Abstract
With the rapidly increasing penetration of renewable distributed generation (DG), the maximum hosting capacity (MHC) of a distribution system has become a major concern. To effectively evaluate the ability of a distribution system to accommodate DGs, this paper proposes an MHC evaluation method while considering the robust optimal operation of on load tap changers (OLTCs) and static var compensators (SVCs) in the uncertain context of DG power outputs and load consumptions. The proposed method determines the DG hosting capacities corresponding to different conservative levels. Furthermore, this paper discusses how to find out the most critical technical constraint that may limit the MHC by adjusting parameters of the proposed robust formulation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using a modified IEEE 33-bus distribution system.Keywords
