Benefits of technology

[0047]The aforementioned power control method, apparatus, power converter, and power generation system include a power converter whose DC terminal is connected to a power generation component. The power converter includes a DC bus capacitor and operates according to a burst cycle comprising a wave generation period and a wave blocking period. During the wave generation period, the power converter converts DC energy in the DC bus capacitor into AC energy. During the wave blocking period, the power converter stops wave generation, allowing the DC energy output by the power generation component to be stored in the DC bus capacitor. A first measured power of the power generation component in a first burst cycle and a second measured power in a second burst cycle are acquired. Based on the first and second measured power, an output voltage reference for the power generation component in a third burst cycle is determined to track the maximum power point of the power generation component. The second burst cycle is the preceding burst cycle of the first burst cycle, and the third burst cycle is the following burst cycle of the first burst cycle. Thus, by using the control cycle of the burst mode as the disturbance cycle in the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) process, the power of the current burst cycle is compared with the measured power of the previous burst cycle to determine the reference voltage adjustment direction for the next burst cycle, and the output voltage reference for the next burst cycle is determined. This ensures that the MPPT decision is based on the measured power over the entire burst cycle, rather than instantaneous power fluctuations, thus avoiding the impact of sawtooth ripples in burst mode on MPPT. The above power control method can improve the accuracy of MPPT in burst mode.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of new energy technology, and in particular to a power control method, device, power converter and power generation system. Background Technology

[0002] In photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, on the one hand, to improve power conversion efficiency, PV systems employ MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology to control the output power of PV panels, ensuring they operate at their maximum power point. On the other hand, when ambient light intensity is low (such as in the early morning, evening, or on cloudy or rainy days), causing the inverter to operate under light load, the proportion of switching losses in the power converter's total losses increases significantly. To improve the system's conversion efficiency in the low-power range, the power converter typically operates in burst mode, meaning it operates for a period of time, then shuts down for another period before resuming operation, thus reducing switching losses.

[0003] When the power converter operates in burst mode, the DC bus voltage will experience a process of "stopping ripple generation - voltage accumulation and rise" and "ripple generation - voltage rapid drop", forming a low-frequency sawtooth ripple. This can easily lead to misjudgment of the tracking direction during maximum power point tracking, resulting in poor accuracy of maximum power point tracking. Summary of the Invention

Meanwhile, the term “and / or” as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0065] The power control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example, Figure 1 The application environment shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the DC terminal of the power converter 100 is connected to the power generation component 200, and the AC terminal of the power converter is connected to the power grid 300. The power converter 100 includes a DC bus capacitor Cdc and a power conversion circuit 110.

[0066] The power converter involved in this application is a power conversion device used to convert electrical energy from one form to another, realizing energy transmission and control under different power requirements. Common types include photovoltaic inverters, energy storage converters, optimizers, microinverters, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). For example, a power converter can convert DC direct current to AC alternating current. The DC input of the power converter is connected to a DC source (photovoltaic module), and the AC output can be connected to an AC power grid and AC equipment.

[0067] In one exemplary embodiment, the power conversion circuit 110 can be a DC-AC converter circuit employing a DAB (Dual Active Bridge) circuit topology. In one exemplary embodiment, the power conversion circuit 110 can be a unidirectional inverter circuit or a bidirectional DC-AC converter circuit.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the power generation component 200 may be one of a photovoltaic power generation component, a wind power generation component, or other new energy power generation components.

[0069] In some embodiments, the AC terminal of the power converter 100 is connected to the load.

[0070] In one exemplary embodiment, please refer to Figure 2A power control method is provided for... Figure 1 In the power converter 100 shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the DC terminal of the power converter is connected to the power generation module. The power converter includes a DC bus capacitor and operates according to a burst cycle of transmission and blocking periods. During the transmission period, the power converter converts the DC energy in the DC bus capacitor into AC energy; during the blocking period, the power converter stops transmission, allowing the DC energy output by the power generation module to be stored in the DC bus capacitor.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, the power control method provided in this embodiment includes steps 202 and 204.

