IEC TS 63217 pdf – Utility-interconnected photovoltaic inverters – Test procedure for over voltage ride-through measurements
1 Scope
This document provides a test procedure for evaluating the performance of Over VoltageRide-Through (OVRT) functions in inverters used in utility-interconnected photovoltaic (PV)systems.
This document is most applicable to large systems where PV inverters are connected to utilityhigh voltage (HV) distribution systems.However, the applicable procedures may also be usedfor low volitage (LV) installations in locations where evolving OVRT requirements include suchinstallations,e.g.single-phase or 3-phase systems.
Fundamentally,the assessed OVRT performance is valid only for the specific configurationand operational mode of the inverter’ under test. Separate assessment is required for theinverter in other factory or user-settable configurations,as these may cause the inverteroVRT response to behave differently.
The measurement procedures are designed to be as non-site-specific as possible,so that: OVRT characteristics measured at one test site, for example, can also be considered valid at
. other sites.
This document is for testing of PV inverters,though it contains information that may also beuseful for testing of a complete PV power plant consisting of multiple inverters connected at a
single point to the utility grid. lt further provides a basis for utility-interconnected PV invertersnumerical simulation and model validation.
