Traditional passive distribution networks can not sufficiently handle the voltage stability issues brought by the increasingly integrated PV systems, while an active distribution network, which features active management of distributed energy resources, can flexibly utilise PV inverters to provide a volt/var control (VVC) function to regulate the network voltage. However, PV inverters are vulnerable power electronics devices and utilising them for additional VVC support can further degrade their reliability, leading to shortened inverter lifetime and impaired economic benefits. In this regard, the thesis focuses on addressing the PV inverter reliability issues in VVC methods, via assessing the PV inverter reliability in VVC and proposing ad...
