Connecting distributed generation sources such as photovoltaic (PV) power plants to the power grid affects its operation, stability, and safety. Technical studies of the grid connection of a PV power plant are performed using an advanced simulation software based on the national network codes and standards.
Grid connected PV systems always have a connection to the public electricity grid via a suitable inverter because a photovoltaic panel or array (multiple PV panels) only deliver DC power. As well as the solar panels, the additional components that make up a grid connected PV system compared to a stand alone PV system are:
