ZERO FEED-IN
As the number of decentralized PV systems has As a consequence of this change, grid operators
grown, the share of fluctuating generation capacity require system operators to take measures in order
both in national and international electricity grids to improve grid integration so that future PV
has significantly increased in recent years. deployment does not have to be restricted due to
limited grid capacity.
The resulting high PV penetration, in particular in
the low-voltage grids, might lead to prohibited If there is already severe grid congestion, system
thermal or voltage exceedances, which jeopardize operators are obliged to equip the PV system with a
the system stability of the electricity grid. technical device which ensures that there is no
electricity fed into the public grid at any time. As
such, the system must implement a so-called export
limitation scheme (zero feed-in / zero export)
whereby either the energy generated is consumed
by the producer (100 % consumption) or the PV
systems power output is limited.

CONTROL DYNAMICS
The dead time of the entire control loop consists Since the power analyzer UMG 604 is sampled at a
of the individual dead times of the system, shorter interval (250 ms) than the controller (500 ms)
dependent on the interfaces used for correction when using the Modbus TCP protocol, the dead time
