The afternoon of 13 November 2016, the Sunday before the start of the Solar Integration Workshop, will be dedicated to tutorial lectures held by researchers of Aalborg University and live test cases on a large photovoltaic inverter located at AIT, the Austrian Institute of Technology in Vienna.
The objective of this tutorial is to offer a review of essential aspects involved in the operation and smart grid integration of modern PV power plants. A review of the PV panel technology will offer a vision of the operation and performance of the most important PV technologies currently installed by integrators. The elements in charge of processing power in PV power plants, inverters will be presented by describing both their hardware and control structures. Integration of PV into the modern power systems will be discussed, including provision and coordination ancillary services by PV plants both on LV and MV network.
In a hands-on session, several live test cases will be performed on a large photovoltaic inverter.
This part of the tutorial will consist in:
- testing protection systems and smart grids functions (network support) such as reactive power provision, voltage control and fault ride through
- showcase the interoperable remote control of PV inverters via state of the art protocols.