[0072] Step 202: Obtain the first measured power of the power generation component during the first burst cycle and the second measured power during the second burst cycle.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 1 Measure power P pv This refers to the average power of the power generation components within a burst cycle, determined by sampling electrical data within that burst cycle. The first measured power refers to the measured power corresponding to the first burst cycle, calculated based on the sampling electrical data within the first burst cycle. The second measured power refers to the measured power corresponding to the second burst cycle, calculated based on the sampling electrical data within the second burst cycle. The terms "first" and "second" in "first measured power" and "second measured power" are only used to distinguish which burst cycle they correspond to and are not used to restrict the calculation method of the measured power.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the measured power is determined by the bus voltage sample value and the bus current sample value, as shown in Formula 1.

[0075] , Formula 1

[0076] Among them, P pv The measured power is represented by L, which represents the number of power frequency cycles included in one burst cycle, and N, which represents the number of sampling points in one power frequency cycle. One sampling point includes one bus voltage sample value and one bus current sample value. U pv,i I represents the bus voltage sample value corresponding to the i-th sampling point in one power frequency cycle. pv,i This represents the bus current sample value corresponding to the i-th sampling point in one power frequency cycle.

[0077] Step 204: Based on the first measured power and the second measured power, determine the output voltage reference of the power generation component during the third burst cycle to track the maximum power point of the power generation component.

[0078] The second outbreak cycle is the preceding outbreak cycle of the first outbreak cycle, and the third outbreak cycle is the following outbreak cycle of the first outbreak cycle, such as... Figure 3 As shown. According to the control timing of the power converter, the first burst cycle refers to the current burst cycle, the second burst cycle is the burst cycle preceding the current burst cycle, and the third burst cycle is the burst cycle following the current burst cycle.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the duration of each burst cycle is not equal; that is, the burst mode uses a variable frequency cycle. In another possible implementation, the duration of each burst cycle is equal.

[0080] Here, the output voltage reference refers to the target output voltage setting of the power generation module. After determining the target output voltage setting of the power generation module, the input control parameters of the power converter, such as the duty cycle, are adjusted to change the equivalent impedance of the power converter's input, thereby making the power generation module operate according to the output voltage reference.

[0081] Based on the first and second measured power, it can be determined whether the output voltage reference of the power generation component in the first burst cycle is closer to the maximum power point of the power generation component than the output voltage reference in the second burst cycle, or whether it has reached or is near the maximum power point. In this way, the output voltage reference in the third burst cycle can be determined.

[0082] For example, please refer to the following: (Photovoltaic power generation modules) Figure 4 The graph shows the power-voltage characteristic curve of a photovoltaic (PV) power generation module. As the output voltage (called the operating point) of the PV power generation module increases, the output power of the PV power generation module first increases and then decreases. That is, there is a maximum power point for the PV power generation module. By periodically perturbing the operating point of the PV power generation module and observing the change in the output power of the PV power generation module, we can find the optimal operating point that maximizes the output power of the PV power generation module, also known as the maximum power point, in order to maximize the utilization of light energy.

[0083] Generally, an initial output voltage reference (i.e., initial operating point) is set for photovoltaic (PV) modules, typically based on a specific voltage or current level, and the measured output power at that point is recorded. The operating point is then perturbed by slightly increasing or decreasing the output voltage reference. The perturbation amplitude can be a fixed value or adaptively adjusted based on system conditions and historical observations. The output power of the PV modules is continuously measured, and this measured power is used to determine whether the previous perturbation caused an increase or decrease in the PV module's output power. If the power increases, the current perturbation direction (increase or decrease) is considered correct, and the next perturbation will continue in the same direction. If the power decreases, the perturbation direction is reversed, and adjustments are made in the opposite direction. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4U1 is the initial output voltage reference of the photovoltaic module, and the corresponding measured power is P1. Decreasing the output voltage reference of the photovoltaic module to U2 results in a measured power of P2. Since P2 is greater than P1, the next disturbance will continue in the same direction, i.e., the output voltage reference of the photovoltaic module will continue to decrease. Similarly, the output voltage reference of the photovoltaic module will be decreased to U2. 3、 U 4、 If the measured power is found to be P3 greater than P2, P4 greater than P3, and P5 greater than P6, then the output voltage reference of the photovoltaic power generation module is further reduced, and the corresponding measured power is obtained until the output voltage reference of the photovoltaic power generation module is reduced from U5 to U6. If P6 is found to be less than P5, then the disturbance direction is reversed and adjusted in the opposite direction, that is, the output voltage reference of the photovoltaic power generation module is increased.

