The use of photovoltaic (PV) systems for electricity generation started in the seventies of the 20th century and is currently growing rapidly worldwide. In fact, many organizations expect a bright future for these systems. As the output power of a solar PV system fluctuates with time-varying parameters such as solar irradiance. Therefore, considerable PV research focuses on the effect of these transient variables on the PV system. Now-a-days, computer models are employed to estimate the effects of these transient parameters on a PV system. The accuracy of these models is usually dependent on the location where accurate meteorological data is available. This work presented a comprehensive overview of the current status of grid-connected PV systems while highlighting the research activities in different areas related to this field. Moreover, the work highlighted the importance of studying the impacts of large centralized PV systems on distribution networks. This is because current trends show that sizes and locations of installation of these systems are expected to highly impact these networks. The work also show the need to develop a new method to analyze the impacts of installing large PV systems on the operation of the electric network, especially due to power fluctuations generated from these systems. This is mainly due to the fact that existing methods used to study the impacts of PV systems either do not include the temporal information of the data in the analysis, and thus, fail to provide any details about power fluctuations, or are difficult to apply in cases where long historical time series data with high resolution is used. Clustering based method proposed in this research is a novel method that overcomes the drawbacks of existing methods used to evaluate the performance of PV systems. The method utilizes the available data in an efficient and intelligent manner, and thus, generates comprehensive results that can help.
