Introduction to solar resource based on photovoltaics systems and their impact on the distribution network

Abstract

The primary Objective of the research Proposed in This work is to understand the operation of solar energy, the principles of the photovoltaic effect, know the elements of photovoltaic systems and an analysis of the influence of these facilities in the distribution networks. for this I have used articles and research to support me in their results and thus be able to analyze the impact of this source. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable resources that can be used to produce electric energy through photovoltaic process. A significant advantage of photovoltaic (PV) systems is the use of the abundant and free energy from the sun. However, these systems still face major obstacles that hinder their widespread use due to their high cost and low efficiency when compared with other renewable technologies. Moreover, the intermittent nature of the output power of PV systems reduces their reliability in providing continuous power to customers. In addition, the fluctuations in the output power due to variations in irradiance might lead to undesirable performance of the electric network. The support of governments, electric utilities, researchers and consumers is the key to overcoming the aforementioned obstacles and enhancing the maturity of the technology in this field.
