INFLUENCE OF ADDITIONAL PHOTOVOLTAIC UNITS ON ENERGY SAVINGS IN THE PART OF THE MIDDLE-VOLTAGE NETWORK IN MARIBOR
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 31
With higher penetration of distributed generation units in the distribution network, it has become important to evaluate their influence on network operating conditions. The paper analyzes the influence of active and reactive power generation of additional photovoltaic (PV) units in the part of the middle-voltage network in Maribor. Based on assessment of buildings’ roof PV potential, the most suitable roofs for PV system installation and their influence on yearly energy savings have been determined. The results show the energy savings achieved, due to the power loss reduction, obtained by the additional PV unit installation. Furthermore, energy savings achieved through proper reactive power generation are evaluated as well.
