The future of intelligent, robust, and adaptive control methods for PV grid-connected inverters is marked by increased autonomy, enhanced grid support, advanced fault tolerance, energy storage integration, and a focus on sustainability and user empowerment.
In order to provide grid services, inverters need to have sources of power that they can control. This could be either generation, such as a solar panel that is currently producing electricity, or storage, like a battery system that can be used to provide power that was previously stored.
Multi-level topologies allow the use of 900 V and 650 V SiC and GaN devices in 1500 V PV systems . In the literature, efficiencies of 99 % for PV inverters with SiC devices are reported, even if the higher cost is actually a limit for practical industrial use .
In light of the growth of distribution networks toward smart grid, as stated in Annex D of the standard, it is important to create a set of signals aimed at distribution network governance, e. g according with CEI EN 61850 protocol as suggested by Italian standard.
