Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the load flow modelling for net metering application using CIGRE benchmark. This system is programmed using the software PyCharm and coding based on Pandapower open source. Net metering is an initiative of the government to reduce electrical bills. CIGRE, founded in Paris, France in 1921, is a global society dedicated to the collaborative creation and exchange of power system expertise. Thousands of professionals including some of the world's finest specialists, are part of the community. CIGRE community provide different technical viewpoints and experience from all around the world. In this project, the benchmarking system by CIGRE is used to simulate the low-voltage network (commercial). Net metering is applied in the system where the solar photovoltaic panels (PV) are installed at the bus of the network. Different connection of solar panel in the bus system and suitable percentage solar penetration that may results in different magnitude of phase voltage, reactive power and active power with complex coding of Pandapower. The simulation of the network is to develop and simulate the load flow of a commercial network using Pandapower, an open-source tool, study the impact of GCPV systems on a commercial network's voltage profile and impact of GCPV systems in a commercial network under the Net Energy Metering intiative. The percentage of solar penetration varies for different cases. The changes of each magnitude are shown in the results and the capabillities of net metering application based on CIGRE benchmark also show clear result. Moreover, the software Python is used to ease the calculation method for load flow such as Newton-Rhapson
