6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter fault feedback]

How do PV inverters respond to a fault?

For different fault types, after a brief spike (transient response), the currents of the three PV inverters returned near to the nominal value (steady-state response). Also, the inverters injected steady-state fault current (≈ 1 p.u.) for two cycles until their disconnection.

Do grid-connected PV inverters have a fault condition?

In addition, the experimental results available in the literature are specific to the PV application. Many works in the literature address the behavior of grid-connected PV inverters under a fault condition. Some of them, specifically, investigate the fault current contribution from this equipment by means of simulations.

Does a single phase PV inverter have a fault condition?

In addition to the three-phase PV inverter, in Gonzalez et al. (2018), a single-phase PV inverter (3.2 kVA) is investigated under fault condition when operating with grid-connected functionality. During a fault, the voltage at the PCC of the single-phase PV inverter also reaches 0.05 pu, and the test results are summarized in Table 7.

What happens if a PV inverter fails?

In all cases, the fault is caused at the coupling point of the PV inverter, leading the voltage to zero. In addition, it can be seen that the steady-state fault current of the PV inverters is practically the same for different power factor conditions, i.e., from 1 to 1.1 pu of the pre-fault current (1 pu).

Can a fault current limit a PV inverter?

The technique is developed by combining distance protection and overcurrent protection, and simulation results under different fault conditions show the feasibility of the proposed scheme. According to the authors, the fault current of PV inverters is limited within 1.5 times the rated current in order to avoid damage to the equipment.

Does PV insertion affect fault current in residential power distribution networks?

The main objective is to investigate the changes caused in the magnitude of the fault current due to the PV insertion in residential power distribution networks. In both, it is stated that the fault current of each PV system can reach a value of 1.2–2.5 times the PV inverter rated current from 4 to 10 cycles.
