Abstract

The stochastic behavior of PV together with high PV penetration have given rise to power quality concerns involving voltage dynamic issues such as undervoltage, overvoltage, sag and swell. To ensure the grid’s stability, various methods have been practiced such as a proper sizing of the grid lines and the installation of power quality compensation equipment. However, these measures often require high costs and high control complexity due to additional equipment being involved such as multiple transformers and inverters. Moreover, the current available reactive power compensation equipment has a lesser impact on distribution level networks. Therefore, this work proposes a hybrid control of grid-feeding mode and energy storage with Direct Current (DC) fault detection scheme utilizing fuzzy control to mitigate high PV penetration problems, PV intermittency and faults via active power compensation to maintain the system’s voltage within its nominal range. This hybrid control works on two mode of operations: strategic power dispatch by the grid-feeding mode to solve under and overvoltage caused by inconsistent PV generation. Meanwhile, the utilization of fuzzy control aims to solve PV intermittency and line faults. The novel hybrid control has proven its capability to solve voltage dynamic problems caused by high PV penetration, intermittency and faults in the network within a shorter timeframe.
