Hello,
I'm working on the preliminary design of a PV system for a small micro-grid application. The solar array will be in the neighborhood of 400 kW. There are plans for future growth but for now there are existing generators that provide the main power to the micro-grid. Thee client wants to supplement the power generation for now with the PV at a baseline of 50 kW.
Question: How best do we maintain a constant power input of 50 kW without over generating from the PV? If there is no load over 50kW, will the solar array stop producing power?
We're discussing relay protection to open the breaker feeding the system but this would then need to be reset each time it were opened.
Any input is welcomed.
Thank you.
