Abstract
With increasing demand for energy, the goal to reduce fossil-fuel dependence can be addressed in multiple ways: renewable-energy generation system, storage technologies, demand response, etc. For the developed countries, it is high time to introduce renewable energy such as solar in the power system dominated nowadays by thermal power plants using mainly fossil fuel. This paper expands the modeling and simulation of a power system in the view of large-scale photovoltaic integration into an unstable grid. Burkina Faso National Network Interconnection power system has been taken as a case study. Besides, the study aims to provide a predictive tool which consists to model the entire grid using flexible software and perform simulations to understand better the behavior of the grid under different operation conditions. Afterwards, the model and simulation have been performed using Simpower System Tool box and Matlab/Simulink scripts, and the model has been validated by comparison simulation results with real grid data provided by SONABEL, the electrical utility company of Burkina Faso.
