This thesis investigates current limiting strategies aimed at protecting inverters from overheating or undesired tripping. The primary focus is on understanding the implications of the current limiter on the overall system performance and developing methodologies to mitigate any adverse effects on the outer control loops.
Fault induced will lead to overcurrents in grid forming inverters. Current limiting strategies are classified into voltage and current-based strategies. Transient current, current contribution and stability will depend on the strategy. Transient enhancing strategies are used to ensure the stability during faults.
The PV works in power limit mode, and the output current of the PV is reduced by controlling the boost converter. According to the photovoltaic I–V characteristic curve, the output voltage of the PV increases as a result and moves further away from the maximum power point.
The increase in bus voltage is used as the control signal of the PV output current to reduce the photovoltaic output current, such that the PV output power is reduced from 3000 W to the inverter power limit value of 1500 W, which meets the requirements of the inverter output power limit.
The results under two-phase and three-phase dip in the grid voltage shows that the proposed control strategy injects maximum reactive and active power and limits the inverter current by quickly activating the APC control loop during fault-ride-through period.
