Major Issues Grid integration on Solar pv plant

Reactive power Requirement

• 
  Should evaluate the reactive power capability of the PV plant and should check whether PV plant is providing sufficient reactive support according to grid code requirements at the interconnection point.
  
• 
  Vary the PU Voltage at PCC to determine the reactive power required to meet the grid code requirements and identify if additional compensation is required to achieve this
  
• 
  Poor power factor-increases line losses & makes voltage regulation more difficult.
  
• 
  Voltage-regulating mode provide power factor correction.
  

CEA GUIDELINES: Generating units located near load center has allowed power factor of LSS plant range is 0.85 lagging to 0.95 leading & Generating units located far from the load center has Allowed power factor range of 0.9 lagging to 0.95 leading
