[0017] The present application provides a global maximum power point search method, device, electronic device and storage medium, which are used to determine a target MPPT that is trapped in a local maximum power point in an inverter, and to perform multiple short-circuits and recovery on some components in the target MPPT to determine the maximum MPPT power, and to find the global maximum power point of the target MPPT based on the maximum MPPT power, thereby solving the problem that finding the global maximum power point depends on the inverter's own global scanning function, and achieving the effect of reducing the hardware requirements for finding the global maximum power point.

[0019] See also Figure 1 , a flowchart of a method for finding a global maximum power point provided in an embodiment of the present application, specifically comprising:

[0020] 101. Obtain operation data of the inverter, where the operation data includes the voltage of each MPPT and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT. The inverter includes multiple MPPTs, and each MPPT includes multiple photovoltaic strings.

[0021] The global maximum power point search device obtains the operating data of the inverter, and the operating data includes the voltage of each MPPT and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT. The inverter includes multiple MPPTs, and each MPPT includes multiple photovoltaic strings. The inverter involved in the embodiment of the present application and subsequent embodiments is a string inverter. The string inverter has a multi-channel MPPT function and is connected to multiple MPPTs. Each MPPT includes multiple photovoltaic strings, and each photovoltaic string is composed of multiple photovoltaic components connected in series. Because the multiple photovoltaic strings connected to the MPPT are connected in parallel, the voltage of the photovoltaic string is equal to the voltage of each MPPT, so obtaining the voltage of each MPPT is to obtain the voltage of each photovoltaic string.

[0022] The executor of the embodiment of the present application may be a global maximum power point finding device, or other controllers with processing functions. For ease of description, the embodiment of the present application and subsequent embodiments are described using the global maximum power point finding device as an example.

[0023] 102. Determine a target MPPT based on the voltage of each MPPT and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT, where the target MPPT is an MPPT that falls into a local maximum power point.

[0024] The global maximum power point finding device determines the target MPPT based on the voltage of each MPPT and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT. The target MPPT is the MPPT that falls into the local maximum power point.

[0025] Specifically, the inverter may include multiple MPPTs. For multiple MPPTs under the same inverter, the real-time data of the operation data of each MPPT at the current moment can be used, for example, the current and voltage of each photovoltaic string. Because the multiple photovoltaic strings connected to the MPPT are connected in parallel, the voltage of the photovoltaic string is equal to the voltage of each MPPT; therefore, the MPPT average voltage and MPPT average current of the inverter are determined through the voltage of each MPPT and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT. The voltage of each MPPT and the photovoltaic string current in the inverter are compared with the MPPT average voltage and MPPT average current of the inverter respectively to determine the target MPPT with abnormal output, and the target MPPT falls into the local maximum power point.

[0026] It should be noted that the same MPPT may sometimes fall into the local maximum power point and sometimes not. Whether it falls into the local maximum power point is somewhat accidental. However, as long as the voltage of each MPPT and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT do not meet the preset conditions, the target MPPT can be determined as the MPPT that falls into the local maximum power point.

[0027] 103. Determine whether the inverter has a global scanning function.

[0028] The global maximum power point finding device determines whether the inverter has a global scanning function. After determining the target MPPT that falls into the local maximum power point in each inverter, it is necessary to determine whether the inverter corresponding to the target MPPT has a global scanning function. Only some inverters are equipped with relevant hardware, so corresponding function detection is required.

[0029] It is understandable that each inverter has a local scanning function, but only some inverters have a global scanning function. Because the global scanning function has high hardware requirements, only some inverters are equipped with relevant hardware. Among them, the global scanning function means that when the MPPT is looking for the maximum power point, it controls the DC voltage to scan the entire voltage segment from the open circuit voltage to the short circuit voltage to obtain the maximum power point in the entire voltage segment; the local scanning function means that when the MPPT is looking for the maximum power point, it controls the DC voltage to scan within a small range. During the scanning process, the scanning is stopped when the first maximum power point is encountered to obtain the local maximum power point. In particular, when the photovoltaic string is partially shaded, the corresponding IV curve will have multiple peaks, and the local maximum power point is likely not the global maximum power point. Figure 2 As shown, the global maximum power point is between 600V and 700V, while the local maximum power point is between 800V and 900V.

[0030] 104. If the inverter does not have a global scanning function, some photovoltaic modules of the target MPPT are short-circuited and restored multiple times through multiple preset bypass switches, and the MPPT power after each recovery is determined to obtain multiple candidate MPPT powers.

[0031] If the inverter does not have a global scanning function, the global maximum power point search device uses multiple preset bypass switches to short-circuit and restore some photovoltaic components of the target MPPT multiple times, and determines the MPPT power after each recovery to obtain multiple candidate MPPT powers.

