Title: Distributed PV Power Generation Forecasting for Distribution Management
Abstract: High penetration of distributed PV generation (DG-PV) assets has created a new energy management and control landscape in the power industry as it has substantially changed operating conditions in the distribution grid. In 2013, Green Power Labs (GPL) and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) developed an approach to integrate distributed PV generation forecasts with SDG&E’s existing distribution management system (DMS) to help account for this growth. The developed technology provides forecasts for the over 20,000 DG-PV assets currently in the SDG&E service area for near real-time forecast horizons at the “electrical resolution” level of service transformers . Enabling distribution management systems with high “electrical” resolution DG-PV forecasting achieves improvement in the performance of existing grid assets and a reduction in the limitations on distributed PV penetration.
