Photovoltaic Power

In 2017, electricity generation from renewable sources contributed more than one quarter (30.7%) to total EU-28 gross electricity consumption. Wind power is for the first time the most important source, followed closely by hydro power. The growth in electricity from photovoltaic energy has been dramatic, rising from just 3.8 TWh in 2007, reaching a level of 119.5 TWh in 2017. Over this period, the contribution of photovoltaic energy to all electricity generated in the EU-28 from renewable energy sources increased from 0.7% to 12.3%. During this period the investment cost of a photovoltaic power plant has decreased considerably. Fundamentally, the cost of solar panels and inverters has decreased by more than 50%. The solar photovoltaic energy potential depends on two parameters: global solar irradiation and photovoltaic panel efficiency. The average solar irradiation in Spain is 1,600 kWh m-2. This paper analyzes the economic feasibility of developing large scale solar photovoltaic power plants in Spain. Equivalent hours between 800-1,800 h year-1 and output power between 100-400 MW have been considered. The profitability analysis has been carried out considering different prices of the electricity produced in the daily market (50-60 € MWh-1). Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) were estimated for all scenarios analyzed. A solar PV power plant with 400 MW of power and 1,800 h year-1, reaches a NPV of 196 M€ and the IRR is 11.01%.

Unit Model

This paper introduces the single unit model of photovoltaic (PV) system as the basic component for the modeling of the large-scale PV power plant. Based on the single unit model, the equivalent models of the large-scale PV power plant are presented in two different situations. As the general situation of the two in which the parameters of the inverter controllers are different, a clustering and equivalent modeling method based on the characteristic distance of parameter sensitivity is proposed. Finally, the simulation cases are provided to verify the effectiveness of the equivalent models.

The paper proposed control strategies for a large-scale photovoltaic power plant in different operating modes in order to improve the utilization of solar energy and power quality of the integration. Take one 3MW photovoltaic power plant as an example, the energy storage device was used as the node to provide frequency and voltage support during the switching period. Then the photovoltaic power generation simulation model was built based on the MW level photovoltaic power plant’s information and data on the PSCAD/EMTDC software platform. This model achieved a coordinated control between photovoltaic power generation and the grid under different operating modes. The simulation result also proved the effectiveness of the control strategies and the significance in ensuring the reliability of power supply and grid stability.
