After the approval of the Normative Resolution 482, in April 17 th , 2012, ANEEL has established the general conditions for microgeneration (less than or equal to 100 kW) and minigeration (greater than 100 kW and less than or equal to 1 MW), accessing the electric power distribution systems. In addition, it is established the net metering compensation system of the electric power generated. Since then, several applications for grants for connecting PV systems to the low and medium voltage grid have been performed. In this context, this paper presents the design of a 6.58 kWp photovoltaic system in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, following the standards established by that Normative Resolution and in accordance with the CEMIG ND 5.30, which establishes the criteria for connecting new micro and mini distributed generation systems to the low-voltage grid. Design criteria and results of the assessments about harmonic distortions at the point of common coupling of the installation are presented in this work.
The present paper has as its objective to optimize the reactive power in electric systems that have a photovoltaic power plant connected to it, thus aiming at improving the voltage profile of all system buses, so that they meet the values determined in the standard. For this, it is proposed to accurately determine the ideal amount of reactive power, using the genetic algorithm, in which there is no use of approximate equations, reduction of the active power of the photovoltaic source and, moreover, it allows the regulation of the voltage of all the buses in the system, being able to raise or reduce their voltage level. The proposed methodology is validated through the analysis of the 14-bus electric system from IEEE, into which a photovoltaic power plant was connected. Studies were carried out with six different load scenarios in the literature to observe the performance of the proposed algorithm. Through the analysis of the results, one concludes that the developed genetic algorithm is efficient for determining the reactive power values that result in the reduction or increase of the voltage levels of all buses in the system, allowing them to meet the values determined in the regulatory standards.
