Performance Analysis of Grid-Connected Solar Inverters under Variable Load Conditions

Abstract

The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into power grids has increased significantly in recent years due to the global shift toward renewable energy. A critical component in this integration is the solar inverter, which converts the DC output of PV panels into AC power compatible with the grid. The performance of grid-connected solar inverters depends heavily on varying load conditions, which directly influence power quality, efficiency, and stability. This study investigates the behavior of solar inverters under different loading scenarios, including light, medium, and heavy load conditions. Parameters such as total harmonic distortion (THD), inverter efficiency, voltage stability, and reactive power compensation are analyzed. The findings suggest that inverter performance is optimal under medium load conditions, while extreme light or heavy loads lead to increased distortion and reduced efficiency. The study emphasizes the importance of adaptive control strategies and inverter design improvements for reliable grid integration of PV systems.
