This research project focuses on the integration of PV solar power to the existing electric grid and addresses issues and possible solutions related with such interconnection. In this research work the following aspects will primarily be considered:
This project provides useful insights into the control and operation of distributed generation systems and will help to better understand the influence of the solar plant local distribution network and improve the overall performance of solar plants. The collaboration has a combination of system analysis, hardware design and software design. As such, it builds a broad range of Power Electronics capability within Masdar Institute.
