Minimization of Voltage Deviation by Considering Active Power Change of Solar PV Plant

Article Preview

Abstract:

For grid-connected photovoltaic systems, voltage profile is one of the most important issues to consider when the active power from PV plant changes because of variation of sunlight or night time. This paper proposes a method to calculate the optimal reactive power from solar PV plant to minimize voltage deviation when active power of one PV plant changes. By injecting of optimal reactive power, the voltage profile of all buses will be improved. The IEEE 33 bus system is selected to analyse the voltage deviation in various conditions [1].
