Development and Performance Evaluation Test of Smart Inverter and Control System for Photovoltaic Power Generation

抄録

Since the introduction of the Feed in Tariff (“FIT”) system in Japan, there has been a rapid increase in the adoption of photovoltaic power generation systems (“PV”). Issues have arisen that need to be addressed so that the adoption of renewable energies may be further increased. Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (“TEPCO”) has been developing and verifying, as a means for resolving issues, smart inverters for photovoltaic power generation systems that have multiple functions contributing to system stabilization as well as a distributed energy resource management system that remotely monitors and controls the smart inverter.
