Sizing and optimisation of medium voltage direct current grid for linear photovoltaic systems: a practical approach
This study proposes a novel methodology for designing a Linear Photovoltaic Systems based on Medium Voltage Direct Current collection networks to minimize total costs and power losses, while satisfying operational constraints such as voltage drops, current limits. Applied to a 50 MW system, the methodology identifies 1MW spaced every 1 km, 500 mm² MVDC cables, and 4 mm² PV cables as the most cost-effective configuration.
