solar power plant

The object of the research is an agrophotovoltaic system. An analysis of the operating conditions of one of the existing solar power plants was performed and limitations of electricity generation due to its excess in the power system or due to work mode restrictions both under the normal state of the power grid and under individual emergency or repair modes were identified. This leads to an underproduction of electricity and a decrease in the efficiency of using the installed capacity of the solar power plant (SPP).

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.

“Green” tariff — a special price at which electricity produced from renewable energy sources — hydroelectric power plants, photovoltaic, wind turbines is purchased. Businesses and households that produce electricity at a “green” tariff sell it on the market much more expensively than traditional producers of thermal or nuclear energy. The paper analyzes the legislation and regulations on “green” tariff in Ukraine and the problems of their implementation. In particular, attention is paid to the use of solar power plants (SPP) in individual households.
