Grid Connection: The single line diagram shows how the solar power plant is connected to the grid. It includes the connection points, such as a point of common coupling (PCC) or a substation, where the power generated by the solar plant is injected into the grid. 6.
Grid connection for commercial solar power plants is often 11 kV or higher, so it’s usually necessary to step up the voltage using one or more transformers. The type of transformer should be selected based on the required capacity, its position within the electrical system, and the physical location and environmental conditions of the site.
The solar power plant should be equipped with a synchronizing unit with a proper phase-locked loop to keep the inverter synchronized with the grid to deliver the right amount of power within permissible operational frequency and voltage variations. The rating and short-circuit duties of the switchgear shall comply with the Grid Code requirements.
Depending on its capacity, a solar plant can be connected to LV, MV, or HV networks. Successful connection of a medium-scale solar plant should satisfy requirements of both the Solar Energy Grid Connection Code (SEGCC) and the appropriate code: the Electricity Distribution Code (EDC) or the Grid Code (GC) as the connection level apply.
The solar power plant must possess an input signal for a set-point value at the PCC in order to control the reactive power or power factor of the plant. It is able to receive the set point within reactive power accuracy of 1 kVAr. The set-point signal will be provided by the TSO through verbal communication or SCADA, whichever is available.
Two codes have been issued in Egypt for connecting solar power plants to electricity networks: The first one is ssPV code which stipulates the special requirements for the connecting small-scale photovoltaic systems (with rating < 500 kW) to low-voltage distribution networks .
