This paper presents an analysis of the fault current contributions of small-scale single-phase photovoltaic inverters under grid-connected operation and their potential impact on the protection of distribution systems.
The PV inverter is modelled as a constant power source, however, for fault analysis, the authors assumed the limiting current to be twice the rated current, for the worst-case scenario. The inverter current and voltage are considered in phase for unit power factor operation.
The main objective is to investigate the changes caused in the magnitude of the fault current due to the PV insertion in residential power distribution networks. In both, it is stated that the fault current of each PV system can reach a value of 1.2–2.5 times the PV inverter rated current from 4 to 10 cycles.
The technique is developed by combining distance protection and overcurrent protection, and simulation results under different fault conditions show the feasibility of the proposed scheme. According to the authors, the fault current of PV inverters is limited within 1.5 times the rated current in order to avoid damage to the equipment.
Our home solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment in Polish conditions. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control with remote management capabilities.
