AB - Distribution networks have been traditionally conceived fortransporting electricity downstream into low voltage demandnodes. However, the connection of significant amounts ofdistributed generation may reverse this condition, resulting indistribution nodes exporting power to other parts of thenetwork. The current planning standard of the UK distributionnetworks (Engineering recommendation P2/6) requires makingavailable sufficient capacity and redundancy for downstreamflows under peak demand levels. However, it does notexplicitly consider the implications of DG-mediated flowreversals that may cause flow constraints under circuit outageconditions. Relying on a Monte Carlo approach to sample windand demand with adjustable correlations, this paper providesinsights into the risks associated with an increase of variabledistributed generation to the point where reverse flows mayexceed the connection capacity under circuit outage conditions.Remote tripping schemes that disconnect distributedgenerators upon occurrence of a fault are explored to mitigateoutage related costs. The latter strategy carries benefits but alsonovel risks in the form of a reliance on real-timecommunication and control, which may malfunction. It isshown that even unreliable corrective actions conveysignificant benefits to system reliability.
