Model of Power Factor Charge for Photovoltaic Generation System Based on its Contribution to Power Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a power factor charge model, which considers the operation of photovoltaic generation system (PVGS). The proposed model is aimed to encourage Very Small Power Producer (VSPP) to have contribution, by its operation, to voltage regulation in the connecting power system. The proposed model allows PVGS has to either consume or supply reactive power for maintaining system voltages to be within an acceptable range. In the financial part, consuming or supplying reactive power may cause the power factor charge to be increased while the opportunity for generating active power (PVGS income) to be reduced. The proposed model is tested in impact of PVGS to utility grid, and the results show that PVGS can have contribution to grid support.
