Photovoltaic grid-connected inverter control current

How does a grid-connected PV system control current?

In a grid-connected PV system, the inverter controls the grid injected current to set the dc link voltage to its reference value and to adjust the active and reactive power delivered to the grid. In this review paper, different current control strategies for grid-connected VSI with LCL filter are introduced and compared.

What is inverter control system in a grid-connected PV system?

In a grid-connected PV system, the role of inverter control system is fixing the dc link voltage and adjusting active and reactive power delivered to the grid. For this purpose, it has two main parts: (1) outer control loop of the dc link voltage, (2) inner dq current control loops.

Can a grid-connected PV inverter inject sinusoidal current to the grid?

The paper investigates and analyzes a controller model for grid-connected PV inverters to inject sinusoidal current to the grid with minimum distortion. To achieve better tracking and disturbance rejection, a DSP-based current controller is designed with LCL filter.

What are grid-interactive solar PV inverters?

Grid-interactive solar PV inverters must satisfy the technical requirements of PV energy penetration posed by various country's rules and guidelines. Grid-connected PV systems enable consumers to contribute unused or excess electricity to the utility grid while using less power from the grid.

Should grid code regulation be followed when integrating a PV inverter system?

Grid code regulation must be followed when integrating the photovoltaic inverter system to the grid. The paper investigates and analyzes a controller model for grid-connected PV inverters to inject sinusoidal current to the grid with minimum distortion.

What is a p/q control strategy for photovoltaic grid-connected inverters?

In photovoltaic grid-connected (GC) and DG systems, one of the objectives that the grid-connected inverters (GCI) is the control of current coming from the photovoltaic modules or DG units. In this way, this paper describes a simple P/Q control strategy for three-phase GCI. Initially, the proposed control of the grid side is introduced.
