Simulation of photovoltaic systems and microgrids in distribution networks

This paper discusses the connection of photovoltaic system, including microgrids formation, in power distribution networks. The proposed model integrates the descriptive elements of a photovoltaic system: solar radiation, typical load behaviors (residential, commercial and industrial). Based on the developed methodology, a computer implementation of the modules for simulation and impact analysis of photovoltaic generation penetration has been carried out. In order to evaluate the methodology case study simulations have been performed.
