Power electronics, inverter-interfaced distributed generator (IIDG), dynamic response, fault current, analytical expressionAbstract
The fault current characteristics of inverter interfaced distributed
generators (IIDGs) are very different from those of traditional synchro-
nous generator. Prior to the fault current analysis of IIDG, a control
strategy for low voltage ride-through (LVRT) of IIDG is proposed to meet
the grid code. Then the fault current characteristics of IIDG are analyzed
based on the study of dynamic responses of the inverter under conditions
of symmetric faults and asymmetric faults. Meanwhile, the analytical
expressions of the fault current of IIDG are obtained. Finally, the fault cur-
rent characteristics of IIDG are validated with simulation studies.
