Dario Di Cara Although the main function of the grid-connected inverter (GCI) in a PV system is to ensure an efficient DC-AC energy conversion, it must also allow other functions useful to limit the effects of the unpredictable and stochastic nature of the PV source.
In the grid-connected inverter, the associated well-known variations can be classified in the unknown changing loads, distribution network uncertainties, and variations on the demanded reactive and active powers of the connected grid.
The test system is described shown in Fig. 13.6, the grid-connected inverter system is simulated using Matlab/Simulink. The simulation model mainly includes the main circuit module and the control module of a three-phase two-level inverter. The grid-connected inverter can distribute the active and reactive power according to the control.
Grid-connected PV inverters have traditionally been thought as active power sources with an emphasis on maximizing power extraction from the PV modules. While maximizing power transfer remains a top priority, utility grid stability is now widely acknowledged to benefit from several auxiliary services that grid-connected PV inverters may offer.
As aforementioned, the inverter is interconnected to the grid, so it should fulfill the grid standards as well. These standards includes power quality, grid ride through capability and islanding prevention . Power quality is mainly measured on the basis of Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
