Feasibility study for the planning of a large scale photovoltaic generation plant in grid connection.

The primary objective of this thesis is to conduct a feasibility study for a large-scale photovoltaic plant designed to work alongside traditional non-renewable energy sources in electricity generation. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life from both a social and an economic perspective, without ignoring the environmental impact. In particular, the study is structured as follows: after an accurate review of the relevant scientific literature, a simulation model of a photovoltaic generation system is developed. This model enables a comparative analysis of different plant topologies, assessing their efficiency and adaptability to various operating conditions. The proposed model will be implemented using the PLECS simulation software, incorporating the key components of a photovoltaic system. These include a detailed model of a photovoltaic module to simulate its behavior under different irradiance and temperature conditions, as well as the closed-loop control of a three-level three-phase inverter specifically designed for solar power generation. The data obtained from the simulations will be analyzed to compare the different topologies under consideration, with the aim of identifying the most efficient solution in terms of both economic and functional performance.
