Sample Criteria for Integration of Solar Plant Systems to Electrical Distribution Network

In the last decades distributed generation became very popular in consequence of its low investment costs and easy installations. Nonetheless distributed generation and its requirements is not a literally well-known topic by the electricity regulators, distribution system operators and supply companies in Turkey. The aim of this paper is to be develop a criterion for connection of solar power plant systems to electrical distribution network and defining technical boundaries as a regard to national procedures and standards. This report provides a schematic overview of the connection conclusions. The connection steps were applied as a result of the current legislations and policies in national electricity regulations. Solutions were also presents an overview of solar plant integration and analyze the impacts of them using load-flow and short-circuit analysis methods. As a result of the methodology some unexpected problems or damages in the network could be prevented.
