As solar photovoltaic penetration increases, the role of these grid support services becomes ever more critical, requiring innovative solutions, conducive regulatory frameworks, and a thriving market structure to support the continuously evolving energy landscape. 1. Introduction
Voltage control ancillary services from PVPPs Preserving the voltage stability in a grid is regarded as an essential ancillary service by system operators. With decoupled power control, solar PV inverters can provide the grid with fast and dynamic reactive power (Q) support.
In 2023, with 473 GW of new solar PV installations, solar PV power accounted for nearly 73% of the annual installed RE capacity and contributed 5.5% to global energy production . By the end of 2023, the total global installed PV capacity reached 1412 GW, the majority of which is grid-connected .
With decoupled power control, solar PV inverters can provide the grid with fast and dynamic reactive power (Q) support. Even though conventional generators and WPPs have traditionally been considered for voltage regulation, of late, PVPPs have emerged as a contender for providing flexible, reactive power services .
