Operational impact of the complementarity between photovoltaic solar and biogas generation sources on distribution network systems

Considering the amended Normative Resolution No. 482/2012 (NR 482/2012) of the Brazilian National Agency of Electric Energy (ANEEL), which regulates the connection and the compensation of power systems in distributed generation (DG) through the NR 687/2015 expected for March 2016, it can be observed an incentive to the complementarity between the sources of DG and the integration of available resources. The aim of this study is to develop generation profiles of a photovoltaic solar system, producing a generic curve of hourly generation over a day. Moreover, the complementarity will be carried out by overlapping the curves to integrate the ones from the photovoltaic systems with those from the biogas manure generation systems. The operational impact on the distribution network due to the insertion of these DG sources will be analysed. The aspects considered are voltage level, active and reactive power loading, conductors loading and electrical losses.
