Based on this analysis, control objectives can be set, including but not limited to maximizing photovoltaic energy harvesting, maintaining grid frequency stability, and voltage support. These control objectives can guide the generation of the target PWM signal. When the grid frequency fluctuates, the inertial response of a traditional power generation unit can be simulated by calculating virtual inertia control parameters and primary frequency regulation control parameters to smooth the grid frequency. Considering that fluctuations in the DC bus voltage within the photovoltaic inverter can affect the stability and efficiency of the equipment, the DC bus voltage can be maintained within an ideal range by calculating DC bus voltage compensation control parameters and utilizing a voltage loop proportional-integral controller.

[0053] In the above process, by dynamically generating the target pulse width modulation signal, the operating status of each DC-DC boost converter and DC-to-AC converter can be precisely controlled, ensuring efficient energy conversion and management under various conditions. The generation of the target pulse width modulation signal takes into account the needs of the power grid and can actively participate in frequency and voltage regulation, significantly improving the stability and reliability of the power grid. Through precise generation of the target pulse width modulation signal, efficient coordination between the photovoltaic inverter and the power grid can be achieved, improving energy utilization efficiency and enhancing the stability of the power grid and the adaptive capabilities of the photovoltaic inverter.

[0055] In one optional embodiment, during the actual execution phase of the photovoltaic inverter grid control, various components of the photovoltaic inverter can be controlled according to different pulse width modulation (PWM) signals to achieve better power conversion and grid support effects. The DC-DC boost converter in grid control mode can be controlled based on a first PWM signal. Upon receiving the first PWM signal, the DC-DC boost converter in grid control mode will adjust its switching state according to the duty cycle and frequency of the first PWM signal, thereby controlling the boost output. Control of the DC-DC boost converter in grid control mode may include providing virtual inertia and participating in primary frequency regulation to help the grid recover stability during frequency fluctuations, and may also include compensation for the DC bus voltage to maintain the voltage stability of the photovoltaic inverter. The DC-to-AC converter can be controlled based on a second PWM signal, which can be designed to control the DC-to-AC converter to ensure that the AC output of the DC-to-AC converter is consistent with the frequency, phase, and voltage of the grid. By controlling the DC-to-AC converter based on the second pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal, the DC-to-AC converter can ensure coordinated connection with the grid and adjust the output power according to demand to support the grid and maximize energy utilization. The third PWM signal can control the DC-to-boost converter in power point tracking (PPT) mode. For the DC-to-boost converter in PPT mode, the third PWM signal can improve the energy capture of the photovoltaic array. By adjusting the third PWM signal, the DC-to-boost converter can be controlled to track the maximum power point of the photovoltaic cells—the maximum power point that the photovoltaic cells can generate under given illumination and temperature conditions.

[0056] In the aforementioned process, by controlling various components of the photovoltaic inverter according to different pulse width modulation signals, the photovoltaic inverter can provide frequency and voltage support to the power grid. Controlling the DC-DC boost converter in power point tracking mode ensures that the photovoltaic array can output greater power under different illumination conditions, significantly improving the energy utilization efficiency of the photovoltaic inverter and reducing energy waste.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, determining virtual inertia control parameters based on a third operating state parameter includes: obtaining the power grid frequency change rate in the third operating state parameter; and determining the virtual inertia control parameters based on a preset virtual inertia coefficient and the power grid frequency change rate.

[0066] The aforementioned rate of change of grid frequency refers to the amount of change in grid frequency per unit time. The rate of change of grid frequency in a power grid reflects the balance between power supply and demand; when there is an imbalance between power generation and consumption in the grid, the rate of change of grid frequency can change.

[0067] The aforementioned preset virtual inertia coefficient refers to a parameter pre-set in the photovoltaic inverter to simulate the inertial response of a generator. The magnitude of the preset virtual inertia coefficient can affect the response speed and amplitude of the photovoltaic inverter to changes in grid frequency. Since photovoltaic inverters do not have physical rotational inertia, adjusting the virtual inertia coefficient through software and control strategies allows the photovoltaic inverter to smoothly transition like a larger generator when detecting changes in grid frequency, absorbing or releasing electrical energy to help stabilize the grid frequency.

[0068] In one optional embodiment, the monitoring device in the photovoltaic inverter can continuously track the frequency changes of the power grid, accurately measuring the rate of change of the power grid frequency through real-time sampling and signal processing technology. The preset virtual inertia coefficient can be determined in advance during the photovoltaic inverter design phase, and can be set based on factors such as the rated power of the photovoltaic inverter, the power grid frequency standard, and the expected frequency regulation capability. Different preset virtual inertia coefficients can be set for different photovoltaic inverters and different power grid environments to achieve better frequency regulation effects. Then, based on the real-time measured rate of change of the power grid frequency and the preset virtual inertia coefficient, the virtual inertia control parameters can be calculated using the photovoltaic inverter's controller. The calculated virtual inertia control parameters can then be used to dynamically adjust the control strategy of the photovoltaic inverter. Applying virtual inertia control parameters allows for the addition of a simulated inertial effect to the photovoltaic inverter by adjusting its output power when abnormal fluctuations occur in the power grid frequency, thus slowing down the rate of frequency change and providing immediate frequency support to the power grid.

[0069] In the above process, the virtual inertia control of the photovoltaic inverter can effectively mitigate the rate of change of the grid frequency, avoiding large frequency fluctuations in the event of sudden load changes or grid faults, thus protecting the power system from shocks.

Then, the primary frequency regulation control parameters can be calculated based on a preset primary frequency regulation coefficient and the calculated frequency deviation. These parameters guide the photovoltaic inverter on how to adjust its output power in response to grid frequency changes. Based on these parameters, the photovoltaic inverter can adjust its output power; when the actual grid frequency is lower than the grid's rated frequency, the inverter can increase its output power; when the actual grid frequency is higher than the grid's rated frequency, the inverter can decrease its output power. This rapid response mechanism contributes to grid frequency stability.

[0075] In the above process, the primary frequency regulation mechanism allows the photovoltaic inverter to actively participate in frequency regulation when the grid frequency changes, accelerating the process of frequency recovery to the grid's rated frequency and improving the grid's frequency stability. Through the rapid response of the photovoltaic inverter, grid oscillations caused by frequency fluctuations can be mitigated, preventing damage to power equipment and ensuring the reliable operation of the grid.
