6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic power station inverter fault handling]

Does PV insertion affect fault current in residential power distribution networks?

The main objective is to investigate the changes caused in the magnitude of the fault current due to the PV insertion in residential power distribution networks. In both, it is stated that the fault current of each PV system can reach a value of 1.2–2.5 times the PV inverter rated current from 4 to 10 cycles.

Why do PV inverters fail?

Some authors discuss inverter failures due to the issues of reactive power control. The PV inverters operate at unity power factor, but as per the new grid requirements, the PV inverters must operate at non unity power factor by absorbing or supplying reactive power to control the grid voltage and frequency.

Does a single phase PV inverter have a fault condition?

In addition to the three-phase PV inverter, in Gonzalez et al. (2018), a single-phase PV inverter (3.2 kVA) is investigated under fault condition when operating with grid-connected functionality. During a fault, the voltage at the PCC of the single-phase PV inverter also reaches 0.05 pu, and the test results are summarized in Table 7.

How do PV inverters respond to a fault?

For different fault types, after a brief spike (transient response), the currents of the three PV inverters returned near to the nominal value (steady-state response). Also, the inverters injected steady-state fault current (≈ 1 p.u.) for two cycles until their disconnection.

What determines the voltage value at a PV inverter PCC?

During a fault, the voltage value at a PV inverter PCC depends on the fault type, fault impedance, fault location, and the type of PV inverters configurations (voltage-controlled, current-controlled, and power-controlled) (Tu & Chaitusaney, 2012).

Can a fault current limit a PV inverter?

The technique is developed by combining distance protection and overcurrent protection, and simulation results under different fault conditions show the feasibility of the proposed scheme. According to the authors, the fault current of PV inverters is limited within 1.5 times the rated current in order to avoid damage to the equipment.
