Grid-connected PV inverters must produce energy of defined quality. The harmonic spectrum of the current waveform (measured up to harmonic number 49) must have a THD of less than 5%, while the THD of the voltage must be less than 2% according to IEC and IEEE standards.
4. Grid-connected inverter control techniques Although the main function of the grid-connected inverter (GCI) in a PV system is to ensure an efficient DC-AC energy conversion, it must also allow other functions useful to limit the effects of the unpredictable and stochastic nature of the PV source.
Therefore, the grid interconnection requires various standards and regulations to integrate with the power grid to ensure its proper operation and stability. The inverter plays a vital role in the interfacing of renewable dc sources into the AC power grid.
Under grid unbalances and voltage fluctuations, the smart inverter should have the capability to remain connected to the grid for a specific duration based on the maximum and minimum voltage deviation levels allowed by the system. It must trip (disconnect the system) when the limits are violated .
The goal of technological development is constantly to increase efficiency, and hence the next generation grid-connected PV inverters unquestionably have higher efficiency, higher power density, and greater reliability. The significant integration of photovoltaic power plants (PVPPs) has an impact on utility grid operation, stability, and security.
The precise configuration and selection of an inverter are critical for the normal operation of a renewable power generation system. The inverter configuration should be determined using the technical indicators of the entire power system as well as the manufacturer’s product sample handbook.
