dc.description.abstract South Africa has seen an increase in the integration of renewable resources in the distribution network for improved reliability, clean energy footprint and energy costs. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)’s main campus in Pretoria has embarked on the introduction of distributed generation (DG) from solar in its electricity distribution network, and plans to add wind and biogas systems. The integration of large numbers of DG in an electrical grid poses various technical challenges for system operators and distribution utilities as they affect grid operating conditions. This paper investigates impacts of photovoltaic (PV) integration to an existing CSIR distribution network. DIgSILENT PowerFactory simulation software tool is used to model and simulate the existing network. The simulation results of the network performance before and after the integration of PV plants are compared. en_US
