Abstract

Nowadays solar power is one of the most suitable energy source for power generation. In practice, due to routine starting of solar power plant at every day, as a result of switching effects inrush current produces in grid connected transformer(s). Inrush current affects winding of transformer, causes of generation of harmonics and related power quality issues. Here, the calculation of inrush current and its effect on power system network is elaborated. Possible solution for reduction of inrush current by suitable techniques is discussed. Comparative analysis has been also obtained for effects of harmonics of with sequential switching technique and without inrush current reduction technique.
