Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of inverter technology, and more specifically to a low-cost inverter. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing environmental awareness, various clean energy sources have been widely adopted, with photovoltaics, a rapidly developing sector, showing great promise. However, photovoltaic cells exhibit random and intermittent operation. Therefore, to improve the reliability and stability of photovoltaic power generation systems, energy storage devices of a certain capacity can be introduced to improve the system structure. These storage devices can absorb the extra electricity generated by photovoltaic cells during periods of abundant sunlight, while providing energy supply to the system during nighttime and periods of low sunlight. This maintains system power balance and buffers fluctuations in photovoltaic cell output power, significantly improving system performance and operational stability.
[0003] Currently, photovoltaic (PV) power generation system structures are generally improved using PV-storage inverters. A typical two-stage high-gain PV-storage inverter topology is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a Boost circuit is used to control the maximum power output of the photovoltaic cells and connect them to the DC bus. A Buck-Boost converter controls the power absorption and output of the photovoltaic cells and transmits the electrical energy to the DC bus. Finally, the DC bus is connected to the grid via a single-phase full-bridge inverter. The advantages of this topology are its simple and clear working principle and control method, the decoupling of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) section and the power inverter section, and the different control objectives of the two parts, allowing for the design of corresponding control algorithms.
