RESEARCH OF ENERGY LOSS IN A SOLAR POWER PLANT AT A TRACTION SUBSTATION
An analysis of losses in a solar power plant of direct current № 18 с. Zmiiv, Kharkivregion with all climatic conditions of this region. The energy efficiency indicators of inverters used in these solar power plants are analyzed. According to experimental data based on the softwarepackage PVsyst measured energy losses generated by a solar power plant. Connecting the SES to themains can improve the voltage levels at the system nodes, but it is necessary to provide a powerreserve in the system to cover the power deficit in the event of a sudden shutdown due to naturalfactors.To analyze the energy losses of solar energy, the software package PVsyst was used, whichallows you to analyze the parameters of electricity losses with the display of loss diagrams for theyear and the dependence of the amount of losses in electricity generation by solar panels. PVsystsoftware is used to calculate the output power, performance, and total loss of a station connected tothe network. Losses calculated by PVsyst software include two types: PV array loss and System loss.After analyzing research conducted in Ukraine and other European countries, it is possible toconclude that the impact of poor quality electricity on electrical equipment is quite significant, andthe study of the impact of unconventional generation sources on electricity quality indicators willidentify ways to reduce electricity losses and increase electricity life equipment. The efficiency ofsolar energy conversion is greatly reduced due to reflections from the surface of the photovoltaicsystem. Also due to the peculiarities of the construction of photovoltaic converters there is a decreasein the efficiency of solar panels with increasing temperature.
