Preface
The Indian economy has been growing at more than 8% since last three years. In spite of
the expected slow down in the global economy the Indian GDP is likely to grow at about 7%.
To grow at this rate one of the major requirement is to have uninterrupted supply of
energy. The primary use of energy is for electricity generation followed by fuel for
transportation. An Indian consumer consumes 512 kg of oil equivalent of energy for power,
transportation, industrial and domestic application in cities and rural areas.
The major source of energy is coal and oil other fuel sources contributing to produce
energy are gas, hydro, nuclear and renewable sources. Government of India has a mission of
power for all by 2012. Currently 44% of the 200 million Indian house holds do not use
electricity and 75 million rural households still use kerosene for lighting. This means
additional energy through grid interactive and distributed sources are required.
India has about 250 to 300 sunny days in most parts of the country. Annual solar energy
received approximately 5000 trillion KWh per year and the daily average solar energy
incident varies from 4.6-6.4 KWh per square meter. Per day, conductive arid condition and
minimal sun tracking, making it an ideal place for solar energy power plan.
Solar energy can be harnessed through two routes, namely photovoltaic and solar
thermal, by direct conversion to electrical energy and heat energy respectively. A variety of
photo voltaic technology enables the direct conversion of solar radiation into electricity. Avariety of PV systems have been developed for centralized applications like street lights
home lighting, stand alone PV power plants, building integrated PV systemsetc. solar
photovoltaic has a potential for grid interactive power plants.
The presented work reviews the working of PV inverters as a grid interactive plant, their
advantages and drawbacks plus recent and future trends in PV inverter system.

1. PV inverters introductionPV cells were first used to power satellites. Through the middle of the 1990s the most
common terrestrial PV applications were stand-alone systems located where connection to
the utility grid was impractical. By the end of the 1990s, PV electrical generation was cost-
competitive with the marginal cost of central station power when it replaced gas turbine
peaking in areas with high afternoon irradiance levels. Encouraged by consumer approval, a
number of utilities have introduced utility-interactive PV systems to supply a portion of their
total customer demand. Some of these systems have been residential and commercial
rooftop systems and other systems have been larger ground-mounted systems. PV systems
are generally classified as utility interactive (grid connected) or stand-alone. Orientation of
the PV modules for optimal energy collection is an important design consideration, whether
for a utility interactive system or for a stand-alone system. Best overall energy collection on
an Annual basis is generally obtained with a south-facing collector having a tilt at an angle
with the horizontal approximately 90% of the latitude of the site. For optimal winterperformance, a tilt of latitude +15 is best and for optimal summer performance a tilt of
latitude 15 is best. In some cases, when it is desired to have the PV output track utility
peaking requirements, a west-facing array may be preferred, since its maximum output will
occur during summer afternoon utility peaking hours.
Stand-alone PV systems are used when it is impractical to connect to the utility grid.
Common standalone systems include PV-powered fans, water pumping systems, portable
highway signs, and power systems for remote installations, such as cabins, communications
repeater stations. The PV modules must supply all the energy required unless another form
of backup power. Stand-alone systems also often incorporate battery storage to run thesystem under low sun or no sun conditions.
Utility-interactive PV systems are classified by IEEE Standard 929 as small, medium, or
large (ANSI/IEEE, 1999). Small systems are less than 10 kW, medium systems range from 10
to 500 kW, and large systems are larger than 500 kW. Each size range requires different
consideration for the utility interconnect. In addition to being able to offset utility peak
power, the distributed nature of PV systems also results in the reduction of load on
transmission and distribution lines. Normally, utility-interactive systems do not incorporate
any form of energy storage they simply supply power to the grid when they are
operating. In some instances, however, where grid power may not be as reliable as the usermay desire, battery backup is incorporated to ensure uninterrupted power.

