[0053] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] In this application, the terms "comprises", "comprising" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.
[0055] The present invention provides a method for detecting reverse connection of a switch of a photovoltaic power generation system, which does not require changes to a hardware circuit and is simple and easy to implement.
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic power generation system includes: an inverter 20 and at least two photovoltaic strings 10; wherein each photovoltaic string 10 includes at least two photovoltaic components 11 that output electrical energy through a corresponding circuit breaker 12, and the output ends of each circuit breaker 12 are sequentially connected in series to form the two ends of the photovoltaic string 10; the two ends of each photovoltaic string 10 are respectively connected to the corresponding input ends of the inverter 20; and the output end of the inverter 20 is connected to the power grid and / or the load.
[0057] The controller in the inverter 20 is used to perform the following reverse connection detection method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the reverse connection detection of the shutdown device includes:
[0058] S101. Determine whether a DC bus voltage of an inverter is greater than a first preset value.
[0059] The first preset value can be set according to the starting voltage of the inverter. The starting voltage means that if the DC bus voltage of the inverter reaches the starting voltage, the inverter can be started and work normally.
[0060] In practical applications, the difference between the first preset value and the starting voltage can be set to be smaller than the first preset difference; the value of the first preset difference is smaller and can be zero, depending on the specific application environment; the first preset value can be specifically set to 200V or 250V, etc. This is only an example and is not limited to this.
[0061] If the DC bus voltage is less than or equal to the first preset value, it means that the inverter cannot work normally at this time, or does not need to work, and the reverse connection detection of the photovoltaic strings can be omitted; if the DC bus voltage is greater than the first preset value, the reverse connection detection of the photovoltaic strings is required, and at this time, step S102 is executed first.
[0062] S102: Determine whether the voltage at each input terminal of the inverter is greater than a second preset value.
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, each circuit breaker includes: a switch tube T arranged on the power transmission branch, and a bypass diode D reversely connected between the positive and negative electrodes of the output terminal of the corresponding circuit breaker. When the switch tube T is turned on, the circuit breaker can realize the power output of the corresponding photovoltaic module; when the bypass diode D is turned on, the corresponding photovoltaic module is bypassed.
[0064] If the photovoltaic strings are connected normally, since one inverter may have multiple photovoltaic strings with circuit breakers connected, and its bus voltage is determined by the string with the highest voltage, even if the line is not the highest voltage line, its input terminal voltage will be between the first preset value and the second preset value, that is, it will be greater than the second preset value; therefore, the input terminal voltage of the inverter connected to the normally connected photovoltaic strings should be close to or even the same as the DC bus voltage, and both are greater than the second preset value; in addition, in the current inverter, due to the presence of the input terminal sampling resistor, each input terminal will have a certain floating voltage, and the magnitude of the floating voltage is related to the magnitude of the DC bus voltage; due to the presence of this floating voltage, if the photovoltaic string of this line is not connected to the corresponding inverter input terminal, this input terminal will also detect a certain voltage value, and this voltage value is also greater than the second preset value.
[0065] However, if the PV string is reversely connected, due to the presence of the bypass diodes D in each circuit breaker, the bypass diodes D in the PV string will be connected in series and turned on, thereby clamping the voltage at the input end of the inverter to the sum of the conduction voltage drops of the bypass diodes D in the PV string; taking the conduction voltage drop of the bypass diode D as 1V as an example, if a PV string is connected to a maximum of 30 circuit breakers, its value will be about 30V, which will be significantly smaller than the DC bus voltage and also smaller than the second preset value.
[0066] In practical applications, the value of the second preset value can be selected according to the on-state voltage drop of the bypass diode D of the circuit breaker and the number of circuit breakers in the photovoltaic string. Specifically, the sum of the on-state voltage drops of the bypass diodes of all circuit breakers in the photovoltaic string can be set to be less than the second preset difference with the second preset value. For example, assuming that the on-state voltage drop of each bypass diode D is 1V, a photovoltaic string is connected to 30 circuit breakers, and considering the sampling error of about 10V, 40V can be selected as the second preset value at this time. That is, the second preset difference can be set according to the sampling accuracy of the actual application environment, but is not limited to this.
