A smart PV inverter can help regulate voltage by absorbing and injecting reactive power (Var) to/from the grid by using the Volt-Var control function. This paper presents an experimental analysis of the inverter Volt-Var control method for voltage regulation.
To evaluate the smart inverter''s Volt-Var control function and its ability to follow the user defined input control curve, voltage set points for the Volt-Var control curve are chosen such that the inverter will operate in more than one Region. Fig. 13 illustrates the input Volt-Var control curve for the smart PV inverter.
The major advantage of using a PV inverter to regulate voltage is in its ability to shift power quickly as it is a power electronic device. As a result, power utilities are considering the use of installed smart PV inverters as voltage regulators at the distribution level.
This paper concentrates on the efficient utilization of smart inverters for Volt/Var control (VVC) within a distribution system. Although new smart inverters possess Var support capability, their effective deployment necessitates coordination with existing Volt/Var schemes.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
