Improved control strategies for three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic systems under grid-fault conditions

During grid fault conditions, a distributed generation should remain connected for a pre-determined amount of time, and also provide reactive power to support the grid voltage. This is called low-voltage ride through (LVRT). LVRT control method for wind power generation systems under unbalanced and...

Improved control strategies for three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic systems under grid-fault conditions
description During grid fault conditions, a distributed generation should remain connected for a pre-determined amount of time, and also provide reactive power to support the grid voltage. This is called low-voltage ride through (LVRT). LVRT control method for wind power generation systems under unbalanced and harmonic conditions is a well-developed research topic. However, too little attention has been paid to the LVRT control method for three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems under grid fault conditions. This thesis proposes improved control methods for a three-phase three-leg and a three-phase four-leg PV power converter under grid fault conditions. For a three-phase three-leg PV system, an improved positive-negative-sequence control scheme and an instantaneous active-reactive power control strategy are suggested. These schemes are used to cancel the double grid frequency oscillations in the active power and reactive power of a three-phase grid-connected PV during unbalanced grid condition. These methods are also effective to reduce the oscillations of Direct Current (DC)-link voltage that can be detrimental for DC-link capacitor.
