3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this technical guide.
3.1
PV power station
A large-scale PV power generation system consisted of one or more photovoltaic power subsystems, converting sunlight energy directly to electric energy.
3.2
Photovoltaic power subsystem
A system including (one or more) grid connection inverters and relevant BOS (components of balance system), as well as a solar-cell-array with one point of common coupling.
3.3
Active power of PV power station
Total active power output from PV power station.
3.4
Reactive power of PV power station
