Abstract :
Inverter current limiting in islanded networks during unbalanced faults can cause voltage distortion. By using the control system to emulate a parallel impedance, this distortion can be avoided whilst current control is maintained and fault current is delivered to the fault. Experimental results from a 10kVA inverter system are provided to verify the theoretical analysis that has been developed.
