Modelling and Analysis of High Performance for Solar Power Injection with Distribution Networks

Abstract

Given the growing emphasis on environmental consciousness, there is a spike in the integration of solar photovoltaic energy into contemporary distribution networks. Interestingly, there is a non-linear relationship between the energy production of solar modules and changing external environmental conditions. In response, this study aims to increase the effectiveness of solar photovoltaic systems (SPVS) by putting out a careful analysis to ascertain the ideal performance criteria for the integration of renewable energy sources into distribution networks. The use of a Maximum Power Point Tracker is crucial to this assessment (MPPT). The model provides important insights into the possible increases in energy efficiency, making it a strong tool in this optimization process. In addition, the research conducts a comparison analysis, examining the distribution system properties in relation to different levels of solar PV system penetration. This aspect of the research illuminates the consequences of harmonic-induced distortions in current and voltage on the feeder networks in the distribution system. The simulation findings clearly show that as the penetration capacity of the PV system increases, so does the amount of harmonic dispersion that is introduced into the network. This suggests that it would be wise to incorporate the photovoltaic (PV) array only as far as the network can support it in order to prevent any possible performance reduction. Using MATLAB/SIMULINK as a computational tool, the research carefully examines the important characteristics from the technical data in order to examine the overall model. Further testing of the model's flexibility and resilience under a range of weather scenarios and partial shade conditions offers a thorough assessment of the model's performance dynamics. Positively, the investigation concluded with results that were satisfactory and confirmed the system's exceptional performance capabilities, which are supported by the MPPT. This result reflects a positive trend toward maximizing the integration of renewable energy sources into distribution networks, which will help to create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy landscape.
