Photovoltaic Power Plants in Electrical Distribution Networks: A Review on Their Impact and Solutions Nouha Mansouri 1*, Abderezak Lashab 2, Josep M. Guerrero 2 and Adnen Cherif 1
A solar photovoltaic power plant is a regular power plant that converts solar energy into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. This effect occurs when sunlight photons bump into a specific material and displace an electron, which generates a direct current. The acronym PV is commonly used to refer to photovoltaics.
Consequently, the distribution power system components must be upgraded in order to include renewable energy power plants for the EV charging station. Furthermore, creating an energy management system for EV charging stations to implement a scheduling plan for EV charging becomes imperative to prevent technical problems [ 76 ].

By Heiko Tautor October 9, 2015. Photovoltaic solar power can be used effectively in plants by converting the harnessed energy to hydrogen for long-term, seasonal storage, beyond daily storage provided by batteries. A programmable logic controller (PLC) monitors chemical processes in a electrolyzer and fuel cell used in the power storage system.
Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power.
