1. PV String Open Circuit Voltage Temperature Derating
Maximum DC string voltage must never exceed the inverter input rating (typically 1000V or 1500V DC) at the site’s minimum historical ambient temperature.
V_oc_max = V_oc_STC * [ 1 + β_Voc * ( T_min - 25°C ) ] * Number_of_Modules_in_String
Where:
- β_Voc = Temperature coefficient of open-circuit voltage (%/°C, negative value ~ -0.28%/°C)
- T_min = Minimum record ambient temperature (°C)2. Anti-Islanding Protection (IEEE 1547)
Grid-interactive solar inverters must automatically disconnect within 2.0 seconds upon grid outage using under/over voltage (ANSI 27/59) and under/over frequency (ANSI 81U/81O) sensing.
