Negative sequence impedance of photovoltaic inverter

About Negative sequence impedance of photovoltaic inverter

To investigate the harmonic characteristics of a photovoltaic (PV) system connected to the weak grid, a passive impedance network is constructed using the impedance model of a PV inverter in the positive and negative sequence coordinate system.

Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs), including Wind turbine generators (WTGs), exhibit substantially different negative-sequence fault current characteristics compared to synchronous generators.

This paper presents the sequence impedance modeling of a grid-forming inverter to evaluate its small-signal stability properties. Droop control structure is implemented to control the inverter in grid-forming mode, and the impact of individual controller on the inverter impedance characteristics is discussed.

By combining the impedance characteristic analysis and stability analysis, it is known that when the PV inverter is connected to the weak grid, the increase of PV output active power will reduce the amplitude of the impedance components Z dd and Z qq, and the negative resistance frequency band of Z qq will be expanded.

Power electronics converters present negative incremental impedance characteristics at their input while under regulated output control, which brings in the possibility of system instability. Recent evidence suggests that large-scale penetration of PV inverters increases the probability of instability.

6 FAQs about [Negative sequence impedance of photovoltaic inverter]

What is a passive impedance network of PV inverter grid-connected system?

Using the output impedance of PV inverters in the positive and negative sequence coordinate system, a passive impedance network of PV inverter grid-connected system is established, and the harmonic voltage amplification coefficient of PCC is enhanced.

How can a photovoltaic inverter influence background harmonic characteristics?

Taking the typical grid symmetrical harmonic −5th, +7th, −11th and + 13th order harmonic as an example, the impedance network and the definition of harmonic amplification coefficient can be used to analyze the influence of photovoltaic inverter on the corresponding background harmonic characteristics.

Why does a PV inverter have a series parallel resonance?

When the PV inverter is connected to the grid, series–parallel resonance may occur due to the dynamic interaction between multiple inverters operating in parallel and between the PV inverter and the grid impedance. Consequently, this leads to changes in the output voltage harmonic characteristics of the PV plant.

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.

How do PV inverters control a low-voltage network?

Thus, a control method for PV inverters is presented, so that they inject unbalanced currents into the electrical grid with the aim of partially compensating any current imbalances in the low-voltage network where inverters are connected, but in a decentralized way.

Does a PV inverter need a neutral conductor?

As the PV inverter is connected to the grid through 3 wires, the zero sequence (or common mode) component of the currents is not relevant in this analysis as it is impossible to establish such a current without a neutral conductor.
