Does reverse power flow increase or decrease voltage?

It is found that the voltage at the PV system of feeder A increases with the reverse power flow compared with the voltage at the substation. In contrast, the voltage at the PV system of feeder B decreases with the increase in the reverse power flow. Fig. 4. Voltage rise and voltage reduction due to reverse power flow.

How to reduce reverse power flow?

Minimizing reverse power flow in photovoltaic (PV) sources depends on the size of the battery. The optimal battery size for mitigating voltage fluctuation and reverse power flow is determined. The controller is designed to compensate for the charging rate to maintain the desired level of State of Charge (SOC), thereby adjusting to minimize reverse power flow.

Does reverse power flow affect distribution feeder voltage?

Although it is well accepted that a reverse power flow leads to a rise in distribution feeder voltage, our measurements indicated that distribution feeder voltage reduces with an increase in reverse power flow in presence of a large PV system.

What is reactive power control for PV inverter?

The role of reactive power control in a PV inverter, as suggested by the authors in [research paper], is to mitigate distribution system voltage magnitude fluctuations caused by short-term solar power fluctuation. Reactive power control for PV inverters improves distribution system operation.

What happens if a PV system flows in the reverse direction?

Thus, when the output power from the PV system flows in the reverse direction, an increase in the magnitude of the line impedance and/or apparent power results in a reduction in the receiving-end voltage.

Why does PV output power reverse in the daytime?

The PV output power reverses in the daytime so that the active power at the substation flows in the reverse direction. Consequently, the voltage at the PV system is larger than the voltage at the substation during the daytime. Fig. 2. Time variation of active power and voltage in feeder A.
