Накратко на български

Слънчевите паркове се изследват, за да се създадат методи за управление, които да подпомагат електрическата мрежа при сривове. Това е важно, за да може в енергийната система да се интегрира по-голямо количество възобновяема енергия и да се намалят въглеродните емисии.

Photovoltaic Control and Integration

The sustainable development plan in the EU and the worldwide commitments against climate change dictate decarbonisation of the energy sector by integrating massive amounts of renewable energy sources. Among the various renewables, the solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has shown excellent potential for high integration in both rural and urban environment, but currently faces important limitations that do not allow “too much” solar to be incorporated into our electrical network. This is mainly because we cannot control when the sun shines (e.g. no generation during the night) and because the solar PV systems are not “grid-friendly”, i.e. they cannot assist the grid during electrical disturbances. If these technical limitations, similar to other renewables too, are not overcome we will never manage to integrate the necessary high levels of solar into the electrical network and will fail our decarbonisation targets. The PVCI project aims to investigate these technical challenges and come up with control methods to transform the PV parks into more “grid-friendly” power stations that will allow much higher deployment levels into the power system. More specifically, a major objective of the project is to develop smart control strategies for the solar park towards provision of “ancillary services” to the network, i.e. to be able to support the electric grid during faults and other disturbances. Another main goal is to develop the proper modelling framework to study complicated “dynamic phenomena” related to the operation of PV systems, so as to assess how much solar we can deploy. The results of this project serve as a useful tool and guide to increase the amount of solar integrated into our power system, contributing to our sustainable targets and the leader position EU holds in the PV industry.

Цел на проекта

According to the ""Europe 202 strategy"", Europe should increase the use of photovoltaics (PV) and other renewable energy sources (RES) for a sustainable future. However, to this day, PV plants are not-controllable power sources, thus imposing limits on PV penetration due to technical restrictions.The PVCI project will investigate these limitations and will provide solutions through a coordinated PV control strategy for combined frequency and voltage regulation. The two main objectives are: (a) development of a smart inverter control scheme to provide ancillary services to the grid, and (b) derivation of an enhanced network management strategy to coordinate PV plants and other network equipment for smooth and optimal grid operation. This is a holistic approach to the problem, simultaneously addressing frequency and voltage regulation, as opposed to the research made so far which treats these issues separately.The research is very timely, as the leading PV deployment faces stagnation and several European countries have already reached their upper limits in PV penetration. This project is aligned with the European strategy to be more resource efficient and less energy-dependent on other countries.The Researcher obtained very recently his PhD degree on PV modeling and control, and wishes to enhance his portfolio on the fields of distributed generation and power systems. He has derived PV models that will be useful for this research and has already started investigating these topics, while the Supervisor has international research reputation in renewable energy integration and so is the best option for this cooperation. The fellowship will significantly contribute to the Researcher's professional development, through outstanding training, public engagement, dissemination of results and 2-way transfer of knowledge with the Host’s research group.""
