Load carrying capability of renewable energy sources of Bangladesh Power System

At the edge of the crisis of conventional sources of energy (example oil, gas, and coal), photovoltaic (PV) cells are often stated as being the most reliable element among the renewable energy sources. However, in recent years PV cells are changing from small isolated systems to large grid-connected power stations. In this new scenario, PV cells will become possible solution to power crisis and its application as additional energy sources in power system based on reliability model will become of utmost importance. This paper presents an effective simulation method of reliability index, load carrying capability (LCC), to analyze the future effect of additional PV cells generator on Bangladesh Power System (BPS). For this reason, generator model, PV cells reliability model and load model are used to analyze the pertinent available generator data and load data of National Load Dispatch Center (NLDC) of BPS for the year of 2012. Furthermore, the effect of different uncertainty of the additional PV cells generation of 500 MW analyzed in the test simulated MATLAB environment is depicted graphically at the end.
