1 IEA PVPS International Energy Agency Implementing Agreement on Photovoltaic Power Systems Task V Grid Interconnection of Building Integrated and Other Dispersed Photovoltaic Power Systems Report IEA PVPS T5-01:1998 UTILITY ASPECTS OF GRID CONNECTED PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SYSTEMS December 1998 Prepared by: Bas Verhoeven KEMA Nederland B.V.

2 Utility Aspects of Grid Connected Photovoltaic Power Systems Page CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The conclusions and recommendations of the individual subjects are given at the end of each chapter. Table 1 shows an overview of the subjects that can be categorised as solved. For these subjects the number of remaining technical questions is (nearly) zero. Some of the subjects grouped in the column solved may however still be under discussion in some countries. For those situations the information provided in this report may be used as an international reference. Table 1 Overview of the technical status of the subject described in this report Solved Need for further research Harmonics for single inverter Harmonics with multiple inverters AC Modules Effects on power network with multiple inverters and ground fault detection of PV-systems Lightning induced overvoltages EMI of inverters Reclosing External disconnect Isolation transformer and DC-injection Islanding of inverters in a part of the network From the table it must be concluded that the issue of multiple PV-inverters is the main unresolved subject. It is advised to continue to study the behaviour of multiple inverters and the effects of high penetration levels of PV-systems in a relatively small electrical network, for example a residential area. The need for this research is clearly identified in almost all Task V participating countries. Examples can be found in the Olympic village in Australia, the village S ringen in Denmark and a residential area with 1 MW in the Netherlands.
3 Utility Aspects of Grid Connected Photovoltaic Power Systems Page ANNEX B SYSTEM GROUNDING SUMMARY The for grounding of PV system components and PV systems are often the least understood design parameter in the system. PV Systems may be required to be grounded, double insulated, or may not require a system ground. The rules for grounding may depend on system size or categories of installations, such as low voltage, self contained, or utility-tied. The following lists the for grounding of PV systems in eight participating IEA countries. PV Array (Conductive Frame) PV Source Circuit Batteries Associated with PV Array Conductive Battery Support Structure Inverter with Conductive case, Requirement Inverter Active Circuit Conductors Are Center-Tapped DC Systems Allowed Are High Resistance s Allowed t if fuse in both + and earth connections Recommended for lightning, Prohibited for certain classes earthing and isolation transformer ne Recommended for Lightning.
