Current limiting function of solar inverter in Belgian power grid

4 FAQs about [Current limiting function of solar inverter in Belgian power grid]

Why do inverters need a current limiter?

Without proper safeguards, excessive currents during disturbances can damage the inverter’s power stage, leading to system failures and jeopardizing grid stability. Addressing this challenge is where current limiters come into play. Current limiters are the first line of defense during grid disturbances.

What are the goals of grid-connected PV inverters?

Under grid voltage sags, over current protection and exploiting the maximum capacity of the inverter are the two main goals of grid-connected PV inverters. To facilitate low-voltage ride-through (LVRT), it is imperative to ensure that inverter currents are sinusoidal and remain within permissible limits throughout the inverter operation.

Are grid-forming inverters a good solution for power-electronics-based power systems?

Abstract—Grid-forming (GFM) inverters are increasingly rec-ognized as a solution to facilitate massive grid integration of inverter-based resources and enable 100% power-electronics-based power systems. However, the overcurrent characteristics of GFM inverters exhibit major differences from those of conven-tional synchronous machines.

How to provide voltage support in PV inverter?

To provide voltage support at the PCC, reactive power is injected into the grid under fault conditions as per the specified grid codes. As previously discussed, the simultaneous injection of peak active power from PVs and reactive power into the grid for voltage support can trigger the over current protection mechanism in PV inverter.
