“…The voltage rise issue occurs at both urban and residential areas. Many researchers have investigated this issue as PV grid penetration is expected to increase annually as PV price continues to fall [2], [4]. Voltage rise happens when the PV power supplied to the grid undergoes a sudden spike or drop in a short period of time due to an abrupt change in weather conditions.…”

The impact of high PV penetration into the grid particularly at the distrib ution side has b een extensively studied. However, most of the availab le research focuses on North American style systems. This project aims to investigate the effect of high PV penetration at a residential area in a European-based distrib ution network, which is electricity supply system Malaysia is b ased on. The modeling is done using OpenDSS while the network model used is the IEEE European Low Voltage Test Feeder which consists of 55 loads representing a generic housing area. Each load point is then equipped with a 4 kW PV system-representing a typical size for a house installation. PV output variab ility is then introduced into the modeling using two sample days of actual irradiance variab ility ob tained from UTeM Malaysia; one for clear day and another for a high variab ility day. Voltage unb alance, voltage rise and reverse power flow were analyzed. One significant finding of this project is that voltage rise exceeds the standard of 1.05 pu during noon. Besides that, the high variab ility days significantly affect the mitigation measures required to manage reverse power flow.

Loss issue is significant in power system since it affects the operation of power system, which ultimately can b e translated to monetary effect. Incremental IntroductionElectricity demand is reported to be increasingin many parts of the world. To ensure smooth and continuous supply, more energy need to be produced. Adding new conventional fuel power plant would be a direct method, but the high economic cost and the gas emission effect that comes together deter the installation without proper planning.Renewable energy (RE) offers a sustainable green energy alternative to the carbon-emission fossil fuel. Many countries have decided to utilise large-scale RE, such as solar power, wind power and hydro power. An extensive review and discussion on integrating large-scale photovoltaic (LSPV) power generation in China are reported in [1]. A high penetration PV power plant connected to the distribution network feeder wasstudied by [2]. Technical challenges and solutions to overcome power system stability challenges due to LSPV integration worldwide were presented by [3]. Although some researchers foresee that currently available RE resource is sufficeto serve current demand, extensive planning to optimise the size and location of RE with constraints is needed. Reference [4] presents how they determine the lowest-cost mix of RE resources, demand response and energy storage to replace conventional fuels in Ontario, Canada. Without optimisation, the location and size of RE may cause more loss and cost.Many optimisation techniques have been employed and improvised in finding the best solution. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used in [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] to determine the best solution of their objective function with constraints. Subsequently, ant -colony optimisation (ACO) and symbiotic organism search (SOS) are other optimisation technique used in [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. These swarm intelligence (SI) are mostly developed to address stationary optimisation problems, thus not the best method for dynamic problems [15].
