Session Title: Integration of Photovoltaic Power into Distribution Grids: Advanced Topologies and Control Strategies
The integration of distributed energy, such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind power, into the distribution network, has significant environmental benefits and leads to carbon neural of future power generating units. The increased level of renewable energy in the grid throws various challenges associated with power system stability. The integration of distributed generations can provide solutions to these challenges in the context of the conventional grid transition towards smart grid. The solar energy is being widely used in the distribution networks for consumption in industrial and residential applications due to the diminution in installation cost, static design, low maintenance cost, no fuel cost, and small size as a result of skill development, emerging technologies, and market penetration. The PV based integration procedure is a feasible methodology during the future expansion of PV/other distributed energy integration. For this, widespread investigations have been performed on advanced power electronic converter topologies and high performance control methods, etc. The aim of this special session is to concentrate all related contributions on PV power integration into distributed grids to provide a common environment for presentation and discussion on their emerging research and development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
