Abstract

The increasing deployment of non- conventional energy sources to the grid poses many challenges to the utility. One of the key challenges is proper reactive power compensation on the grid side as any unbalance in the reactive power on the grid side will cause voltage variations at the point of common coupling (PCC). This paper presents design of three-phase, two-stage-grid-connected solar PV system with reactive power compensation control under the varying load conditions at the PCC. The research work recommends the integration of compensating device in the grid connected distribution system so as to supply variable reactive power as per load demand and to reduce dependency on the grid. The entire modelling is done on MATLAB and the various simulation results are obtained by varying the active and reactive power of the load. The simulation results obtained shows the efficacy of the proposed control algorithm in the studied system and it is observed that with proper coordination between grid, solar PV inverter and the compensating device the power requirement of the load is fulfilled.
