Abstract

Over the last few years, a dynamic increase in the installed capacity of distributed energy sources has been observed, with the largest share being photovoltaic sources. The power grid is a system of connected vessels, and changing the structure of electricity production has a specific impact on the operation of this network, which makes it necessary to study the impact of the sources on the power system. The current and projected increase in the number of connected installations will make the issues of interaction and cooperation of distributed sources with the network extremely important. The article presents an analysis of the impact of a photovoltaic farm on selected parameters of the quality of electricity supply. This analysis was made on the basis of simulation results in a computer program and measurement tests carried out on a real photovoltaic farm with a capacity of 1.8 MW connected to the medium voltage power grid. The impact of the farm-generated power on the values of fundamental indicators of the quality of electricity supply, such as voltage deviations, voltage asymmetry factors, and voltage distortions factors, is presented. These relationships were determined based on the correlation and regression analysis of individual electrical quantities.
