Abstract: This paper attempts to highlight the effect of change
in load and irradiance on Photovoltaic integrated Power system
network. The Power system network considered here is IEEE 14
bus system. The simulation is done on MATLAB platform and
variation of Voltage, Power and Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD) has been studied. The results indicates that how power
quality of the power system is affected by the irradiance on
Photovoltaic cell. The study is performed considering the other
environmental factors such as wind velocity, ambient temperature
and humidity have a negligible effect on the photovoltaic module.
In a steady-state controlled environment, the simulation results
show that the output voltage, current and its power decrease with
time as the irradiance on the photovoltaic panel decreases.
Keywords: Photovoltaic cell, panel temperature, power quality,
solar irradiance.
I. INTRODUCTION
Now a days, the global power industry is transiting
towards the Renewable energy system. This is not only to
mitigate the increasing demand of power throughout the
world but also to protect the environment from adverse
effects of burning of fossil fuels. It is well known that to get a
clean as well as reliable power supply both the renewable and
renewable energy system source should be work together and
as a result the integration of Photovoltaic (PV) systems is
increasing drastically. However, utility companies may be
concerned about the implications of variable solar generation
on the power quality, its impact on the low-tension (LT)
distribution grid. Therefore, there are lot of challenges and
issues in integrating distributed energy sources like
Photovoltaic (PV) systems [1].
The grid integrated system has some responsibility to
maintain a reliable grid supply with respect to harmonics [2],
flicker [3], and DC injection [4] as they are connected to a
power system network. Hence due to the power quality
problems power converters are required for interface with
grid. Solar photovoltaic (PV) needs only power electronic
converters like DC to DC and DC to AC for interconnection.
There are three basic interfacing technologies for PV module
