Grid interconnection of PV power generation system has the advantage of more effective utilization of generated power. However, the technical requirements from both the utility power system grid side and the PV system side need to be satisfied to ensure the safety of the PV installer and the reliability of the utility grid.
The energy production of a grid-connected PV system depends on various factors. Among these we distinguish the rated characteristics of the components of the PV system, the installation configuration, the geographical siting of the PV system, its surrounding objects, and defects that occur during its operation.
Grid-connected PV systems enable consumers to contribute unused or excess electricity to the utility grid while using less power from the grid. The application of the system will determine the system’s configuration and size. Residential grid-connected PV systems are typically rated at less than 20 kW.
However, when the PV plant is connected to the grid, special attention has to be paid to the reliability of the system, the power quality, and the implementation of protection and grid synchronization functions.
This paper presents an overview of the existing PV energy conversion systems, addressing the system configuration of different PV plants, and the PV converter topologies that have found practical applications for grid-connected systems.
All the grid-connected PV power plants that have been successfully demonstrated in China are client grid-connected modules with low voltage. Their power generation capacity is relatively small and they do not dispatch power through the network; hence they have little impact on the normal running of the power network.
