This is the third of five articles in the series “Reactive Power in Utility-Scale Solar PV Applications.” Here’s the last article – “Reactive Power and Transmission & Distribution Operations” – in case you need to catch up.
Inverters are a key component of any Inverter-Based Resources (IBR) facility, including utility-scale solar PV. Because of their ability […]
This is the second of five articles in the series “Reactive Power in Utility-Scale Solar PV Applications.”
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the differences and relationship between real, reactive, and apparent power. We also looked at the production and absorption of reactive power by equipment such as transformers, reactors, and capacitors.
Before we […]
This is the first of five articles in the series “Reactive Power in Utility-Scale Solar PV Applications.”
Right after I started my first job out of college, I found myself presenting at a meeting and talking about reactive power and VArs. These were very senior-level engineers, and, although I didn’t recognize it at the time, never […]
In September 2023, SEIA and Wood Mackenzie released its “Solar Market Insight Report Q3 2023” report. The report projects more than 20 GW of additions in utility-scale solar in 2023, up from 11.8 GW in 2022.
Last month, EIA reported that nearly 17 GW of utility-scale solar was added in the first half of 2023.
These reports […]
Georgia has been hit hard by unscrupulous solar businesses, particularly in the residential space. Misinformation about solar has been spread to homeowners far and wide. There are even quite a few solar systems out there that don’t work properly due to poor installation practices. In the state ranked 7th in the nation for total solar […]
