Abstract
Still there are unanswered questions related to the problem of integrating PVPS with UG. This interconnection becomes the most promising future application for photovoltaic (PV) energy production if these questions are researched deeply and answered , The most significant questions are those related to the photovaltaic - Utility grid power system aggregation (PVPS - UG) reliability as well as its economics. This paper presents a computer aided approach by the aid of which the reliability of components PVPS, and PVPS-UG aggregation is estimated and analyzed for practical failure rates of each component as well as alternative probabilities of insolation. on other hand, the impact of the reliability of UG Subsystems : transmission, switching and transformation with various ratings of hypothetical PVPS is demonstrated. In addition, the economics of this integration are evaluated for the present and hopeful PV array prices. Complete numerical application with an argument is introduced for a PVPS, hypothetically sited at Kafr - EL - Sheikh region, EGYPT .
