As far away from load demand center, the power grid construction is relatively weak in those areas. When the large-scale photovoltaic power stations are put into operation together, solar energy rejection will occur as not all the power can be transmitted due to the limitations of the transmission lines in the local area.
In the UK, Spain and Italy more than 150GW of wind and solar projects are stuck in grid connection queues in each country, according to figures from BloombergNEF. Power capacity, US only (GW) In the US, grid connection requests grew by 40 per cent in 2022, a study led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found.
The shape of grid lines or fingers, used to reduce conductive losses in photovoltaic cells, is shown to be optimized when the current flux in the line remains constant. This result is derived for cells of arbitrary geometry assuming the fraction of the cell area shaded is small. The shapes of grid lines for three special cases are provided.
Several researchers have studied and modelled the impact of power losses on solar cell’s electrical behaviour (Green, 1987, Moore, 1979, Flat and Milnes, 1979, Shabana, 1989). Optimum grid line spacing is proposed by Wolf (1960) for one dimensional cell as well as the current flow in one direction.
Because the output power of photovoltaic power station shows strong randomness, intermittence and uncontrollability, the connection of the large-scale solar energy to the power grid will affect the operational safety of the grid.
However, if the widths of the grid lines are decreased then the resistive losses will increase which in turn increase the electrical power loss. So, for optimization of the grid design these electrical and optical power losses must be balanced to produce minimum total power loss.
