Abstract

The integration of large scale solar photovoltaic (LSSPV) in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah is on the increasing trend, with many government incentives introduced for the past few years. The availability of solar energy and its generation outputs are depended on weather conditions. As the penetration level increases and becomes a significant portion in the generation mix, the solar output fluctuations could pose reliability risks to the grid system. This paper extensively reviews the present research on large-scale solar photovoltaic (LSSPV) power generation in Sabah Grid System, discusses the modelling and simulation methods of LSSPV and explores impacts of LSSPV integration on dynamic and static characteristics of power systems stability. Additionally, this paper also evaluated the reactive power capabilities of the LSSPV and tested for compliance with the Grid Code for Sabah and Labuan. Power quality assessments, Fault (low-voltage) ride through capability and frequency response of the LSSPV were also performed to verify LSSPV compliance.
