2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
i. Solar PV Grid Connected System

A grid connected system is connected to a large independent grid (typically the public electricity
grid) and feeds power in to the grid. This is a form of decentralized electricity generation. In the
case of residential or building mounted grid connected PV systems, the electricity demand of the
building is met by the PV system. Only the excess is fed in to the grid when there is an excess. The
feeding of electricity in to the grid requires the transformation of DC into AC by a special,grid-con-
trolled inverter.

A Grid Tie inverter or a (GTI) is a special type of Inverter (electrical) that isused in a renewable en-
ergy power system to convert direct current into alternating current and feed it into the utility grid.
The technical name for a grid-tie inverter is”grid-interactive inverter”. They may also be called syn-
chronous inverters. Grid-interactive inverters typically cannot be used in standalone applications
where utility power is not available.

The Grid Tie Solar Inverter is designed to convert solar electric (photovoltaic or PV) power into
utility-grade electricity that can be used by the home or sold to the local power company. In order
to operate, the inverter must have grid power available and connected. It will not provide back up
power if the AC grid fails. The inverter will automatically synchronize itself to grid.The inverter is
provided with the isolation transformer internally with basic insulation.

i. Solar PV Modules

Solar cells produce direct current electricity from light, which can be used to power equipment or to
recharge a battery. Cells require protection from the environment and are usually packaged tightly
behind a glass sheet. When more power is required than a single cell can deliver cells are electri-
cally connected together to form photovoltaic modules or solar panels. A photovoltaic module is
a packaged interconnected assembly of photovoltaic cells, which converts sunlight into electrical
power. The cells are hermitically sealed between glass and back cover (Tedlar) to protect them
from harsh environments.
The detail technical specifications of both types of modules are provided below.

ii. Module Mounting Structures

The module mounting structure is designed for holding suitable number of modules in series. The
frames and leg assemblies of the module mounting structures is of Mild Steel of suitable sections of
Angle, Channel, Tubes or any other sections conforming to IS:2062 to meet the design criteria. All
hardware considered for fastening modules with this structure are of very good quality of Stainless
Steel(SS304). The module mounting structure is designed in such away that it will occupy minimum
space without sacrificing the output from SPV panels at the same time it will withstand severe wind-
speed upto a maximum150kmph.

iv. Grid Connect Inverter

Grid Tie inverters operate on MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) mode to ensure maximum
output from the solar generators at different ambient conditions. Grid Tie inverters use higher sys-
tem voltages to reach very high plant efficiency. Further more, installations can be expanded with
additions of more modules without problems.

The design of the technical parameters has been optimized with regard to the operating time of
the inverter. For example, the IGBTs not only increase the efficiency factor, but their high dielectric
strength inhibits the transmission of voltage spikes. The intelligent minimum performance recog-
nition system protects the AC contactors and a fast over-current recognition system for all
transistors protects the IGBTs.

With a wide range of input voltages from 400 to 900V, the inverter allows the largest possible range
of module connection possibilities. For larger installations, the proposed inverters can be easily
combined to provide higher performance.
