Description

Technical Field

[0002] The power ratings of power electronic devices such as energy storage converters and photovoltaic inverters are increasing year by year, placing ever greater demands on the power ratings of parallel power electronic device testing systems. Due to the limitations of power device specifications, the power rating of a single unit in a parallel power electronic device testing system cannot be increased indefinitely; instead, power units must be connected in parallel to increase the overall power rating of the system. Parallel power electronic device testing systems have significantly more potential failure points than non-parallel systems, therefore, their stability is weaker.

[0003] When performing abnormal high-current tests on power electronic equipment (such as high / low current tests, overload tests, and grid adaptability tests), unordered shutdowns of the test devices and devices under test in parallel power electronic equipment test systems not only reduce testing efficiency but also shorten the lifespan of the test devices and devices under test. Parallel operation can easily damage the test devices and devices under test. This control and protection method can effectively reduce the impact of faults in the test devices and devices under test caused by abnormalities in some modules of the parallel power electronic equipment test system, thus reducing the loss of operating efficiency and equipment lifespan of the parallel power electronic equipment test system.
