ABSTRACT
Within the framework of the project ESDEPS (EMC and Safety Design for PV Systems) electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety aspects of PV systems are investigated in detail. The findings from these investigations shall be the basis for the improvement and/or creation of standards concerning the EMC and safety of PV systems. Topics covered by the project are investigations regarding the electromagnetic environment, like the effect of lightning on PV systems and the effect of transients on the mains on PV inverters, as well as investigations with respect to emissions from PV systems on the mains and DC lines and radiated emissions at radio frequencies.
