PV System (ElmPvsys) 3
1 General Description

1 General Description

The Photovoltaic System element (ElmPvsys) is an easy-to-use model based on the Static
Generator element (ElmGenstat). The PV System element models an array of photovoltaic
panels, connected to the grid through a single inverter. The main difference with the static
generator, is that the PV System provides an option to automatically estimate the active power
setpoint, given the geographical location, date and time.

The description of the following functions supported by PowerFactory can be found in the Tech-
nical Reference of the Static Generator:

- Load Flow Analysis

- Short Circuit Analysis

- Optimal Power Flow

- Harmonics Analysis
- Stability/Electromagnetic Transients Analysis

1.1 Basic Data

1.1.1 Model for Active Power Calculation

The active power value can be specified directly by the user through the option Active Power
Input, or it can be automatically calculated, given the data of the solar panel type, the arrange-
ment of the solar array, the local time and date, and optionally irradiance data, with the option
Solar Calculation.

When the option Solar Calculation is used, the active power is calculated according to the
Section 2.

Figure 1.1: Photovoltaic System

PV System (ElmPvsys) 4
1 General Description

1.1.2 Number of Parallel Inverters

The number of parallel inverters can be entered, as well as the MVA rating of a single inverter.
In general, the total MW and Mvar outputs of the PV System will be the rating of a single PV
Array multiplied by the number of parallel inverters specified.

1.1.3 Number of Panels Per Inverter

For each PV System, which contains a single inverter, a number of panels can be entered. The
panels can be connected either in parallel, series or in series-parallel combination. The PV
System models the solar array viewed from the grid side.

1.2 Load Flow Analysis

In addition to the Load Flow parameters and analysis described in the Static Generator Tech-
nical Reference, there are additional options for the local controller, which are explained in the
following sections.

1.2.1 Local Controller

The local voltage controller could be set to five different modes (Power Factor, Voltage, Droop,
Q(V)-Characteristic, cosphi(P)-Characteristic). The three first modes are described in the Static
Generator Technical Reference. The last two are described in the following sub chapters.

Q(V)-Characteristic
The Q(V) characteristic is a reactive power control and follows a specified characteristic as
shown in Figure 1.2. U min and U max correspond to the lower and upper voltage deadband
limit.

Figure 1.2: Q(V)-Characteristic

The local controller acts as a reactive power controller with a variable setpoint. While the refer-
ence voltage is within the deadband, the entered reactive power setpoint is kept. If the reference
voltage leaves the deadband, the reactive power setpoint is adapted according to the droop en-
tered by the user and the voltage deviation from the respective end of the deadband.

PV System (ElmPvsys) 5
2 Solar Calculation

cosphi(P)-Characteristic
The cosphi(P) characteristic is a power factor control and follows a specified characteristic
as shown in Figure 1.3. The local controller acts as a power factor controller, where the power
factor is determined from the characteristic for the input active power flow.

Figure 1.3: cosphi(P)-Characteristic

2 Solar Calculation

The active power output of a single PV System, i.e. an array of panels connected to the grid
through a single inverter is calculated based on irradiance input data and the local time and
date.

The following equations for the panel and system output are proposed in [5].

Eg,pv Ppk,panel rel inv

Ppanel = (1)
EST D

and

Psystem = Ppanel numpanels (2)

Where:

Ppanel is the active power output of the panel in kW

Psystem is the single system active power output in kW
numpanels is the number of panels per inverter
Eg,pv is the global irradiance on the plane of the array in W/m2 . See Sections 2.1 to 2.5
EST D is the standard irradiance value of 1000W/m2
Ppk,panel is the total rated peak power of the solar panel in kW
rel is the relative efficiency of the panel, unit-less. See Section 2.6
inv is the efficiency factor of the inverter, unit-less

PV System (ElmPvsys) 6
2 Solar Calculation

The geometrical calculation of the global irradiance on an inclined surface is proposed in [1] and
[3].

2.1 Angle of Incidence

The first step in the process of calculating the irradiance on the surface of the PV panel (Eg,pv ),
is to calculate the angle of incidence of the solar irradiance ((, )), which can be defined as
the angle between the solar rays and the line perpendicular to the surface of the solar panel.

This angle of incidence of the irradiance is calculated as follows:

0 J 2
Jrad = (3)
365.25

0 J 360
Jdeg = (4)
365.25

s = (12)
cos1 (coss ) if sins > 0

2.2 Tilt and Orientation Angle for Tracking Systems

It is possible to specify whether or not the panels have a fixed mounting or a tracking system.
When the panels are fixed, the user must specify the orientation and/or the tilt angles. If a track-
ing system is used, it is assumed that the angles are optimized. The optimization is calculated
according to the sections below.

2.2.1 Dual Axis Tracking System

= tracking = 90 s (15)

= tracking = s (16)

2 Solar Calculation

2.2.2 Horizontal Single Axis Tracking System

= tracking = 90 s (17)

2.2.3 Vertical Single Axis Tracking System

= tracking = s (18)

2.3 Extraterrestrial Irradiance on the Horizontal Plane

The extraterrestrial irradiance value incident on a horizontal surface corrected by the day of the
year, E0 (J), is given by

I0 = 1367w/m2 (19)

0
 = 1 + 0.03344 cos(Jrad 0.048869) (20)

E0 = I0 sin(s ) (21)

E0 (J) = I0  sins (22)

Where:

I0 is the solar constant, equal to 1367W/m2

 is the correction of the variation of the sun-earth distance from its mean value
E0 is the extraterrestrial irradiance on the horizontal plane

E0 (J) is the extraterrestrial irradiance on the horizontal plane corrected by the day of the
year

2.4 Global Irradiance on the Horizontal Plane

The global irradiance is the sum of two components: direct or beam irradiance (Eb,hor ), diffuse
irradiance (Ed,hor ). Since the values of the global irradiance and its two components are nec-
essary to calculate the global irradiance on the inclined surface of the solar panels, the value of
two components will be needed as an input from the user.

Eg,hor = Eb,hor + Ed,hor (23)

Where:

PV System (ElmPvsys) 9
2 Solar Calculation

Eg,hor is the global irradiance at the surface falling on a horizontal plane in W/m2
Eb,hor is the direct or beam irradiance on the horizontal plane in W/m2
Ed,hor is the diffuse irradiance on the horizontal plane in W/m2

The values of these irradiance components can be in the form of historical or forecasted data, or
they can be estimated through simple or complex models. The simple ones use only geometrical
methods, whereas the complex models include atmospheric factors. Implemented here are only
the simple methods, which are described in Sections 2.4.1, 2.4.2 and 2.4.3.

clearness index, KT , the horizontal irradiance is calculated by

tions, with lower values at high latitudes in winter.

Where

2.5 Global Irradiance on Inclined Surface

Finally, the global irradiance on an inclined surface, Eg,pv , is the sum of the direct (beam),
the diffuse and the ground reflected irradiance values, all of them on the plane of the inclined
surface, and affected by respective overshading factors.
