Abstract :
Distributed power generation systems (DPGS) such as wind and solar become more and more widely spread. As a consequence grid operating companies demand system services. As part of the general fault ride through (FRT) requirements this paper deals with low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of a three-phase-four-wire grid-tied solar inverter. The standard system will be described and necessary changes to the control such as positive (PS), negative (NS) and zero sequence (ZS) separation, a stable phase-locked-loop (PLL) as well as voltage support by means of reactive current as well as stress factors to the hardware will be identified.
