An Introduction to Inverters for Photovoltaic
Inverters belong to a large group of static converters, which include many of today''s devices able to “convert” electrical parameters in input, such
It was observed that for inverter loading ratios commonly used on utility-scale PV power plants (around 120%), the overload losses varied from 0.3% to 2.4%, depending on technology. The optimal ILR for the more traditional crystalline Si PV technology was estimated to be 126%.
The methodology developed for the optimal inverter loading ratio (ILR) was applied over one full year of solar generation data for the five technologies. It was observed that for inverter loading ratios commonly used on utility-scale PV power plants (around 120%), the overload losses varied from 0.3% to 2.4%, depending on technology.
The increase in bus voltage is used as the control signal of the PV output current to reduce the photovoltaic output current, such that the PV output power is reduced from 3000 W to the inverter power limit value of 1500 W, which meets the requirements of the inverter output power limit.
To step up the output voltage of the inverter to such levels, a transformer is employed at its output. This facilitates further interconnections within the PV system before supplying power to the grid. The paper sets out various parameters associated with such transformers and the key performance indicators to be considered.
The PV works in power limit mode, and the output current of the PV is reduced by controlling the boost converter. According to the photovoltaic I–V characteristic curve, the output voltage of the PV increases as a result and moves further away from the maximum power point.
In [ 17, 18 ], photovoltaic output power was used as a control variable. The deviation between the inverter's power-limiting value and the photovoltaic output power under the action of the proportional–integral (PI) controller can change the duty cycle of the boost converter, which can reduce the photovoltaic output power within 1 s.
