Hosting Capacity

This section allows users to configure how hosting capacity is calculated across the grid, including evaluation scope, voltage levels, and violation thresholds.

Evaluation Parameters

• Device Category: Define the type of device for hosting capacity analysis (e.g., Generation).
• Evaluation Scope: Choose whether to evaluate the entire grid.
• Voltage Level Consideration: Option to include the highest voltage level in the analysis.
• Existing Load and Generation:
  • Shift operating point by considering existing loads
  • Consider existing generators

Calculation Settings

• Ignore Existing Violations: Optionally exclude pre-existing grid violations.
• Convergence Threshold: Set the convergence limit for iterative calculations (e.g., 1%).
• Max Iterations per Bus: Define the maximum number of iterations (e.g., 50).

Rule Set and Connection Types

• Rule Set: Select applicable standards (e.g., International).
• Connection Type Category:
  • Single-phase
  • Two-phase
  • Three-phase

Violation Checks

• Check Voltage Violations in Sibling Grids: Enable cross-grid validation.
• Bus Voltage Change: Set maximum allowed change (e.g., 3%).

Thresholds for Grid Violations

• Undervoltage: Minimum 0.9 pu
• Overvoltage: Maximum 1.1 pu
• Line Loading: Maximum 110%
• Transformer Loading: Maximum 120%
• Fuse Loading: Maximum 100%
• Voltage Unbalance Factor: Maximum 2%

These settings help ensure accurate and compliant hosting capacity evaluations across different grid scenarios.
