Abstract:

The photovoltaic (PV) generation in Romania as an important source of distributed generation (DG) is just at the beginning. Some theoretical aspects regarding integration of Photovoltaic Power Plants (PVPP) in the Romanian Power System (RPS) are analyzed in the paper. In this context, the status and current trends of grid-connected PV arrays, as well as the technical requirements for PVPP and the regulations from the Romanian legislation are presented.
