Contact UsAbstract: Transient overvoltage (TOV) is an important design consideration for interconnecting inverter-based generation resources to a four-wire distribution system.
Transient overvoltages during single-line-to-ground faults are often mitigated by introducing external grounding transformers in traditional synchronous generator based power systems. These external grounding transformers are relatively ineffective for mitigating overvoltages in inverter based systems.
Inverters, whether used for photovoltaic (PV) systems or energy storage facilities, typically include internal fast overvoltage protection mechanisms designed primarily to protect the inverter itself from damaging transients.
Similarly, Fig. 14(b) demonstrates the overvoltages when the load pf is 0.9 and the apparent power is 463 kVA. This yields an active power output of 416.6 kW, and a GLR of 1.2 if the inverter output is kept constant at 500 kW. The observed maximum overvoltage in these experiment was close to 29%.
An inverter's response during faults depends on its control methodology, which can impact the overvoltage observed in the system during an unbalanced ground fault. A methodology is proposed to control the negative sequence impedance during a ground fault to help mitigate the potential of transient overvoltage.
Grid forming mode of operation for inverters has gained increased attention since it helps to increase power system resiliency. An inverter's response during faults depends on its control methodology, which can impact the overvoltage observed in the system during an unbalanced ground fault.
