Dynamic power flow tool development for low voltage networks analysis with high penetration level of distributed generation

Abstract

This article presents the development of a power flow tool to analyse the impact of the integration of distributed generation on low voltage distribution networks. The work has been implemented in MATLAB-SIMULINK environment. The developed tool can be used in radial or weakly meshed 3-phase networks with the presence of distributed generation. The voltage and power magnitudes of selected nodes can vary over time allowing a dynamic power flow analysis.
