Abstract

Increased power electronics converters on microgrid supplies result in large inrush currents which are not appropriately limited by present-day standards, especially devices commonly switched in large clusters. The currents drawn by switching large clusters, such as LED lights, or systems dominated by power electronics converters are shown by measurement as well as simulations to have worrying trends for electromagnetic compatibility. Superposition of currents from many low power
devices, especially in low inertia micro-grids, can significantly impact the stability of the supply and may cause interference or high probability of complete grid failure.
