Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photovoltaic charger control device and a control method. Background technique [0002] With the increasing human demand for energy and the reduction of traditional energy sources, energy issues have become an urgent issue. As a clean and pollution-free energy source, solar energy has become the main direction of modern energy development. [0003] In the solar off-grid power generation system, the solar energy is usually converted into DC power of a certain voltage level by the solar charging device for the use of DC power equipment, and the excess energy is stored in the battery for use when there is a lack of solar energy. The use of solar energy requires maximum power tracking to improve the utilization rate of solar energy. In addition, due to unreasonable charging and discharging of batteries, the proportion of batteries damaged in advance accounts for a large proportion of the total number of damaged batteries, so it ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Generally, solar charging devices use BUCK step-down circuit, that is, the photovoltaic voltage is higher than the battery voltage to charge. Generally, there are constant current charging control methods and constant voltage charging control methods. Constant current charging is the maximum power charging. When the battery voltage has not yet reached a certain When the voltage value (set as Vm), it has been charged with the maximum power of solar energy, an approximate constant current charging, because the energy of solar energy is not constant, affected by weather changes, the energy change will still be large, constant voltage charging That is, when the battery voltage reaches Vm, in order to prevent overcharging, the battery voltage is not allowed to continue to rise, and the battery voltage is maintained at Vm for charging. At this time, if the solar energy is sufficient or the load does not increase, photovoltaic energy can maintain the battery voltage at Vm. For charging, the photovoltaic voltage at this time will not be at the maximum power point. If the photovoltaic energy suddenly decreases or the load suddenly increases after switching to constant voltage control, the photovoltaic energy cannot guarantee that the battery voltage is maintained at Vm, which is a common practice in the industry. Yes, when the battery voltage drops to a certain value, recharge at maximum power, but before recharging at maximum power, there will be a problem, because photovoltaic energy cannot guarantee that the battery voltage is at Vm, and the solar charging device will always keep the BUCK circuit The duty cycle of the switching tube of the power device is adjusted to be large. When the photovoltaic voltage is adjusted to the left side of the P-V curve of the plate, the lower the photovoltaic voltage, the smaller the photovoltaic energy, and the lower the battery voltage, and it is even more difficult to guarantee battery voltage maintenance. At Vm, until the photovoltaic voltage is pulled down to be basically the same as the battery voltage, that is, the duty cycle of the switch tube of the power device is adjusted to the maximum, and it is in a stuck state until the driver is turned off again and restarts the next maximum power charging from the photovoltaic open circuit voltage point.