[0032] When the target MPPT falls into a local maximum power point, for inverters without global scanning function, some components are short-circuited to help the MPPT find the global maximum power point. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The schematic diagram of a photovoltaic string includes 6 photovoltaic modules, from which a certain number of photovoltaic modules can be selected, for example, 2, and a bypass switch is connected in parallel. When the bypass switch is closed, the photovoltaic modules connected in parallel with the bypass switch will be short-circuited. When the bypass switch is opened, the photovoltaic modules connected in parallel with the bypass switch will generate electricity normally.

[0033] It is understandable that each time a PV module is short-circuited, because the number of PV modules connected in series in the PV string is reduced, the voltage of the MPPT decreases, causing the MPPT's operating point to move toward the short-circuit voltage point (i.e., toward a lower voltage). When restoring the short-circuited PV module, the MPPT will search near the voltage of the current operating point (i.e., the reduced voltage), where the voltage of the current operating point is smaller than the voltage of the operating point when there is no short circuit, i.e., the operating point moves to the left on the IV curve.

[0034] 105. Short-circuit some photovoltaic modules in the target MPPT according to the maximum MPPT power among the multiple candidate MPPT powers, so that the inverter finds the global maximum power point within a preset range of the maximum MPPT power.

[0035] The global maximum power point finding device short-circuits some photovoltaic modules in the target MPPT according to the maximum MPPT power among multiple candidate MPPT powers, so that the inverter finds the global maximum power point within a preset range of the maximum MPPT power.

[0036] It can be understood that the candidate MPPT power determined after each short circuit and recovery is equivalent to redetermining a local maximum power point (a peak on the MPPT IV curve). Then multiple candidate MPPT powers correspond to multiple local maximum power points. By selecting a maximum value among multiple local maximum power points, it can be located near the global maximum power point.

[0037] It should be noted that because the minimum adjustment granularity of the global scan is one-third of a single component, and the minimum adjustment granularity when the photovoltaic component is short-circuited by the bypass switch in this embodiment is a single component, the voltage difference between the final determined MPPT power maximum value and the global maximum power point of the inverter will not exceed the rated voltage of a photovoltaic component. Therefore, the final determined MPPT power maximum value is near the global maximum power point, and the inverter can find the global maximum power point of the inverter by automatically performing local scanning.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application determines a target MPPT that is trapped in a local maximum power point in the inverter, performs multiple short-circuit and recovery operations on some components in the target MPPT to determine the maximum MPPT power, and uses the maximum MPPT power as a benchmark to find the global maximum power point of the target MPPT. This solves the problem that finding the global maximum power point depends on the inverter's own global scanning function, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the hardware requirements for finding the global maximum power point.

[0039] See also Figure 4 , another flow chart of the global maximum power point finding method provided by an embodiment of the present application, specifically includes:

[0040] 401. Obtain operation data of the inverter, where the operation data includes the voltage of each MPPT and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT. The inverter includes multiple MPPTs, and each MPPT includes multiple photovoltaic strings.

[0041] The global maximum power point search device obtains the operating data of the inverter, and the operating data includes the voltage of each MPPT and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT. The inverter includes multiple MPPTs, and each MPPT includes multiple photovoltaic strings. The inverter involved in the embodiment of the present application and subsequent embodiments is a string inverter. The string inverter has a multi-channel MPPT function and is connected to multiple MPPTs. Each MPPT includes multiple photovoltaic strings, and each photovoltaic string is composed of multiple photovoltaic components connected in series. Because the multiple photovoltaic strings connected to the MPPT are connected in parallel, the voltage of the photovoltaic string is equal to the voltage of each MPPT, so obtaining the voltage of each MPPT is to obtain the voltage of each photovoltaic string.

[0042] 402. Determine the MPPT average voltage and MPPT average current corresponding to each MPPT based on a preset time window, the voltage of each MPPT, and the current of each photovoltaic string in each MPPT.

[0043] Specifically, the global maximum power point finding device takes the average voltage of each MPPT within a preset time window to obtain the MPPT average voltage corresponding to each MPPT; the global maximum power point finding device takes the average current of each photovoltaic string within a preset time window to obtain the string average current of each photovoltaic string; the global maximum power point finding device takes the average string current of each photovoltaic string according to the MPPT to which it belongs to obtain the MPPT average current corresponding to each MPPT.

[0044] For example, assuming that the inverter has two MPPTs, each MPPT is connected to two PV strings, the collection interval of the operating data is 1 minute, and the time window is 1 hour, then the 60 voltage data of each MPPT within 1 hour are averaged to obtain the MPPT average voltage of each MPPT within 1 hour; similarly, the 60 PV string current data of each PV string within 1 hour are averaged to obtain the string average current of each PV string within 1 hour, and then for each MPPT, the average string current corresponding to the two connected PV strings is averaged to obtain the MPPT average current corresponding to each MPPT.

