Abstract

Renewable energy (RE) integration are the key elements for sustainble power systems. Nevertheless, their integration brings about numerous challenges that impact the power quality, security, and reliability of the power network. Owing to their unpredictible variation, RE sources introduces the need for additional auxiliary support. Voltage regulation is among the key variables that defines the permissibility of the level of RE integration. One of the major power grid sensitivities towards a catastrophic instability is during the occurrence of fault. This paper presents the efficacy of utilizing the reactive power capability of PV inverters towards facilitating voltage recovery during grid fault conditions. A control curve is utilized that establishes the relation between the active-reactive power with the bus voltage. The proposed strategy is validated on a 6-bus radial distribution system that is integrated with solar PV farm considering various location of the 3-phase to ground fault. Based on the results obtained the proposed controller is able to achieve voltage recovery in all the cases.
