Large Scale Deployment of PV Units in Existing Distribution Networks: Optimization of the Installation Layout

Mario Paolone, Michael Lehning, Fabrizio Sossan, Annelen Kahl, Stuart John Bartlett, Jana Darulová

In fixed PV installations, the azimuth and tilt of the panels are normally chosen with the objective of maximizing the plant capacity factor. In this paper, we show that when considering distribution networks with densely clustered PV plants, there exist i ...
