Abstract
The steady rise in utility grid penetration of single phase solar photovoltaic system has contributed to the mandatory requirement of Low Voltage Ride-through (LVRT) capability. LVRT capability provides stable grid integration during transient conditions. A seamless LVRT capability operation in a single phase photovoltaic system using peak value based fault detection and Orthogonal Signal Generation (OSG) based voltage sag detection is conducted. In this paper, two controllers are employed for two different operations. The PQ theory controller is used for power control operation and Proportional–Resonant (PR) with Harmonic Compensation (HC) controller is used for current control operation in LVRT. MATLAB/Simulink verifies the LVRT operation mode as per the grid code requirements to ride through voltage sag during fault condition. It is observed that the system is in operation during transient conditions and provides reactive support to ride through the fault. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
