What is the control design of a grid connected inverter?
The control design of this type of inverter may be challenging as several algorithms are required to run the inverter. This reference design uses the C2000 microcontroller (MCU) family of devices to implement control of a grid connected inverter with output current control.
Can an inverter be directly connected to a grid?
Because it is a voltage controlled source it cannot be directly connected to the grid. If the voltage or phase of the inverter is not identical to the grid, a theoretically infinite current would flow. This type of inverter is therefore connected to the grid via an inductance.
What happens if the inverter voltage is not identical to the grid?
If the voltage or phase of the inverter is not identical to the grid, a theoretically infinite current would flow. This type of inverter is therefore connected to the grid via an inductance. The inverter voltage may be controlled in magnitude and phase with respect to the grid voltage - see Figures 1a and 1b.
How to control power flow between grid and inverter?
Voltage control and current control of GCI: Power flow between the grid and inverter can be controlled by adjusting the fundamental phase and amplitude of V pwm1 relative to V an. (V pwm is output voltage of inverter, V pwm1 is output voltage first harmonic of inverter and V an is grid line to neutral voltage).
What are voltage and current controlled inverters?
Voltage and current controlled inverters look quite different on a sub 20ms time scale. On a longer time scale (ie seconds) however, inverters used for injection of energy from a PV array directly into the grid are controlled as power sources ie. they inject “constant” power into the grid at close to unity power factor.
What is a grid connected inverter (GCI)?
Usage of Grid-Connected Inverters (GCI) increased dramatically nowadays. These systems are used in Active Power Filters (APF), static synchronous var compensators (STATCOM), grid connected photovoltaic systems, grid connection of wind turbines and in Fig. 1 general topology of the grid connected inverter is shown.
