How circulating current flows between inverters?
The circulating current flows between inverters due to DC-offset voltage and fluctuation of AC output voltages. This strategy uses the fundamental voltage and phase droop scheme to allow the inverters to share their load currents and uses a DC-offset droop scheme in order to eliminate DC circulating current.
How does circulation current affect inverter performance?
A high level of circulation current causes inverter power losses to increase, which lowers the system's overall performance by decreasing its efficiency. In this paper, a novel simple and effective controller for parallel-connected inverters is proposed to ovoid the circulating currents among the inverters.
How do inverters work?
As can be seen in Figure 29, the circulating current is almost identical on the AC and DC sides of the inverters. After 3 seconds, the circuit breakers open the circuit due to the excess current and the circulating current drops. The inverters continue to modulate thus keeping the common-mode voltage up in the system.
What is circulating current in solar panels?
For example, the common-mode voltage in parallel-connected inverters can create circulating current between them. The circulating current can flow through the circuit consisting of parasitic capacitances of the solar panels or other components and the galvanic connection in the transformer.
Why is circulating current present in a parallel connected inverter system?
As already covered in chapter 2.4 the circulating current is present in the parallel-connected inverter system due to the common-mode voltage diference between the two inverters. In the laboratory measurements, the focus was in measuring the circulating currents of the setup as well as the common-mode voltages created by the two inverters.
How does a PV inverter work?
On the DC side of the inverter, the path for the common-mode current iCM runs through the parasitic capacitances of the solar panels. The common-mode current is called also a leakage current . In PV inverter systems, there is a residual-current device that should disconnect the system if the leakage current raises above a certain limit.
