[0002] The photovoltaic inverter and the PCS are a kind of main equipment connecting photovoltaic power generation system and power grid, both have the function of converting DC into AC. However, since the photovoltaic inverter and the PCS are essentially power electronic devices, they will have different degrees of impact on the power grid, which is of great significance to the safety and effectiveness of the photovoltaic power generation system.
