Are oversized PV inverters necessary?

However, more costly oversized PV inverters are required, and reactive power generated by PV inverters can reduce the amount of harvested solar energy. Reactive power provided by PV inverters is also not widely accepted by almost all power utilities [ 3 ].

Are PV inverters a good investment?

PV inverters can provide a fast reactive power compensation to lower such voltage fluctuations in addition to energy delivery under the standard IEEE 1547 [ 6 ]. However, more costly oversized PV inverters are required, and reactive power generated by PV inverters can reduce the amount of harvested solar energy.

Do PV inverters produce the same reactive power output pattern?

With the PV inverters operation at unity power factor during the daytime, these two solutions produce the same reactive power output pattern over every 1 s resolution, as plotted in Fig. 10a. The positive and negative outputs in MVAr indicate that the DSTATCOM injects and absorbs the reactive power, respectively.

How efficient are night-time PV inverters?

The %AVFF value is reduced by nearly 45% for the PV inverters operation at unity power factor over all the PV power generation levels, whereas a higher %AVFF at 55% or more is achieved for a PV output from 1.5 to 5.2 MW. This shows the efficient usage of night-time PV inverters with larger capacity.

What is the control strategy for PV inverters & dstatcoms?

In this case, the control strategy involves estimating the amount of reactive power support by the installed DSTATCOMs to reduce the voltage fluctuation during the daytime while PV inverters generate at unity power factor to maximise the solar energy harvest.

How does voltage rise affect the penetration of solar power?

The penetration of solar power is limited by the voltage rise at all the connection points of PV inverters, which is not higher than 2% according to the requirement of a local power utility [ 40, 41 ]. In this regard, the energy amount of PV generation is curtailed when the voltage rise exceeds the maximum allowable limit of 2%.
