Reverse power flow in a low-voltage (LV) network can cause instability, such as in the line sections and distribution transformers [19, 20]. The overloading of the distribution transformer is one consequence of a low-load, high-PV penetration network; higher voltages are also seen at low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) levels. [21, 22].
In related findings, protective mechanisms in distribution systems may have issues if the power flow is reversed. In , the authors used an IEEE 13-nodes test feeder to demonstrate how the sensitivity of the protection coordination is affected by RPF.
Similarly, in high PV penetration networks, the development of reverse power flow (RPF), which can cause transformer overload, has been reported to increase network load, overvoltage, and losses [14, 15, 16]. The reverse power flow phenomenon occurs when the PV power generation in a grid-connected network exceeds the local load demand .
Additionally, reverse power flow may violate voltage and line capacity margins as a result of excessive PV deployments in LV networks. This could be avoided by establishing pre-defined transformer backflow limits, above which surplus photovoltaic energy is exported back to energy storage devices .
A simulation model of a real urban electricity company in Ghana is investigated against various PV penetration levels by load flows with ETAP software. The impact of reverse power flow on the radial network transformer loadings is examined for high PV penetrations. Using the least squares method, simulation results are modelled in Excel software.
The simulation studies’ results provide useful information not only on the impact of RPF on distribution transformer loadings but also on the depth of penetration in a solar PV-integrated LV network. The study determines a set of safe margins to safeguard the flow of reverse power into the substation transformer.
