A Single Phase Grid Connected PV System working in Different Modes

Abstract

The current grid standards for the single-phase residential PV system expect it to operate at Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) mode under normal operating conditions and to maintain the voltage profile whenever a grid fault occurs. The proposed system supplies power to the load under stable conditions and the PV system works in MPPT mode. When the fault occurs at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) and the voltage is reduced, the proposed controller maintains the voltage profile by injecting the current fed by the current controller at the PCC. The controller shifts from MPPT to the faulty mode and maintains voltage as per grid requirements. During islanding conditions, the PV system successfully caters to the requirements of the load by shifting the control from MPPT to islanding mode. When the PV system is in operation the power quality is enhanced

Enhanced Power Quality in Single-Phase Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems: An Experimental Study

“…A voltage sag is defined as a drop in the AC voltage's RMS value at a power frequency of 0.5 cycles per minute, according to IEEE 1346 [5] and IEEE 1159 [5][6][7] standards. It can also be defined as a rapid drop and simultaneous fast recovery in the voltage at any point of the electrical system according to the standard IEC 61000-2-1 [8]. Voltage sags are often caused by short-circuit faults such as single line-to-ground faults due to the sudden interconnection of a large load such as an industrial induction motor.…”

“…The interconnection of large capacitors or the disconnection of large loads are the two primary sources of voltage surges. As a result, some of the industrial equipment, such as motor drives, surge arresters, and relays, may be Energies 2023, 16, 4240 2 of 23 overheated, tripped, or even damaged by voltage surges [8,9], whereas, for sensitive loads such as electronic equipment, harmonic pollution is of major concern because its regulation is based on the crossings of the zero or maximum value point of the supply voltage [3][4][5][6][7].…”
