摘要：The increase of Photovoltaics (PV) units’ penetration factor in the power grids might create overvoltage over the network buses. The active power curtailment (APC) and the reactive power provision methods use inverters to regulate their output active and reactive powers for high PV-penetrated grids. However, the mentioned solutions would reduce the maximum injectable active solar power to the grid, not financially acceptable. Continuous employment of the maximum apparent power capacity of the inverters will practically decrease the inverters’ lifetime, require special design considerations, and make the control system complex. To overcome those issues, a feasible solution would be increasing the load consumption within the time intervals in which the grid faces the over-voltage problem. In this research, the demand response (DR) program is employed. Load shifting techniques are exerted to move a portion of loads from the peak hours to when further power consumption is expected for voltage level reduction purposes. A new long-term strategy based on the coordinated operation of the PV inverters and load shifting techniques is proposed to resolve the over-voltage issue in the network. Consequently, the PV inverter’s contribution to voltage control is reduced; a new sight of DR potential is implemented, and also the under-voltage level in peak times is decreased significantly.
