Impact Of Solar Photovoltaic System On Transformer Tap Changer In Low Voltage Distribution Networks

This paper investigates the impact of solar resource variability on the operation of a low-voltage On-Load-Tap-Changer (OLTC) in a generic distribution network from the Malaysian grid. The OLTC's operation is studiedin two different weather conditions—sunny and cloudy days. The aspects analysed...
