Smart Pv Inverter Control For Distribution Systems, Ehsan M. Siavashi
Smart Pv Inverter Control For Distribution Systems, Ehsan M. Siavashi
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
PV solar systems employ inverters to transform dc power from solar panels into ac power for injecting into the power grids. Inverters that perform multiple functions in addition to real power production are known as “smart inverters”.
This thesis presents a novel control of PV inverter as a dynamic reactive power compensator – STATCOM. This “smart PV inverter” control enables a PV solar inverter to operate in three modes – i) Full PV, ii) Partial STATCOM, and iii) Full STATCOM, depending upon system needs. The novel control is developed and demonstrated for the objectives of a) symmetrical voltage regulation, b) …
