Grid integration of large-scale PV plants

Over the last few years, the considerable increase in the number of multi-MW PV plants has led transmission system operators (TSO) to express concern over potential PV power fluctuations caused by transient clouds. As a result, new grid codes are being issued in order to include new criteria which m...

Description
Summary:Over the last few years, the considerable increase in the number of multi-MW PV plants has led transmission system operators (TSO) to express concern over potential PV power fluctuations caused by transient clouds. As a result, new grid codes are being issued in order to include new criteria which make it easier for the TSO to react appropriately to harmful short-term power fluctuations. It si precisely these new regulations the origin of this thesis, which is a pioneering study attempting to face with this situation. Herein, the main results in order to smooth out these fluctuations and comply with the regulations are presented.
