Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The embodiment of the present disclosure relates to the technical field of photovoltaic power generation, in particular to a photovoltaic power generation system and a control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of photovoltaic technology, the wide application of large-capacity, high AC / DC capacity matching photovoltaic sub-square matrix, and the continuous improvement of the capacity of string inverter, in order to solve the problems of large working surface, large number of construction personnel, difficult control of construction quality and construction progress, improve the efficiency and power generation of photovoltaic power station system, and reduce the construction period and operation and maintenance workload, a plurality of distributed string inverters (1) and their supporting AC bus cabinet and booster box transformer can be designed and manufactured in an integrated manner.

[0003] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of integrated inverter booster equipment arrangement, Figure 1 (a) is a front view, Figure 1 (b) is a top view, as Figure 1 shown, the prior art integrates a plurality of string inverters (1), DC cable protection groove box, AC bus cabinet, communication control device, power distribution equipment, etc. on a set of steel structure foundation platform, and lays the connecting cables between the equipment inside the platform. The AC bus cabinet is connected with the low-voltage side of the photovoltaic sub-square matrix booster box transformer through cables or closed busbars. In this way, the distributed string inverters (1) are concentrated, the integrated manufacturing of inverters and AC bus cabinets, the electrical connection of AC bus cabinets and booster box transformers are solved, and all manufacturing, installation and testing are completed in the factory. After the equipment is transported to the site, it can be quickly hoisted, installed, wired, debugged and connected to the grid. Only three types of cables, 35kV cables, photovoltaic string cables (6) and communication optical cables, need to be connected on site, which can significantly improve the construction quality and progress. However, the prior art has the problems of large equipment size, low integration, small DC cable installation space, small reserved amount, high cost of steel structure foundation platform, and high transportation cost of complete equipment.

[0004] The capacity of centralized inverters and distributed inverters has developed from 500 kW, 630 kW, 1000 kW, 1250 kW to the current 2500 kW, 3150 kW, 4100 kW, and the feature is that the single machine access photovoltaic capacity is large, and the number of single sub-array device configuration is small. The advantages are that the construction and installation are concentrated, and the operation and inspection are concentrated. The disadvantages are that if a fault occurs or maintenance is required during operation, the whole machine stops, resulting in a large loss of power, and the daily maintenance workload is large. The capacity of group string inverters (1) has developed from 40 kW, 50 kW, 75 kW to the current 175 kW, 225 kW, 320 kW, and the feature is that the single machine access photovoltaic capacity is small, and the number of single sub-array device configuration is large. The advantages are that the number of MPPT paths is large, and the power generation capacity is higher than that of centralized and distributed inverters. If a single machine encounters a fault or maintenance is required during operation, the single machine can be quickly replaced, resulting in a small loss of power. The disadvantage is that the installation work site is dispersed in the sub-array. The integrated inverter and booster device integrates the advantages of centralized inverters, distributed inverters, and group string inverters (1), and the advantages are that the factory is integrated, the site is quickly installed, and the operation and maintenance are concentrated. The capacity is matched flexibly, and is not limited by the terrain and region. The disadvantages are that the overall volume of the device is large, the DC cable has a small reserved margin, and the foundation platform and transportation cost are high. The "small DC cable reserved margin" means that the space of the DC cable protection groove box is small, and the photovoltaic string cable (6) cannot reserve a margin in the protection groove. When the DC plug of the inverter fails and needs to be re-made, the earth at the bottom of the integrated inverter and booster device needs to be dug out (the reserved margin of the DC cable is buried below the ground), and the corresponding cable needs to be pulled out. This method has a large workload, cannot be excavated in winter, and affects fault recovery. SUMMARY
