Abstract
This paper studies the harmonic performance of grid-connected PV system under various penetration levels. The system under study was modelled in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Current and voltage distortions were studied in terms of the percentage of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) under different PV penetration scenarios. The results showed that the Grid-Connected PV generates a different level of harmonics distortion depending on the PV penetration level that was injected to the grid.
