Descripción
Sumario:Single-phase grid tied inverter is one among types of inverters widely used in photovoltaic (PV) generation system due to the advantages they offer. This chapter describes model and simulation of such inverter in operation as distributed generation in electrical power system. Power characteristics including power quality, grid interaction behavior and load sharing that are important aspects in their operation as grid connected inverter will be simulated and analyzed. The role of current or voltage control and associated mechanism in photovoltaic inverter such as photovoltaic I-V characteristic, maximum power point tracker (MPPT), and other mechanism that involves in power flow and load sharing control are described. Further, some observation and measurement from a 5-kWp laboratory scale grid interconnected photovoltaic plant that employ single phase photovoltaic inverter will be presented. The load sharing behavior between photovoltaic plant and utility grid during supplying both linear and non linear load that connected on their point of common coupling. In addition, observation and measurement results of power quality parameter behavior during photovoltaic inverter operation along extremely density variation of photovoltaic produced energy that comes from the atmospheric condition will be presented. Keywords: single phase PV Inverter, distributed generation
