Abstract

The penetration of renewable energies of Direct Current (DC) to the Distribution Network of Direct Current of Medium Voltage (MVDC) is already a reality. Therefore, extensive planning is required for its location in the electrical network. The implementation of this energy brings great advantages to the system since it contributes to the reduction of losses, improvement of the voltage profile, greater reliability in the system since there is generation of the photovoltaic system installed and of the distribution company. This article was carried out through a bibliographic review of the bases IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis and related academic knowledge, identifying several positive and negative aspects of this new reality of renewable energy, in the same way it was analyzed the Energy Storage System (BESS) and the impact of Electric Vehicles (EV) on distribution networks.
