Abstract: The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into weak-grid environments presents unique challenges to the stability of grid-connected inverters. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the research efforts focused on investigating the stability of PV grid-connected inverters that operate under weak grid conditions.
As an inverter-interfaced distributed generation (IIDG), PV system can cause additional impacts when compared to other traditional DGs. For example, due to the pulse width modulation (PWM) switching process, PV inverters may damage the grid power quality by injecting harmonic content and direct current (Chen et al. 2018; Hu et al. 2015).
PV power generation, as one important kind of renewable energy, has been greatly developed. In PV systems, inverters are the crucial parts in energy transmission. Many works have been done about the analysis and improvement of inverters’ stability. The stability problem in and after the designing of inverters are two important topics.
Many articles that analyze the PV impact under diferent fault scenarios adopt a fault current value to be injected by each PV system during the fault simulations. Although it is well established that the fault current of grid-connected PV inverters is limited, there are many articles adopting diferent limiting values.
With the development of PV generation, more and more inverters are connected into the power grid to supply power for users. The grid impedance then becomes large and brings serious challenges to inverter's stability [1 - 7]. This paper focuses on the stability problems when inverters are connected into weak power grid.
