Abstract

As solar power is an intermittent source of energy; it causes uncertainties when connected to the electrical grid. This work presents a volt-var regulation method for integrating large-scale solar which will result in a power system with improved reliability indices: System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), and Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI). A time-varying load profile of a solar bus will be used to test the changes in reliability indices in the 110 kV reliability network model. Reliability analysis of a comparative study between a network without solar PV, with solar PV, and solar PV with volt-var regulation will be carried out for analysis of SAIFI, SAIDI, and CAIDI indices with respect to the IEEE Standard. The contribution from the authors will be the modeling and development of a smart inverter with a volt-var regulation function in the solar bus to improve reactive power flow in the 110 kV industrial network model in Siemens PSS SINCAL.
