Abstract

A low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) is an ancillary service provided to a power grid to stabilize the grid voltage under weak grid conditions. Under these circumstances, a short-term disturbance is allowed to be ride-through to prevent unnecessary nuisance tripping during weak grid conditions. The main objective of this paper is to propose an active power curtailment strategy for a 1.038 MW grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system to enhance the LVRT capability. A simple current limiter was applied to regulate the excessive DC-link voltage while the reactive power was controlled by a PI-tuning controller to maintain the voltage profile. Using MATLAB/Simulink environment, the dynamic behaviors of the proposed system were tested under 70 voltage sag and it was found that the proposed strategy is successful in curtailing the active power during low-voltage conditions and the excessive DC-link voltage can be controlled. Meanwhile, the whole system can maintain its operation without inverter disconnection and the voltage profile was improved even under weak grid conditions. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
