← TechnologyWhich instability risk increases when an electrical grid integrates a large proportion of photovoltaic systems?
A)Voltage flicker due to cloud transients✓
B)Transformer saturation from harmonic distortion
C)Substation overloading from reactive power surplus
D)Conductor overheating from increased fault current
💡 Explanation
When many photovoltaic systems feed into a grid, fluctuations in irradiance from passing clouds cause rapid changes in power output, which leads to voltage flicker because grid inertia can't instantaneously compensate. Therefore voltage flicker results, rather than harmonic distortion, overloading, or overheating which have other causes.
