contents Voltage unbalance, caused by variations in voltage magnitude and phase angle, is a significant power quality issue in three-phase systems, leading to equipment inefficiencies and increased system losses. The integration of distributed energy resources (DER) into the grid adds complexity, as DER can either reduce or worsen voltage unbalance, depending on factors such as grid configuration and the distribution of loads and DER themselves. This study explores the effects of DER penetration on voltage unbalance levels and the accuracy of the different indices most commonly used to quantify this unbalance. The results highlight the varying impacts of DER on unbalance and index performance, emphasizing the need for effective strategies to assess voltage unbalance in modern distribution systems.
