Technical FAQs 4

Do inverter based generators cause overvoltage?

Inverter-based technology typically have lower fault currents and negative sequence currents to minimise overvoltage on the DC bus capacitors. Some inverter-based generators have a large negative sequence impedance, which can result in temporary over-voltages during unbalanced faults.

How do inverter-based technologies behave during power system faults?

Inverter-based technologies behaviour during power system faults is governed by their control logic and settings. While most inverters inject only positive-sequence current, some also inject negative-sequence current to better control the voltages on the AC side of the inverter.

What is the output voltage of inverter 3 if three inverters are connected in parallel?

Taking the output voltage of inverter 3 when three inverters are connected in parallel as an example, it can be seen in Fig. 8(a) and (b) that when the unimproved control method is used, the output voltage of the system has a significant potential drop, about 290 V.

What happens when a load/inverter unit is switched?

It can be seen from Fig. 9 (a) and (b) that when the load/inverter unit is switched, the loop currents are generated. With the improved control method, there is only a brief current surge, and the amplitude is reduced by 50% compared with the original control method.
