Impact Analysis of Distributed Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation System Integration on Power Grid Voltage Stability Using Static Techniques

Abstract

Recently, the rise in consumption of electrical energy and power transmission between various utilities has resulted in the emergence of anxieties about the power system's network voltage stability. Additionally, the necessity for power systems to perform in a secure condition has increased due to an increase in load demand globally. Therefore, the use of renewable energy-based distributed generation is growing quickly to help meet electrical demand and disrupt environmental issues caused by the use of fossil fuels. This type of generation can have a positive or negative influence on the stability of the power system. This paper analyzes the effects of distributed PV power integration on the power grid's voltage stability using static techniques. In order to improve efficacy and accuracy, give a complete and in-depth understanding of the problem of voltage stability, and identify the causes of instability, a combination of four different techniques is employed for analysis. Analysis methodologies include modal analysis, sensitivity analysis, PV curve, and QV curve. The analysis of voltage stability is carried out on an IEEE 14-bus system by using NEPLAN software. The simulation results showed that the integration of a renewable energy resource-based distributed solar PV power system into the test system led to a noticeable improvement in stability degree, a decrease in sensitivity of buses, a significant improvement in system MW loading, an enhancement in voltage profile, and a perceptible increase in reactive power margin
