Assessing Protection Systems for Solar PV Penetration Across Different Locations to Enhance Grid Stability and Reliability
Adding solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to the grid can help make the grid more stable and reliable, but it can also be hard to do. Knowing how well security systems work becomes very important as the use of solar panels grows in many different areas of the world. The point of this study is to look at different security methods that can be used in different places to make the grid more stable and reliable as the use of solar PV grows. A thorough study of all the available papers on safety systems for solar PV integration and grid stability is part of the research approach. Real-world data from a number of places with different amounts of sun radiation, grid systems, and rules and regulations are also looked at. This method with many parts lets us understand how security systems work in a more complex way when things go wrong. One important part of the study is testing how well safety systems can keep the grid from becoming unstable when solar PV production changes. Intermittent sun radiation can cause voltage and frequency changes that can mess up grid operations and make them less reliable. By looking at how security systems dealt with these problems, we can learn more about how well they keep the grid stable. In addition, the study looks at how solar PV systems work with current grid safety devices like inverters, switches, and circuit breakers. For faults to be found, isolated, and fixed quickly and correctly, these parts must work together in the best way possible. This cuts down on downtime and makes the grid more resilient.
