Abstract
Recently, photovoltaic (PV) has been a dramatic development throughout the world, especially connected to the distribution networks. The connection of PV energy resources challenges the planning and operation of the grid. This paper aims to study and provide understanding on the impact of PV generation on voltage profile and MW losses in the southwest Libyan distribution network. For this purpose a 27-bus Takarkibah distribution network has been modelled in Power World Simulator. Finally, the results did show an improvement in the voltage profile and MW losses of the network for both the higher penetration level and multiple locations of the PV.
