Why does PV inverter output voltage contain high order harmonics?

According to the previous analysis, the increase of the PV inverter output power may cause PV output voltage to contain high order harmonics under the weak grid, which are mainly distributed near the resonance peak of output filter LCL of PV inverter.

What is the control performance of PV inverters?

The control performance of PV inverters determines the system’s stability and reliability. Conventional control is the foundation for intelligent optimization of grid-connected PV systems. Therefore, a brief overview of these typical controls should be given to lay the theoretical foundation of further contents.

How to calculate power output of a PV inverter?

L represents the value of inductance of the output filter of the inverter. V grid represents the constant voltage in the grid. P in is the power output from the PV array fed to the inverter. P out represents the power being provided to the grid. To calculate the power output P out use the formula below: \ [P_ {out}=V_ {dc}\times I_ {dc}\]

How a grid connected PV inverter works?

The function of PV inverters can be further improved by intelligent optimization. Grid-connected PV inverters can be controlled in grid-following and grid-forming mode. Traditionally, PV inverters work in grid-following mode to output the maximum amount of power by controlling the output current.

How a PV Grid connected inverter generates output harmonics?

The output harmonics of the PV grid-connected inverter are generated under the action of grid voltage harmonics, resulting in corresponding harmonics of its output current. The fundamental reason is that the output harmonics of the inverter are generated by the excitation of harmonic voltage source.

How intelligent is a PV inverter system?

Although various intelligent technologies have been used in a PV inverter system, the intelligence of the whole system is still at a rather low level. The intelligent methods are mainly utilized together with the traditional controllers to improve the system control speed and reliability.
