Reactive Power based LCOE Analysis

    SgurrEnergy: Reactive Power based LCOE Analysis

    Reactive Power based LCOE Analysis

    The renewable energy sector’s growth in the next 5 years is set to skyrocket according to International Energy Agency (IEA) report1 with Solar Photovoltaic (PV) energy technologies leading the way. This high penetration of Solar PV energy being fed into the electrical grid brings in its share of challenges and is making the grid more and more vulnerable, and unstable, which needs a definitive solution.

    The presentation addresses one such challenge, of voltage profile improvement with reactive power compensation at the point of interconnection. The main concern is that solar PV plant PPA’s are with a rating of MWac/MWp and not MVA. IEEE Std 1547/UL 1741 compliant inverters will typically not have reactive power capability & operate with a unity power factor. Though modern inverters are, having the capacity to supply reactive power in the range of +0.8 lead/-0.8 lag, albeit the PV plant is rated based on the AC power supplied by the inverter at unity PF. This leads to an inherent error in the per-unit cost calculation, as when the inverter is providing the reactive power the active power is hampered.

    The paper highlights a cost base analysis of various scenarios such as inverters working at unity power factor, plants working with capacitor banks compensation, plants working with an excess number of inverters & plants providing reactive power support with small reactive compensation equipment & a small number of extra inverters. It is concluded that the latter case is the most cost effective and economical.

    Committed to Achieving the Global Vision of a Carbon-Neutral Planet

      SgurrEnergy: Committed To Achieving the Global Vision of a Carbon-Neutral Planet

      Committed to Achieving the Global Vision of a Carbon-Neutral Planet

      We have been featured in the APAC Business Headlines magazine Oct 2022 edition.

      The planet is warming up. Sea levels are rising, glaciers are melting, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is struggling to keep up. And the main driver of today’s warming is the increasing emission of greenhouse gases. It has become evident that the majority of the warming over the last century is caused by these heat-trapping gases known as greenhouse gases. Now, to avoid the worst effects of climate change, the world must reduce net carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2050. It also necessitates a rapid global deployment of renewable energy.

      So, as the world progresses toward clean energy adoption and rapid energy transition, SgurrEnergy, a leading engineering consultancy specializing in renewable energy projects, has been an enabler in assisting corporations and governments worldwide in realizing their green energy goals. It offers unparalleled advisory, design and multidisciplinary engineering expertise in the development of sustainable engineering solutions, ensuring the highest quality while adhering to strict budget constraints, completing projects on time, and with favorable project economics. “SgurrEnergy’s advisory experts fully comprehend the challenges and dynamics of the global renewable energy industry and extend the thorough benefit to the project developers, owners, and lenders in developing and implementing high-performance renewable energy projects,” opines Arif Aga, the Director of SgurrEnergy.
