Abstract :
The power quality impact of a cluster of retro-fitted photovoltaic (PV) units on the local low voltage distribution network is investigated. A description is given of the network, PV installation and the measurement equipment used. Results are presented showing the effects of the PV installation on voltage level and other power quality parameters.
