Performance Evaluation of Solar PV Inverter Controls for Overvoltage Mitigation in MV Distribution Networks

The incorporation of real and reactive power control solar photovoltaic (PV) inverters has received significant interest as an onsite countermeasure to the voltage rise problem. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis involvement active curtailment absorption techniques PV for regulation in medium (MV) distribution networks. A case study been conducted generic MV network Malaysia, demonstrating effectiveness fixed factor control, Volt–Var, Volt–Watt controls mitigating overvoltage issues that have arisen due extensive integration systems. results revealed aids successfully support operating conditions. Furthermore, comparative demonstrated importance employing most appropriate technique improved performance.
