A novel approach for improving voltage profile in low voltage networks with high solar panel penetration level by using flexible loads

Nowadays, with the expansion of the use of renewable energy sources, there are many opportunities and challenges for researchers. One of these resources is PVs that have many advantages however the proper control is always a challenging issue in the power system. This article suggests the use of flexible loads in order to enable the consumers for injection of their extra power that leads to AC power quality's violation. The extra power may be effortlessly directed to flexible loads due to keeping an equivalency of generated power and loads. The suggested method in this paper is analyzed and compared with the common method of using energy storages, economically and technically. The proposed solution is simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink and economic analysis is performed by Homer software. The proposed method will be a leading solution for the future of power systems in existence of renewable energy sources.
