  • Patent number: 10218184
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inhibiting multiple inverter stations from entering a passive control mode in an island state. The method includes dividing inverter stations into groups in advance; a principle for group division is dividing inverter stations whose alternating-current sides are connected to each other through an alternating-current line in a normal running condition into a group; priorities of the inverter stations are preset in each group to tune relevant fixed values of the inverter stations for island detection; a tuning principle is that an inverter station with a higher priority has a more sensitive relevant fixed value, and an island state is more easily detected for the corresponding inverter station; an inverter station for which an island state is detected can enter a passive control mode only when all the other inverter stations with priorities higher than the priority of the inverter station in the group send enabling signals.
