Simulation of MV distribution networks with asynchronous local generation sources

Operation problems that result from MV distribution networks with local asynchronous generation sources connected are examined. In order to analyze steady-state operating situations, a load-flow calculation must be performed. The presence of asynchronous generators imposes the adoption of a consistent bus modelization using a new bus type, the PX bus, where P is the active generated power and X is a nonlinear magnetizing reactance. This approach introduces some modifications in the conventional load-flow algorithms, thereby increasing the total number of iterations.<
