Summary:This paper presents a dynamic stability analysis that explores the effects of increasing penetration and wide distribution of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in a test network when subject to disturbances representative of an extreme weather event. In this study, two PV integration concepts developed as a means to counterpoise residential and commercial space conditioning loads are considered. These models are tested against a control case on the Illini 42 Tornado synthetic test network wherein the cases are each subject to three advancing stages of cascading fault in the form of transmission line disconnections and generator losses. PowerWorld software injects faults within the first 60 seconds of simulation and all cases are limited to a total of five minutes wherein a case may either successfully manage the sequence of disturbances or succumb to a system-wide blackout. Resulting event logs and time series data are compiled and evaluated to determine the effects of the solar addition.