2. PV cell typesA solar panel (photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) is a packaged interconnected
assembly of solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells. The solar panel is used as a
component in a larger photovoltaic system to offer electricity for commercial and residential
applications. Because a single solar panel can only produce a limited amount of power,
many installations contain several panels. This is known as a photovoltaic array. A
photovoltaic installation typically includes an array of solar panels, an inverter, batteries and
interconnection wiring. Photovoltaic systems are used for either on- or off-grid applications,
and for solar panels on spacecraft.
Solar panels use light energy (photons) from the sun to generate electricity through the
photovoltaic effect. The structural (load carrying) member of a module can either be the top
layer (superstrate) or the back layer (substrate). The majority of modules use wafer-based
crystalline silicon cells or a thin-film cell based on cadmium telluride or silicon. Crystalline
silicon, which is commonly used in the wafer form in photovoltaic (PV) modules, is derived
from silicon, a commonly used semi-conductor.
In order to use the cells in practical applications, they must be:
connected electrically to one another and to the rest of the system Protected from mechanical damage during manufacture, transport, installation
and use (in particular against hail impact, wind and snow loads). This is especiallyimportant for wafer-based silicon cells which are brittle.
Protected from moisture, which corrodes metal contacts and interconnects, (andfor thin-film cells the transparent conductive oxide layer) thus decreasing
performance and lifetime.
Most modules are usually rigid, but there are some flexible modules available, based
on thin-film cells. Electrical connections are made in series to achieve a desired output
voltage and/or in parallel to provide a desired amount of current source capability.

Layout of a grid tie PV inverter system
Above figure shows the basic layout of a grid tie pv inverter system. The main
components of this system are PV arrays, inverter and other control accessories. First the PV
arrays convert the solar power in to dc electricity. Then the DC output of PV arrays is given
to the inverter which converts the DC form into AC. As most of the inverters are based on
PWM technique their output is not purely sinusoidal. So a filter is connected with the
inverter to produce purely sinusoidal electricity.
To utilize the output of this system more efficiently other control systems like
maximum power point tracker, auto wake up systems and other control accessories are also
connected with this system which are discussed in detail further.
Now, let us understand the functions of PV inverter system in detail.
Inversion function

8/25

The method by which dc power from the PV array is converted to ac power is known
as inversion. Other than for use in small off-grid systems and small solar gadgets, using
straight dc power from a PV array, module or cell is not very practical. Although many things
in our homes and businesses use dc power, large loads and our electrical power
infrastructure are based on ac power. This dates back to the early days of Edison versus
Tesla when ac won out over dc as a means of electrical power distribution. An important
reason that ac won out is because it can be stepped up and travel long distances with low
losses and with minimal material. This could change in the distant future if more of our
energy is produced, stored and consumed by means of dc power. Today, the technology
exists to boost dc electricity to high voltages for long distance transfer, but it is very complex
and costly. For the foreseeable future, ac will carry electricity between our power plants,
cities, homes and businesses. In an inverter, dc power from the PV array is inverted to ac
power via a set of solid state switchesMOSFETs or IGBTsthat essentially flip the dc
power back and forth, creating ac power. Diagram shows basic operation in a single-phase
inverter.
Filters
As most of the inverters work on the bases of PWM technique filters are essential
part of a PV inverter systems. These convert PWM output of an inverter into pure sinusoidal
output. Filters are also used to filter the noise and spikes from semiconductor components.
Other filters required in this system are EMI/RFI (electro magnetic interference/ radio
frequency interference).
Maximum power point tracking
Maximum Power Point Tracking, frequently referred to as MPPT, is an electronicsystem that operates the Photovoltaic (PV) modules in a manner that allows the modules to
-
8/4/2019 Pv Recovered)

produce all the power they are capable of. MPPT is not a mechanical tracking system that
physically moves the modules to make them point more directly at the sun. MPPT is a fully
electronic system that varies the electrical operating point of the modules so that the
modules are able to deliver maximum available power. Additional power harvested from
the modules is then made available as increased battery charge current. MPPT can be used
in conjunction with a mechanical tracking system, but the two systems are completely
different.
PV modules have a characteristic I-V curve that includes a short-circuit current value
(Isc) at 0 Vdc, an open-circuit voltage (Voc) value at 0 A and a knee at the point the MPP is
foundthe location on the I-V curve where the voltage multiplied by the current yields the
highest value, the maximum power. Diagram shows the MPP for a module at full sun in a
variety of temperature conditions. As cell temperature increases, voltage decreases. Module
performance is also irradiance dependent. When the sun is brighter, module current is
higher; and when there is less light, module current is lower. Since sunlight intensity and cell
temperature vary substantially throughout the day and the year, array MPP current andvoltage also move significantly, greatly affecting inverter and system design.

