[0048] Example 1

[0049] Figure 1A This is a flow chart of a photovoltaic module flexible power point tracking method provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case of adjusting the photovoltaic module power under partial shading condition (PSC). The method can be performed by a photovoltaic module flexible power point tracking device, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software and can be configured in a photovoltaic system. Figure 1A As shown, the method includes:

[0050] S101: Collect the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current output by the photovoltaic module at the current moment, and receive a power tracking mode instruction.

[0051] A photovoltaic assembly processes incoming sunlight and converts it into electrical energy. A photovoltaic assembly consists of at least one photovoltaic module, which can be connected in series to form a photovoltaic assembly. Each photovoltaic module can convert light energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic voltage refers to the total output voltage of the photovoltaic assembly at the current moment. Accordingly, the photovoltaic voltage output by the photovoltaic assembly at the current moment can be determined using the following formula:

[0052] V pv,int =[σ ccr +σ eq (N m-int-1)]V oc0 -(N m -int)V bp ;

[0053] Among them, V pv,int Indicates the photovoltaic voltage output by the photovoltaic module at the current moment, int belongs to [1,N m ],N m Indicates the number of photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic assembly, N m is a positive integer, σ ccr It is the proportional coefficient used to ensure operation in the constant current region (CCR) during the initialization process and is the proportional coefficient of the equivalent operating voltage of each photovoltaic module; eq The proportionality factor representing the approximate operating voltage of each photovoltaic module; V oc0 Indicates the open circuit voltage of a single photovoltaic module under standard test conditions (STC); V bp Indicates the voltage drop of the PV module bypass voltage.

[0054] The photovoltaic voltage and current can be collected periodically. The duration between the previous moment and the current moment is the sampling period.

[0055] The photovoltaic current may refer to the total output current of the photovoltaic assembly at the current moment, and may be equal to the sum of the current values of all photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic assembly under the CCR.

[0056] The power obtained by multiplying the photovoltaic voltage and the photovoltaic current represents the electrical energy converted by the photovoltaic module from light energy.

[0057] The power tracking mode instruction is used to determine the power tracking mode, specifically to determine the power point at which the photovoltaic module operates. The power tracking mode corresponding to the power tracking mode instruction can be controlled by the value of the signal Flag. The power tracking mode can include the maximum power point tracking mode (MPPT) and the flexible power point tracking mode (Flexible Power Point Tracking, FPPT). The maximum power point tracking mode is used to obtain the maximum output power of the photovoltaic module when it operates at a certain voltage. The flexible power point tracking mode is used to adjust the output power of the photovoltaic module according to different operating conditions. For example, if Flag = 0, the maximum power point tracking mode is used; if Flag = 1, the flexible power point tracking mode is used.

[0058] Specifically, the system uses voltage probes in the photovoltaic system to collect the current photovoltaic voltage of the photovoltaic modules, and uses current probes in the photovoltaic system to collect the current photovoltaic current. Simultaneously, it receives power tracking instructions. The voltage probes in the photovoltaic system are connected to the photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic system to detect the photovoltaic voltage output by the modules. The current probes in the photovoltaic system are connected to the photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic system to detect the photovoltaic current output by the modules.

[0059] S102 : When it is determined that the power tracking mode corresponding to the power tracking mode instruction is the flexible power point tracking mode, detecting whether the illumination changes according to the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current at the current moment.

[0060] Specifically, when it is determined that the power tracking mode corresponding to the power tracking mode instruction is the flexible power point tracking mode, first detect whether the light intensity has changed. The light energy at the current moment and the light energy at the previous moment can be directly detected by the sensor, and compared to detect whether the light intensity has changed. In addition, the photovoltaic voltage V at the previous moment t-1 can also be obtained. t-1 and photovoltaic current I t-1 , V t-1 and the photovoltaic voltage V at the current moment t Compare and I t-1 The photovoltaic current I at the current moment t Compare; if V t =V t-1 And I t =I t-1 , it is determined that the illumination has not changed, otherwise, it is determined that the illumination has changed. Wherein, t is a positive integer.

[0061] Optionally, the detection of whether the light changes based on the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current at the current moment can be: calculating the photovoltaic power at the current moment based on the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current at the current moment; obtaining the photovoltaic power at the historical moment; comparing the photovoltaic power at the current moment with the photovoltaic power at the historical moment to detect whether the light changes.