[0045] 403. Determine a minimum MPPT average voltage and a maximum MPPT average current corresponding to the inverter based on the MPPT average voltage and the MPPT average current corresponding to each MPPT.

[0046] The global maximum power point finding device compares the MPPT average voltages of each MPPT in the inverter, determines the minimum value among the MPPT average voltages of each MPPT, and obtains the minimum MPPT average voltage of the inverter; similarly, the global maximum power point finding device compares the MPPT average currents of each MPPT in the inverter, determines the maximum value among the MPPT average currents of each MPPT, and obtains the maximum MPPT average current of the inverter.

[0047] When comparing MPPTs, only multiple MPPTs connected to each inverter will be compared, and MPPTs that do not belong to different inverters will not be compared.

[0048] 404. Determine an MPPT that meets preset conditions among the multiple MPPTs as a target MPPT. The preset conditions are that the MPPT average voltage is greater than the product of the minimum MPPT average voltage and the first coefficient, and the MPPT average current is less than the product of the maximum MPPT average current and the second coefficient.

[0049] For example, assuming that the first coefficient a is 1.2 (a>1), and the second coefficient b is 0.2 (b<1), the minimum MPPT average voltage is The maximum MPPT average current is Then the global maximum power point finding device determines the MPPT average voltage of each MPPT Is it greater than the minimum MPPT average voltage? The product of the first coefficient a and the MPPT average current Is it less than the product of the maximum MPPT average current and the second coefficient b, that is, to determine whether each MPPT meets the requirements at the same time The MPPTs that are satisfied simultaneously are determined as the target MPPTs that fall into the local maximum power point.

[0050] It can be understood that the first coefficient and the second coefficient here are both to avoid misjudgment due to acquisition errors and misjudgment due to data fluctuations, thereby improving the accuracy of the selection of the target MPPT.

[0051] It should be noted that for multiple photovoltaic strings in an inverter, if there is no shadow, then there is only one maximum power point in the corresponding IV curve, that is, the global maximum power point; if there is a shadow, the global maximum power point of the string will be on the left side of the global maximum power point of the string without shadow, and the local maximum power point of the string with shadow will be on the right side of the global maximum power point of the string without shadow. Among them, the voltage of the local maximum power point is generally greater than the voltage of the global maximum power point, and at the same time, the current of the local maximum power point is generally smaller than the current of the global maximum power point. Therefore, the average voltage at the working point of the MPPT is larger and the average current is smaller, which means that the working point can be determined to be on the right side of the global maximum power point, which is the local maximum power point.

[0052] 405. Determine whether the inverter has a global scanning function.

[0053] The global maximum power point finding device determines whether the inverter has a global scanning function. After determining the target MPPT that falls into the local maximum power point in each inverter, it is necessary to determine whether the inverter corresponding to the target MPPT has a global scanning function. Because the global scanning function has high hardware requirements, only some inverters are equipped with relevant hardware, so corresponding function detection is required.

[0054] It is understandable that each inverter has a local scanning function, but only some inverters have a global scanning function. Because the global scanning function has high hardware requirements, only some inverters are equipped with relevant hardware. Among them, the global scanning function means that when the MPPT is looking for the maximum power point, it controls the DC voltage to scan the entire voltage segment from the open circuit voltage to the short circuit voltage to obtain the maximum power point in the entire voltage segment; the local scanning function means that when the MPPT is looking for the maximum power point, it controls the DC voltage to scan within a small range. During the scanning process, the scanning is stopped when the first maximum power point is encountered to obtain the local maximum power point. In particular, when the photovoltaic string is partially shaded, the corresponding IV curve will have multiple peaks, and the local maximum power point is likely not the global maximum power point. Figure 2 shown.

[0055] 406. If the inverter does not have a global scanning function, short-circuit and restore some photovoltaic modules of the target MPPT multiple times through multiple preset bypass switches, and determine the MPPT power after each restoration to obtain multiple candidate MPPT powers.

