1) IEEE-2030; Communication standard for Integrating Solar PV system to Distribution Network. 1) NEC-Article 690: Safety standard for Installation of PV Systems. The listed standards are related only to the major solar PV equipment.
The MV Distribution System nominal voltages in Qatar are 11, 22 and 33 kV. Electrical network voltages equal to or higher than 33 kV are not considered in this document. According to the Transmission Grid Code, the 33 kV is considered a sub-transmission network.
The solar PV Systems, when generating power, shall be able to go through frequency transients with frequency within the normal operating range (see 5.5) and with ROCOF value up to 2.5 Hz/s 3.
A Solar PV System with a Maximum Connected Capacity greater than 11 kW shall be capable of staying connected to the distribution network as long as the voltage at the Connection Point remains above the voltage-time diagram in Figure 4. The minimum voltage during the fault shall be 5% of the rated voltage.
