6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter current control]

What is a photovoltaic inverter control strategy?

The main objective of the inverter control strategy remains to inject the energy from the photovoltaic panels into the electrical grid. However, it is designed to inject this power through unbalanced currents so that the local unbalance introduced by the inverter contributes to the overall rebalancing of the grid’s total currents.

What is constant power control in a PV inverter?

In general, PV inverters’ control can be typically divided into constant power control, constant voltage and frequency control, droop control, etc. . Of these, constant power control is primarily utilized in grid-connected inverters to control the active and reactive power generated by the PV system .

How Ann control a PV inverter?

Figure 12 shows the control of the PV inverters with ANN, in which the internal current control loop is realized by a neural network. The current reference is generated by an external power loop, and the ANN controller adjusts the actual feedback current to follow the reference current. Figure 12.

How do PV inverters control a low-voltage network?

Thus, a control method for PV inverters is presented, so that they inject unbalanced currents into the electrical grid with the aim of partially compensating any current imbalances in the low-voltage network where inverters are connected, but in a decentralized way.

How do inverters affect a grid-connected PV system?

For a grid-connected PV system, inverters are the crucial part required to convert dc power from solar arrays to ac power transported into the power grid. The control performance and stability of inverters severely affect the PV system, and lots of works have explored how to analyze and improve PV inverters’ control stability .

How to provide voltage support in PV inverter?

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.
