Abstract

In this paper, control of active as well as reactive power of solar PV generation with load following is
discussed. Here a method to model solar PV and grid-connected inverter for the same is discussed. Controlling of active
power in load following mode is possible only when there is enough generation is available during daytime, while
controlling of reactive power can be achieved at day and night time also. This paper explores capability of static
converters to supply both active and reactive power as per the demands. All the simulations are done in MATLAB,
Simpowersystems.
