Photovoltaic inverter grid exceeds limit

What happens if a photovoltaic inverter exceeds a voltage limit?

When the grid-connected point voltage exceeds the limit, the photovoltaic inverter outputs the corresponding reactive power. If the reactive power capacity of the inverter is insufficient, part of the photovoltaic active power is reduced to meet the reactive power demand of the system .

Can grid-connected PV inverters improve utility grid stability?

Grid-connected PV inverters have traditionally been thought as active power sources with an emphasis on maximizing power extraction from the PV modules. While maximizing power transfer remains a top priority, utility grid stability is now widely acknowledged to benefit from several auxiliary services that grid-connected PV inverters may offer.

What happens after photovoltaic power is connected to the grid?

After photovoltaic power is connected to the grid, photovoltaic power is output according to the maximum power point tracking (Maximum Power Point Tracking, MPPT) and the unit power factor is generated, that is, the active power is output according to the maximum power and reactive power. The power is 0, and the PCC voltage is at this time:

How to provide voltage support in PV inverter?

To provide voltage support at the PCC, reactive power is injected into the grid under fault conditions as per the specified grid codes. As previously discussed, the simultaneous injection of peak active power from PVs and reactive power into the grid for voltage support can trigger the over current protection mechanism in PV inverter.

Does limiting the rated capacity of photovoltaic inverters improve reliability?

By limiting the rated capacity of photovoltaic inverters, that is, limiting the reactive power output of photovoltaic inverters, the reliability of photovoltaic inverters is indirectly improved, but the reliability index of photovoltaic inverters is not introduced into the reactive voltage optimization model .

How a PV inverter control the voltage of a PCC?

In this control strategy, the voltage of PCC is tracked by PV system in real time. When the voltage of PCC is normal, inverter will output in the way of maximum power point tracking (MPPT).When the voltage of PCC exceeds the upper limit, the inverter will regulate the voltage using the remaining capacity preferentially.
