Abstract

A deep analyses on real data of five low voltage(LV) networks has been carried out in order to understand the trends of V, I, P, Q and calculated power factor. It has been simulated balanced/unbalanced LV networks in different operating scenarios using the OpenDSS software. A study on reactive power compensation has been developed in order to mitigate the strong unbalance of a LV network, also at the same network, to assess the embedded generation impact, an hosting capacity study was consided
