The scale of the overvoltage problems that will be seen across a Distribution Network Operator’s low voltage network is quantified for increasing levels of solar photovoltaic integration. This is completed on 9,163 real low voltage network models which have been extracted using a bespoke method from a Geographical Information System. Two configurations of distributed energy storage are investigated; home storage randomly taken up by customers; and storage directed by the Distribution Network Operator to areas where it will give the greatest effect on overvoltage problems. It is found that a planned approach is more effective in mitigating overvoltage than if consumers adopt storage in an ad-hoc manner, although the later can bring advantages.
