PV Penetrations in Conventional Power System and Generation of Harmonic and Power Quality Issues: A Review

Abstract

The degree of PV penetrations is a critical metric that assesses how well solar energy is integrated into the grid. It offers many advantages, such as lowering greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing grid reliability. It does, however, also bring some difficulties that call for careful preparation and financial outlays. It's obvious that solar energy will be crucial to our shift to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future given the rate at which PV penetrations are continuing to rise. Government regulations, economic viability, and technological developments are driving an increase in the percentage of photovoltaic systems integrated into conventional power systems. It is anticipated that PV penetration will keep rising as the globe moves closer to a more sustainable future. This will not only lessen our carbon footprint but also increase energy security and open up new job opportunities in the renewable energy industry. In order to solve technical issues and guarantee the seamless integration of PV systems into conventional power systems, it is imperative to keep funding research and development. There are benefits and drawbacks to PV systems' growing integration with traditional power systems. PV systems can lower carbon emissions and encourage sustainability, but there are certain integration issues that must be addressed to prevent problems with power quality, harmonics, and variability. These difficulties can be overcome, and the integration of PV systems can help create a more dependable and sustainable power system with the right preparation and coordination.