[0062] PV power represents the power generation capacity of a PV module. The current PV power is equal to the product of the current PV voltage and the current PV current. A historical moment can refer to a moment before the current moment, without specific limitations. Specifically, a historical moment can refer to the moment immediately preceding the current moment in the sampling period.

[0063] Specifically, the product of the current photovoltaic voltage and current is calculated and used as the current photovoltaic power. Similarly, the photovoltaic power at the historical moment is obtained based on the photovoltaic voltage and current at the historical moment. If the current photovoltaic power is equal to the historical photovoltaic power, it is determined that there is no change in light intensity; otherwise, it is determined that there is a change in light intensity. This provides a specific light detection method that can more accurately detect the light intensity of photovoltaic modules and avoids the need for multiple light energy detection sensors. This reduces the cost of detecting light intensity changes, simplifies the detection process, and improves the efficiency of light intensity change detection.

[0064] S103 . When the illumination does not change, obtain the current flexible power, and determine the current global maximum power based on the photovoltaic voltage and the photovoltaic current.

[0065] The current flexible power represents the current power generation capacity of the PV panel in flexible power point tracking mode. The current flexible power can be preset and provided by the user. The current global maximum power (GMPP) refers to the maximum power of the PV modules in the PV panel at the current moment and represents the maximum power generation capacity of the PV panel at the current moment.

[0066] Specifically, at least one peak power, that is, at least one maximum power (MMP), is obtained based on the photovoltaic voltage and the photovoltaic current, and the maximum value is selected from the at least one MMP to determine it as the GMPP. In a scene without shadows, there is only one MMP. In a scene with partial shadows, there may be multiple MMPs or only one MMP. The embodiment of the present invention can be applied to scenes with partial shadows. For scenes with multiple MMPs, the maximum value GMPP can be selected from them as a reference value for power tracking of the flexible power point. However, most existing power tracking solutions have never considered scenes with partial shadows.

[0067] In addition, in a scene without shadows, there is only one MMP, which is the GMPP. Therefore, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is also suitable for application scenes without shadows.

[0068] For example, see Figure 1B , GMPP represents the current global maximum power point, MPP represents the current maximum power point, FPP represents the current flexible power point, and IP represents the inflection point in the current power curve. Figure 1B The power point of the scene with partial shadow is shown. In fact, partial shadow causes Figure 1B There are multiple MMPs in the GMPP. The maximum value among the multiple MMPs is GMPP. When the illumination does not change, obtain the current flexible power (denoted as Pfpp ), and according to the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current, draw the power curve of the photovoltaic module under the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current; take the maximum value in the power curve as the current global maximum power (denoted as P gmpp ).

[0069] Optionally, determining the current global maximum power based on the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current may be: obtaining the short-circuit current of the photovoltaic module; the photovoltaic assembly includes at least one photovoltaic module; calculating the ratio between the photovoltaic current and the short-circuit current at the current moment to obtain the illumination value of the photovoltaic assembly at the current moment; detecting the current maximum power point of each photovoltaic module included in the photovoltaic assembly based on the illumination value of the photovoltaic assembly at the current moment; and determining the current global maximum power of the photovoltaic assembly based on the current maximum power point of each photovoltaic module included in the photovoltaic assembly.

[0070] The short-circuit current can refer to the current output by a photovoltaic module when the circuit in the power system is abnormally connected. The light value can refer to the light energy absorbed by the photovoltaic module. It should be noted that the short-circuit current of each photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic assembly is the same.

[0071] Specifically, under STC, the short-circuit current of a single photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic assembly is obtained, which is recorded as I sc0 For each photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic assembly, calculate the ratio between the photovoltaic current and the short-circuit current at the current moment to obtain the illumination value of the photovoltaic module at the current moment. Correspondingly, the illumination value of the photovoltaic module at the current moment can be obtained by the following formula:

[0072] E pv,int =I pv,int / I sc0 ;

[0073] Among them, I pv,int Indicates the photovoltaic current of the intth photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic assembly under CCR at the current moment, E pv,int Indicates the illumination value of the intth photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic assembly at the current moment; int belongs to [1,N m ],N m Indicates the number of photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic assembly, N m is a positive integer. Similarly, the illumination values of all photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic assembly can be obtained, and the sum of the illumination values of each photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic assembly is used as the illumination value of the photovoltaic assembly at the current moment. Based on the illumination value of the photovoltaic assembly at the current moment, the current maximum power point of each photovoltaic module included in the photovoltaic assembly is detected. The current maximum power point (MPP) corresponding to each photovoltaic module can be determined using the following formula:

