When the optimal PV system capacity ratio and power limit value are taken, the annual damage of the IGBT in the photovoltaic inverter is 0.847% and the net increase of power generation is 8.31%, realizing the increase of photovoltaic power generation while the annual damage of IGBT and power generation loss due to power limit is relatively low.
In response to this problem, the literature proposed a novel control strategy to limit the power generation, thereby improving the PV inverter lifetime. For a specific photovoltaic inverter system, there should be an optimal PV system capacity ratio and power limit value, taking into account inverter damage and increasing power generation.
The literature considers the capacity ratio of photovoltaic panels, and designs the rated power of photovoltaic arrays higher than that of photovoltaic inverters, so that more power can be generated during off-peak periods. However, during the peak period, the PV output power is large, thus causing damage to the photovoltaic inverter.
Photovoltaic (PV) energy has been the largest share of all renewable energy investments in recent years. As the cost of photovoltaic arrays and installation comes down, there will be a greater proportion of PV access. PV inverter is a key component of photovoltaic system.
