Technical FAQs 4

What happens if a PV system flows in the reverse direction?

Thus, when the output power from the PV system flows in the reverse direction, an increase in the magnitude of the line impedance and/or apparent power results in a reduction in the receiving-end voltage.

What is reverse power relay (RPR) for solar?

Reverse power relay (RPR) for solar is used to eliminate any power reverse back to gird from an on-grid (grid-tie) PV power plant to the grid or to the generator by tripping either on-grid solar inverter or breaker or any contactor depending upon the type of power distribution and a control circuit.

Does reverse power flow increase or decrease voltage?

It is found that the voltage at the PV system of feeder A increases with the reverse power flow compared with the voltage at the substation. In contrast, the voltage at the PV system of feeder B decreases with the increase in the reverse power flow. Fig. 4. Voltage rise and voltage reduction due to reverse power flow.

Why does PV output power reverse in the daytime?

The PV output power reverses in the daytime so that the active power at the substation flows in the reverse direction. Consequently, the voltage at the PV system is larger than the voltage at the substation during the daytime. Fig. 2. Time variation of active power and voltage in feeder A.
