This paper aims to select the optimum inverter size for large-scale PV power plants grid-connected based on the optimum combination between
Because the PV array rarely produces power to its STC capacity, it is common practice and often economically advantageous to size the inverter to be less than the PV array. This ratio of PV to inverter power is measured as the DC/AC ratio. A healthy design will typically have a DC/AC ratio of 1.25.
However, the authors recommended that the inverter capacity and PV array power must be rated at 1.0:1.0 ratio as an ideal case. In the second study, B. Burger tested the two types of PV panel technologies to match the inverter Danfoss products with the PV array-rated power in sites around central Europe.
The variation of annual inverter efficiency from the maximum annual value for a low efficiency inverter is 5.6% when the sizing ratio decreases from 1.3 to 0.8 and 3.6% when the sizing ratio increases from 1.3 to 1.8. It can be concluded that the optimum PV/inverter sizing ratio depends on inverter characteristics.
The suggested ratio ranged from 1.06 to 1.11 for the Thin-Film PV plant . According to ABB Solar, the inverter might be sized between the PV array power and active power of the inverter ratings (0.80 to 0.90).
The sizing ratio (Rs) is defined as the ratio of the PV array capacity at standard test conditions (STC) to the rated inverter input DC power given as (1) R s = P PV, rated P inv, rated where, PPV,rated and Pinv,rated represent rated PV capacity and rated inverter input power, respectively.
