Minimum short circuit power in the LV distribution network to meet EN 50160 standard requirements David MEZERA david.mezera@eon.cz Martin KAŠPÍREK martin.kaspirek@eon.cz E.ON Czech Republic – Czech Republic
The sources of this survey This investigation was done on the basis of: • 8 years experience of PQ measurement • Evaluated over 3000 measurements PQ in the LV network • The LV network contains of • 18.005 MV/LV distribution substation [piece] • 21.660 LV cable underground line [km] • 17.151 LV overhead line [km] Real LV network was monitored for a long time on 3.000 different PCC
Who is responsible? • DNO • Pure network=low short circuit power (Sk)? • Badly connected customers? • Customers • Using of nonstandard apparatus? • Electric apparatus?
Minimum short circuit power LV • Thanks to IEC 725 wecan set the reference impedance value, or more precisely, a relative short circuit power value for the LV distribution network and electric equipment of nominal current less than 16/75 A
Conclusions for DNO • To connect the new appliances according to Sk in the LV network • To increase Sk above minimum Sk 760 kVA, (900 kVA is recommended for today real used electric appliances) • To increase the cross-section of existing LV overhead lines • To build new MV/LV substations
To increase the cross-section of the existing LV overhead lines To increase the cross-section of the existing LV overhead lines not realizable
To build new MV/LV substations The final calculation is: • 54% new substations. This accounts for a construction of 9723 new substations, including transformers and MV connection with approximate total investment cost of: EUR 280 million.
Conclusion • The pure PQ in LV network is caused by poor conditions on both sides, DNO and customer. • Solution on the side of DNO is calculated on 280million EUR. • Solution on the side of customers ??
