On the Contribution of A PV Generation in Adrar’s Isolated Power System

This paper aims to study and analyse a 220 kV isolated power plant of Adrar, Algeria. This power system is mainly composed of nine buses and seven PV power plants. Simulations are conducted using this power system where the irradiance, power demand and temperature variations are considered. Firstly, the effect of PV module temperature on the generated power is presented and discussed. Secondly, the load flow is analysed during 24 hours in order to evaluate the overall contribution of the PV generation, especially during rush hours. Finally, the transmitted power is also studied, showing the purpose of the related high voltage lines.
