DSP - Based Islanding Protection for Photovoltaic Grid Connected Inverter

Abstract:

This research presents the DSP - based islanding protection for photovoltaic grid connected inverter with under / over frequency and under / over voltage islanding protection methods. The design is based on the TMS320VC33PGE digital signal processor on the NI SPEEDY 33 board from National Instrument Inc. The prototype is monitor the grid frequency and grid voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) between the photovoltaic grid connected inverter, the local load and the distribution. The results of study, the prototype can turn off relay between photovoltaic grid connected inverter and utility grid when the frequency is change under 48Hz or over 52Hz and the voltage is change under 200V or over 240V.
