Optimized Power System Management Scheme for LSS PV Grid Integration in Malaysia Using Reactive Power Compensation Technique

Abstract

A large‐scale solar photovoltaic system (LSS PV) aims to reduce the gap as Malaysia plans to shift electricity generation from conventional sources like fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. The government plans to increase renewable energy to 20% of the generation mix by 2025. The first and second round of Malaysia's LSS programme has 958 MW of PV projects to be realized by 2020. The third round of the LSS program goes for an aggregate capacity of 500 MW. Being an intermittent source of energy, the major complication is with grid integration of the LSS PV system into the national power grid. This research aims to identify an optimum power system management scheme for LSS in Malaysia to stabilize voltage fluctuations by utilizing IEEE bus configuration. The simulation and planning of network type is based on PSS/E and PVSyst. The expected outcome of this research is to develop a solution for LSS grid integration with minimal loss in the system and in accordance with electricity standards as per Malaysian grid code. Additionally, the harmony of incorporating power electronic devices for reactive power compensation is tested. This work can be stated as a reference model for utility provider in other countries having similar network and grid configuration.

The hybrid RES consists of multiple RES, including PV, wind, and energy storage, which are integrated with the main grid through a power electronic converter [9]. The objective is to develop a control strategy for the STATCOM that can effectively regulate voltage and provide reactive power support to the microgrid, thereby improving its power quality.…”

Voltage profile improvement of weak grid with solar PV integration

“…B. Adewuyi et al [13] describes the design guidelines of key parameters for PVT based solar systems and a suitable energy storage approach. M. Mohanan et al [14] proposes a voltage stability-based methodology for large scale PV power penetration into the susceptible power grid. The quality of power in India is widely criticized for its large tolerance in voltage and frequency ranges of operation.…”