[0056] Specifically, if the inverter does not have a global scanning function, the global maximum power point finding device closes the first bypass switch in a preset plurality of bypass switches in a switching sequence to short-circuit the photovoltaic components connected in parallel with the first bypass switch; after the current voltage of the target MPPT is stable, the global maximum power point finding device disconnects the first bypass switch to restore the photovoltaic components connected in parallel with the first bypass switch to normal operation; after the current voltage of the target MPPT is stabilized again, the global maximum power point finding device determines the MPPT power after the first recovery; the global maximum power point finding device closes the first bypass switch and the second bypass switch in a switching sequence among the preset plurality of bypass switches to short-circuit the photovoltaic components connected in parallel with the first bypass switch and the second bypass switch respectively; after the current voltage of the target MPPT is stable, the global maximum power point finding device determines the MPPT power after the first recovery. The local maximum power point finding device disconnects the first bypass switch and the second bypass switch so that the photovoltaic components connected in parallel with the first bypass switch and the second bypass switch respectively resume normal operation; after the current voltage of the target MPPT is restored to stability, the global maximum power point finding device determines the MPPT power after the second recovery; the global maximum power point finding device closes and opens multiple bypass switches multiple times according to preset rules to determine the MPPT power after other multiple recoveries, wherein the preset rule is that the number of switches closed each time is one more than the number of switches closed last time, until all bypass switches are closed and opened at the same time; the global maximum power point finding device combines the MPPT power after the first recovery, the MPPT power after the second recovery, and the MPPT power after other multiple recoveries to obtain multiple candidate MPPT powers.

[0057] For example, when the target MPPT photovoltaic string A includes 20 photovoltaic modules, 10 of them can be connected to bypass switches in parallel and numbered in sequence to obtain bypass switches 1 to 10. If the inverter does not have a global scanning function, the target MPPT is short-circuited. The specific process is as follows: close the bypass switch 1 of the photovoltaic string A, and after the target MPPT voltage stabilizes, disconnect the bypass switch 1, and after the MPPT voltage stabilizes, record the DC power of the target MPPT at this time, which is recorded as the MPPT power after the first recovery; similarly, close the bypass switch 1 and bypass switch 2 of the photovoltaic string A, and after the MPPT voltage stabilizes, disconnect the closed bypass switch 1 and bypass switch 2, and wait for the MPPT voltage to stabilize. After stabilization, the DC power of the MPPT at this time is recorded and recorded as the MPPT power after the second recovery; and so on, a bypass switch is added each time a short circuit occurs. When the nth short circuit occurs (n is an integer less than or equal to the number of bypass switches), the PV string A has a total of n bypass switches closed (bypass switches 1 to n), and then the closed bypass switches 1 to bypass switches n are disconnected to obtain the MPPT power after the nth recovery. The above process is repeated until all bypass switches (bypass switches 1 to 10) of the PV string A are closed and disconnected, and the short circuit process is stopped; then the recorded MPPT power after the first recovery, the MPPT power after the second recovery, and the MPPT power after other multiple recoveries are combined into multiple candidate MPPT powers.

[0058] 407. Short-circuit some photovoltaic modules in the target MPPT according to the maximum MPPT power among the multiple candidate MPPT powers, so that the inverter searches for a global maximum power point within a preset range of the maximum MPPT power.

[0059] Specifically, the global maximum power point finding device compares the power sizes of multiple candidate MPPT powers to obtain the maximum MPPT power, and each candidate MPPT power corresponds to a short-circuit number; the global maximum power point finding device short-circuits the corresponding photovoltaic components in the target MPPT according to the short-circuit number corresponding to the maximum MPPT power, so that the inverter finds the global maximum power point within a preset range of the maximum MPPT power.

[0060] Optionally, the global maximum power point finding device short-circuits corresponding photovoltaic components in the target MPPT according to the number of short-circuit times corresponding to the maximum MPPT power value, including the following steps: the global maximum power point finding device determines the target number of short-circuit times corresponding to the maximum MPPT power value, the number of bypass switches corresponding to the current number of short-circuit times is one more than the number of bypass switches of the previous number of short-circuit times; the global maximum power point finding device closes each bypass switch corresponding to the target number of short-circuit times, so that multiple target photovoltaic components are in a short-circuit state, and the target photovoltaic components are photovoltaic components connected in parallel with the bypass switches in a closed state.

[0061] It can be understood that the candidate MPPT power determined after each short circuit and recovery is equivalent to redetermining a local maximum power point (a peak on the MPPT IV curve). Then multiple candidate MPPT powers correspond to multiple local maximum power points. By selecting a maximum value among the multiple local maximum power points, it can be located near the global maximum power point.

[0062] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, there is no need to rely on the global scanning function of the inverter itself, and there is no need to start the global scan regularly, which can significantly improve the power generation of the inverter in the shadow occlusion scene.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application determines a target MPPT that is trapped in a local maximum power point in the inverter, performs multiple short-circuit and recovery operations on some components in the target MPPT to determine the maximum MPPT power, and uses the maximum MPPT power as a benchmark to find the global maximum power point of the target MPPT. This solves the problem that finding the global maximum power point depends on the inverter's own global scanning function, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the hardware requirements for finding the global maximum power point.
