Abstract

This paper presents the problem of the power penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in urban networks. After a qualitative problem description, two different environments for the PV systems have been analyzed: rural and urban networks. Concerning the rural network a single line has been simulated in order to evaluate the relation between the number of PV system installed along the line and the maximum PV power installable. In the second part of the paper the possible problems due to the power penetration have been examined concerning a clustered PV system that will be installed in the city of Torino (Italy) in ambit of an EU project.
