Power Quality Assessment in Small Scale Renewable Energy Sources Supplying Distribution Systems

چکیده
The impact of wind turbines and photovoltaic systems on network operation and power quality (harmonics, and voltage fluctuations) is very important. The capability of the power system to absorb this perturbation is dependent on the fault level at the point of common coupling. The paper deals with power quality case studies conducted on existing renewable resources-based systems. Voltage fluctuations determined by a 0.65 MVA wind turbine are analyzed. The impact of photovoltaic systems on steady state voltage variations and current harmonics is investigated. The correlation between the generated power and the main power quality indices is highlighted.

Monitoring Power Quality in Small Scale Renewable Energy Sources Supplying Distribution Systems
The integration of renewable sources within the existing power system affects its traditional principles of operation. The renewable energy sources (RES) can be used in small, decentral‐ ized power plants or in large ones, they can be built in small capacities and can be used in different locations [1]. In isolated areas where the cost of the extension of the power systems (from utilities point...
