Abstract

Power quality of electric networks with high penetration of photovoltaic systems has been analyzed in different publications. It has been noted that inverters may increase their harmonic emissions when connected to weak networks, this harmonics may affect other equipments connected to the network and decreasing their performance. This document shows the effects of connecting multiple photovoltaic generators in a network through simulations using MATLAB-Simulink SimPowerSystems.
