Distributed generation (DG) in distribution networks has potentially a strong influence on quality of operation especially in combination of low load consumption and high production. High voltage levels usually go hand in hand with reverse power flow, as energy from DG is pushed further up even into transmission network. Since the distribution networks are primarily designed to accept power from transmission network, that kind of operation is therefore rarely foreseen. Article deals with practical experience on active network voltage management due to impact of the Savica hydro power plant (HPP) in Bohinj region during stand-by supply.
Paper describes the first experiences gained during design and the implementation of the first compacted high voltage power line with post line insulators in Slovenia. The project goal was to take the advantage of using the route of way of the existing obsolete 35 kV transmission line in the way to restore it and upgrade to 110 kV voltage level in the future.
