A single line diagram for PV system for a distribution system

AI Thread Summary
A request for a real-life single line diagram of a photovoltaic (PV) system integrated into a distribution network was made, emphasizing the need for detailed parameters such as generator voltage, transmission line impedance, and transformer specifications. The user is specifically looking for a case study that includes actual data rather than hypothetical examples, to aid in their project focused on voltage regulation at the point of common coupling (PCC). They aim to develop a control methodology for their inverter to manage reactive power and maintain nominal voltage levels. The discussion highlights the challenges in finding comprehensive one-line diagrams that meet these criteria. A real-world example would significantly benefit those working on similar research projects.

Hi guys,

I am looking for a real life single line diagram (containing generator, transmission line, distribution system) containing a PV system in a distribution level. The single line should contain all the parameters (for example generator voltage, and impedance for transmission line, transformers, load, PV system capacity and impedance). This is for my project at school and I couldn't find it anywhere. Any help is appreciated

I've always heard them called One-line diagrams.

Thanks dlgoff for your reply. However, that is not what I needed at all. What I needed was some kind of case study with one-line diagram showing all the impedances (of transmission lines, transformers etc), load size and Photovoltaic plant capacity so that I have some kind of real life data (not something made up). I am working on a voltage regulation at PCC (point of common coupling). My goal is to come up with some kind of control methodology so that my inverter will inject / absorb reactive power so that the voltage is at the nominal level. For this, I need the one-line diagram to come up with the system transfer function.

Did you ever end up finding a one line circuit diagram of a real world plant with a photovoltaic system? I’m currently working on a research project with some similarities to this and a real world example would be useful.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