[0074]

[0075] Among them, V mpp,j represents the voltage corresponding to the MPP of the jth photovoltaic module, I mpp,j represents the current corresponding to the MPP of the jth photovoltaic module, P mpp,j represents the power corresponding to the MPP of the jth photovoltaic module, N i Indicates the PV module at irradiance level E pv,i The number of E pv,i represents the illumination value of the ith photovoltaic module at the current moment, V bp Represents the voltage drop of the photovoltaic module bypass voltage, V mpp0 represents the voltage corresponding to the MPP of the jth photovoltaic module under STC, I mpp0 represents the current corresponding to the MPP of the jth photovoltaic module under STC, V oc0 It represents the open circuit voltage of a single photovoltaic module under STC, λ is an empirical coefficient with a typical value of 0.06, N m Indicates the number of photovoltaic modules in the photovoltaic assembly, N m Is a positive integer.

[0076] Furthermore, the maximum value among the current maximum power points of each photovoltaic module included in the photovoltaic assembly is determined as the current global maximum power of the photovoltaic assembly. A method for determining the current global maximum power of a photovoltaic assembly is provided, which improves the accuracy of the current global maximum power of the photovoltaic assembly and, in turn, improves the accuracy of the current reference voltage value.

[0077] S104: Determine a current value of the reference voltage according to the current flexible power and the current global maximum power.

[0078] The reference voltage may refer to a voltage used for reference, and the current value may refer to the value of the reference voltage at the current moment.

[0079] Specifically, the current flexible power is compared with the current global maximum power; if the current flexible power is less than the current global maximum power, it indicates that within the conversion capacity of the photovoltaic module, the maximum value of the power output by the photovoltaic module can reach the current flexible power, and the current flexible voltage corresponding to the current flexible power is determined as the current value of the reference voltage; if the current flexible power is greater than or equal to the current global maximum power, it indicates that within the conversion capacity of the photovoltaic module, the maximum value of the power output by the photovoltaic module cannot reach the current flexible power, and it can only be as close to the current flexible power as possible, and the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power is determined as the current value of the reference voltage.

[0080] S105 . Generate and output a switching signal according to the current value of the reference voltage, where the switching signal is used to adjust the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current of the photovoltaic module.

[0081] The switching signal may be a pulse width modulation signal (PWM boost ), used to adjust the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current of the photovoltaic module.

[0082] Specifically, the current value of the reference voltage is input into the pulse width modulation comparator, and then the switching signal is generated and output according to the current value of the reference voltage in the pulse width modulation comparator.

[0083] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention collects the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current output by the photovoltaic component at the current moment and receives a power tracking mode instruction; when it is determined that the power tracking mode corresponding to the power tracking mode instruction is the flexible power point tracking mode, detects whether the light changes according to the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current at the current moment; when the light does not change, obtains the current flexible power, and determines the current global maximum power according to the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current; determines the current value of the reference voltage according to the current flexible power and the current global maximum power; generates and outputs a switching signal according to the current value of the reference voltage, and the switching signal is used to adjust the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current of the photovoltaic component. The above technical solution determines the power tracking mode according to the power tracking mode instruction, and provides a variety of power tracking mode options; at the same time, it fully considers the impact of local light shading on the maximum power of the photovoltaic module, and selects the global maximum power as the basis for tracking the flexible power point, so as to realize the adjustment of the flexible power point of the photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic module under partial shading, thereby adapting to the application scenario of local light shading, realizing the photovoltaic module tracking the flexible power point, and taking into account the flexible power point tracking in the unshaded scenario, so that the photovoltaic module can maintain stable output under different operating conditions, improve flexibility, and thus improve the stability of the power grid.

[0084] Example 2

[0085] Figure 2A This is a flowchart of a photovoltaic module flexible power point tracking method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further refines "determining the current value of the reference voltage based on the current flexible power and the current global maximum power" into: "obtaining the historical flexible power at the historical moment; calculating the difference between the current flexible power and the historical flexible power, and determining it as the flexible power change value; comparing the current flexible power with the current global maximum power; determining the target value and update method of the reference voltage based on the comparison result and the flexible power change value; determining the current value of the reference voltage based on the target value and update method of the reference voltage", and provides an optional implementation plan. It should be noted that for the parts not described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to the relevant statements of other embodiments. Figure 2A As shown, the method includes:

[0086] S201: Collect the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current output by the photovoltaic module at the current moment, and receive a power tracking mode instruction.

