Operating Limits and Control Variables in Photovoltaic Solar Plants with a Net Effective Capacity of 5 MW Connected to the SIN in Colombia

Abstract

This document delineates the central supervision and control variables for photovoltaic parks that possess a net adequate capacity or power exceeding 5 MW, which are interconnected to the National Interconnected System (SIN) serving as a backup to Colombia's Regional Transmission System (STR). To establish a comprehensive understanding of the operating limits and control variables for photovoltaic solar plants with a net adequate capacity or maximum power of at least 5 MW, a research and analysis methodology was developed in accordance with the regulatory framework in Colombia. This methodology aims to underpin the regulatory parameters and operational guidelines for enhancing the efficiency and compliance of these energy systems.
