Abstract

The increasing integration of inverter-based devices in the distribution grid is generating higher levels of conducted emissions in the 9-150 kHz range. The lack of standard measurement methods in this band has led to the development of new methods, which still require further evaluation. In this study, several measurement methods are analysed in the assessment of conducted emissions generated by a photovoltaic (PV) installation in the 9-150 kHz range. The paper describes the methods selected for the comparison and the measurement campaign specifically developed in this study to obtain recordings of emissions from different configurations of the PV panels. The results show that some of the novel methods provide accurate results and require lower computational burden and memory resources than the standard methods.