[0087] S202 : When it is determined that the power tracking mode corresponding to the power tracking mode instruction is the flexible power point tracking mode, detecting whether the illumination changes according to the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current at the current moment.

[0088] S203 : When the illumination does not change, obtain the current flexible power, and determine the current global maximum power according to the photovoltaic voltage and the photovoltaic current.

[0089] S204: Obtain historical flexible power at a historical moment.

[0090] The historical moment may refer to a moment before the current moment, without specific limitation. The historical flexible power may refer to the flexible power of the photovoltaic module at a historical moment. Specifically, the historical moment may refer to the moment immediately preceding the current moment in the sampling period.

[0091] Specifically, the historical flexible power corresponding to the historical moment is obtained from the flexible power historical usage table, wherein the flexible power historical usage table is used to record the historical flexible power corresponding to the historical moment.

[0092] S205: Calculate the difference between the current flexible power and the historical flexible power, and determine it as the flexible power change value.

[0093] The flexible power change value is used to reflect the change of flexible power. It can be obtained by calculating the difference between the current flexible power and the historical flexible power, which is recorded as dP. fpp .

[0094] Specifically, if the current flexible power is less than the historical flexible power, the flexible power change value dP fpp = equal to the historical flexible power minus the current flexible power; otherwise, the flexible power change value dP fpp Equal to the current flexible power minus the historical flexible power.

[0095] S206: Compare the current flexible power with the current global maximum power.

[0096] Specifically, compare the current flexible power P fpp and the current global maximum power P gmpp size.

[0097] S207 : Determine a target value and an updating method of the reference voltage according to the comparison result and the flexible power change value.

[0098] Among them, the comparison results include P fpp >P gmpp and P fpp≤P gmpp There are two results. The target value can be the required value of the reference voltage. The update mode can refer to the update mode of the reference voltage target value; the update mode can include a fast update mode and a high-precision update mode.

[0099] Specifically, the flexible power change value dP fpp Compared with the preset change threshold (denoted as dP fpp,th ) for comparison; if dP fpp >dP fpp,th , and the comparison result is P fpp >P gmpp , then according to the current global maximum power P gmpp , determine the target value and update method of the reference voltage; if dP fpp >dP fpp,th , and the comparison result is P fpp ≤P gmpp , then according to the current flexible power P fpp , determine the target value and update method of the reference voltage. fpp ≤dP fpp,th , and the comparison result is P fpp >P gmpp , then according to the current global maximum power P gmpp , determine the target value and update method of the reference voltage; if dP fpp ≤dP fpp,th , and the comparison result is P fpp ≤P gmpp , then according to P fpp , determine the target value and update method of the reference voltage. Among them, the preset change threshold dP fpp,th It is used to detect whether the change of the flexible power change value is too large, so as to detect the corresponding update method, and can be preset based on experience.

[0100] Optionally, when the current flexible power is less than or equal to the current global maximum power, the target value of the reference voltage is determined to be the current flexible voltage corresponding to the current flexible power; when the current flexible power is greater than the current global maximum power, the target value of the reference voltage is determined to be the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power.

[0101] Specifically, if dP fpp >dP fpp,th , and the comparison result is P fpp >P gmpp , then the target value of the reference voltage is determined to be the current global maximum voltage V corresponding to the current global maximum power gmpp , and then determine the update method of the reference voltage according to the target value of the reference voltage; if dP fpp >dP fpp,th, and the comparison result is P fpp ≤P gmpp , then the target value of the reference voltage is determined to be the current flexible voltage V corresponding to the current flexible power fpp , and then determine the update method of the reference voltage according to the target value of the reference voltage. fpp ≤dP fpp,th , and the comparison result is P fpp >P gmpp , then the target value of the reference voltage is determined to be the current global maximum voltage V corresponding to the current global maximum power gmpp , and then determine the update method of the reference voltage according to the target value of the reference voltage; if dP fpp ≤dP fpp,th , and the comparison result is P fpp ≤P gmpp , then the target value of the reference voltage is determined to be the current flexible voltage V corresponding to the current flexible power fpp The reference voltage update method is then determined based on the target reference voltage value. This operation, within the PV module's conversion capabilities, determines the target reference voltage value based on a comparison of the current flexible power and the current global maximum power. This ensures accurate power output from the PV module, while also minimizing power oscillations.

