6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Photovoltaic inverter current mismatch”

What is a voltage mismatch in a PV system?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. In PV (Photovoltaic) systems, the PV array is a structure in which many PV strings are connected in parallel. The voltage mismatch between PV strings, in which PV modules are connected in a series, occurs due to a voltage decrease in some modules.

What happens if a PV module is mismatched?

A PV module current mismatch fault, such as partial shadow, hot spot, or cell cracks, will cause the output current of the module to decrease and the I-V curve to have a step. This seriously affects the output power and can even lead to safety issues.

What happens if a PV inverter fails?

If an inverter fails, the output current of PV arrays does not flow into the inverter because the electric circuit is disconnected. Thus, the PV arrays connected in parallel are in a closed loop. If there is no potential difference between PV arrays, the current rarely flows into any PV string.

What if voltage mismatch is less than 2 V?

Experiments were conducted to analyze the electrical characteristics of each case of voltage mismatch. If there is a non-uniformity of irradiance between PV strings or the operation of the bypass diode in PV modules, the voltage mismatch is less than 2 V.

How does output mismatch affect a PV system?

Output mismatch causes a considerable loss for the PV system, and various studies have been conducted to remedy it. The most common factor of output mismatch is partial shading. In partial shading, the operation of bypass diodes changes the power–voltage curve of each array, reducing the output.

What causes voltage mismatch between PV strings?

The voltage mismatch between the PV strings was created by the operation of the bypass diode and the short-circuit failure of the bypass diode in the junction box. Experiments were conducted to analyze the electrical characteristics of each case of voltage mismatch.
