Abstract

In this paper, the effect of Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) penetration on the damping of critical and inter area modes arising from different penetration level of SPV into the Nigeria national grid has been studied. Also, the possible effects of SPV penetration on Critical Clearing Time (CCT) when a three-phase fault occurs on the grid are studied. The Nigeria 56-bus system was used for the investigation. Sensitivity analyses are carried out to obtain insight into how certain change in parameters affects both the transient and small signal stabilities of the Nigerian power systems. DigSILENT Power Factory was used for the simulation while the analysis was performed in MATLAB. Some of the important findings show that the grid developed increasing amplitude of oscillation from 20 % SPV penetration. There is no steady increase or decrease of CCT with penetration levels. The effect of changes in load on small signal conducted shows that both the real and imaginary load at Kano and Birnin kebbi bus should not exceed 257 MW, 176 MVAR and 171 MW, 134 MVAR, respectively so as to avoid system collapse.
