Fig 2.1 Renewable generation and displacement supported by the RET, 2013 [6]
This high number of renewable energy penetration especially in LV network has raised new way of utilizing bidirectional power flow in the distribution network. Bidirectional power flow from DG, is common phenomena now a day’s .For example, in a normal sunny day, the average PV generation would be high compared to cloudy day; and, the load requirement during day time in residential areas are quite low compared to early evening to night time. As, PV installations are carried out keeping the total load demand from a house , during the sunny day, the PV can easily exceed the load demand and generate excess power than required. This power is then back flowed to the distribution network causing bidirectional power flow. From recent trends, in most of the countries with PV installation in the world, this bidirectional power flow is allowed in the grid via the smart meter and the distribution retailers pay the consumer for supplying power to
