The central inverter is considered the most important core equipment in the Mega-scale PV power plant which suffers from several partial and total failures. This paper introduces a new methodology for Failure Causes Analysis (FCA) of grid-connected inverters based on the Faults Signatures Analysis (FSA).
The fault diagnosis of PV grid-connected inverter is to determine whether the fault occurs, judge fault type, isolate and locate the fault . In this section, we will introduce the fault classification and location in the DC side. Due to the limitation of the inverter's DC structure, the fault classification process is relatively simple.
Since the two-stage PV inverter has an intermediate DC/DC link, there is a certain voltage difference between the PV module and DC capacitor, and the fault coupling degree of undervoltage is lower than that of overvoltage fault. According to the fault location, the fault causes can be divided into two types: DC short circuit and sampling error.
It performs similarity verification, adaptation and evaluation to obtain labels for the given fault data. Overall it is able to work as a satisfactory fault diagnostic technique. A fast clustering and Gaussian mixture model based fault prognostic technique for grid-tied PV inverter is presented .
Some authors discuss inverter failures due to the issues of reactive power control. The PV inverters operate at unity power factor, but as per the new grid requirements, the PV inverters must operate at non unity power factor by absorbing or supplying reactive power to control the grid voltage and frequency.
Due to the different mechanisms of DC faults caused by different causes, there are obvious differences in characteristic such as voltage and current. Using the fault features of grid-connected inverters, a fault diagnosis process combining multiple technical means is proposed.
