This project included running a distribution analysis to evaluate the capacity of each of this Utility’s 40 feeders to accommodate solar generation without adversely impacting the feeder or feeder upgrades. SEnergy’s scope of work included meeting with the Client, performing distribution WindMil Analysis which evaluated the kW demand trend for each feeder in peak and off-peak demand using feeder interval data for each feeder, modeling distributed PV generation along each distribution feeder using the Client-provided system model, identifying locations and model distribution PV generation at the end of the longest three-phase distribution line of each feeder, and running voltage drop analysis on each feeder to evaluate the distribution system with generation and determine the holding capacity for each feeder, running a substation analysis to determine and report if the combined distribution PV hosting capacity of each feeder exceeded the demand on each substation power transformer; and providing a written report that provided the PV hosting capacity for each distributed solar installation and end of line installation at each feeder.
