The Impact of Weather Conditions on the Harmonic Behaviour of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems

The utilization of solar photovoltaic systems has seen a marked uptick in recent years. Research efforts have been geared towards improving efficiency and reducing the cost of solar PV plants. In light of concerns over the potential consequences of high penetration of PV systems, governments have been implementing renewable energy programs. This study presents a time-domain model for analyzing harmonic effects in utility-scale PV plants under varying levels of irradiance and temperature conditions.
