The impacts of PV power plants are associated with voltage profiles, electrical losses, power factor, capacity planning, power quality, system operations and protection. Currently utility-scale solar PV plants have nominal capacities that are compatible with distribution substation MVA ratings e.g., between 1 MVA and 10 MVA, plans are to develop transmission interconnected PV plants in the 50 - 100 MW power range. These distribution network impacts are discussed and mitigation solutions are provided. A case study of a feeder fully loaded with PV power plants will be discussed.
