Summary
This paper is a final report on a project to (1) explain how voltage regulation reduces voltage spread; (2) define the effects of unbalanced loading and voltage on system protection and distributed generation output ratings; (3) develop models for an actual distribution circuit, its voltage regulation equipment, and distributed generation; (4) validate the models by comparing power flow simulations and voltage profiles with actual measured circuit data; (5) determine the optimum generator operating conditions to provide the greatest improvement in released capacity, reduced energy losses, and voltage regulation, and (6) determine the maximum distributed generation penetration limits with synchronous generator real and reactive power injections.
