Harmonic Mitigation for Enhancing Grid-Integrated Photo voltaic System Power Quality: A Review

Abstract

With the growing integration of renewable energy sources, such solar energy systems into electrical grids, power quality issues emerge from possible harmonic distortions. This study analyzes the effectiveness of grid-integrated photovoltaic systems and discusses harmonic mitigation to improve electricity quality. Power quality can be negatively impacted by harmonic distortion due to voltage swings, higher losses, and interference with delicate equipment. As a result, efficient and dependable PV system functioning inside the grid depends on the implementation of effective mitigation techniques. We examine a range of mitigation strategies, such as hybrid solutions, active filters, and passive filters, each with unique benefits and drawbacks in terms of expense, intricacy, and efficiency. The effects of integrating PV systems on grid stability, voltage regulation, and frequency management are also covered in the article, emphasizing the significance of thorough performance analysis. The effectiveness of various harmonic mitigation techniques is assessed by modeling studies and experimental validation, taking into account variables including system efficiency, dependability, and compliance with international power quality standards. The study also looks at how grid circumstances, PV system layout, and size affect harmonic generation and mitigation needs. The research yields valuable insights that aid in the formulation of strategies aimed at improving power quality and maximizing grid-integrated photovoltaic systems' performance under various operating situations.
