Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for the analysis and simulation of the effect of operating large photovoltaic(PV) plants, in coordination, as static synchronous compensators (STATCOM). The goal is to improve voltageprofiles at different load nodes and reduce power losses in transmission lines. The proposed approach takes intoaccount the varying reactive power capacity in PV inverters, which depends on weather conditions.To implement the proposed method, proper Internet of Things (IoT) hardware and software solutions arerequired. In this conte...
