Abstract

For the overvoltage problem brought by the access of high-penetration photovoltaic power plants to the low-voltage distribution network, this paper chooses to deal with it by using the reactive power regulation capability of photovoltaic power plant inverters, which reduces the equipment investment in distribution line voltage regulation. Based on the reactive power regulation theory of the inverter, a finite set model predictive direct power control method is proposed by constructing a virtual voltage vector, taking a single-phase cascaded 2H bridge grid-connected inverter as an example, to realize independent control of active and reactive power. By setting different power reference values, the inverter can be made to have two functions: grid-connected per-unit power factor and reactive power control during overvoltage. Finally, the two modes of inverter operation are verified by Simulink simulation, and the verification by example shows that the method can limit the grid-connected voltage deviation to within 7% and meet the requirements of grid-connected regulations.
