Power Quality Improvement in Grid Connected Solar Energy For Harmonic Analysis

Abstract

Though the efficiency of electricity production from Grid Connected Solar Energy (GCSE) is lower than conventional resources, but it is the need of time to move towards green form of power. The conventional resources are depleting with rapid pace and moreover they have high carbon emission which leads to global warming. As the remedy to this solar had emerged as an effective solution and as the result of enormous research in the solar technology, its mass deployment is now economical and efficient. The key issues which were the hurdles in its mass deployments namely; power quality improvement, synchronization, power flow monitoring and availability of neutral line for harmonics mitigation has been addressed to a great extent. This work also presents the quality enhancement of large solar plant in grid-connected mode under the condition of linear and non-linear loads. The components used and control strategies are briefly discussed to develop the GCSE system.
