Abstract

Solar Photovoltaics now constitute a significant part of electrical power generation for many utilities around the world. This penetration of PVs introduces many technical challenges. This thesis has investigated the impact of high penetration level of single phase rooftop PVs on protection of low voltage and medium voltage and distribution networks and proposed necessary recommendation to improve the performance of protection systems of these networks.
