Abstract

The photovoltaic (PV) solar system is one of the alternative and green energy used for generating the electricity. Several beneficial offered by the PV system are reduce gas emissions into atmosphere, lower operating and maintenance costs, easy to install and no noise pollution without using any moving part. However, some issues arise due to installation of PV to the distribution system such as power quality problems. Thus, this project aims to study the impact of PV on harmonic distortion. Two type of PV are considered in this project, which are Mono-Crystalline and Heterojunction (HIT) PV system. These two PV systems were installed at the Universiti Teknikal Melaka Malaysia (UTeM) area. All the measurement of the impact PV fluctuation and harmonic distortion has been conducted by using the Power Quality Analyzer 435 Fluke Meter and aided with solar monitoring system data lodge. This process provides the necessary results for solar irradiation, voltage, current and power generated profiles. The outcomes of this project show that the power generates and the current profile of the PV system will always depends on the solar irradiation. Meanwhile, for the voltage and harmonic profiles of the PV system are not reflecting much with the solar irradiation fluctuates. The value of the voltage and current harmonic output from both PV are complies with IEEE standard.
