Abstract
This paper presents a power quality analysis of a 50 MW photovoltaic (PV) power plant connected to a 220 kV overhead transmission line in a Southeast European country. The analysis covers a seven-day measurement period. Voltage quality is assessed in accordance with the requirements of the grid codes of three transmission system operators (TSOs) in Southeast Europe. In contrast, current quality was evaluated following the IEEE Std. 2800. The results show that PV power plants, as nonlinear sources of electrical energy, slightly influence power quality parameters, particularly through the generation of harmonics. Continuous monitoring of power quality parameters is important to ensure complian... More >
