Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations.
The control of voltage levels is accomplished by managing the generation or consumption of reac- tive power in the electric system. Since PV inverters have reactive power capability, they can provide immediate reactive power support to the grid for voltage regulation.
The electric vehicle’s overall efficiency can be augmented through the implementation of the regenerative braking system (RBS), which serves to extend the drive range.
A PVSG power plant requires the integration of an energy storage system with the PV. The energy storage can be connected to the PV inverter on the AC or DC side respectively as shown in Fig.1. For the AC-coupled PVSG system , the energy storage device is connected to the AC side by a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter.
Besides keeping the inverter connected, the PV power stations are required to support grid voltage recovery through the injection of reactive power according to the standard requirements (Ali et al., 2015, Commission Malaysia (ECM), 2017, Ding et al., 2016, Shah et al., 2015).
