial incentives and/or mandated by green-generation portfolio requirements, are facing installations of large PV plants with capacities in the order of several megavoltamperes (MVAs) that are owned either by the utility or by private power producers.
