[0038] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides an anti-backflow grid-connected system, which includes a power grid 11, a transformer 12, an inverter 13 and an anti-backflow detection module 14, wherein the transformer 12 is connected to the power grid 11, the inverter 13 is located on the user side of the power grid 11, and is connected to the first live wire L1 and the second live wire L2 of the power grid 11, the anti-backflow detection module 14 is located on the household side of the power grid 11, that is, close to the transformer 12 relative to the inverter 13, and the anti-backflow detection module 14 is connected to the inverter 13, the first live wire L1, the second live wire L2 and the neutral wire N of the power grid 11; the anti-backflow grid-connected system also has a local load 15 on the user side.

[0039] In this embodiment, the anti-backflow detection module 14 is used to obtain the first current IL1 of the first live wire L1 and the second current IL2 of the second live wire L2, and output the first current IL1 or the second current IL2 to the inverter 13; the inverter 13 is used to adjust its output current according to the first current IL1 or the second current IL2, so that the output current is not greater than the first current IL1 or the second current IL2, so that there is no reverse flow from the inverter 13 side to the external power grid 11, and the current direction of the first live wire L1 and the current direction of the second live wire L2 are not reversed. In this application, only the anti-backflow detection module 14 is set to detect the current in the power grid 11 and then output it directly to the inverter 13, and the inverter 13 itself adjusts the output current according to the current. In this process, no complex vector calculation is required, which can effectively alleviate the current problem of slow response time of anti-backflow.

[0040] Please also read Figure 2 In some embodiments, the anti-backflow detection module 14 includes a detection unit 141 and a comparison unit 142. The detection unit 141 is connected to the first live wire L1, the second live wire L2 and the neutral wire N. The detection unit 141 is used to obtain the first current IL1 and the second current IL2; the comparison unit 142 is used to compare the magnitudes of the first current IL1 and the second current IL2, and output the smaller of the first current IL1 and the second current IL2 to the inverter 13.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first current IL1 and the second current IL2 can be directly obtained by the detection unit 141, and the first current IL1 and the second current IL2 can be directly output to the inverter 13. The inverter 13 compares the magnitudes of the first current IL1 and the second current IL2, and then controls the output current to be no greater than the smaller one of the first current IL1 and the second current IL2.

[0042] As an embodiment, the detection unit 141 includes a current transformer or a Hall sensor. In this embodiment, the current transformer or the Hall sensor is directly used to detect the first current IL1 and the second current IL2, and then the comparison unit 142 compares the first current IL1 and the second current IL2 to compare the sizes of the first current IL1 and IL2, so as to output a smaller current to the inverter 13 to achieve anti-reverse current control.

[0045] In this embodiment, the grid voltage between the first live wire L1 and the second live wire L2 is obtained by the phase-locked loop unit 131, and the corresponding phase is obtained according to the grid voltage, and then a feedback signal is output to the current comparison unit 132, so as to control the phase of the output current later. At the same time, the current comparison unit 132 obtains the output current of the inverter 13 and the first current IL1 or the second current IL2, and outputs a comparison signal to the adjustment unit 133 after comparing the two, so that the adjustment unit 133 can adjust the magnitude of the output current so that the output current is not greater than the first current IL1 or the second current IL2.

[0046] Please also read Figure 4 As an embodiment, the phase-locked loop unit 131 in this embodiment includes a phase-locked loop 1311, a first comparator 1312 and a voltage compensator 1313. The phase-locked loop 1311 obtains the grid voltage between the first live wire L1 and the second live wire L2, and obtains the corresponding voltage phase according to the grid voltage, and outputs it to the first comparator 1312; the first comparator 1312 outputs a comparison result to the voltage compensator 1313 according to the voltage output by the phase-locked loop 1311 and the reference voltage, and the voltage compensator 1313 performs voltage compensation and outputs a feedback signal to the current comparison unit 132, so as to provide the current comparison unit 132 with corresponding phase information.

[0047] As an embodiment, the current comparison unit 132 includes a second comparator 1321 and a current compensator 1322. The second comparator 1321 obtains the first current IL1 or the second current IL2, compares the first current IL1 or the second current IL2 with the output current, and then outputs a comparison signal to the current compensator 1322. The current compensator 1322 performs current compensation and then outputs it to the adjustment unit 133 to facilitate subsequent adjustment of the output current.

[0048] As an embodiment, the regulating unit 133 in this embodiment is a PWM controller in the inverter 13. The regulating unit 133 is used to reduce the pulse width of the PWM signal when the output current is greater than the first current IL1 or the second current IL2, so that the output current of the power output unit 134 is not greater than the current or the second current IL2.

[0049] As an embodiment, the power output unit 134 includes a MOS tube and an energy storage inductor, and the PWM signal output by the PWM controller adjusts the duty cycle of the MOS tube to adjust the output current of the energy storage inductor. Among them, the output current obtained by the second comparator can actually be the inductor current, and the inductor current is compared with the first current or the second current to facilitate the adjustment of the output current of the energy storage inductor. The power output unit 134 in this application is a known structure in the inverter 13 and will not be described here.

[0050] As an embodiment, the regulating unit 133 is also connected to a DC power supply, and the regulating unit 133 is also used to adjust the output voltage according to the DC voltage Vbus provided by the DC power supply, so that the output voltage of the power output unit 134 is greater than the grid voltage, ensuring that the inverter 13 can provide an output voltage to power the load and meet the power demand of the load. At the same time, according to the phase of the grid voltage obtained by the phase-locked loop unit 131, the regulating unit 133 controls the phase of the output voltage to be consistent with the phase of the grid voltage. It should be noted that the inverter 13 in the present application is a known circuit structure, so the specific circuit structure of the inverter 13 is not repeated here.

[0051] The anti-backflow grid-connected system in the present application only obtains two currents, compares the two currents and outputs them to the inverter, and adds them to the output control process of the inverter, so that the inverter controls its output current according to the input current to be no greater than the smaller of the two currents, thereby realizing the anti-backflow control process. In this process, there is no need to perform a complex vector calculation process, and the detection current is directly output to the control loop of the inverter, which can achieve a rapid response to anti-backflow.

In this application, the current in the power grid is directly output to the inverter after being detected by the anti-backflow detection module, and the inverter itself adjusts the output current according to the current. In this process, no complex vector calculation is required, which can effectively alleviate the problem of slow response time of the current anti-backflow.
