An assessment of the impact of PV power output on the power quality in the low voltage grid. A PV penetration of 40% will already cause problematic voltage fluctuations in the considered low voltage grid. A numerical comparison among three different regulation strategies for mitigating rapid voltage fluctuations.
For this purpose, this study utilizes measured PV power output data with a two-second resolution. Next, the voltage fluctuation mitigation potential of three different solutions is tested, namely: (i) active power curtailment, (ii) grid reinforcement and (iii) supercapacitors.
In addition, it will help control engineers and researchers select proper control strategies for PV systems as well as other distributed renewable sources. Large solar photovoltaic (PV) penetration using inverters in low-voltage (LV) distribution networks may pose several challenges, such as reverse power flow and voltage rise situations.
A PV penetration of 40% will already cause problematic voltage fluctuations in the considered low voltage grid. A numerical comparison among three different regulation strategies for mitigating rapid voltage fluctuations. Grid reinforcement, active power curtailment and supercapacitors reduce the magnitude of voltage fluctuations.
For instance, PV inverters may help maintain stability after a system disturbance, such as a short circuit caused by a lightning strike on a transmission line, which may trigger a FD signal that is responsible for opening the faulted line's circuit breakers .
