Full Description

This document specifies methods for the evaluation of the maximum export capacity ofdistributed energy resources (DER) that distribution networks can accommodate. It providesguidance on the technical constraints that should be considered in evaluating hosting capacity,information required to be collected to undertake a hosting capacity evaluation, and evaluationmethods.

This document is applicable to AC distribution networks operating at a nominal frequency of50 Hz or 60 Hz.

This document does not specify allowable values of system parameters that can be impactedby the addition of DER on a distribution network, such as maximum or minimum voltage,maximum current, etc. These values are to be determined by the user, from international ornational standards, local regulations or the like, and used as an input to the evaluation methodsdescribed in this document.

Options for increasing the hosting capacity of distribution networks are not specificallyconsidered, although the identification of constraints to the hosting capacity will assist users indeveloping methods for increasing the overall hosting capacity.

This document is mainly used by distribution system operators (DSO) and other organizationswith corresponding qualifications and capabilities. The evaluation results can serve the DERinvestors, DSO, energy sector regulators and other stakeholders as a decision-making basis.
