Performance indicators for quantifying the ability of the grid to host renewable electricity production

This study proposes a comprehensive set of performance indicators that should be used when evaluating the hosting capacity (HC) of a system. Descriptions are given for the most relevant phenomena and how they should be quantified and measured. The suggested time resolution for the data has been 1 h, 10 min, and 3 s, based on what is available already in standard meters. The use of 100, 99, or 95 percentile values has an impact on the HC, and there is a need for further discussion with regard to the selection of statistical limits.
