1. An electrical architecture, comprising:
a linear installation comprising one or more groups of photovoltaic (PV) panels configured to produce a maximum total power P, and a direct current (DC) network comprising a DC bus to which the one or more groups of PV panels are electrically connected in parallel, each by way of a DC/DC converter,
an alternating current (AC) network including an AC transport network and/or an AC distribution network,
two voltage source converters, one of the two voltage source converters connecting the DC bus to a first node of the AC network, the other of the two voltage source converters connecting the DC bus to a second node of the AC network, distinct from the first node, each of the voltage source converters being configured to inject from 0% to a value greater than 100% of the power P into the AC network, at least one of the voltage source converters being bidirectional, and
a control system configured to determine power to be transported between the DC network from the voltage source converters and the AC network, based on the requirements and/or operating regimes of the AC network.
