Simulation of a solar power plant

This electronic document presents the numeric simulation of a solar power plant. Integrating solar power plants into the domestic electricity network raises serious regulatory issues. The voltage level provided by solar power plants can change rapidly, since it depends on environmental factors and on the surface temperature of the solar cells. At extreme temperatures, the provided voltage can exceed the prescribed standard value, therefore an intervention - primarily hysteresis voltage regulation - becomes necessary. The present study describes the effect of a 680.4 kW

solar power plant on the voltage of the power grid as a function of ambient temperature, through simulation results.
