Effective Grounding for Inverter-Connected DER: Final Report. EPRI, Palo Alto, CA: 2021. 3002020130. Effective grounding is a characteristic of electric power systems for limiting ground fault overvoltage and considered in coordination of fault current protective devices.
Grounded load alone (line to neutral connected) can provide effective system grounding for inverter connected DER. At high gen/load ratio, however, there will still be an overvoltage (LROV) even with effective grounding.
An inverter grounding design tool (ISGT) is introduced. Effective grounding is a “power system” characteristic, affected by DER. Inverters' need for supplemental grounding and their responses to ground fault and grid disconnection are significantly different than synchronous machines.
An Inverter based Distributed Energy Resource (DER) is expected to have an insignificant effect on the system grounding when in normal parallel operation with the Utility.
For older style PV inverters, the neutral grounding connection usually comes from the factory as essentially an open or high impedance grounded unit. It is not intended for serving zero-sequence load current and thus the inverter acts as an ungrounded-neutral source. The neutral is used for voltage sensing to measure L-N voltage.
To this end, the concept of Effective Grounding is applied. Coefficient of Grounding (CoG), as defined in IEEE C62.92.1-20164, is used to determine Effective Grounding. system is effectively grounded when grounded through a sufficiently low impedance such that the CoG does not exceed 80% (≤ 0.8 pu).
