Fault Types
GCPAs should:
• Remain connected to the grid during voltage sags for a specific period of
time.
(2) calculate active and reactive current references in the Positive Sequence (PS)
and Negative Sequence (NS);

Adv: it not only reduces grid voltage sag by supplying reactive power support but
also assists in rapidly rebuilding the voltage after faults are cleared.
Disadvantages
software methods reduce the reinjection speed of maximum real power and
weaken the dynamic performance of the power system.
Fault Detection
• SOGI-PLL system is used to detect the fault
condition by monitoring the grid voltage
frequency and the amplitude
VOLTAGE DIPS DETECTION
AND PHASE-LOOKED- LOOPS
Methods can obtain the exact voltage dip depth within half fundamental period
under ideal operation conditions
• Second-Order-Generalized- Integrator
(SOGI) method , superior in phase angle
calculation, not sensitive to harmonics,
reduced memory usage
•
Dynamic Performance
The general control strategies using
However; may occur overcurrent and open CB which means LVRT failure
• Voltage feed- forward method in the control loop of Dynamic Voltage Restorer
(DVR)
to acquire fast dynamic response and suppress the abrupt current change,
resulting in effective LVRT
Control under asymmetrical Faults
Assisted by the SSM, which avoids double-line frequency fluctuation in d-q frame,
.the interface converter can inject symmetrical and sinusoidal current to the grid
Control under Unsymmetrical Faults
• Dual Vector Current Control (DVCC)
• LVRT control strategy in the d-q reference frame for the grid-connected converters without
considering the characteristics of a renewable energy source, either PV or wind
• a three-phase system has been investigated, which offers six current control freedoms
with a zero-sequence current path to mitigate both active and reactive power oscillations
and also inject sinusoidal currents
• a constant dc source has been used; the negative effects of the unbalanced faults on the
capacitive dc-link have not been explored
• a flexible control strategy for operation of the three-phase PV inverters under unbalanced
faults
• improved the Dual Vector Current Control (DVCC) method to control the high peak currents
and minimize the power ripple
• control strategy is proposed that balances the PS and NS components utilizing the power
capacity of the inverter. However, the injected active and reactive power components still
contain oscillatory harmonics.
Research Plan
• Literature survey of grid connected Photovoltaic systems and low voltage ride
through techniques (software, hardware configurations).
• Modeling of a grid connected PV system to study the fault types which may
occur in such system.
• Propose a suitable control technique for FRT in the adopted Grid connected
PV system.
• Simulations of the system using one of the simulation software tools and
discuss the results.
(2) Elimination of double grid frequency oscillations from the injected active
power and the dc-link voltage under unbalanced voltage sag faults,
(3) A Non-MPPT operation mode for the dc-dc converter, which is enabled
under severe faults, when the converter cannot handle the maximum PV
power;
(4) an effective current limiting method that can restrict the injected currents
to the rated value.
