Summary
The present paper aims to improve the power quality of Electrical Network using decentralized photovoltaic renewable energy systems. A control technique for controlling the active and reactive power of PVs through power electronic converters is designed. The essential feature of the proposed control technique is that, the reactive power as a function of bus voltage relation called Q(U) is built and utilized.

PVs on power losses and voltage regulation is studied. The studied electrical Distribution network consists of eight MV buses and nineteen LV buses with PV Renewable Energy
Systems.
Also the Distribution Network has both underground cables and Over Head Transmission line systems. The Electrical Network with the proposed control technique is simulated over a wide range of operating conditions using DIgSiLENT Power Factory Software.
The network performance is tested over a wide range of loading factors and different ratings of
PV renewable energy sources through different scaling factors.
The digital simulation results show that the power quality of Electrical Network is improved in terms of power losses minimization and bus voltage regulation.
