Detection, location, and diagnosis of different faults in large solar
In the PV array, the mismatch fault is caused by the enormous rise in the current flowing through the non-current carrying conductors. This fault is known as the ground fault.
6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter current mismatch]
What is a voltage mismatch in a PV system?
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. In PV (Photovoltaic) systems, the PV array is a structure in which many PV strings are connected in parallel. The voltage mismatch between PV strings, in which PV modules are connected in a series, occurs due to a voltage decrease in some modules.
What causes a mismatch fault in a PV array?
In the PV array, the mismatch fault is caused by the enormous rise in the current flowing through the non-current carrying conductors. This fault is known as the ground fault. They are of two kinds, i.e. lower earth fault and upper earth fault.
How to diagnose current mismatch faults of PV modules based on I-V curve?
Online diagnosis of current mismatch faults of PV modules based on I-V curve. The characteristics of different types of current mismatch faults are studied. I-V features of current mismatch faults are explained with the reverse bias model. A method of I-V curve division and linear fitting is proposed to decouple mismatch.
What happens if a PV module is mismatched?
As the most common fault type, current mismatched fault leads to the decrease of the output current of the PV module resulting in a step in the I-V characteristic curves and multiple peaks in the P-V curves, such that the output power of the PV modules will be greatly affected.
What happens if a PV inverter fails?
If an inverter fails, the output current of PV arrays does not flow into the inverter because the electric circuit is disconnected. Thus, the PV arrays connected in parallel are in a closed loop. If there is no potential difference between PV arrays, the current rarely flows into any PV string.
How to overcome mismatch losses in a solar inverter?
Bidram et al. (2012) gave an over view of the various approaches. The main approaches to overcome mismatch losses are to either integrate a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) per PV string into the inverter ( Kjaer et al., 2005 ), or to include power optimizers ( Rogalla et al., 2010) in each PV module.
