6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter voltage transient overvoltage]
What is a transient overvoltage (TOV)?
Transient or temporary overvoltage, also known as TOV, is of concern due to its potential to cause damage to nearby equipment and loads. There are two types of TOV that are of primary concern for inverter-coupled generation: load rejection overvoltage (LRO) and ground fault overvoltage (GFO). This report focuses on experimental testing of GFO.
What are the two types of transient overvoltage being addressed?
In one stage of a cooperative research and development agreement, NREL is working with SolarCity to address two specific types of transient overvoltage: load rejection overvoltage (LRO) and ground fault overvoltage (GFO).
What causes a transient overvoltage?
During the brief period before higher-level inverter controls detect the disconnection of the grid, a transient overvoltage can occur when the current output from that generator is temporarily fed into the local load.
Is there a correlation between inverter power and over-voltage?
The inverter was tested at 100% inverter power and 10% load power to test a worst case loading scenario. There is possibly a positive correlation between the input voltage and the maximum output over-voltage, but the magnitude of the over-voltage is relatively low.
Can a three-phase inverter cause overvoltage?
This section analyzes an additional overvoltage mechanism that can occur in three-phase, four-wire ground fault scenarios when they include a three-phase current-controlled inverter with an outer power control loop. The preceding results focus on line to neutral voltages, which are classically of concern in such scenarios.
Do distributed generation inverters mitigate transient and temporary overvoltage?

Cozine, “Effective grounding of distributed generation inverters may not mitigate transient and temporary overvoltage,” presented at the Western Protective Relay Conference, 2012. R. Bravo and S.
