A Practical Harmonic Admittance Matrix Derivation Approach for Fluctuating Power Photovoltaic Systems
Source abstract
Abstract
Due to a range of economic incentives and policy supports, distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems are accelerating their penetration into the distribution network at all voltage levels. However, the PV systems are connected to the grid via power electronic converters, which are nonlinear devices characterized by inherent harmonic emission, and their cumulative harmonic injection into the grid is detrimental to the grid power quality. Although the existing literature proves that harmonic admittance matrix (HAM)-based models can represent well the supply voltage dependence of harmonics, the conventional HAM derivation approach is based on the harmonic sensitivity tests conducted under laboratory conditions, making it infeasible for infield implementation. To address this issue, this paper starts with investigating the harmonic emission and grid interaction mechanisms of PV systems analytically, followed by analyzing the power dependency of HAMs experimentally. Based on the findings, a HAM derivation and self-tuning approach is proposed for fluctuating power PV systems, where only the infield measurements at the point of connection are needed. The model accuracy is compared against the widely used constant current source model and harmonic Norton model, while its integration approach for harmonic power flow analysis is demonstrated via the simulated European low voltage test feeder.
