The control strategy based on predictive current is proposed to solve problems that destruct stable operation of grid-connected photovoltaic system during asymmetrical fall. A mathematical model of PV inverter is established to calculate current instruction; a method of tracking based on predictive current is proposed to reduce the fluctuations of 2 times frequency. In the meantime, PV inverter provides reactive power to support voltage recovery according to the depth of grid voltage sags and realize LVRT. The result also shows that the proposed control strategy can reduce wave of DC voltage and provide reactive power to support voltage recovery.

With the innovative progresses in power electronics in recent years, photovoltaic (PV) systems emerged as one of the promising sources for electricity generation at the distribution network. Nonetheless, connection of PV power plants to the utility grid under abnormal conditions has become a significant issue and novel grid codes should be recommend. The low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability is one of the challenges faced by the integration of PV power stations into electrical grid under abnormal conditions. This work firstly provides a discussion on recent control schemes for PV power plants to enhance the LVRT capabilities. Next, a control scheme for a three-phase four-leg grid-connected PV inverter under unbalanced grid fault conditions using synchronous reference frame proportional integral (SRFPI) controller is proposed. Simulation studies are performed to investigate the influence of the control strategy on the PV inverter.

The active and reactive power decoupling control of photovoltaic system is analyzed in this paper. The DC-DC and DC-AC two level photovoltaic inverter model are built on the RTDS. A new type LVRT control strategy about photovoltaic system is proposed. In the symmetrical grid drop fault case, photovoltaic system output reactive power to support the grid voltage recovering and save reactive power equipment. The feasibility and effectiveness of the control strategy is verified by simulation and experiment on the RTDS.

This article deals with the vector control in dq axes of a three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic system with single-stage topology and low-voltage-ride-through capability. The photovoltaic generator is built using an array of several series-parallel Suntech PV modules and is modeled as a Lookup Table (two-dimensional; 2-D). The requirements adopted when grid voltage sags occur are based in both the IEC 61400-21 European normative and the allowed amount of reactive power to be delivered according to the Spanish grid code, which avoids the disconnection of the inverter under grid faults by a limitation in the magnitude of the three-phase output inverter currents. For this, the calculation of the positive- and negative-sequences of the grid voltages is made and a conventional three-phase Phase-Locked Loop is used for the inverter-grid synchronization, allowing the control of the active and reactive powers solely with the dq components of the inverter currents. A detailed enhanced flowchart of the control algorithm with low-voltage-ride-through capability is presented and several simulations and experiments using Matlab/SIMULINK and the Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation technique, respectively, are run for several types of one- and three-phase voltage sags in order to validate its behavior.
