Investigating the Effect of Third Generation Photovoltaics (Large Scale Perovskite Solar Cells) Penetration in Electric Grid (IETGPSC)

The lab-access user project “Investigating the Effect of Third Generation Photovoltaics 
(Large Scale Perovskite Solar Cells) Penetration in Electric Grid (IETGPSC)” 
was conducted at the host lab of National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in the time 
period 11/07/2022 to 26/07/2022. 
The IETGPSC project investigated the effect of third generation solar cells namely perovskite 
solar cells to the electric grid at normal case of operation, fault case and islanding case of 
operation and examine the performance of the grid stability. The results also compared with 
silicon based solar cells under the same conditions of operations. Where the power hard 
ware in loop (PHL) methodology has been used to integrate the solar cells and the inverter to 
the electric grid and the real time digital simulator (RTDS) also has been used to obtain the 
on time signals of the system.
