The solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have gained more attention in renewable energy production due to their cost efficiency and reliability. Typically, reactive power compensation and harmonics elimination are challenging and demanding tasks for improving the efficacy of grid-connected solar PV systems.
In this research study, the photovoltaic system equipped with supercapacitor was investigated in order to increase renewable energy utilisation (self-consumption) and decrease grid fluctuation.
Due to long-term reliability and very-high current in a short-time, they can be used as short term power backup and grid stabilisation device. In this work a photovoltaic system working with a supercapacitor device demonstrates its large potential in self-consumption improvement and in grid stabilisation.
Already the PV system with two supercapacitors (2x100F) fully supplies the load demand during the day and the impact on the grid stability is smoothing of the energy feeding the grid profile. A larger number of supercapacitors does not influence renewable energy utilisation (directly) by the load.
Esmaili et al. have analysed energy storage with supercapacitors in order to prevent grid system frequency and voltage fluctuations caused by hardly predictable renewable energy systems. Their results show excellent fluctuation reduction in system output power.
