| Abstract |
Since 1994, Japan has been actively promoting solar power generation as an introduction policy to secure domestic energy for measures of global warming and energy security. Japan is planning to increase the amount of photovoltaic power generation to 40 times by 30 years and accelerate the development of renewable energy by fundamentally reviewing the existing energy policy centered on nuclear power generation due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. Since Fukushima, Japan has become more interested in solar energy. The PV system market has long been dominated by multinational companies such as Mitsubishi, Sanyo, and Kyocera. In order to enter Japan's photovoltaic market and supply photovoltaic inverters, it is necessary to obtain certification from the Japan Institute of Electrical Safety and Environment Research Institute (JET). JET certification is a difficult quality regulation for the protection of Japan's solar market and related companies. In this paper, through the technical analysis and test of “Grid-connected protection device test method rule for small distributed power generation system (JETGR0002)”, the purpose is that the accurate analysis of JET technical standards in the design of Japanese solar inverters by domestic companies was conducted. |
