The actual design criteria could include: specifying a specific size (in kWp) for an array; available budget; available roof space; wanting to zero their annual electrical usage or a number of other specific customer related criteria. Determining the energy yield, specific yield and performance ratio of the grid connect PV system.
Using capacitors and/or reactors to meet the requirements of the P-Q chart at the PCC is acceptable. The SEGCC stipulates that, in case of a grid fault, the grid-connected solar power plant has to remain connected to the grid when the positive-sequence voltage at the PCC is above the curve shown in Figure 18.
The solar energy grid connection code defines the limits of the individual and total harmonic distortion of voltage and current waveforms at the PCC as listed in Tables 4 – 7 in accordance with the IEEE Standard 519-1992. The updated version of this standard (IEEE Standard 519-2014) has introduced new two rows as given in Tables 4 and 7.
The grid protection settings in the solar plants must comply with the requirements stipulated in the SEGCC, unless otherwise agreed with the transmission system operator. At the PCC, the grid protections shall be in compliance with the protection code of the Grid Code .
The SEGCC stipulates that, in case of a grid fault, the grid-connected solar power plant has to remain connected to the grid when the positive-sequence voltage at the PCC is above the curve shown in Figure 18. This defines the ability of the solar power plant to ride through the grid fault without disconnection from the grid.
The document provides the minimum knowledge required when designing a PV Grid connect system. The actual design criteria could include: specifying a specific size (in kWp) for an array; available budget; available roof space; wanting to zero their annual electrical usage or a number of other specific customer related criteria.
