Integration of Photovoltaic Energy in the Electricity System of Kosovo
Session
Energy Efficiency Engineering
Description
Small-scale electricity generators such as photovoltaic (PV) systems are generally connected to the grid in primary or secondary distribution and are considered distributed. Often, these small-scale generators cannot be connected directly to the grid. Generation technology requires the use of an integration between the generator and the utility distribution network. This paper describes the most common issues and challenges encountered during the grid integration of small-scale photovoltaic power systems. The main problems and appropriate solutions are highlighted in this paper. These include technical and power quality issues as primary issues and economic and research issues as secondary issues. Grid-connected photovoltaic systems have grown dramatically in recent years due to increased global interest in renewable energy sources and increased energy demand. As a consequence, new and modern control strategies must be implemented to improve the efficiency, reliability and stability of grid-connected PV systems. To achieve this, the entire PV system must be tested under different weather and grid conditions. However, the large variety of PV system devices and control algorithms, in addition to the destructive nature of many types of scenarios and faults, make practical PV system testing difficult and expensive. The simulation results show that the model is reliable, stable and suitable for the study of grid-connected PV system.
