System and method for controlling a power generation system

Abstract

A power generation system including photovoltaic modules for generating DC power and power converters coupled to the photovoltaic modules for converting the DC power to AC power is provided. The power generation system also includes a central controller that executes the steps of determining a real time AC power generation capacity of the power converters, determining a difference between a required AC power generation capacity and the real time AC power generation capacity, identifying a real time AC voltage of each of the power converters, identifying a reserve AC current capacity of each of the power converters based on the real time AC voltage and an AC current rating of each of the power converters and using the reserve AC current capacity to generate reserve power for reducing the difference between the required AC power generation capacity and the real time AC power generation capacity.
