Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic inverter grid connection testing technology, specifically to a testing system and method for the grid harmonic adaptability of photovoltaic inverters. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the gradual depletion of fossil fuels such as oil and coal and the increasing severity of environmental pollution, the photovoltaic grid-connected power generation industry has developed rapidly. The photovoltaic grid-connected inverter is a key piece of equipment in a photovoltaic power generation system. An inverter is a conversion device that transforms direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) to supply power to loads. Since photovoltaic systems generate DC power, an inverter must be configured to supply AC loads. An inverter is a conversion device that uses power semiconductor switches to control the conversion of DC power into AC power. Therefore, its functionality and reliability verification are crucial for the stable operation of the photovoltaic power generation system and the quality of the power grid. In the power grid connected to the inverter, many industrial and residential electrical devices with characteristics such as low power factor, nonlinearity, asymmetry, and impulsiveness are connected, resulting in a high amount of harmonics in the power grid. The presence of these harmonics can affect the operation of the inverter and even damage it. Therefore, before a photovoltaic inverter is connected to the grid, its grid harmonic adaptability needs to be tested to prevent damage caused by harmonics.
