Due to the fast growth of single-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, the existing grid codes are expected to be modified to guarantee the availability, quality, and reliability of the electrical system. Therefore, the future single-phase PV systems should become smarter and support low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability, which are required for three-phase wind power systems. In this paper, the operation principle of a flyback inverter in a low-voltage ride-through operation is demonstrated in order to map future challenges. The steady state performance of the flyback inverter under voltage rise and drop conditions at boundary conduction mode (BCM) and discontinues conduction mode (DCM) is studied theoretically. The simulation results of the flyback inverter for various grid faults are presented to verify the theoretical analyses. The results indicate the fact that the flyback inverter at BCM condition can provide LVRT capability for photovoltaic microinverter applications in distributed generation (DG) systems, even though it does not need any auxiliary control branches and any limitations in components design.

The progressive growing of single-phase photovoltaic (PV) systems makes the Distribution System Operators (DSOs) update or revise the existing grid codes in order to guarantee the availability, quality, and reliability of the electrical system. It is expected that the future PV systems connected to the low-voltage grid will be more active with functionalities of low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) and the grid support capability, which is not the case today. In this paper, the operation principle is demonstrated for a single-phase grid-connected PV system in a low-voltage ride-through operation in order to map future challenges. The system is verified by simulations and experiments. Test results show that the proposed power control method is effective and the single-phase PV inverters connected to low-voltage networks are ready to provide grid support and ride-through voltage fault capability with a satisfactory performance based on the grid requirements for three-phase renewable energy systems.

The exiting of wind turbines will cause the adverse effect on the power grid and its assembling unit in network voltage drops. So, direct-drive wind power generation system should meet the requirement of the certain ability of low voltage. This paper introduces the influence of wind power system with different structure by voltage drop as well as the disadvantage and advantage on LVRT. The relate regulations based on LVRT are analyzed. The existing LVRT technologies of direct-drive wind power systems are briefly presented. The characteristics of each scheme from the different LVRT technology are analyzed. Moreover, further study of LVRT for PMSG is pointed out.
