Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to research the effect of interconnection a photovoltaic power system PVPS with a power system on a bus voltage. This work is accomplished by using a modified Gauss-Seidel method. The modification presents PVPS as a negative load which means when a PVPS is connected – to a generator bus.  And the real power generated from it must be added to the generated power. On the other hand if PVPS is connected to a load bus. The power generated from it is subtracted from the real power of this load. The study of this integration is programmed for various sites of PVPS on a power system. And for different sizes of PVPS. The results of this study show that the insertion of PVPS on a power system has a pronounced effect on the active and reactive components of bus voltages. Besides, it has an effect on the absolute value of the buses voltages.
