Abstract

In grid-connected photovoltaic systems (SFCR) in public lighting, several studies need to be carried out, in various conditions. This study in the city of Puno makes a contribution to the use and massification of distributed generation in public lighting systems in low voltage balanced systems. The objective is to analyze the performance in the connection to the grid of the photovoltaic system in public lighting and to be able to verify the electrical parameters such as: power factor, voltage and power generation to inject, considering different topologies and then carry out the treatments through simulations with The ETAP software, The study used polycrystalline photovoltaic panels (SOLAR MODULE EGE-200P-72), micro inverters (MICRO REPLUS) and luminaires with a load of 70 W. The results of three SFCR topologies were analyzed using the ETAP software. Two scenarios were carried out with different irradiance levels (1000 and 500 W/m^2), from which the results were verified for electrical parameters such as voltage drops, harmonic distortion THD and frequency. In relation to the recommended topologies to analyze the viability of implementing a 1.91 KVA public lighting system connected to the electrical grid, a feasible option for our region is presented. This study will be integrated into regulations related to power generation through grid-connected photovoltaic systems. In conclusion, the results of the study demonstrated an improvement in the reliability of the electrical power system in public lighting in the city of Puno thanks to the implementation of photovoltaic systems connected to the grid. This translates into benefits such as greater power generation, better power factor, voltage stability and energy savings.
