6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter ride-through circuit]

What are the goals of grid-connected PV inverters?

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.

What is a low voltage ride-through (LVRT) inverter?

Low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capable inverters inject reactive power to help with fault recovery during periods of grid sags in addition to withstanding grid sags 13, 14. The goal of the LVRT inverter is to maintain grid connectivity during transient faults by disabling and de-activating the under/over voltage and over current relays.

Do PV inverters have a fault-ride-through mechanism?

The influx of distributed PV-generators must be equipped with sophisticated control to ensure grid stability, especially during grid faults. A devastating grid outage may occur if the grid-tied PV inverters are not equipped with the “fault-ride-through” mechanism.

How do grid-tied PV inverters work?

When a fault (such as a short circuit, flickering, or loss of grid power) occurs on the grid, even if it is transient in nature, the conventional grid-tied PV inverters automatically cut themselves off from the grid. The inverters are configured in this fashion to prevent damage from transients of over current or over voltage.

How does a PV inverter work?

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.

What is the output voltage of a PV inverter?

It is seen that the inverter is operating smoothly during the normal operating condition and the output voltage of 796.4 V power of 1504 kW (approximate) from PV power plant as well as grid parameters, i.e. grid voltage of 33 kV and grid power of 1 MW are also maintaining normally.
