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.
Why do grid-connected PV inverters need FRT?
The control systems of grid-connected PV inverters rely on the network to provide a frequency and voltage reference and so may shut down during voltage depressions. Thus just when the power system is distressed by a fault the PV generation may trip. This problem is well recognized and leads to the FRT requirement.
Are control strategies for photovoltaic (PV) Grid-Connected inverters accurate?
