Small scale on-grid PV embedded generation methodologies in South Africa
نویسنده
چکیده
There is an obvious attraction to on-grid residential solar PV installations as the cost of solar PV systems decrease [1, 2, 3, 7], the cost of utility electricity increases [2, 3], Eskom’s reserve margin reduces [2], and environmental and sustainability awareness among electricity users increases [3]. EGs in the form of residential or commercial solar PV can also derive income when their generated electricity exceeds their load and they export their surplus electricity to the grid.

The single-phase transformerless grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, mainly the low-power single-phase systems, require high efficiency, small size, lightweight, and low-cost grid-connected inverters. However, problems such as leakage current, the DC current injection and safety issues are incorporated with transformerless grid-connected PV inverters. Besides, the new standards such as Lo...
