How to model a central station solar PV plant?
Modeling a central station solar PV plant begins with setting up an accurate power flow representation of the plant. Without one, it is difficult to accurately assess the performance of the dynamic model. Next, the plant’s mode of operation is defined and the corresponding dynamic model invocation is specified.
Do solar PV power plants have dynamic electrical performance?
The models must provide a reasonably good representation of dynamic electrical performance of solar photovoltaic power plants at the point of interconnection with the ≥ 60 kV electric system, and not necessarily within the solar PV power plant itself.
What dynamic models are used for solar PV plants?
WECC approved the use of two generic dynamic models for solar PV plants: (a) a model consisting of plant controller, electrical controls, and grid interface modules intended for large-scale solar PV plants; and (b) a simplified model intended for distribution-connected, aggregated solar PV plants.
What is a dynamic model for a central station solar PV plant?
The dynamic model for a central station solar PV plant includes 2 or 3 modules and has between 45 and 75 unique parameters, depending on whether a plant controller is in place. The resulting model has a high degree of flexibility and can be configured in over 30 unique modes of operation.
How does AC system strength affect a central station solar PV plant?
The ac system strength at a central station solar PV plant’s point of interconnection (POI) has a significant impact on the interaction between the plant and the grid. For inverter- coupled renewable generation plants, a simple measure of ac system strength is the Short-Circuit Ratio (SCR).
What makes a good solar PV plant model?
A satisfactory solar PV plant model produces simulated output that matches measured data for an array of different disturbances and power output levels, not just a select data set used to train the model. A good practice is to reserve certain data sets and use them for model evaluation only, meaning they are not used to tune the model parameters.
