The various distribution energy resources (DERs), in the form of wind, solar etc., are now being installed at different transmission and distribution sections of the power system with varying capacity. Almost, in all the cases, power electronic converters are being utilised as the primary interfacing element for DERs penetration into the grid. The inherent limitation of generating harmonics of those converters along with the non-linear load, prevailing in the distribution system, results in harmonic power flow. This paper aims to analyse the effect of integration of medium range solar PV (SPV) system into the low voltage distribution grid. Depending on the availability of the SPV with varying capacity causes variation in mixture of power flow with the grid. The presence of harmonic for non-linear loads is simulated using ETAP software for only grid mode, SPV system mode, as well as mixture mode of operation. The contribution of the power flow during contingent condition is also studied. Interesting results are observed for all modes of operation as well as contingent conditions. These observations may lead to the design of the settings of the protective devices for reliable operation of this hybrid system.
