Low voltage fault ride-through operation of a photo-voltaic system connected utility grid by using dynamic voltage support scheme

<p>This research suggests a control technique that makes use of a microgrid's energy storage and to enable low voltage ride through (LVRT) process with a flexible dynamic voltage support (DVS) system. First, the requirements for the microgrid's maximum DVS are stated, together with an explanation of how these requirements depend on the characteristics of the analogous network that the microgrid sees. In order to create a flexible DVS regardless of the changing system circumstances, reference signals for currents that are derived from maximum voltage tracking technique are suggested in this research. These signals take into account the challenges involved with real time parameter assessment in the context of transient voltage disruptions. Second, a control scheme is suggested to allow a microgrid's energy storage-based LVRT operation. Thirdly, a novel approach to energy storage sizing for LVRT operation is offered, taking into account the corresponding network characteristics, grid code requirements, and the rated current value of the power electronic converter. Real-time MATLAB simulations for low-voltage symmetrical faults are used to validate the suggested control technique.</p>
