Times Electric Photovoltaic Inverter

What is CRRC Times Electric's 'influential brand of photovoltaic inverters'?

On September 23, the 2022 PV New Era Forum and the 11th PV Influential Brand Award ceremony was successfully held in Nanjing, which was jointly hosted by Polaris Power Grid and Polaris Solar PV. With its efficient and reliable products and consistent service, CRRC Times Electric was awarded the "Influential Brand of Photovoltaic Inverters".

Do grid connected solar PV inverters increase penetration of solar power?

The different solar PV configurations, international/ national standards and grid codes for grid connected solar PV systems have been highlighted. The state-of-the-art features of multi-functional grid-connected solar PV inverters for increased penetration of solar PV power are examined.

How can PV inverters reduce the cost of energy?

To further reduce the cost of energy, it is necessary to enhance both dependability and efficiency. The PV inverters should act actively in regulating power quality by functioning as active power filters. VAR injection or compensation is used when there is no solar irradiation throughout the night, and the PV inverters are not in use.

Are PV inverters voltage regulated?

In the modern day, the PV inverters are being developed under the interconnection standards such as IEEE 1547, which do not allow for voltage regulations . However, a majority of manufacturers of PV inverters tend to enhance their products with reactive power absorbing or injecting capabilities without exceeding their voltage ratings.

Why do PV inverters stay idle at night?

For photovoltaic (PV) inverters, solar energy must be there to generate active power. Otherwise, the inverter will remain idle during the night. The idle behaviour reduces the efficiency of the PV inverter. However, if there is a mechanism to use such inverters in a different way at night, its efficiency can be increased.

Do PV inverters work at night?

Photovoltaic (PV) inverters are vital components for future smart grids. Although the popularity of PV-generator installations is high, their effective performance remains low. Certain inverters are designed to operate in volt-ampere reactive (VAR) mode during the night.
