Developing New Screening Methods CPUC/EPRI/DOE Project Objective Develop improved screen that streamlines process without over/underestimating PV impacts Approach Characterize 8000+ feeders in California for Clustering analysis to select 15 feeders Perform detailed hosting capacity assessments to determine range of impacts and issues Develop improved screens Modeling and field validation Project Team EPRI, Sandia, NREL, PG&E, SDG&E, SCE, ITRON Ongoing effort Results available 2014/2015 Detailed modeling Clustering Hosting capacity Improved Screening Methods 2

Key Factors that Determine Hosting Capacity Size of PV Location of PV Feeder characteristics Electrical proximity to other PV PV control (e.g, smart inverters) PV Large Scale PV Near Sub Large Scale PV @ End Line PV Headroom Voltage 105% 100% 95% Voltage Rise from PV Distance from Substation 3

Feeder Hosting Capacity: A Brief Primer PV Systems Baseline No PV PV Penetration 1 PV Penetration 2 PV Penetration 3 Beyond Process is repeated 100 s of times to capture many possible scenarios Increase Penetration Levels Until Violations Occur voltage protection power quality thermal 4

Maximum Feeder Voltages (pu) Hosting Capacity Illustration of Overvoltage Results Minimum Hosting Capacity Maximum Hosting Capacity Total PV: 1173 kw Voltage violation ANSI voltage limit 2500 cases shown Each point = highest primary voltage Increasing penetration (kw) No observable violations regardless of size/location Possible violations based upon size/location Observable violations occur regardless of size/location Total PV: 540 kw 5

Hosting Capacity Response Thresholds Category Criteria Basis Flag Overvoltage Feeder voltage 1.05 Vpu Voltage Voltage Deviation Deviation in voltage from no PV to full PV 3% at primary 5% at secondary ½ band at regulators Unbalance Phase voltage deviation from average 3% of phase voltage Loading Thermal Element loading 100% normal rating Protection Element Fault Current Sympathetic Breaker Tripping Breaker Reduction of Reach Deviation in fault current at each sectionalizing device Breaker zero sequence current due to an upstream fault Deviation in breaker fault current for feeder faults 10% increase 150A 10% decrease Breaker/Fuse Coordination Fault current increase at fuse relative to change in breaker fault current 100A increase Harmonics Individual Harmonics Harmonic magnitude 3% THDv Total harmonic voltage distortion 5% 6

Minimum Hosting Capacity (MW) Detailed Hosting Capacity Analysis Question: Can load be used to predict hosting capacity? 3.5 3 2.5 No correlation between hosting capacity and peak load 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 Peak Load (MW) Answer: Not without knowledge of other feeder characteristics 9

Characteristics Correlated to Minimum Hosting Capacity for Primary Overvoltage Greater dependency on Voltage - Class - Regulation - Headroom Resistance to PV Percent of load screens over/under estimate hosting capacity Feeder 525 404 296 631 683 440 10

Summary Alternative screening methods are needed Improved methods can be developed that efficiently and effectively screen new interconnection requests From the trends in hosting capacity results, new screening techniques can be developed Improved screening likely to be based upon Topological data Static data (voltage class/regulation approach, end of line length, total feeder length, etc.), and/or Feeder response Voltage and protection response Using commercial tools (CYME, SynerGEE, Milsoft, etc) Next steps 11
