Results will inform utilities and support inverter manufacturers to better optimize designs and to make future inverter-based DER more capable of ground fault overvoltage (GFOV) and load
This document lists technical requirements, and provides sample calculations, for ground referencing of inverter based Distributed Energy Resources (DER) on Xcel Energy''s 4‐wire
As long as the inverter''s current controls are working (nonsaturated), when the inverter-based DG is isolated from the utility voltage source, there is no derived neutral shift.
The effective grounding concerns of both three-wire and four-wire inverters can be solved by using the correct transformer configuration and ground impedance design.
Effective grounding in photovoltaic (PV) systems is the creation of a low-impedance reference to ground at the AC side of the inverter—or group of inverters—that is designed to be compatible
Therefore, a simulation-optimization framework is proposed for siting and sizing ground-mounted PV power plants equipped with smart inverters (SIs). Single (decentralized)
An Inverter based Distributed Energy Resource (DER) is expected to have an insignificant effect on the system grounding when in normal parallel operation with the Utility.

DISTRIBUTION LINE FAULTS AND GROUNDINGC BIV. CONSIDERATIONS FOR PV INVERTER EFFECTIVE GROUNDINGEffective Grounding using the inverter''s internal transformerEffective Grounding using a grounding bankMany grid tied PV inverters have an internal transformer. If the transformer is wye-delta configured with the wye on the grid side, the neutral terminal can be used for effective grounding as shown in Figure 3 a). In most of the cases, the grid voltages are well balanced and the distribution loads contain limited harmonic current. In that case, th...See more on solectria Xcel Energy[PDF]
