Real and reactive power control of distributed PV inverters for overvoltage prevention and increased renewable generation hosting capacity

Renewable Energy, 2015, vol. 81, issue C, 464-471

Abstract: Australia has seen a strong uptake of residential PV systems over the last five years, with small scale distributed generation systems now accounting for around 10% of peak capacity within the Australian National Electricity Market. As uptake further increases, there is concern about the ability of distribution networks to maintain reliability and power quality without requiring substantial additional infrastructure investment, and in some locations PV installations are no longer being allowed.
