Customer ServiceIf the solar farm has a substation for power grid connection, then this earthing system may be bonded together with that of the solar farm. Note that if the substation earth grid is interconnected with that of the solar farm, then faults from the HV side of the substation transformers need to be used in the modelling which will likely result in higher touch and step voltages.
Customer ServiceThe necessary parameters of the grounding device (the design, the length of the electrode) depend strongly on the soil resistivity. In addition to low resistance, the grounding device must also be durable to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the solar power plant throughout its life.
Proper grounding of a photovoltaic (PV) power system is critical to ensuring the safety of the public during the installation’s decades-long life. Although all components of a PV system may not be fully functional for this period of time, the basic PV module can produce potentially dangerous currents and voltages for the life of the system.
Abstract: This guide is primarily concerned with the grounding system design for photovoltaic solar power plants that are utility owned and/or utility scale (5 MW or greater). The focus of the guide is on diferences in practices from substation grounding as provided in IEEE Std 80.
Before discussing the subject of grounding, the term “grounding” requires definition. There are two types of grounding in electrical and PV systems—equipment grounding and system grounding. Equipment grounding is known in the ROW as safety grounding or protective earthing.
More than a century ago, the United States and most of the Americas elected to use grounded electrical systems, in which one of the circuit conductors is connected to the earth. The rest of the world (ROW) for the most part chose to employ ungrounded electrical systems, in which none of the circuit conductors are connected to earth.
This type is crucial for the overall stability of the solar plant's electrical system. It involves grounding the neutral point of a system to stabilize the voltage to the earth during transient faults. Each type of earthing plays a vital role in the seamless operation and robust protection of solar plants.
