I. Introduction
Utility planning engineers at various locations throughout the world are experiencing an unprecedented number of photovoltaic (PV) interconnection requests [1]. Every interconnection request is unique, as every feeder and PV system location is different. Since there is not enough time for the planning engineer to perform a detailed analysis of each proposed interconnection, simplified screens have been developed to assess the implications [2], [3]. These screens, however, typically take the feeder model out of the analysis process, which can severely limit the screens' effectiveness. The planning engineer needs an analysis tool that is efficient yet effective.
