Technical FAQs 4

Do inverters need supplemental grounding?

Effective grounding is a “power system” characteristic, affected by DER. Inverters’ need for supplemental grounding and their responses to ground fault and grid disconnection are significantly different than synchronous machines. 2020 Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Inc.

Does an inverter based distributed energy resource affect system grounding?

An Inverter based Distributed Energy Resource (DER) is expected to have an insignificant effect on the system grounding when in normal parallel operation with the Utility.

What is an inverter grounding design tool (isgt)?

An inverter grounding design tool (ISGT) is introduced. Effective grounding is a “power system” characteristic, affected by DER. Inverters’ need for supplemental grounding and their responses to ground fault and grid disconnection are significantly different than synchronous machines.

Do inverter-based der plants need supplemental grounding?

Effective grounding is a “power system” characteristic, affected by DER. Inverters’ need for supplemental grounding and their responses to ground fault and grid disconnection are significantly different than synchronous machines. Many classical power system grounding practices are not ideal for inverter-based DER plants.
