Introduction:
Increased penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) on the Low Voltage (LV) network, particularly Domestic Combined Heat and Power (DCHP) units, is expected to have a significant and adverse effect on voltage regulation. This is a concern especially when a large number of DCHP units are installed in existing properties within a small geographical area on an existing LV feeder. If the feeder was designed to normal planning standards it may suffer from voltage excursions at time of peak generation.
Objectives:
This project is aiming to develop an On-Load Tap Changer for the low voltage side of a standard distribution transformer. This is to aid with voltage level issues when faced with a high level of DG penetration.
