A new method to determine inverter-grid system stability using only the inverter output impedance and the grid impedance is developed in this paper. It will be shown that a grid-connected inverter will remain stable if the ratio between the grid impedance and the inverter output impedance satisfies the Nyquist stability criterion.
A single-phase solar inverter is studied to demonstrate the application of the proposed method. Grid-connected inverters are known to become unstable when the grid impedance is high.
There have been many studies on the influence of the unbalanced grid impedance on the stability of grid-connected inverters [29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35]. The multi-input multi-output (MIMO) impedance model has been established for inverters under the unbalanced grid condition.
We have talked about sizing your inverter and how the location of your solar power panels can effect the costs of installing a solar power system. One of the concerns we have come across is “Impedance”; this is also an important factor to keep in mind when building/designing a solar power system.
With the continuous increase in distributed energy resources that are being integrated into the utility grid, it becomes necessary for inverters to estimate the grid impedance online to be used for several applications.