[0067] If the voltages of each input terminal are greater than the second preset value, step S103 can be executed, that is, it is determined that each photovoltaic string is not in a reverse connection state, such as a normal connection state or a disconnected state. If at least one of the input terminal voltages is less than the second preset value, such as 30V or 0V, step S104 can be executed.
[0068] S104: Determine whether the corresponding photovoltaic string is in a reverse connection state.
[0069] The photovoltaic power generation system's circuit breaker reverse connection detection method provided in this embodiment can detect whether each photovoltaic string connected to the inverter is in a reverse connection state through the above principle when the circuit breaker is connected. The method is simple and easy to implement, and does not require changes to the hardware circuit, which is conducive to promotion and application.
[0070] It is worth mentioning that when any PV string is detected to be reversely connected, the controller should issue an alarm to notify the operator to perform wiring correction operations, which will inevitably cause the inverter grid-connected time to be postponed. It may also be delayed for a long time due to the need to wait for the operator to arrive, such as one day or even multiple days, resulting in loss of power generation.
[0071] Therefore, it is necessary to avoid misjudgment. To achieve this goal, this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. Preferably, the photovoltaic power generation system circuit breaker reverse connection detection method is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, before step S104, that is, before determining that the corresponding photovoltaic string is in a reverse connection state, it also includes:
[0072] S201, determining whether the input terminal voltage that is less than a second preset value is less than the second preset value within a preset time.
[0073] That is, it is determined whether the state in which the corresponding input terminal voltage is less than the second preset value can be maintained unchanged for a certain period of time; if it maintains this state within the preset time, that is, the corresponding input terminal voltage is less than the second preset value within the preset time, it means that this photovoltaic string is indeed reversely connected, and step S104 can be executed, that is, determining that the corresponding photovoltaic string is in a reverse connection state.
[0074] In practical applications, the value of the preset time can be selected according to the detection time requirement of the reverse connection alarm, for example, it can be set to 5s or 8s, etc.; it depends on the specific application environment and is within the protection scope of this application.
[0075] If the corresponding input terminal voltage fails to maintain this state within the preset time, that is, there is at least one moment when it is greater than or equal to the second preset value, step S103 is executed, that is, it is determined that the corresponding PV string is not in the reverse connection state.
[0076] This embodiment can not only realize the reverse connection detection of photovoltaic strings, but also avoid misjudgment and thus avoid the loss of power generation.
[0077] In addition, based on the above embodiment, the photovoltaic power generation system circuit breaker reverse connection detection method is as follows: Figure 5 (In Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , before step S101, that is, before determining whether the DC bus voltage of the inverter is greater than the first preset value, the method further includes:
[0078] S301. Power on the inverter.
[0079] After the inverter is initially powered on, since the circuit breaker is disconnected by default, no voltage is established on the input side of the inverter, so step S302 is first required to execute the normal circuit breaker wake-up logic. After the circuit breakers of each photovoltaic string are gradually awakened, the voltage can be detected at each input terminal and DC bus of the inverter.
[0080] S302, the inverter controls the circuit breaker in the corresponding photovoltaic string to output through the Boost circuit connected to the inner side of each input terminal of the inverter.
[0081] like Figure 6a As shown, the inverter includes: a controller, an inverter circuit 201, a bus capacitor 202 and at least two Boost circuits 203; wherein the input end of each Boost circuit 203 serves as the corresponding input end of the inverter 20; the output end of each Boost circuit 203 and the DC side of the inverter circuit 201 are respectively connected to the DC bus; the bus capacitor 202 is arranged between the positive and negative poles of the DC bus; the inverter circuit 201 and each Boost circuit 203 are respectively controlled by the controller.
[0082] Each Boost circuit 203 can be as follows Figure 6a The basic Boost circuit shown in Figure 7 The three-level Boost circuit shown in the figure may also be other circuits, which are not specifically limited here and can be determined according to the application environment.
