Technical FAQs 4

Why do we use superimposed currents?

The zero axis current is eliminated as it aligns with the zero sequence current. To enhance the sensitivity of the protection scheme even under weak infeed or high impedance fault (HIF), superimposed currents are used. Besides, they ensure that operating quantity is zero under steady-state conditions.

What are inverter control strategies?

The inverter control strategies can be broadly classified as grid following and grid forming controls. With grid following controls (current or PQ), the voltage and frequency are dictated by the grid and microgrid performs only ancillary services.

What is the difference between grid forming control and inverter?

Whereas with grid forming control, the inverter will determine voltage and frequency. The fault current from grid forming controls (V/F, droop, VSM etc.) possess a higher peak value, contain exponential damping dc component and remain unbalanced for asymmetrical faults.

Is Bess inverter V/F controlled?

As BESS inverter is V/F controlled, its fault response (Fig. 7 (a)) is similar to that of synchronous alternators. On the other hand, terminal N current (Fig. 7 (b)) is contributed by current controlled PV. It possesses zero sequence components, but lacks negative sequence components.
