Pv Generation

During the recent past, the interest towards adoption of Distributed Generation (DG) has increased dramatically among the electric power system utilities. It has been well established that installation of PV Generation at the load points in a distribution system is excellent advantages for both consumers and the utilities. The question arises whether the maximum beneficiary is the Utility or the consumer and who has to bear the cost. This research analyses the economics of the DG with PV Systems, taking a typical 400V distribution system. A detailed procedure adopted for performing the economic analysis is presented in this paper. Benefits considered includes Saving in the energy losses, Energy substitute by the PV system, Capacity release in the Feeders and the Transformer. The PV system is installed at the selected consumer load points, based on the size and location of the loads. Discounted Cash Flow technique is used to assess the economics of the system, by computing the Internal Rate of Return. The paper presents the advantages of using PV Generating systems in the Power Distribution System, quantifying economic benefits both for the Utilities and for the Customers with supporting data.

In recent years, the introduction of the photovoltaic generation system (PV system) has been increasing by promoting the use of renewable energy. It has been feared that the reverse current from the PV system may cause an unacceptable level of voltage rise at the interconnection node in the power distribution system. This paper discusses the effects of the reverse current on the voltage rise and fall characteristics of the interconnection node and the voltage profiles along the power distribution line. When the line current on the circuit is small, the voltage on the line monotonically increases from the sending end to the receiving end. When a relatively large current flows, it causes a voltage reduction near the distribution substation. Furthermore, on the basis of the voltage aspects in the power distribution system with a large PV system, the allowable limits of the line current and the output power from PV system are investigated.

This paper presents a simulation of a grid-connected photovoltaic power system. A complex model of power distribution system is developed in MATLAB Simulink, then it will be simulated to determine an amount of power delivered to the grid based on irradiance and temperature. Solar irradiance data collection is conducted using a solar irradiance meter. These weather data (solar irradiances and temperatures) are transformed into signal inputs and model through a grid-tied Photovoltaic (PV) model system which consists of PV, incremental conductance Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method, DC-DC boost converter, inverter, voltage source converter (VSC) control algorithms, and grid equipment. The output variables can be related to current, voltage or power. However, tracing of the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics or power-voltage (P-V) characteristics are the vital need to grid-tied PV system operation. Changes in solar irradiance and temperature imply changes in output variables. Detailed modelling of the effect of irradiance and temperature, on the parameters of the PV module and the output parameters will be discussed. With the aid of this model, one can have a feasible idea about the solar energy generation potential at given locations. This comprehensive model is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software.

Protection is a safety in the electric power system installed in the electric power distribution system, power transformer, electric power transmission, and electric generator used to secure the power system electricity from electrical disturbances or overloads by separating the disturbed parts of the electric power system from the undisturbed electrical power system so that the undisturbed electrical system can continue to work. The protection system at the T75B substation has a work failure where when there is a short circuit on the consumer side, it causes the PMT (Power Breaker) for the Malibu Feeder at the Kebon Sirih Substation to trip while the CBO (Circuit Breaker Outgoing) cubicle at the T75B substation does not trip. This resulted in an unexpected widespread blackout. To find out the cause of the failure of the protection system, several tests and analyzes were carried out, namely protection design testing, protection relay coordination testing, protection system construction analysis, protection equipment performance testing. It is hoped that the test results can be used as a reference for improvement so that similar failures do not recur.

This article discusses such an important issue as the power factor of Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) and its improvement through Power Factor Correction (PFC). The power factor shows how effectively uses the consumption of electric energy by certain loads connected to the power distribution system with Alternative Current (AC), which is very critical for the electricity-producing industry. The number of power factors is a dimensionless value that can vary from -1 to 1. Thus, in an electric power system, a load with a low power factor draws more current than a load with a high power factor for the same amount of transferring useful power, which may cause overloading of the power grid and lead to over-expenditure of electricity. Otherwise, designing power factor correction (PFC) into modern switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) has evolved over the past few years due to the introduction of many new controller integrated circuits (IC). Today, it is possible to design a variety of PFC circuits with different modes of operation, each with its own set of challenges. As the number of choices has increased, so has the complexity of making the choice and then executing the new design. In this article, the design considerations and details of operation for the most popular approaches are provided.

This paper contains a strategy to minimize the power losses in the electrical distribution network of Kosovo. In order to develop the strategy, a model was constructed to simulate an electrical distribution network, and different parameters were included that helped in estimation of the technical power losses in the medium voltage (MV) distribution network. The main objective of this paper is to present approach to minimize technical and non-technical losses in power systems. The analysis of the Kosovo electric power system was performed by means of PSS/E 3.3 software. The results indicate options for reduction of the loses by replacement of old type of transformers and preparation of the MV system for upgrade and change the voltage level from 10 kV to 20 kV. As a first step new 110/10kV transformers can be installed, designed to be reconnected in the future to 110/20kV.
