Can photovoltaic panels support distribution network failures?: Harmonic analysis in a colombian microgrid

Support of distribution system with distributed generation and microgeneration solar panels and the operation of microgrid isolated, are topics of current research. Photovoltaic systems can be a solution to ensure uninterrupted supplies to the user and becomes a backup for failures in the distribution system. This operation has to support isolated load variations, affecting the Photovoltaic array performance and stability in the operation of the microgrid. This paper shows operation of the photovoltaic array through the MPPT algorithm and an analysis of system harmonic distortion for variations in the load.