The above figure shows the characteristics of current and power versus the terminal
voltages.
MPPT shall be fast enough to increase the energy extraction by following the
isolation level closely but not too fast to cause the instability. Tracking along the left slopeof the power curve is not stable so should be avoided. MPPT shall take the grid voltage into
account while tracking lower. If DC bus voltage drops too low but grid voltage is higher, the
quality of the current to the grid will suffer.
Auto wake-up system
The PV inverter shall be able to wake up when the available power is more than the
total loss of the inverter system. Pre-mature wake up will cause negative power flow from
the grid thus hampers the energy production. Delayed wake up also hampers the energy
production. Since the available power changes with weather condition, the wake up
algorithm has to be adaptive in nature.
Grid disconnection (islanding mode detection)
-
8/4/2019 Pv Recovered)
11/25
11
As required by UL 1741 and IEEE 1547, all grid-tied inverters must disconnect from
the grid if the ac line voltage or frequency goes above or below limits prescribed in the
standard. The inverter must also shut down if it detects an island, meaning that the grid is
no longer present. In either case, the inverter may not interconnect and export power until
the inverter records the proper utility voltage and frequency for a period of 5 minutes.
These protections eliminate the chance that a PV system will inject voltage or current into
disconnected utility wires or switchgear and cause a hazard to utility personnel. If an
inverter remained on or came back on before the utility was reliably reconnected, the PV
system could back feed a utility transformer. This could create utility pole or medium
voltage potentials, which could be many thousands of volts. A significant battery of tests is
performed on every grid-tied inverter to make certain that this situation can never occur.
The figure shown here represents the islanding operation of an inverter. Upper
waveform shows the output voltages of inverter and the waveform shown below represents
the line or grid voltages.
Scale:
Vertical- 200V/div.
Horizontal -100ms/div.
After 650 ms the inverter shuts down this is in the permissible limits declared by IEEE 1547.
4. Other protections and controlsGround fault protection
-
8/4/2019 Pv Recovered)
12/25
12
For a grounded system, the ground fault occurs when DC terminal of PV array touches
the chassis. Current flows through the ground to the negative terminal first then goes to the
positive through the PV cells. The current sensor on the wire between the negative and the
ground terminal will pick up the fault. Inverters shall shutdown and disconnect itself from
the grid as well as the PV array as soon as the ground fault is detected. The ground fault
current shall be interrupted.
Ac over current detection and protection
Grid Transients or grid faults can cause over current condition. Fault in transformer
or line filter can also cause over current condition. Faulty switching devices can cause dead
short circuit. Over current fault shall shutdown the unit and disconnect from the grid. For
this purpose proper protective devices must be connected with the system.

