研究目的
Investigating the utilization of PV inverters instead of conventional reactive power compensation units for reactive power compensation in low voltage systems, considering both technical and economic aspects.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that PV inverters can effectively compensate for reactive power in low voltage systems, offering both technical and economic benefits over conventional RPCUs. However, the choice between increasing inverter size or reducing active power injection depends on the specific system requirements and cost considerations.
研究不足
The study is limited to a specific real-life system and may not cover all possible scenarios in low voltage power systems. The economic evaluation is based on current electricity prices and may vary with market changes.
