6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter can reverse power transmission]

Does reverse power flow affect PV penetration?

Reverse power flow is one of the consequences of high PV penetration. However, the authors of investigated this phenomenon from a different angle, i.e., if there is a reverse flow in active power but not in the reactive power which they referred to as counter power flow. They found no evidence to the impact of counter power flow on the grid.

Can a PV inverter regulate voltage effectively?

In Case 2, the PV inverter’s reactive power capacity is insufficient to regulate voltage effectively. Unfortunately, only 0.1 pu voltage regulation is accomplished.

Does reverse power flow affect transformer overload?

One of the primary concerns with this grid-connected PV system is overloading due to reverse power flow, which degrades the life of distribution transformers. This study investigates transformer overload issues due to reverse power flow in a low-voltage network with high PV penetration.

How does a PV inverter work?

The PV inverter can regulate the phase shift of its output AC voltage with respect to the current and thereby control the reactive power injected or absorbed . During instances of overvoltage, a PV can absorb reactive power from the grid in order to lower the voltage level.

Does reverse power flow affect radial network transformer loadings?

A simulation model of a real urban electricity company in Ghana is investigated against various PV penetration levels by load flows with ETAP software. The impact of reverse power flow on the radial network transformer loadings is examined for high PV penetrations. Using the least squares method, simulation results are modelled in Excel software.

What happens if you reverse power flow in a low-voltage network?

Reverse power flow in a low-voltage (LV) network can cause instability, such as in the line sections and distribution transformers [19, 20]. The overloading of the distribution transformer is one consequence of a low-load, high-PV penetration network; higher voltages are also seen at low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) levels. [21, 22].
