REAl LIve SimulATION for monitoring and control of INVERTERS of small PVs

Monitoring and control for small photovoltaic (PV) solar parks. An inverter turns electricity from solar panels into power the electricity grid can use.

This KYAMOS research project explores how measurements, a simulated electricity network and artificial intelligence can help adjust solar output when grid voltage rises.

What the project explores

Measure and monitor

A Raspberry Pi, a small on-site computer, collects inverter measurements and sends control commands.

Model the electricity network

Pandapower software represents the network and calculates how changes in solar output affect its voltage.

Learn control choices

Reinforcement learning, where artificial intelligence learns through trial and feedback, explores ways to reduce solar output only as needed.

Research evidence and limits

Published simulation study

Control of Small-Scale PV Parks for Grid Stability Using Artificial Intelligence

Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology · January 2026

The paper reports smoother control with less unnecessary output reduction than a fixed-rule comparison in its simulated network.

What the results establish

The study uses a simplified solar park and generated sunlight patterns. These are simulation results. Field validation, larger networks and coordinated control of multiple inverters remain future work.

The publication does not establish measured energy savings or a general prediction-speed or accuracy figure for this project.