[0102] For example, Figure 2B and Figure 2C As shown, in P fpp ≤P gmpp When the target value of the reference voltage V is determined pv The current flexible voltage V corresponding to the current flexible power fpp Correspondingly, the reference power P corresponding to the reference voltage target value pv V fpp The corresponding current flexible power P fpp , the reference current I corresponding to the reference voltage target value pv V fpp The corresponding current flexible current; such as Figure 2D As shown, in P fpp >P gmpp When the target value of the reference voltage V is determined pv The current global maximum voltage V corresponding to the current global maximum power gmpp Correspondingly, the reference power P corresponding to the reference voltage target value pv V gmpp The corresponding current global maximum power P gmpp , the reference current I corresponding to the reference voltage target value pv V gmpp The corresponding current global maximum current.

[0103] Optionally, when the target value of the reference voltage is the current flexible voltage corresponding to the current flexible power, if the flexible power change value is greater than the preset change threshold, the update mode of the reference voltage is determined to be the fast update mode; when the target value of the reference voltage is the current flexible voltage corresponding to the current flexible power, if the flexible power change value is less than or equal to the preset change threshold, the update mode of the reference voltage is determined to be the high-precision update mode; when the target value of the reference voltage is the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power, if the difference between the photovoltaic voltage at the current moment and the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power is greater than the preset difference threshold, the update mode of the reference voltage is determined to be the fast update mode; when the target value of the reference voltage is the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power, if the difference between the photovoltaic voltage at the current moment and the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power is less than or equal to the preset difference threshold, the update mode of the reference voltage is determined to be the high-precision update mode.

[0104] The preset change threshold is used to detect whether the change of the flexible power change value is too large, so as to detect the corresponding update method. The preset difference threshold is used to detect whether the difference between the current photovoltaic voltage and the current global maximum voltage is too large, so as to detect the corresponding update method. It can be pre-set based on experience and recorded as dV th . Usually, a certain update method is used when the gap is small, and another update method is used when the gap is large. For the embodiment of the present invention, a high-precision update method is used when the gap is small, and a fast update method is used when the gap is large. Among them, the fast update method is a one-step update method, which can specifically refer to a method of directly using the current flexible voltage corresponding to the current flexible power or the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power as the reference voltage target value. The high-precision update method can refer to an update method that obtains the reference voltage target value step by step through precise calculation based on the current flexible power or the current global maximum power. The update speed of the high-precision update method is slower than that of the fast update method. The high-precision update method uses an iterative method to obtain the reference voltage target value step by step through precise calculation, and is therefore called a high-precision update method. The high-precision update method is more suitable for situations where the flexible power change value changes little or the difference between the photovoltaic voltage at the current moment and the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power is small. Correspondingly, the fast update method is more suitable for situations where the flexible power change value changes greatly or the difference between the photovoltaic voltage at the current moment and the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power is large.

[0105] Specifically, in dP fpp >dP fpp,th , and the target value of the reference voltage is V fppWhen dP is set, the reference voltage is updated in the fast update mode. fpp ≤dP fpp,th , and the target value of the reference voltage is V fpp When dP is set, the reference voltage is updated in high-precision mode. fpp >dP fpp,th or dP fpp ≤dP fpp,th , and the target value of the reference voltage is V gmpp Calculate the photovoltaic voltage at the current moment (denoted as V pv ) corresponds to the current global maximum voltage V gmpp The difference between them is recorded as dV=|V pv -V gmpp |, if the difference is greater than the preset difference threshold, that is, dV>dV th , the reference voltage is updated in a fast update mode; otherwise, the reference voltage is updated in a high-precision update mode. This provides a reference voltage update method when the target values of the reference voltage are the current flexible voltage corresponding to the current flexible power and the current global maximum voltage corresponding to the current global maximum power, making reference voltage adjustment more flexible and accurate.

[0106] S208 : Determine the current value of the reference voltage according to the target value and update method of the reference voltage.

[0107] The current value may refer to the value of the reference voltage at the current moment.

[0108] Specifically, the target value of the reference voltage and the current value calculation method of the reference voltage under the corresponding update method are preset, and the current value of the reference voltage is determined according to the calculation method. For example, the target value of the reference voltage is preset to V fpp , and when the reference voltage is updated in fast update mode, the current value of the reference voltage is the target value of the reference voltage, then the current value of the reference voltage is determined to be V fpp .

[0109] S209 : Generate and output a switching signal according to the current value of the reference voltage, where the switching signal is used to adjust the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current of the photovoltaic module.

