Abstract

The escalating penetration of distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems has intensified grid-connected voltage violations, posing severe challenges to the stability of distribution networks. This paper first investigates the mechanisms of voltage violations at 35 kV substations and 380 V consumer-side terminals under high-penetration scenarios. It is demonstrated that PV integration elevates line voltage, with the voltage profile at any given node being governed by the equivalent net load—defined as the offset between total demand and PV generation—downstream of that node. Subsequently, the impacts of critical operating conditions, including PV penetration levels, line impedance, and dynamic meteorological variations, are quantitatively analyzed. Simulation results characterize voltage fluctuation patterns under diverse variables, such as varying PV outputs, line parameters, and interconnection points, thereby validating the theoretical derivation. Finally, an integrated management strategy, coupling coordinated reactor compensation with voltage-source inverter (VSI) control, is proposed. Simulation results across multi-dimensional complex scenarios verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in suppressing voltage violations and enhancing grid resilience.