13/25
13
Single phase open detection
Loss of any phase of the grid shall be detected and the inverter shall be shutdown to
avoid possible safety hazard. Loss of a phase can be detected by using current sensors on
each phase. If the output transformer is external to the inverter, the single phase open shall
be detected on both sides of the transformer.
Thermal requirements
The inverter system and components shall not attain a temperature at any operating
condition so as to result in risk of overheating, fire, or insulation damage. Junction
temperature of switching devices shall be maintained below maximum allowed value (e.g.
120 C). Solar inverters are generally installed outdoor so shall handle extreme temperature
conditions like40 C to 50 C. Solar power is not generated uniformly through out the day so
the cooling system does not have to be turned ON all the time. A power output basedcooling system control shall be designed to improve the efficiency.
Dc bus over voltage and over current protection
When DC bus exceeds the designed maximum voltage (e.g. 600V), the inverter shall
shutdown and array shall be disconnected from the DC bus to protect the DC bus
Capacitors, Disconnects and Wire Insulations. Also, inverter shall be able to identify the
reverse polarity of the DC connection and warn the installer and remain in sleep state.
Over current can be caused by too low DC bus voltage, higher AC grid voltagetransient, and enhanced solar condition or due to some hardware failure/short circuit in DC
bus circuitry or wrong DC bus connection. The inverter shall be shutdown and isolated from
the grid as well as the PV array when the over current condition occurs.
5. Monitoring software and meteringTo reliably control the inverter, the software designed to run on the inverters digital
signal processor or microcontroller is developed over years of code writing and debugging.
The most critical control is the one driving the power stage. This creates the PWM
waveforms that generate the sine waves ending up on the utility grid and at the buildings
loads. Software also controls the inverters interaction with the grid and drives all the
appropriate UL 1741 and IEEE 1547 required controls and events. Another part of thesoftware controls the MPPT function that varies the dc voltage and current level as required
-
8/4/2019 Pv Recovered)
14/25
14
to accurately and quickly follow the moving MPP of the PV array. All of these major
functions, as well as a multitude of others, are carried out in unison like an orchestra.
Software is used to drive the contactor that places the inverter on the grid in the morning
and off the grid at night. Software controls temperature limits and optimizes cooling system
controls. Software, its development history and robustness, is a critical element in any
inverter.
The metering aspect will form part
of the Connection Agreement. "Net
metering", where exported units run
the meter backwards (making the PV-
generated unit selling price effectively
the same as the purchase rate for
utility- supplied electricity), is seen as
the most attractive option for PV
system owners and gives quite anattractive rate of return (some
estimates have shown that this
method can contribute approximately
15% of the PV system cost recovery).
However, for any electricity
import/export arrangement, a meter
with two separate metering registers is required. It is not satisfactory to allow the meter to
simply run backwards for exported units, since this leaves the meter open to fraudulent
abuse. In any case, the commonly used Ferraris electro-mechanical meter is mechanically
damped to prevent the meter from rotating backwards. Also, modern electronic meters can
be programmed to run only in one direction (i.e. only forwards), again to combat meterfraud. A more conventional approach is to use a PV-generated unit selling price equivalent
to the electricity pool price (approximately1
/3of the domestic purchase rate). However, the
cost of the two-way import/export meter becomes a major cost factor for smaller PV
installations. For smaller systems the value of units exported is likely to be small and so it
may be beneficial to ensure that as much of the PV output as possible is used within the
house.
6. Testing of a PV systemVarious tests on PV systems are performed to check its performance under various
conditions. Here some of the tests recommended by underwriters laboratory are
mentioned. The main tests are
a) Normal safety related tests
-
8/4/2019 Pv Recovered)
15/25
15
b) Abnormal safety related testsc) Performance related tests
In normal safety related tests the dielectricstrength, over current capacity, thermal stress
capacity, ground fault detection, anti islanding mode
testsetc are conducted. For the testing of islanding
mode a dummy load of parallel R-L-C network is
connected with the pv inverter systems.
In abnormal safety related tests overload capacity tests, short circuit tests, single
phase tests; dc reverse polarity tests.etc are conducted. And in performance related tests
harmonic tests, maximum power point tracking tests and wake-up strategy tests are done.
7. Future trends
Future advances in central grid-tied invertersand eventually string inverters as wellwill likely also include some type of utility interaction to support the grid in times of distress.
This might include the inverter remaining online during a brownout or other voltage events,
even during frequency events, giving the utility more time to make adjustments or isolate
circuits to remedy the problem and preventing even larger grid instability or a propagated
blackout. Currently, if the grid voltage or frequency goes outside of the windows specified in
IEEE 1547, all grid-tied inverters must go offline, which likely accelerates grid failure. Utility
control of PV inverters and other discontinuous sources might make it possible to remedy
some grid problems. Because inverters draw their sine wave current waveforms in many
increments, the differential control of these increments can help specifically to adjust the
grid voltage waveform, minimizing or correcting power factor or other problems created bycertain loads in the area. Another area for the advancement of inverters and grid tied
-

renewable energy systems will likely involve energy storage. As a larger portion of our
power generation capacity comes from discontinuous sources of energy, like PV and wind,
storage becomes more important. A future component of large commercial PV systems
might include on-site energy storage with utility control or based on time of use costs for
electricity. With increasing amounts of PV power processed by DSP-controlled inverters,
there are many critical functions that inverters can incorporate as the industry progresses.
As these potentials are realized, PV power will become an increasingly widespread and
important portion of our energy infrastructure.

8. ConclusionWe can conclude that in the rising era of usage of renewable energy sources, solar
energy is abundantly available energy, so usage of solar as a renewable will increase in
future. PV inverters are the easiest method to convert solar energy than the other
methods. The installation of a PV system is easy and it can be installed near the load, so
negligible transmission losses. Even PV systems can be installed inside the houses so we
can reduce the electricity bills and if we are connecting these systems to grid then we
can get compensation in electricity bills.
The costs of PV cells are higher but they are reducing gradually. Research work in
various organizations is in progress to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of PV
cells.
