Performance of the Grid-Connected PV System in LV Microgrid Operation

Abstract:

Microgrids are a future power system configuration providing clear economic and environmental benefits compared to the legacy power systems, as the Grid-Connected PV penetration increases, its reaction in Low Voltage (LV) microgrid has to be taken into account during relative system studies. This paper presents a mathematical model for the Grid-Connected PV, it’s developed by User Define (UD) module on Power System Analysis Software Package (PSASP), PV behavior under several typical weather and typical 1-day load curve is studied in detail, Flexible Operation Strategy to achieve the reasonable voltage level are both considered, PSASP simulation environment is used to analyze the probable operation scenarios of LV microgrid, useful conclusions are summarized at last.