[0110] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention obtains the historical flexible power at a historical moment; calculates the difference between the current flexible power and the historical flexible power to determine the flexible power change value; compares the current flexible power with the current global maximum power; determines the target value and update method of the reference voltage based on the comparison result and the flexible power change value; and determines the current value of the reference voltage based on the target value and update method of the reference voltage. The above technical solution ensures the flexible output of power of the photovoltaic module under partial shadow shielding conditions, determines the current value of the reference voltage based on the target value and update method of the reference voltage under different operating conditions, improves the accuracy of the calculation of the current value of the reference voltage, and facilitates the subsequent generation and output of a more accurate switching signal based on the current value of the reference voltage to adjust the photovoltaic voltage and photovoltaic current of the photovoltaic module, ensuring the stable operation of the photovoltaic module under different operating conditions.

[0143] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional manner of the embodiments of the present invention, the method may further include: obtaining the illumination value of the photovoltaic component at the current moment; calculating the product between the illumination value of the photovoltaic component at the current moment and the short-circuit current of the photovoltaic module; calculating the ratio between the current flexible power and the product, and determining it as an alternative current flexible voltage; screening out the voltage between the current inflection point voltage and the current maximum voltage from the alternative current flexible voltages, and determining it as the current flexible voltage corresponding to the current flexible power.

[0144] The illumination value is used to quantify the solar energy absorbed by the photovoltaic module. The short-circuit current may refer to the current output when the circuit in the power system is abnormally connected. The alternative current flexible voltage may refer to the current flexible voltage that can be selected. The current inflection point voltage may refer to the voltage corresponding to the inflection point in the output curve of the photovoltaic module at the current moment. Taking into account the conduction state of the bypass diode in the PSC situation, the voltage, current, and power corresponding to the current inflection point can be expressed by the following formula:

[0145]

[0146] Among them, V ip,j Indicates the voltage corresponding to the j-th inflection point, j is a positive integer, I ip,j represents the current corresponding to the j-th inflection point, P ip,j Indicates the power corresponding to the j-th inflection point, E pv,j+1 Indicates the illumination value corresponding to the j+1th inflection point, I sc0 Indicates the short-circuit current of a single photovoltaic module under STC, N i Indicates the PV module at irradiance level E pv,j The number of V bp Represents the voltage drop of the photovoltaic module bypass voltage, V T Represents thermal voltage, V op,i(i+1) Indicates the voltage of the current operating point that falls between the voltage range of photovoltaic module i and photovoltaic module i+1, I ph,i Represents the photovoltaic current of photovoltaic module i, I s Represents the reverse saturation current of the diode in the photovoltaic module, I ph,i+1 Represents the photovoltaic current of photovoltaic module i+1.

[0148] V fpp,int =P fpp / (E pv I sc0 ),V fpp,int ∈(V ip,int ,V mpp,int ];

[0149] Among them, V ip,int Indicates the current knee point voltage, V mpp,int Indicates the current maximum voltage at the current inflection point. The voltage between the current inflection point voltage and the current maximum voltage is screened out from the alternative current flexible voltages and determined as the current flexible voltage corresponding to the current flexible power. The above operation determines the alternative current flexible voltage based on the current illumination value of the photovoltaic component, the short-circuit current of the photovoltaic module, and the current flexible power. There is no need to use a sensor to collect the current illumination value of the photovoltaic component, which reduces costs and improves the efficiency of determining the alternative current flexible voltage. At the same time, the voltage between the current inflection point voltage and the current maximum voltage is screened out from the alternative current flexible voltages and used as the current flexible voltage, ensuring that the current flexible voltage is within a reasonable range, thereby ensuring the safety of the output voltage of the photovoltaic component.

[0150] In addition, when the power tracking mode corresponding to the power tracking mode instruction is the maximum power point tracking mode, the current global maximum power is calculated using the following formula:

[0151] P gmpp =I pv ·V pv ;

[0152] Among them, P gmpp Indicates the current global maximum power, I pv Indicates the photovoltaic current output by the photovoltaic module at the current moment, V pv Represents the photovoltaic voltage output by the photovoltaic module at the current moment. The current global maximum power is then used to determine the current global maximum voltage. Based on the current global maximum voltage, the current value of the reference voltage is determined as the result of combining the historical value of the reference voltage with the preset step voltage of the second symbol. The second symbol is based on the difference between the current power and the historical power, as well as the difference between the current photovoltaic voltage and the historical photovoltaic voltage.
