Grid-connected PV systems Grid-connected PV systems include building integrated PV (BIPV) systems and terrestrial PV systems (including PV power plants in saline-alkali land, tideland and desert). At the scale of the entire interconnected electric power grid, generated electric power must be consumed within milliseconds of being generated.
Grid interconnection of PV power generation system has the advantage of more effective utilization of generated power. However, the technical requirements from both the utility power system grid side and the PV system side need to be satisfied to ensure the safety of the PV installer and the reliability of the utility grid.
Grid interconnection of PV systems is accomplished through the inverter, which convert dc power generated from PV modules to ac power used for ordinary power supply to electric equipments. Inverter system is therefore very important for grid-connected PV systems.
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.
Particularly at high PV penetration levels, PV systems should maintain grid connectivity through reactive power injection in reaction to voltage faults to prevent instigating extreme incidents, such as blackouts. To further reduce the cost of energy, it is necessary to enhance both dependability and efficiency.
A PV HVDC grid connected system realizes PV power collection and voltage step-up through DC/DC converter of PV generation unit, making the output voltage directly reach the appropriate transmission voltage level. The typical structure of a HVDC collection and grid-connection PV power plant system is shown in Figure 2.
