Methods for reducing solar inverter output volatility, and related nodes and solar inverters

摘要

Methods for reducing solar inverter output volatility are provided. A method for reducing solar inverter output volatility may include determining whether an output fluctuation by a solar inverter is likely, using output data of the solar inverter. Moreover, the method may include curtailing an output of the solar inverter in response to determining that the output fluctuation by the solar inverter is likely. Related solar inverters and solar installation nodes are also described.

1. A method for reducing solar inverter output volatility, the method comprising:
determining whether an output fluctuation by a solar inverter is likely, using output data of the solar inverter; and curtailing an output of the solar inverter in response to determining that the output fluctuation by the solar inverter is likely, wherein determining whether the output fluctuation is likely comprises:
determining a volatility difference for the solar inverter, the volatility difference comprising a ratio between:
an end-to-end straight linear distance corresponding to a graphical representation of power output by the solar inverter over a time period; anda summation of a plurality of linear distances corresponding to the graphical representation of power output by the solar inverter over a plurality of respective sub-time-periods of the time period.
