secondary distribution networks (LV networks – typically
below 500V) often employ Diversity Factors and rely
heavily on a wealth of experience with similar networks
and similar loads. The introduction of photovoltaic (PV)
systems and micro co-generation (domestic combined
heat and power: DCHP) will inevitably alter power flows
in these networks, but since, at present, these distributed
generators are few and far between, there is little data or
experience on which to predict any effects they may have
when widely installed. This paper describes on-going
development of thorough and detailed modelling
techniques, applicable to secondary distribution networks,
using 1-minute time-series data and accurate unbalanced
power-flow analysis (load-flow). These modelling
techniques will provide a sound basis for the
consideration of micro distributed generators.
