Abstract:

Massive introduction of PV-installations may lead to overvoltages on distribution grids. Local energy storage and islanding are smart grid solutions to prevent energy loss caused by overvoltage. An all-in-one power electronic solution is presented offering battery charging, grid coupling and solar inverter with MPP tracking from a single inverter platform.
