6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter over-current and under-current protection value]
What is the fault current of PV inverters?
According to the authors, the fault current of PV inverters is limited within 1.5 times the rated current in order to avoid damage to the equipment. Therefore, the method was proposed and validated by con-sidering such a limiting value.
What is over current protection mechanism in PV inverter?
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. The triggering of over current protection will lead to disconnection of inverter from the grid which is unfavourable during LVRT period.
Does a grid-connected PV inverter have a fault current range?
Unlike the "trip time," where manufacturers must comply with IEEE Std 929–2000, the fault current value reached by a grid-connected PV inverter is not conducted by any standard. In fact, some standards indicate certain fault current ranges only as information.
How long does a PV inverter current last?
However, the steady-state fault current lasts 3 cycles. Immediately after the fault occurrence, the PV inverter current reaches a large spike in the transient period and 1.26 times the pre-fault current (1 pu) in the steady-state period.
Is a PV inverter a constant power source?
The PV inverter is modelled as a constant power source, however, for fault analysis, the authors assumed the limiting current to be twice the rated current, for the worst-case scenario. The inverter current and voltage are considered in phase for unit power factor operation.
What is a fault limiting strategy in a PV inverter?
This way, the higher the voltage drop, the higher the fault current injected by the PV inverter should be. However, the current limiting strategy embedded into the PV invert-ers acts to limit the fault current according to the maximum capacity of the PV inverter components.
