The concept of hosting capacity refers to the amount of solar photovoltaic generation (or wind) that can be hosted on a power distribution network, at a given time, without adversely impacting safety, power quality, reliability, or other operational features [1]. This analysis can use different performance criteria, including transient and stationary state analysis. The latter alludes to the maximum amount of generated power possible to host without creating over-voltage problems and maintaining operational limits on the distribution lines.

A hosting capacity analysis requires considering the stochastic nature of solar radiation and power demand [2]. Furthermore, it needs to consider the non-linear characteristics related to the power flow equations. Therefore, it is a problem as complex as the optimal power flow (Chapter 11 investigates this problem).
