Popis: The significant penetration of renewable generation, mainly wind and solar, in the electrical system bring new challenges for power systems operation due to their dependency to weather conditions. In this perspective, this paper proposes an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach to identify operating conditions that can lead to voltage limits violation, enabling one to perform control actions in order to mitigate these scenarios. For this sake, the ANN approach determines the generating units responsible for the voltage limits violation, so that the system operator can determine whether or not the renewable unit(s) should stay connected to the system. The methodology was tested for the IEEE 34-bus system considering two renewables generators. The data are obtained employing Monte Carlo simulation with the help of a scanning backward/forward technique to obtain the load flow solution. The results indicate a robust methodology capable of assisting in decision making of renewable units’ operation in power system to avoid voltage violations.
