The utility feeder for the Northeast Residential Experiment Station (NE RES) in Concord, MA, is a 2.4/4.16-kV circuit from the Concord Municipal Light Plant. The line was modeled analytically to predict the effects of loads and injected photovoltaic (PV) power applied at the NE RES. Measurements were made with instrumentation installed on the feeder near the substation and at the NE RES. The effects were compared with predictions. Measurements of ambient harmonic voltage and currents were made near the substation.
