The Influence of Power Load Distribution on Losses in the Line when Connecting Solar Panels

Abstract

The creation of integrated energy supply systems that use different energy sources by nature and energy potential requires the development of methods for their optimal application. Distributed generation based on photovoltaic systems is of interest to scientists and specialists, as it has a large impact on power losses in distribution networks and voltage deviation in consumers. An analytical determination of the global minimum of losses in the supply line with a combined-unevenly distributed load was carried out in this paper. The optimal power of an additional power source based on a photovoltaic system to reduce power losses in the supply line with such a load was determined. It is shown that the losses in the supply line when connecting an additional source of optimal power to the optimal point, depending on the type of load distribution, can decrease from 8 to 10 times.
