System and method for determining active and reactive currents during asymmetrical low-voltage ride through (LVRT) conditions

There is provided a system and method for determining active and reactive currents during asymmetrical low-voltage ride through (LVRT) conditions at an inverter. The method including: receiving an indication of an LVRT condition; and where the largest phase current magnitude does not exceed a phase current limit, determining a maximum active current for associated positive-sequence and negative-sequence reactive currents by determining a largest active current magnitude and outputting the largest active current and associated positive-sequence and negative-sequence reactive currents to the inverter, otherwise: scaling down each of the positive-sequence and negative-sequence reactive currents, or superimposed positive-sequence and negative-sequence reactive currents, uniformly or non-uniformly to determine revised positive-sequence and negative-sequence reactive currents; where the magnitudes of all of the phase currents are below the phase current limit, determining a non-zero positive-sequence revised active current; and outputting the revised active current and the revised positive-sequence and negative-sequence reactive currents to the inverter.
