Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of different low voltage ride though strategies proposed for operation of a grid connected two stage photovoltaic system under low voltages. The existing grid codes mandate that, under the presence of low voltages, a distributed energy resource (DER) must stay connected to the grid for a minimum amount of time. This results in abnormally high currents though the inverter of a PV system, which can potentially damage the semiconductor switches. To avoid this, low voltage ride through techniques are proposed in the literature to ensure that the DER stays connected to the grid. Traditionally, the performance of LVRT techniques is evaluated by assuming an ideal voltage dip at the point of common coupling. In this work, comparative evaluation of different LVRT techniques is carried out on the CERTS test bed with an objective to highlight the impact of network transients on their performance. © 2020 IEEE.
