Measured harmonic values ​​of solar inverters

4 FAQs about Measured harmonic values ​​of solar inverters

Do PV inverters cause harmonic current levels?

The harmonic current levels caused by PV inverters employed in distributed generation have been widely studied in the literature but are limited to simulated data and low power capacities. The authors in, studied the total harmonic distortion (THD) using simulated data of a 1.2 MW PV power system up to harmonic 31.

What is the current total harmonic distortion of a solar inverter?

Typically, one will find a Current Total Harmonic Distortion of 3% stated in the datasheet for a quality-brand inverter, as seen here. In Singapore, for a Grid-Tied Solar PV connection, the Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) (i.e Qualified Person) will have to submit the inverter's PQ-related type test report to the Grid operator (SP Group).

Do solar inverters emit harmonic emissions?

Studies on the harmonic emissions of PV inverters used in utility-scale power systems are lacking, despite the fact that they account for the majority of the installed solar PV capacity worldwide. In this regard, the present study is performed in a grid-connected 12 MW PV power plant in operation in Europe.

Do inverter harmonics depend on power level?

The results obtained at inverter level indicate considerable differences in the emitted spectrum, the dependence of harmonics on the generated power level and the correlation between current and voltage harmonics.
