Three-phase string inverter systems convert the DC power generated by the photovoltaic (PV) panel arrays into the AC power fed into a 380 V or higher three-phase grid connection.
Most residential solar panels generate between 16-40 volts DC, with an average of around 30 volts per panel under ideal conditions. However, the actual voltage fluctuates based on temperature, sunlight intensity, shading, panel age and quality.
Once the set threshold is reached, the smart meter sends signals to the inverter to switch off and stop any more power from being exported to the grid. The excess power is then usually lost as heat energy, although it is sometimes redirected to the ground.
"The ability to fine-tune voltage output has become the holy grail of energy management systems," notes Dr. Emily Zhang, IEEE Power Electronics Society.
Finally, this article describes the outline of the voltage and current-based double closed-loop grid-connected inverter control strategy, establishes the corresponding mathematical model, and analyzes and analyzes the three commonly used full-bridge inverter SPWM modulation.
