Technical FAQs 4

How does a solar PV inverter work?

In the grid following mode of operation, the solar PV IBR operates as a current-controlled source, which generates the current that follows the reference current. The current controller regulates the inverter output current by comparing its measured values with the reference current values either from the voltage or power regulator.

What is the fault current of a PV inverter?

The first 1⁄2 cycles fault current ranges from 1 to 1.2 times the pre-fault current (1 pu). By comparing Tables 4 and 6, it can be seen that the PV inverter model investigated in Gonzalez et al. (2018) is in agreement with the generic group. However, the PV inverter is disconnected shortly after 1.5 cycles.

How does a PV inverter limiting strategy work?

After detecting the occurrence of a fault, the current limiting strategy acts in order to avoid damages to the PV inverter components. Therefore, shortly after the peak current, the inverter returns to the constant current from the second half cycle.

Can a PV inverter trip a fault?

It is concluded by the authors that PV inverters present a steady-state current from 1.1 to 1.5 times their rated current, and they are capable of “trip” within the first cycle or few cycles subsequent to a fault.
