6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter power limit derating]
What is derating a solar inverter?
Derating is the controlled reduction of the inverter power. In normal operation, inverters operate at their maximum power point. At this operating point, the ratio between PV voltage and PV current results in the maximum power. The maximum power point changes constantly depending on solar irradiation levels and PV module temperature.
Does temperature derating affect a PV inverter?
In this case, the maximum DC voltage of the inverter acts more as a technical boundary than a normal operating curve. There is no PV array operating point that requires the inverter to feed in at full power at temperatures above 31°C (at 800 V). On principle, temperature derating has no negative effects on the inverter.
How does a de-rating inverter work?
De-rating protects sensitive components and prolongs their lifetime. When the temperature drops, the inverter increases power output automatically. SolarEdge power optimizer models P300, P320, P340, P370, P400, P405 and P505 operate at full power and full currents up to the maximum operating temperature of 185°F/85°C.
What is a temperature derating inverter?
Temperature derating prevents the sensitive semiconductors in the inverter from overheating. Once the permissible temperature on the monitored components is reached, the inverter shifts its operating point to a reduced power level. The power is reduced in steps. In extreme cases, the inverter will shut down completely.
How to avoid derating at peak PV array outputs?
In order to avoid derating at peak PV array outputs, an inverter with a nominal power of more than 100% of the PV array power could be selected. However, this would shift a larger proportion of partial load yields to a range within which the inverter is relatively inefficient.
How do I set a frequency derating curve for an inverter?
When defining the values, ensure that P1 > P2 > P3. When ON, the selected inverter will operate in active power derating mode when the grid frequency exceeds the set value. These three values of frequency and power define the frequency derating curve.
