“…Table 4 presents the impulse withstand voltage for equipment between solar PV and inverters at the DC side, which is adopted from standard PD CLC/TS 50539-12. As stated in MS IEC 62109-1 [32], the equipment of hybrid solar PV-battery energy storage system at DC side such as solar PV, the battery and inverter are assumed to be in overvoltage category II, whilst the inverter and transformer at the AC side are assumed to be overvoltage category III [37]. Therefore, the impulse withstand voltage for solar PV, battery, and inverter on the DC side is 6 kV, while the inverter and low voltage (LV) transformer on the AC side are 2.5 kV and 4 kV, respectively.…”

This paper discusses the lightning-induced voltage effect on a hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV)-battery energy storage system with the presence of surge protection devices (SPD). Solar PV functions by utilizing solar energy, in generating electricity, to supply to the customer. To ensure its consistency, battery energy storage is introduced to cater to the energy demand. For the countries located at the Equator, lightning has always become a major issue for the system to operate at maximum efficiency, due to its nature of installation in open space areas where the equipment may suffer serious damage that may stop the operation abruptly. To minimize the possible damages, insulation coordination on the lightning protection system is needed. Hence, three case studies, i.e., lightning current amplitude, lightning strike distance, and cable length are presented in this paper, which the quantified analysis is taking into account, to identify the performance of the system with the single installation of SPD Class II at DC and AC sides. The simulation results have contributed towards a better understanding of the importance of SPDs, and the need to properly coordinate according to the standard, taking into account the quantified information obtained from this work, hence providing the necessity of proper installation of SPD will provide better maintenance and prolong the lifespan of the equipment.

“…Photovoltaic installations are exposed to lightning surge. The example of an attacked installation was described in work [14]. A lightning strike took place at two installation points, namely: on the DC side between the solar module and the inverter and on the AC side between the inverter and the substation.…”

This paper presents a computer simulation model (in the MATLAB/Simulink environment) of a photovoltaic system disturbed by a 1.2/50 µs voltage surge pulse, while operating as part of the fixed system of an intelligent building. The tested part of the system consisted of a single PV module and a single-phase DC/AC voltage source converter provided with a maximum power point tracking system. The simulation of the test performed in accordance with the IEC 61000-4-5 standard required the development of a model of a surge waveform generator and a model of a coupling/decoupling network. The 1.2/50 μs voltage surge pulse was introduced into the system from the power grid side. During the test significant changes in the value of the AC voltage and current were found in the DC/AC converter system. The results of the computer simulation tests were verified with measurements performed in an accredited electromagnetic compatibility laboratory using the instructions specified in IEC 61000-4-5. The MATLAB/Simulink environment was proved as a useful tool of the assessment of effects of conducted electromagnetic disturbances on electronic/electric devices.
