Abstract-This paper represent interconnection of 16 Megawatt [MW]Mega-Solar with a dedicated control system to a grid. The Photovoltaic (PV) are connected to DC/DC buck-boost converter with Perturb and Observe (P&O) Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) controller. For controlling the DC/AC inverter, reference controller (abc-controller) and hysteresis current control are used. When amount of the connected Mega-Solar increased, as a result of the simulation, it become obvious that the reactive power of main grid (weak power system) is consumed and the voltages rise at the connected bus. In this study, first we controlled the voltage and current with dedicated control system and get maximum power from Mega-Solar. Second, we interconnect our Mega-Solar site to IEEE 30 Bus Test System (Weak power system) as main grid and by decomposition control strategy solved the problem of reactive power shortage. In this paper, all simulation designed in MATLAB/SIMULINK. For simulation of an actual power system, for the first time, a simulation model of the IEEE 30 Bus Test System on the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment its developed and its effectiveness is verified through various simulation results.Index Terms-Mega-solar, interconnection, weak power system, decomposition.
I. INTRODUCTIONSince July 2012, the Japanese electric power companies agreed to purchase a huge amount of renewable energies such as solar, wind, geothermal, etc. to fulfill the lack of generation supplied by stopped nuclear power plants due to Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami occurred on March 11 th , 2011. The purchasing power from RE (renewable energy) has already started. However there are many issues and risks accompanied with such decision, however none of them really considered seriously because of rush replacement of nuclear power with attention energies.One of the renewable energy that Japanese companies consider on it seriously is Mega-Solar generation, which includes reality and problems. About reality of Mega-solar is before April 2013 the price which Japanese companies started to pay for 1 [kW] of total renewable energy was 42 yen and currently the price for 1 [kW] is 38 yen and they decided to pay for 1 [kW] 27 yen in future. It is quite natural that many companies rush to participate in the Mega-solar business also current purchase of RE in Japan is 2 times higher than Germany. Since Jan 2013, 1,024 Mega-solar plants is planned total capacity of Mega-solar will be 5.750 [GW]. This amount of capacity is equal to 6 nuclear power generation plants with total investment about 1,500 billion yen excluding land price. For this reason, many electronic and investment companies interests on Mega-Solar business. One of the problem of interconnection was stated that some Japanese electric companies have declared that many investors and contractors are rushing to contract selling their renewable energy power to the utilities. However, they can only purchase ¼ of the electricity from Mega-Solar because interconnection limitation. As a result, when huge a...
