Our project focuses on studying the interconnection of a 5MW solar generator with a 24kV distribution system. Using a model of a provided distribution system, we will perform simulations to analyze both the pre- and post-project conditions, assessing impacts like power flow, short circuit behavior, and flicker voltage fluctuation. Our goal is to identify and resolve any system violations to ensure a successful integration of the generator.
