Typhoon HIL Webinar: Advanced control of PV inverter under Grid Imbalance utilizing C-HIL

Watch the recorded webinar with Zoran Miletic from the Austrian Institute of Technology on Thursday August 8th, 2019.

A typical three-phase PV inverter is designed to operate under balanced grid voltage conditions. At low voltage distribution grid, beyond utility power meters, grid imbalance conditions can be often found. Under these circumstances, a typical three-phase PV inverter with conventional control exhibits poor performance resulting in potential loss of power, long term reliability issue due to power oscillations in the DC bus as well as overloading and tripping. This webinar presents how to optimal control a three-phase PV inverter under grid voltage unbalance.

In this webinar you will learn:

How grid voltage unbalance may negatively affect PV inverters with state-of-the art control
How to utilize Controller-Hardware in the Loop technology (C-HIL) to assess the impact of the grid unbalance
How to design an advanced control to combat grid unbalance
How to utilize Controller-Hardware in the Loop technology (C-HIL) to validate advanced control of PV inverters for grid unbalance

Agenda:

1. Introduction

2. Presentation

On Grid Unbalance and its negative impact on PV inverters
Assessment of impact of the Grid Unbalance on PV inverters Design of Advance control of PV inverter to mitigate Grid Unbalance

3. Live Q&A
