Abstract
With the increasing penetration level, the intermittent nature of solar energy poses new challenges for the conventional grid. The major challenges are overvoltage, voltage fluctuations, frequency fluctuations, reverse power flow etc. These challenges suggest updating the conventional grid code. The updated grid code can incorporate FPPT instead of MPPT to meet the challenges arising due to large PV penetration. The main plot of the paper is on the review of techniques to mitigate such challenges during higher PV penetration on Smart Grid.
