Abstract

Historically, electric power system operators have seen photovoltaic (PV) power systems as potential sources of problems due to intermittency and lack of controllability. However, the flexibility of power electronic inverters allows PV to provide grid-friendly features including volt-VAR control, ramp-rate control, high-frequency power curtailment, and event ride-through. Commercially available smart PV inverters can further provide frequency down-regulation by curtailing power, but they are unable to provide true frequency regulation through active power control (APC) because they are unable to increase power on command. This paper proposes a coordinated DC-link voltage control and deloading control for two-stage PV system to offer frequency support in an islanded microgrid without energy storage system (ESS). This paper proposes a predictive fuzzy logic based PV inverter control method for very fast and accurate control of active power