[0083] Or, if Figure 6b As shown, the inverter includes: a controller, an inverter circuit 201, a bus capacitor 202, a Boost circuit 203 and an energy storage module 204; wherein, the input end of the Boost circuit 203 is respectively used as the input end of the inverter; the output end of the Boost circuit 203, the DC side of the inverter circuit 201 and the energy storage module 204 are respectively connected to the DC bus; the bus capacitor 202 is arranged between the positive and negative poles of the DC bus; the inverter circuit 201 and the Boost circuit 203 are respectively controlled by the controller; in actual applications, the energy storage module 204 may include a battery module and a bidirectional DC / DC conversion module thereof, and the bidirectional DC / DC conversion module may also be controlled by the controller.
[0084] The step S302 specifically includes Figure 8 As shown in:
[0085] S311, the inverter controls each Boost circuit to form a preset waveform signal at the corresponding input end to wake up the circuit breaker in the corresponding photovoltaic string.
[0086] The preset waveform signal is: a high and low voltage signal that appears periodically, wherein each cycle specifically includes a high voltage maintained for a first duration and a low voltage maintained for a second duration; the high voltage can be a DC bus voltage, and the low voltage can be zero or a lower voltage value.
[0087] When the low voltage is zero, the driving signal of the switch tube in the corresponding Boost circuit is as follows: Figure 9a As shown in , it will short-circuit the DC bus. When the low voltage is a lower voltage value, the drive signal of the switch tube in the corresponding Boost circuit is as follows Figure 9b As shown, it is specifically a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal.
[0088] It should be noted that for Figure 6a In the structure shown in FIG. 1 , through step S311, each Boost circuit 203 can be operated separately to form a preset waveform signal at the corresponding input terminal; and for Figure 6bIn the structure shown, before executing step S302, specifically before executing step S311, the inverter needs to first control the energy storage module 204 to provide the bus voltage, and then control the Boost circuit 203 to operate through step S311, thereby forming the preset waveform signal at the input end of the inverter.
[0089] In each circuit breaker and the inverter, corresponding programs may be set in advance to determine a preset waveform signal for awakening. When the circuit breaker detects that the voltage at its output terminal is the preset waveform signal, step S312 may be executed.
[0090] S312, each switch controls itself to output electric energy to the corresponding photovoltaic module.
[0091] After each circuit breaker performs output respectively, voltages can be detected at each input terminal and DC bus of the inverter, and then step S101 can be executed.
[0092] For other steps and specific principles of the circuit breaker reverse connection detection method, please refer to the above embodiments and will not be described in detail here.
[0093] Another embodiment of the present invention further provides a photovoltaic power generation system, which Figure 1 As shown, it specifically includes: an inverter 20 and at least two photovoltaic strings 10; wherein each photovoltaic string 10 includes at least two photovoltaic components 11 that output electrical energy through corresponding circuit breakers 12, and the output ends of each circuit breaker 12 are sequentially connected in series to form the two ends of the photovoltaic string 10; the two ends of each photovoltaic string 10 are respectively connected to the corresponding input ends of the inverter 20.
[0094] Among them, see Figure 3 Each circuit breaker includes: a switch tube T arranged on the power transmission branch, and a bypass diode D reversely connected between the positive and negative electrodes of the output terminal of the corresponding circuit breaker. When the switch tube T is turned on, the circuit breaker can realize the power output of the corresponding photovoltaic module; when the bypass diode D is turned on, the corresponding photovoltaic module is bypassed.
[0095] See also Figure 6a , the inverter 20 includes: a controller, an inverter circuit 201, a bus capacitor 202 and at least two Boost circuits 203. The input end of each Boost circuit 203 is used as the corresponding input end of the inverter 20; the output end of each Boost circuit 203 and the DC side of the inverter circuit 201 are respectively connected to the DC bus; the bus capacitor 202 is arranged between the positive and negative poles of the DC bus; the inverter circuit 201 and each Boost circuit 203 are respectively controlled by the controller.
