What is Australian Grid Code for solar energy integration?

AI Thread Summary
The Australian Grid Code for solar energy integration outlines standards for voltage, power factor, and reactive power for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. To ensure compliance with these standards, it is essential to consult with the local public power utility company. They provide guidance on the relevant rules and codes and are responsible for inspecting and approving equipment before grid connection. Understanding these regulations is crucial for successful solar system implementation in Australia. Engaging with the utility company is the best first step for anyone working with solar systems.

Your best approach would be to contact your local public power utility company. They will help you understand the rules and codes. They will need to inspect and approve your equipment before it can be connected to the grid anyway. :smile:

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
