The invention relates to a Buck photovoltaic optimizer circuit and a control method, and aims at transmitting
electric energy to an
energy storage device through a Buck power circuit by a photovoltaic
cell, quantizing ambient
light intensity changes according to changes of output
voltage of the photovoltaic
cell, distinguishing extremely weak light, low light,
constant light and strong light, and adjusting duty ratio signals in cooperation with a
control circuit. In the Buck photovoltaic optimizer circuit, a
control signal is generated, a corresponding driving
voltage signal is generated through the gate
driving circuit to drive the Buck power circuit, accurate switching of the Buck photovoltaic optimizer circuit about a forbidden mode, a standby mode, an MPPT mode and a straight-through mode is achieved, in the MPPT mode, the
control circuit dynamically adjusts a duty ratio
signal based on the single-peak characteristics of the
voltage and power of a photovoltaic
cell, and in the straight-through mode, the maximum power of the photovoltaic cell is adjusted. It is ensured that the photovoltaic cell continuously works at the maximum power point, tracking of the maximum power point is achieved, and operation and maintenance efficiency and
equipment safety are ensured.
