onnection of PV Power Plants
• Generation profile differs from load profile
Load shifting required
• Specific generation maximum at noon
Peak shaving required
• Rolling clouds lead to sudden voltage drop and rise
Peak shaving and injection of reactive power required
• DSO / TSO desires / requires conventional power plant properties
LV fault ride through capability
Fault current capability
Participation in primary control (provision of positive and negative active power)
Provision of positive or negative reactive power
