Extra Reactive Power Analysis on a Distribution Grid with High Integration of PV Generation

Reactive Power Control on a Consumer Unit with High Integration of PV Generation

“…When the generated extra reactive power charges were compared to the raw economy provided by the DER employment, less than 91% of the one-hour intervals showed to cause extra reactive charges greater than 15% of the generated raw economy. None of the estimated proportional charges showed to be greater than 25% (Pompermayer et al, 2019).…”

“…This paper investigated whether it is suitable to control the facility power factor by generating reactive power in the DER inverters. The study employed data from Pompermayer et al (2019) to evaluate what would be the campus power factor with the DER power factor control.…”

“…The authors have estimated what would have been the generated active energy in each one-hour interval and compared to the consumed active and reactive energy. DOI: 10.48011/sbse.v1i1.2263 A signicant power factor decrease was observed during the day-light time, which suggests that the PV generation aects the metered power factor (Pompermayer et al, 2019). Despite this behavior, the authors concluded that the nancial impacts are not as signicant as it may seem.…”

“…Since all the reactive power demanded by the fed equipment keeps owing from the external grid, the power factor seen by the distributor meter may be decreased. Knowing that Brazilian medium voltage fed facilities must keep a high power factor, the authors have previously applied the Brazilian regulation to evaluate the nancial impacts of the extra reactive power charges caused by the DER (Pompermayer et al, 2019).…”

“…In Pompermayer et al (2019), the authors studied the new power factor behavior of the Goiabeiras Campus, employing consumption data from February 22nd, 2015…”
