“…The second one is the reactive current injection control, which is an effective solution for voltage recovery and to support the grid to overcome the voltage dip problems. 15 In the application of PVPPs connected into the utility grid, some researches were done on the configuration of a 2-stage inverter-based grid-connected PV power plant. 78,79 To date, some of the existing FRT control studies focus on reducing the amplitude of the output current of grid inverter and dc-link overvoltage as well as protecting the inverter during voltage dip.…”

“…The technical specification of GCs varies from one country to another based on the characteristics of the national grid. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Nevertheless, for PV system integration, especially large-scale PVPPs connected to the transmission or distribution system, GCs are currently improved and revised. However, this satiation has changed extensively over the most recent years.…”

Summary The high integration of photovoltaic power plants (PVPPs) has started to affect the operation, stability, and security of utility grids. Thus, many countries have established new requirements for grid integration of solar photovoltaics to address the issues in stability and security of the power grid. In this paper, a comprehensive study of the recent international grid codes requirement concerning the penetration of PVPPs into electrical grids is provided. Firstly, the paper discusses the trends of PVPPs worldwide and the significance of improving grid codes' requirements. In addition, the comparison of common requirements covered in the majority of international grid codes considers high‐ and low‐voltage ride‐through capabilities, voltage and frequency regulation, and active and reactive power support requirements. Finally, a broad discussion on the compliance technology challenges and global harmonization of international grid codes that the PVPPs have to address is presented. The study summarizes the most recent international regulation regarding photovoltaic integration and research findings on the compliance of these regulations and proposed recommendations for future research. It also can assist power system operators to compare their existing requirements with other universal operators or establish their own regulations for the first time. Additionally, this research assists photovoltaic manufacturers and developers to get more accurate understanding from the recent global requirements enforced by the modern grid codes.

“…The unified power flow controller is one of the most advanced FACTS devices used in wind applications and consists of two power converters. One converter controls as a STATCOM and the other operates as a static synchronous series compensator to control power flow with the limitation of high cost [99,100]. During grid faults, the reactive power demand can be compensated by an external dynamic STATCOM and an ESS [101], such as hybrid battery-super capacitor energy storage [102].…”

Abstract:This study summarizes an analytical review on the comparison of three-phase static compensator (STATCOM) and active power filter (APF) inverter topologies and their control schemes using industrial standards and advanced high-power configurations. Transformerless and reduced switch count topologies are the leading technologies in power electronics that aim to reduce system cost and offer the additional benefits of small volumetric size, lightweight and compact structure, and high reliability. A detailed comparison of the topologies, control strategies and implementation structures of grid-connected high-power converters is presented. However, reducing the number of power semiconductor devices, sensors, and control circuits requires complex control strategies. This study focuses on different topological devices, namely, passive filters, shunt and hybrid filters, and STATCOMs, which are typically used for power quality improvement. Additionally, appropriate control schemes, such as sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and space vector PWM techniques, are selected. According to recent developments in shunt APF/STATCOM inverters, simulation and experimental results prove the effectiveness of APF/STATCOM systems for harmonic mitigation based on the defined limit in IEEE-519.

“…Lack of the necessary requirements like the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) makes TSO pay more attention to the WTs' and PVs' LVRT capability against synchronous generators. Applying this capability on WT and PV is one of the significant issues in maintaining a connection to the network . Operation cost compels TSOs to generate stable power from all power plant under all upcoming situations, e.g.…”

Summary This paper presents a comprehensive review of fault ride through (FRT) in the grid code of 38 selected countries with an emphasis on renewable energy (REN) sources–related rules. Grid codes are the rules legislated usually by the transmission system operators (TSOs) to determine the grid integration requirements of electrical power generators. Each country establishes its grid code for satisfying the minimum required technical criteria and revises it frequently to cope with new modifications of the utility. Growing the penetration of REN sources have influenced many operational aspects of the power system such as protection, power quality, reliability, and stability. Thereupon, regulations must ensure the power system's secure and controllable operation of REN sources. FRT is one of the main parts of the grid code, and its characteristics affect the performance and rating of power system apparatus. FRT defines the performance of electric power generators during and in postfault conditions. FRT of solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines (WTs) as the main REN sources of energy has great importance in the grid codes. In this paper, a comparison of FRTs in the grid code of 38 countries, including low‐voltage ride through (LVRT), zero‐voltage ride through (ZVRT), and high‐voltage ride through (HVRT) are provided and surveyed.
