Are inverters a threat to power systems?Findings in various regions suggest that a significant proportion of resources based on inverters can lead to several issues, including voltage and frequency instability, thereby threatening the security of the power system [7, 10], which can be exacerbated when associated with small and weakly interconnected grids .
What frequency should a PV inverter be tripped?In the NEM, the FOS requires power system frequency to remain in the range 49.5 Hz – 50.5 Hz for a single contingency event. The data above indicates there would be no tripping of the PV inverters in response to the frequency disturbance in this instance.
Do inverter-dominated grids affect frequency stability?The frequency response is assessed following largest power infeed loss by plants technology (IBR or synchronous generator). The results demonstrate that inverter-dominated grid mainly impact frequency stability rather than voltage stability, with the disconnection of weaker PV plants during faults leading to underfrequency load shedding.
