A method for detecting an islanding condition of a grid connected energy conversion system and related DC/AC converter apparatus to optimize performance in terms of preservation of the power quality, provide synchronized frequency perturbation for all the inverters of a plant, provide shut down capability within the time requested by utilities and safety standards and provide immunity to grid frequency fluctuations.

Method for detecting islanding condition for a DC/AC converter apparatus and a DC/AC converter apparatus thereof

A method for detecting earth-fault conditions in a power conversion apparatus including the following steps: acquiring a first detection signal indicative of an earth-leakage current flowing between the power conversion apparatus and the ground; processing the first detection signal to calculate a first processing signal indicative of a time variant component of the earth-leakage current for one or more selected frequency bands of interest; processing the first detection signal to calculate a second processing signal indicative of a time-invariant component of the earth-leakage current; processing the first and second processing signals to calculate a third processing signal indicative of a resistive component of the earth-leakage current; and processing the third processing signal to determine whether earth-fault conditions are present.

A double-stage inverter apparatus for energy conversion systems (FIG.) and control method thereof, adapted to manage the operations of the on-board booster module so as to optimize the overall electrical efficiency of the system. Furthermore, the method according to the present invention allows the operations of said double-stage inverter to be managed when there is only one input channel, when there are multiple input channels called to operate both in parallel and also when there are multiple input channels called to operate independently from each other.
