6 FAQs about [Analysis of the reasons for photovoltaic inverter disconnection]

What causes disconnection of PV inverter when a fault occurs?

Three factors mainly involve in the disconnection of PV inverter when a fault occurs: 1) loss of grid voltage synchronization, 2) enormous AC current, and 3) excessive DC-link voltage. To fulfill the FRT standard requirements and keep the PV system connected to the grid, when a fault occurs two key problems should be addressed by the PV system.

Why do PV inverters fail?

Some authors discuss inverter failures due to the issues of reactive power control. The PV inverters operate at unity power factor, but as per the new grid requirements, the PV inverters must operate at non unity power factor by absorbing or supplying reactive power to control the grid voltage and frequency.

How to avoid disconnection during faults in PV system?

To avoid disconnection during faults, the PV system should possess Fault Ride Through (FRT) i.e., LVRT and HVRT capability . The LVRT means that how to avoid overvoltage and overcurrent of grid-connected inverter and how to accelerate system dynamics recovery and to avoid grid voltage sag [11, 12].

What is failure causes analysis of grid-connected inverters?

The central inverter is considered the most important core equipment in the Mega-scale PV power plant which suffers from several partial and total failures. This paper introduces a new methodology for Failure Causes Analysis (FCA) of grid-connected inverters based on the Faults Signatures Analysis (FSA).

Is a PV inverter a constant power source?

The PV inverter is modelled as a constant power source, however, for fault analysis, the authors assumed the limiting current to be twice the rated current, for the worst-case scenario. The inverter current and voltage are considered in phase for unit power factor operation.

Why do photovoltaic systems fail?

PhotoVoltaic (PV) systems are often subjected to operational faults which negatively affect their performance. Corresponding to different types and natures, such faults prevent the PV systems from achieving their nominal power output and attaining the required level of energy production.
