    The role of photovoltaic power station generator transformation

    Photovoltaic (PV) power generation has developed very rapidly worldwide in the recent years. There is a possibility that the PV power generation will switch from an auxiliary power supply, as of today, to a main.


    FAQs about The role of photovoltaic power station generator transformation

    Why should PV generators be integrated into the grid?

    With the increased integration of PV generators into the grid, the system operators start to require PV generators have capabilities to stay online during the fault, and provide the active power and the reactive power supports when being required to do so.

    How is a PV generator modeled in a power system steady state study?

    A PV generator is modeled as a constant active power and reactive power source in power system steady state studies. When PV generation changes due to the ambient environment, the power system steady state studies do not investigate the transients of the power system caused by the change in PV generation.

    What is photovoltaic (PV) power generation?

    Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is one main form of utilizing the solar energy and has developed very rapidly around the world in the past decade (Domínguez et al., 2015, Pinson et al., 2017, Zappa et al., 2019).

    How to predict the future power generation of PV power station?

    Leveraging the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 data, the study constructed the Vine Copula multi-model ensemble downscaling model. On this basis, the future power generation of PV power station for 2025–2034 was predicted using the future meteorological data provided by the downscaling model. Both models constructed for the PV power station have high accuracy.

    How does a PV generator work?

    By controlling the instantaneous three-phase inverter output voltages, and, the PV generator controls the active power output and the reactive power interchanges with the external grid.

    What are the different types of PV generators?

    There are two typical configurations of PV generator in power system applications, namely, single-stage and two-stage as shown in Fig. 1a, Fig. 1b. A single-stage PV generator uses only one converter to complete both the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and the power grid connection.
