As the global energy landscape transitions towards higher integration of renewable energy sources and inverter-based resources (IBRs), the fundamental requirement for
The growing portion of renewable energy in the energy mix has led to the gradual emergence of weak or very weak grid characteristics with high impedance. In this context, the phase-locked loop (PLL) and its interaction with other key control links present a significant challenge to the stable operation of grid-connected inverters.
Abstract: The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into weak-grid environments presents unique challenges to the stability of grid-connected inverters. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the research efforts focused on investigating the stability of PV grid-connected inverters that operate under weak grid conditions.
With the large-scale penetration of renewable energy generation, grid-connected inverters have become an integral part of power generation systems. Due to the access of new energy equipment, the electric resistance at the point of common coupling, (PCC) is disturbed, and the power grid shows the weak grid characteristics, .
• The output impedance of the grid-connected inverter is shifted towards lower frequencies at the frequency intersection with the grid impedance frequency characteristics under the influence of the PLL, which may trigger low-frequency oscillations.
