Get StartedSince the total rated power of the inverter is constant, the more the output reactive power, the less the output active power, which will limit the power transfer capability of the grid-connected inverter. Therefore, the SCR is an important factor that influences the maximum power transfer capability of the grid-connected inverter.
According to the definition of the SCR, the increase of the rated inverter power or the transmission impedance will reduce the SCR and make the grid weaker. The PCC voltage varies easily when a large amount of active power is injected into a weak grid.
strength as: very weak (SCR≤2), weak (2<SCR<3), and strong (SCR>3) . The issue of grid-connected inverters operating in grid-following (GFL) or grid-forming (GFM) mode exhibiting dif erent stability behaviour under different grid strengths has been raised. It is emphasized that GFL tends to be unstable
Grid-connected inverter PV power station is connected to bus Bus1. In the dotted box of Bus1 is GFMI energy storage converter + energy storage battery, and its influence on the whole system is verified by adding this energy storage part. Add a load on the Bus5 side, and observe the inertia of the system by switching the load.
GFLI inverter is a new energy grid-connected photovoltaic inverter widely used at present. Its output voltage will track the frequency and phase of the voltage waveform of the power grid, and its output alternating current will keep synchronized with the power grid, so it is fundamentally a current source system.
Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6 a, the value of Pgrid(pu) in the resistive grid (Rg / Xg = 10) is lower than 0 whatever the PCC voltage is, which means that the resistive weak grid cannot be used for power transmission. Hence, a required minimum SCR should be known in the resistive grid. 4.
