Voltage Problems Causes and Effects in Grid Connected Photovoltaic systems in Turkey

The usage of the Photovoltaic (PV) power systems has been increased dramatically, due to the abundant of the solar irradiation, and the government incentives everywhere. In most of the developed countries, the standards for connecting the PV systems to the grid has been set and is already applied. The incentives and regulations that supports PV systems are increasing day by day in Turkey. Because of this regulations more and more PV systems are connecting to the grid. Such high penetration of the PV systems in the distribution network leads to voltage disturbances. This paper studies the causes and effects of the voltage problem and proposes the best solutions to; mitigate the voltage disturbances and increase the distribution network stability. © 2021 IEEE.
