Abstract

The Distributed Generator of a Photovoltaic System (DGPVS) is an essential factor for future power plant generation, and it can be created by connecting multiple small power plant generators in a microgrid system. This paper focuses on the overcurrent protection of a three-phase grid-connected inverter (3P-GCI) under voltage sag conditions in sustaining connection loss between the 3P-GCI and the primary grid, which involves voltage instability. The ancillary service shows more advantage in overcurrent protection during voltage sags, which limits the generated current under sag duration. Its service can protect the inverter and avoid more disturbances to the primary grid because the 3P-GCI remains connected. Proposed LVRT strategy with limit current feature play the role to protect 3P-GCI under voltage sag. In the normal grid, the 3P-GCI can inject 302W of active power with a power factor (PF) equal to one. 1.4% of VTHD and 4.3% of ITHD shows the performance of the proposed system. Meanwhile, the 3P-GCI injects 239VAr reactive power and reduces injected active power to 135W which is essential to remain connected to the primary grid during voltage sags and limit the generated current. The validation results show that this prototype successfully compensates for the grid voltage drops by injecting 239Var of reactive power and limiting its generated current to 1.592A.

Abstract

The grid-feeding inverter is the most popular choice for implementing a distributed generator (DG) in a photovoltaic (PV) system. Its role is to deliver active power with zero reactive power while connected to the grid. In most cases, the inverter is disconnected as soon as voltage sag disturbances occur, an operation that is known as an islanding mode. Recently, grid code regulations have been upgraded, allowing the inverter to remain connected to the grid and inject a certain amount of reactive power during voltage sags, provided that it meets grid code requirements. However, this can result in an increase in current injection by the inverter, which may cause overcurrent and damage the inverter if it exceeds the capability of the inverter. To control peak current during voltage sag disturbances, a proposed grid-feeding inverter attempts to detect voltage sag and calculate proportional injected active and reactive power. Once the disturbance has disappeared from the system, the inverters can be restored to normal operation. Prototype experiments have validated the ability of this system to control peak current during voltage sag while protecting the inverters.
