Mini-Grid Systems – Part 2: Application of Inverters (6 page(s), in English)

This standard covers power electronics (primarily inverters), which are used to connect distributed generation equipment (specifically photovoltaic arrays and battery systems) to mini-grid power systems. This standard primarily deals with safety in construction and operation, including anti-islanding.

This standard covers all standalone inverters, grid-interactive inverters and multi- mode inverters used in mini-grids ranges between 10 kW and 1MW of total generating capacity. It shall be noted that although the standard applies specifically to power electronics, it "touches on" issues with connected equipment, including wiring, fault protection, transformation and grounding. This standard applies to all inverters used in mini-grid systems with total installed inverting capacity between 10 and 1,000kVA-ac. Inverters which are individually of less than 10kVA-ac capacity but are operated in parallel to achieve a total installed capacity equal to or greater than 10kVA-ac are considered to be covered by this standard.
