Abstract:Currently, there is a rapid growth in the installation of photovoltaic solar systems in power distribution systems. The functionalities of smart inverters can bring benefits in the operational performance of the network. In this work, the influence of the smart inverters control functions: fixed power factor; Volt-VAr; and Volt-Watt, is evaluated in the voltage regulation of the network, assuming various operating scenarios. For this, power flows are simulated considering quasi-static time-series that incorpor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
