Quasi-static Power Flow and Fault Analysis of Photovoltaic Farm

Abstract

This report first analysis quasi static power flow for photovoltaic power plant. Then, fault analysis for different symmetrical and asymmetrical fault is done. The system used is IEEE 39 bus New England system that a Photovoltaic farm with 500 MW power is connected to bus 24. Newton-Raphson Power flow method is used with Gauss-Jordan elimination method for matrix inversion in this power flow analysis. Different operation condition including faults are also considered for fault at bus 16. The results are validated with simulation in MATLAB software.
