6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic microgrid concept]

What is a solar microgrid?

Microgrids that include solar photovoltaics (PV) as a generating source have the ability to not only provide power when the grid is down, they can also reduce energy costs when the grid is available. For solar project designers future microgrid considerations are becoming increasingly important.

What is a PV-based microgrid?

The name implies the principle component in a PV-based microgrid is the solar PV system. However, the generated output power of a PV system is dependent on the weather condition, that is, solar irradiance and temperature; and the intermittency in the solar irradiance causes fluctuations in the generated output power of the solar PV system.

How can a microgrid improve the reliability of solar PV?

In order to overcome the problems associated with the intermittency of solar PV and enhance the reliability, energy storage systems like batteries and/or backup systems like diesel generators are commonly included in the microgrids [11, 12].

Does solar PV affect power factor in microgrids?

PV systems can affect the power factor (PF) in an electrical system and microgrids can have unique power factor needs. The solar PV project should be analyzed for PF impact and benefit from a technical and economic perspective in grid-connected and islanded modes.

What is microgrid concept?

The concept of microgrid has emerged as one of the viable means to facilitate the increased penetration of renewable energy sources into the power grid. Various initiatives have been undertaken all over the world to promote microgrid concept.

Do PV based microgrids have a negative environmental impact?

Moreover, battery energy systems are also reported to have negative environmental impacts, which is also required to be taken into consideration while sizing/designing a PV-based microgrid [48 - 50]. In Figure 3, the common design considerations for PV based microgrids have been summarised.
