Load Flow & Reactive Power Study

The main objective of this study is to determine if the project substation is capable of meeting the voltage and reactive power requirements at the point of interconnection with the transmission operator.

The PV and BESS generators are driven by inverters which have PQ capabilities depending on the model and manufacturer.

The main question basically is, will the aggregate or combined inverter output be able to meet the voltage and reactive power requirement while also able to provide the rated MW output per the agreement? Or will you have to install capacitors?
