Renewable Energy
Solar photovoltaic (PV) farms are intermittent or non-dispatchable sources of electricity which inherently possess characteristics such as variability, stability and non-synchronous generation. Such PV generated power characteristics are caused by numerous factors that include but are not limited to; availability of solar radiations only during the day time, weather conditions, seasons etc. For instance, with high midday PV generation can lead to over-generation which may result into the curtailment of the energy due to transmission constraints and/or possibilities of power system destabilization. In addition to these challenges, solar farms may also be a source of various power quality problems such as harmonic distortions
The key benefits of improving power quality in Renewable energy include:
