In this paper, a new method is demonstrated for online remote simulation of photovoltaic systems. The required communication technology for the data exchange is introduced and the methods of PV generator parameter extraction for the simulation models are analysed. The method shown for parameter extraction from the manufacturer data is especially useful for the commissioning procedure, where the measured installed power is transferred to standard test conditions using the simulation model and can then be easily compared with the design power. At a simulation accuracy of 2% using the software environment INSEL ® any problems with the PV generator can reliably be detected. Online simulation of a grid connected PV generator is then carried out during the operation of the photovoltaic plant. The visualisation includes both the monitored and the simulated online data sets, so that a very efficient fault detection scheme is available. The method is implemented and validated on several grid connected photovoltaic power plants in Germany. It is excellently suited to provide automatic and real time fault detection and significantly improve the commissioning procedure for photovoltaic plants of all sizes.
Current Harmonics Control Algorithm for inverter-fed Nonlinear Synchronous Electrical Machines
(2023)
Current harmonics are a well known challenge of electrical machines. They can be undesirable as they can cause instabilities in the control, generate additional losses and lead to torque ripples with noise. However, they can also be specifically generated in new methods in order to improve the machine behavior. In this paper, an algorithm for controlling current harmonics is proposed. It can be described as a combination of different PI controllers for defined angles of the machine with repetitive control characteristics for whole revolutions. The controller design is explained and important points where linearization is necessary are shown. Furthermore, the limits are analyzed and, for validation, measurement results with a permanently excited synchronous machine on the test bench are considered.
