Distribution Feeder Support With Photovoltaics The concept of supporting the transmission and distribution (T and D) system with photovoltaic (PV) distributed energy sources has gained increasing attention as the cost of PV energy has declined. Locating a PV system at a strategic point on the distribution feeder can enhance the overall T and D system performance and provide a source of renewable power generation. In such applications, the PV system peak output might range from a few percent up to about 20 percent of the peak feeder load. This article presents the results of one such study.
