Abstract

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is heavily integrated with the power system network through power electronic converters. Such power electronic converter-based distributed generators (DGs) increase the vulnerability of the system due to AC and DC side faults. This paper proposes an efficient adjustable duty-based controller of modified bridge fault current limiter (MBFCL) for solar PV integrated DG system. The advantages of the proposed approach are manifolds: simplest detection and control of system faults, autonomous duty to limit the fault current, and lossless operation during normal conditions. The detailed modeling for the MBFCL, solar PV, voltage source inverter (VSI) and DC-DC converter control, and fault detection and suppression control is presented. The MBFCL activation controller uses the simplest approach using point of common coupling (PCC) voltage and current. The root-mean-square (RMS) current deviation at PCC is used to adjust the duty cycle of MBFCL. To study the efficacy of the proposed control approach, several disturbances are applied in the system. The proposed approach outperforms in suppressing fault current over without current limiter and with traditional control-based current limiter as verified by the simulation studies.
