Abstract :
This paper will cover the solar PV inverter tests required for model development and validation including but not limited to voltage transients, frequency deviations, grid disconnection, short circuit, harmonics generation, and voltage oscillations. Additionally, it will cover the test results acquired from our tests of 3-phase 480VAC commercial solar PV inverters. Finally, it will cover proposed recommendations for solar PV inverter performance to accommodate high penetration of solar PV inverter generation.
