Abstract :	[en] In this paper, the penetration of grid-connected pho- tovoltaic systems is studied, experimentally tested and compared to simulation results. In particular, how the inverse current flow and unbalance situations affect the voltage in the low-voltage grid. Thus, a test platform has been developed for obtaining experimental results with grid-tied commercial inverters. Photo- voltaic arrays are emulated and subjected to different irradiance profiles and the inverters are controlled to produce at different power conditions. A model has been developed in order to repro- duce the same operating conditions and working environment. Simulations are performed with the software PowerFactory and the results compared to the experimental ones.
