Читать книгу Smart Solar PV Inverters with Advanced Grid Support Functionalities - Rajiv K. Varma - Страница 52

In 2010, EPRI performed a smart inverter functionality survey of inverter manufacturers [93]. It subsequently published a pioneering report in 2013 (updated in 2016), on Smart Inverters describing a range of smart inverter functions including reactive power control and active power control of solar PV inverters for accomplishing several grid support functions [36].

In 2013, with lessons learned from the German experience, California decided to proactively update its interconnection Rule 21 requiring implementation of several smart inverter functions in the DER inverters seeking connection in California [99]. The Smart Inverter Working Group (SIWG) was formed out of a collaboration between the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and California Energy Commission (CEC), that identified the development of advanced inverter functionality as an important strategy to mitigate the impact of high penetrations of DERs [99].
