Abstract
Introduction. The article examines the influence of microgeneration facilities based on photovoltaic converters on power quality indicators associated with positive and negative voltage deviation, as well as the influence of a technical device for regulating output power on these indicators. Goal. Determination of the influence of micro-generation facilities based on PV on power quality indicators associated with slow voltage changes, and a study using a mathematical model of a technical solution for regulating the output power of PV through the installation of positioning systems.
Materials and methods. The work used a simulation approach, according to which the method of mathematical modeling was applied.
Results and discussion. When considering cases of various levels of implementation of microgeneration facilities based on PV, the likelihood of a negative impact of microgeneration facilities on the voltage values in the nodes of the electrical network was identified.
Conclusion. Based on the results of the study, we can conclude that changing the output power of photovoltaic converters makes it possible to mitigate the disadvantages of introducing microgeneration facilities associated with increased voltage and improve the quality of electricity in low-voltage electrical distribution networks.
