The connection of a photovoltaic plant to the electrical grid can be at low voltage (230/400V), medium voltage (usually 15kV or 20kV), or high voltage (132kV). The type of connection between the three just illustrated depends on the power of the 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.
Normally, the solar energy grid con- Table 2. Range of voltage at the PCC. c. If the frequency is 50.2 Hz, the solar power plant shall inject active power up to 51.5 Hz. operator and the owner of solar power plant. not exceed 10% (of the rated active power of the plant) per minute. quality of the voltage waveform at the PCC.
The solar power plant should be equipped with a synchronizing unit with a proper phase-locked loop to keep the inverter synchronized with the grid to deliver the right amount of power within permissible operational frequency and voltage variations. The rating and short-circuit duties of the switchgear shall comply with the Grid Code requirements.
Depending on its capacity, a solar plant can be connected to LV, MV, or HV networks. Successful connection of a medium-scale solar plant should satisfy requirements of both the Solar Energy Grid Connection Code (SEGCC) and the appropriate code: the Electricity Distribution Code (EDC) or the Grid Code (GC) as the connection level apply.
The solar plants connected to the power grid shall endeavor to maintain the quality of the voltage waveform at the PCC. The solar power plants shall comply with the requirements specified in Section 5.3 of the Performance Code of the Grid Code and/or the related part in the Electricity Distribution Code.
