Basics of solar system integration into distribution grid

This course gives you immediate access to 11 videos about PV system integration.

The first part of the course talks about solar irradiance modeling. In it, you will learn about the most important parameters for solar power plant electricity output, how to calculated the generated power and how to choose a solar panel and inverter from a vast range of products. This part contains two videos with their combined length being about 40 minutes. This part contains these video:

1. Integrating solar power plant to the distribution grid overview
2. Solar irradiance modeling

The second part of the course talks about the connection of a solar power plant to the distribution network. In it, a 1.25MW power solar power plant will be integrated into the grid, the optimal cable size will be selected, voltage fluctuations will be evaluated. You will also learn how to control the voltage level, how to calculate short circuit current, how to mitigate current and voltage harmonics, how to compensate reactive power, and how to select proper protection devices for the PV system. This part contains nine videos with their combined length being about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This part contains these video:

1. Theory AC cable selection and ampacity ratings
2. Integrating the new solar power plant and AC cable selection
3. Theory voltage fluctuations
4. Voltage fluctuations using EA-PSM
5. Short circuits
6. Theory harmonics
7. Harmonic mitigation and reactive power compensation
8. Selecting protection devices
9. Report example

After the course, you will be able to perform all the calculations needed to guarantee a successful connection of a PV system. In addition, you will be able to create a report for integrating a solar power plant. A report can be found at eapsm.net/solar-power-plant-feasibility-study/

This is a video course which means that you will get access to prerecorded videos. You will be able to go through the course at your own pace and come back to it at any time.
