What happens to excess energy fed into the power grid?
Most decentralized power generation - non-commercial solar panels, wind turbines and the like - happens at the house level, i.e. it produces 115/230VAC and pumps it into the mains supply. Most of the time this is fine because power generated is much less than power consumed and the net energy flow is still in the right direction.

6 FAQs about [What is the reversal of solar power generation ]
What is reverse power relay (RPR) for solar?
Reverse power relay (RPR) for solar is used to eliminate any power reverse back to gird from an on-grid (grid-tie) PV power plant to the grid or to the generator by tripping either on-grid solar inverter or breaker or any contactor depending upon the type of power distribution and a control circuit.
What is reverse power flow?
Historically, power flow in the electricity network has always been ‘top to bottom’ – from the big generators (top) down through the voltages to the end users (bottom). When power is flowing from the lower voltage side of a transformer to the higher voltage side (i.e. from bottom to top) this is defined as reverse power flow.
What happens if solar PV penetration increases?
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Policies and ethics The power generated locally exceeds the demand with the increase in solar PV penetration to the distribution grid, and reverse power flow will occur. As solar PV penetration increases, the reverse power flow and the short-circuit current level increase.
How does reverse power flow affect Protection coordination scheme?
The reverse power flow occurs when the production of DG exceeds local load demand or when local demand reduces so that power flows in the opposite direction and causes abnormal performance of the protection system. In this section, the effect of reverse power flow on the protection coordination scheme is analysed.
What happens if reverse power flow is greater than a transformer?
If the reverse power flow is greater than the rating of one transformer (as the network companies will assume one is switched out when making their assessment), then the generator can’t connect, or needs to be smaller, or the network needs to be upgraded.
What is reverse power flow (RPF)?
The condition where DG generation has excess and power flows from the distribution network back to the grid is referred as Reverse Power Flow (RPF). In this paper, an analysis of RPF has been conducted focusing on a selected distribution network with a total capacity of 20MW mini-hydro generation installed to the substation.
