Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations. The basic components of these two configurations ...
There are two distinct methods to eliminate the leakage current in the solar PV array system: (i) obstruct the leakage current, (ii) reduce the variation/constant common-mode voltage. The additional diodes/switches are incorporated in the system to obstruct the leakage current by disconnecting the PV array from the grid side network.
Leakage current of the photovoltaic system, which is also known as the square matrix residual current, is essentially a kind of common mode current. The cause is that there is parasitic capacitance between the photovoltaic system and the earth.
Therefore, the leakage current is attained within permissible limits as per the revised VDE-00126-01 standard as evinced in Fig. 6a. Fig. 6b and Figs. 7a and b show the response of SECS at the variation of solar irradiation from 1000 to 800 W/m 2.
Standard and detection of leakage current According to the 7.10.2 regulation of NB32004-2013 standard, in any case where the solar inverter is connected to the AC grid and the AC breaker is turned off, the inverter should provide leak current detection.
The comparative analysis with the state-of-the-art techniques shows the effectiveness of the strategy. Under all test conditions, the harmonics in grid currents are observed within limits as per the IEEE-519 and IEC-61727 standards, whereas the PV leakage currents are maintained well within the range recommended by VDE-00126 standard.
