Free QuotePhotovoltaic power systems, like other electrical power systems, require overcurrent protection for conductors, bus bars, and some equipment. However, some of the electrical sources in PV systems are unique when compared with the typical utility source provided by the utility grid.
As previously discussed, the simultaneous injection of peak active power from PVs and reactive power into the grid for voltage support can trigger the over current protection mechanism in PV inverter. The triggering of over current protection will lead to disconnection of inverter from the grid which is unfavourable during LVRT period.
To provide voltage support at the PCC, reactive power is injected into the grid under fault conditions as per the specified grid codes. As previously discussed, the simultaneous injection of peak active power from PVs and reactive power into the grid for voltage support can trigger the over current protection mechanism in PV inverter.
As the installations and demand for PV systems increases, so does the need for effective electrical protection. PV systems, as with all electrical power systems, must have appropriate overcurrent protection for equipment and conductors.
Under grid voltage sags, over current protection and exploiting the maximum capacity of the inverter are the two main goals of grid-connected PV inverters. To facilitate low-voltage ride-through (LVRT), it is imperative to ensure that inverter currents are sinusoidal and remain within permissible limits throughout the inverter operation.
Hence, the inverter is used to inject reactive power in an appropriate amount. The grid code prescribes this amount, based on as to how severe is the dip in the grid voltage. As the power system operators require injection of reactive power from PVs during period of low-voltage-ride-through.
