1 Integration of High Levels of PV in the German Power System IEA PVPS Task 14 Contact: Dr. Thomas Stetz Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy Systems Technology IWES Phone: /

2 Outline Current Statistics on PV in Germany PV Impact on Power System Operation Summary

3 Installed Capacity in GW German Electrical Generation Mix Data Source: German Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railway, "Monitoring Report 2013"

4 Annually installed PV Capacity in GWp Annually installed PV Capacity in Germany Data Source: (Status: 07/2014)

5 Rapid Transition from Uni- to Bi-Directional Distribution Grids Figures: German MV case study within IEA Task 14 (courtesy of Bayernwerk AG)

6 Local Voltage Support Today Connection to Medium Voltage Network: Minimum power factor: 0.95 leading and lagging Reactive power provision methods: Fixed power factor Power factor depending on actual feed-in (cosφ(p)) Volt/Var control Online Set-Values Connection to Low Voltage Networks (AR 4105): Minimum power factor: 0.95 (S max <=13.8 kva) or 0.9 (S max > 13.8 kva) PV systems with S max >3.68 kva Q-Characteristic defined by DSO (cosφ(p) is standard) Future Volt/Var control seems to be a favorable approach for DSOs (high efficiency) Stability issues related to Volt/Var control are currently addressed by various research activities Extension to Volt/Watt control is currently under discussion

7 Significant Cost-Savings Potential through Application of Advanced Inverter Functions Cost Reduction Potential Further reading: T. Stetz, Autonomous Voltage Control Strategies in Distribution Grids with Photovoltaic Systems

8 PV Not the only Intermittent Source of Electricity Decreasing Full-Load Hours of Base-Load Generation Increasing demand for Peak-Load Generation (high Ramp Rates) Data Source and Figure: Fraunhofer ISE, Energy-Charts,

9 PV and its Effects on Transmission System Operation Feed-In of PV at 50Hertz Control Area (2013) Maximum PV Feed-In MW Energinet.dk Minimum PV Feed-In 0 MW Biggest Power Increase within ¼ hour MW TenneT TenneT Biggest Power Decrease within ¼ hour -752 MW Amprion Biggest difference between Min and Max Load within one Day MW Necessity of RES Curtailment due to Security Reasons: 6 Days in Days in 2013 Transnet BW Data and Figure: Courtesy of 50Hertz Transmission GmbH

10 Operational Challenges due to Forecast Inaccuracy PV forecasts for Germany, April Dramatic forecast errors of up to 8800 MW in the day-ahead forecast - Intraday forecasts clearly better in comparison, closer match with actual feed-in - Control and reserve power exhausted in Germany and German grid could no longer being balanced independently / Apr/ 4/ Apr/ 5/ Apr/ 6/ Apr/ Source: 50Hertz Transmission GmbH Day-ahead outlook Final intraday outlook Real-time estimate

11 Solar Eclipse March 2015 Opacity can reach up to 80% on continental Europe Resulting power gradient for Europe up to 18 GW/h Outlook for future power system operation Data Source: 50Hertz Transmission GmbH Figure:

12 Summary: PV System Technology offers a wide Range of Potential Technical Services for the Grid
