An Inverter based Distributed Energy Resource (DER) is expected to have an insignificant effect on the system grounding when in normal parallel operation with the Utility.
It is a mandatory practice required by NEC and IEC codes to protect both equipment and personnel from damage and electric shock hazards. This article covers grounding in PV systems, which differs slightly from standard grounding systems.
Modern grounded inverters and PV arrays are not isolated from the grounded output circuit of the inverter. In this scenario, the equipment grounding conductor (EGC) of the PV circuit can be connected to the grounding terminal of the inverter, which is eventually connected to the AC grounding system and electrode within the premises.
Connected loads are often suficient to limit overvoltage when inverters back-feed into a system with a ground fault. Supplemental grounding for inverter-based generation is generally not necessary if at least 1/3 of the connected load in an island is connected line-to-ground.
When the scale of the data center and energy storage station is smaller than that of the substation, we suggest a longitudinal layout for the grounding grid, that is, the data center and
Addition of supplemental grounding may have side effects such as desensitizing ground fault relays, increasing the fault current level and duration, thus increasing arc-flash energy. When supplemental
