An Experimental Study on Estimation of Inductive Load in Grid Connection Inverter by Pseudo Random Binary Sequence

Abstract

The grid connection inverter is built in the PCS (Power Conditioning Subsystem) for the distributed power supply, such as photo voltaic system. Recently, there has been considerable advances in the research on power flow using PCS. In order to adjust the power in the PCS, it is necessary that the grid connection inverter of the PCS predicts the load and output fluctuation in the customer side. Therefore, this paper investigates a load estimation in the grid connection inverter of the PCS. The proposed estimation method adds a superimposing pseudo random binary sequence to the inverter reference. The validity of the proposed estimation method is verified experimentally. As a result, it is experimentally clarified that the estimation is possible even for inductive loads.
