6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter current limiting]

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.

How to ensure maximum exploitation of the inverter capacity?

To provide overcurrent limitation as well as to ensure maximum exploitation of the inverter capacity the performance of the proposed control strategy, is evaluated as per the three generation scenarios given below: In this case, the inverter’s capacity is majorly exploited through the injection of active power under normal operating condition.

Can a PV inverter be operated at a maximum power point?

Therefore, the most efficient way to operate a PV source (at or near its maximum power point) is not always feasible. Although operating the inverter in voltage-fed mode may limit the dc voltage to values higher than the MPP voltage, restricting the voltage to this constant voltage region will avoid any unstable situations .

Does a two-phase and three-phase dip in grid voltage limit inverter current?

The results under two-phase and three-phase dip in the grid voltage shows that the proposed control strategy injects maximum reactive and active power and limits the inverter current by quickly activating the APC control loop during fault-ride-through period.

What is over current protection mechanism in PV inverter?

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.

Can a modulation index modifier limit overcurrent in a PV inverter?

The modulation index modifier used to limit overcurrent allows the PV inverter to have sufficient overload capability while restricting the PV voltage to a higher value in the constant current region. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is able to:
