INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES ON INTERCONNECTION NETWORKS

Abstract

Demand for electricity is increasing due to population growth, the development of technology and the level of prosperity of communities. Coal, natural gas, oil, etc., which are called traditional sources can no longer meet this demand. In addition, these resources are harmful to the environment and have high costs. For all these reasons, the trend towards alternative energy sources is increasing. These sources are called renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, water, geothermal etc. as examples of renewable energy sources. In addition to producing enough energy, it is also necessary to use the produced energy efficiently. This is defined as the energy quality (power quality). The power quality parameters are defined to keep the obtained electric energy within certain limits in terms of quality. These parameters include; harmonic, voltage flicker, voltage deviation etc. Through this study; it has been analyzed, with the increasing number of solar power plants connecting to the network, what kind of changes occurred in the electricity network and how the solar power plants affect the network in terms of energy quality. The analysis was carried out by evaluating the one month data from a 5 MW solar power plant.
