Analysis and Control of PV Inverters Operating in VAR Mode at Night Ali Maknouninejad Nasser Kutkut Issa Batarseh Zhihua Qu University of Central Florida Orlando, FL Abstract— PV inverters are an important element of the challenge is how to pre-charge the DC bus and keep it future smart grids. Not only they contribute to the active power regulated within limits while injecting the desired level of generation as distributed generators (DGs), but also they can reactive power into the grid. If the inverter is to merely help grid voltage/frequency stability by generating VAR. operate in reactive power mode, it needs to compensate for its Although the number of PV installations is rapidly growing, the internal losses and keep its DC bus voltage within an effective utilization of PV inverters remains low. As even if acceptable range. Although a number of papers discuss the inverters are to operate in VAR mode during night hours, they design of PV inverters and reference operation in VAR mode still need some active power to compensate for their internal during night hours [5, 6, 7, 8], none of the aforementioned losses, regulate the DC bus and provide the desired level of issues have been addressed or discussed. This paper will reactive power. This paper will provide a detailed analysis of PV
