Propagation of Voltage Fluctuations in Distribution Grids Containing Renewable Energy Sources

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs), such as photovoltaic and wind power plants, into the medium-voltage distribution grid creates significant concerns regarding voltage control at local substations. Understanding the specifics of the RES operation impact on the phenomenon and propagation of voltage fluctuations in the distribution grid is important for engineering solutions in the practice of RES design and operation. The presented article describes an algorithm for estimating the impact of RES on voltage fluctuations in the medium-voltage grid.

STATE AND PROSPECTS OF SOLAR ENERGY DEVELOPMENT

The potential of solar energy in Ukraine is high enough for widespread implementation. The most promising method of obtaining electricity is a method of direct conversion of radiation into electricity using solar panels. The production of electricity using solar panels prevents air pollution compared to the production of electricity by thermal power plants and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
