What is the traditional voltage control architecture in a distribution grid?
The traditional voltage control architecture in the distribution grid consists only of primary control employing reactive power–voltage (Q–V) droop curves and proportional–integral (PI) control, typically at the local device level or centrally by system operators.
Is voltage control a problem for solar PV integration?
Voltage control is one of the urgent issues in distribution systems for solar PV integration. Many LV networks have been designed decades ago, and are not well prepared to accommodate the large amount of power flowing through the grid. This paper describes the mechanism of the voltage rise issue, and the possible mitigation solutions.
Do I need a ground mount for a PV inverter?
If I understand the electrical code (and I may not), bringing and running a system ground wire out with the PV wires from the inverter (or whatever panel in the house) to the ground mount is a requirement. However many of these ground mounts are 100's of feet from the house and the AC ground rod.
How LV grids differ from high voltage transmission systems?
The resistivity of the residential LV grids makes the voltage control differs from high voltage (HV) transmission systems. Considering a simple network as shown in Fig. 1, ignoring the charging effect of the line, in HV system, the magnitude of the resistance is much smaller than the reactance, whilst it is an opposite situation in LV grids.
Can a group of PV inverters be a solar virtual power plant?
In implementation, by the above formula, a group of PV inverters can thus be coordinated and run together as a ‘Solar Virtual Power Plant’ to realise voltage regulation at a LV feeder, or even a larger distribution area. This section presents preliminary voltage control results from both active and reactive power methods presented above.
How is voltage control implemented in a distribution grid?
Traditionally, voltage control in the distribution grid has been implemented using devices such as tap changing transformers, shunt capacitors, and voltage regulators.
