Enhancing grid-connected photovoltaic system performance
Grid-linked photovoltaic (PV) plant is a solar power system that is connected to the electrical grid 39, 40. It consists of solar panels, an inverter, and a connection to the utility grid
Solar Power Plants that use only utility grid as a complementary source of power are called grid-tied or grid-connected systems. In a grid-tied system whenever there is a shortfall in power production from solar due to external conditions, the grid power will compensate the shortfall.
For instance, a network of small solar panels might designate one of its inverters to operate in grid-forming mode while the rest follow its lead, like dance partners, forming a stable grid without any turbine-based generation. Reactive power is one of the most important grid services inverters can provide.
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.
In this blog, we will cover the common types of Grid-Tied or Grid Connected Solar Inverters used in roof-top Solar Power Plants: String Inverters, SolarEdge Optimizer System, and Enphase Micro-inverter System. Solar Power Plants that use only utility grid as a complementary source of power are called grid-tied or grid-connected systems.
In the grid-connected inverter, the associated well-known variations can be classified in the unknown changing loads, distribution network uncertainties, and variations on the demanded reactive and active powers of the connected grid.
The control design of this type of inverter may be challenging as several algorithms are required to run the inverter. This reference design uses the C2000 microcontroller (MCU) family of devices to implement control of a grid connected inverter with output current control.
