The fast-growing uptake of distributed energy resources (DER), such as home photovoltaic (PV) and battery systems and electric vehicles, has introduced new challenges in the operation of low-voltage distribution networks (LVDNs). High levels of DER can produce large swings in power flow from the day (low-demand, high PV exports) to the night (high-demand) that can push the LVDN network to its operational limits. Network operating envelopes aim to maximise network capacity utilisation through the implementation of dynamic customer capacity limits, where DER exports or imports are constrained at times of network congestion and otherwise relaxed to potentially higher levels than those realisable through traditional static customer capacity limits. A common assumption underlying the implementation of operating envelopes is that operational constraint violations will be avoided if the realised demands of customers under dynamic connections all fall within their capacity envelopes. However, this assumption needs more careful consideration in the light of strong unbalance and mutual phase couplings common in LVDNs. This paper analyses phase voltage level sensitivities to customer demand levels and demonstrates that voltage violations can still occur when all customers are within their limits. These results, illustrated by experimental studies based on a two-bus example and a real representative Australian LVDN, underline the importance of incorporating uncertainty in the calculation of operating envelopes. |