[0084] In one possible implementation, determining the output voltage reference of the power generation component during the third burst cycle based on the first measured power and the second measured power includes steps A2 to A4.

[0085] Step A2: Based on the comparison results of the first and second measured power, determine the third disturbance direction corresponding to the third burst cycle.

[0086] In one possible implementation, the process of determining the third disturbance direction corresponding to the third burst cycle based on the comparison result of the first measured power and the second measured power includes steps A22 to A26.

[0087] Step A22: Obtain the power difference between the first measured power and the second measured power.

[0088] The power difference Δp is obtained by subtracting the second measured power P1 from the first measured power P2. For an example, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 Assume that the output voltage reference corresponding to the first burst cycle is U2, the corresponding first measured power is P2, the output voltage reference corresponding to the second burst cycle is U1, and the corresponding second measured power is P1.

[0089] Step A24: If the power difference is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, determine that the third disturbance direction is the same as the first disturbance direction corresponding to the first burst cycle.

[0090] The first preset threshold is greater than zero. Optionally, the first power threshold is determined based on engineering tests and is a small, fixed power value. For example, the first power threshold is 2W. Optionally, the first power threshold is determined based on the maximum power of the power generation component and a preset ratio, for example, the preset ratio is 0.1% to 1%.

[0091] When the power difference Δp is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the output power of the power generation component increases in the first burst period relative to that in the second burst period. That is, the first perturbation direction corresponding to the first burst period is the perturbation direction towards the maximum power point of the power generation component. In other words, the first perturbation direction is the output reference voltage adjustment direction that makes the output power of the power generation component increase. Therefore, the first perturbation direction remains unchanged in the third burst period. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 4 , the output voltage reference of the first burst period is U2, which is obtained by reducing the output voltage U1 reference of the second burst period. When it is found that the measured power increases, the strategy of reducing the voltage continues to be maintained in the third burst period.

[0092] Step A26, when the power difference is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, determine that the third perturbation direction is opposite to the first perturbation direction corresponding to the first burst period.

[0093] Among them, the second preset threshold is less than zero. Exemplarily, the magnitudes of the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold are the same, but the signs are opposite; for example, the first preset threshold is a, and the second preset threshold is -a, where a is a positive number. Exemplarily, the signs of the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold are opposite, and the magnitudes are different.

[0094] When the power difference Δp is less than the second preset threshold, it indicates that the output power of the power generation component decreases in the first burst period relative to that in the second burst period. That is, the first perturbation direction corresponding to the first burst period is the perturbation direction away from the maximum power point of the power generation component. In other words, the first perturbation direction is the output reference voltage adjustment direction that makes the output power of the power generation component decrease. Therefore, the first perturbation direction is changed in the third burst period, and the third perturbation direction opposite to the first perturbation direction is set. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 4 , assume that the output voltage reference corresponding to the first burst period is U6, and the corresponding measured power is P6, which is obtained by reducing the output voltage U5 of the second burst period. The measured power corresponding to the second burst period is P5, and P6 < P5. When it is found that the measured power decreases, the perturbation direction is adjusted in the third burst period, and the voltage starts to increase.

[0095] In a possible implementation manner, when the power difference is greater than the second preset threshold and less than the first preset threshold, determine that the third perturbation direction is zero.

[0096] Among them, when the power difference is greater than the second preset threshold and less than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the power change is extremely small, belonging to normal perturbation, that is, the maximum power point has been tracked. Exemplarily, the power difference is the system power noise. In this implementation manner, the third perturbation direction is determined to be zero.

[0097] In this embodiment, the perturbation direction ranges from +1, -1, and 0. When the perturbation direction is +1, a preset perturbation step size is added to the current output voltage reference to obtain an updated output voltage reference. When the perturbation direction is -1, a preset perturbation step size is reduced to the current output voltage reference to obtain an updated output voltage reference. When the perturbation direction is 0, the current output voltage reference remains unchanged.

[0098] Step A4: Based on the third disturbance direction and the output voltage reference of the power generation component during the first burst cycle, determine the output voltage reference of the power generation component during the third burst cycle.

[0099] For example, the process of determining the output voltage reference in the third burst cycle is shown in the following formula: U3=U1+F×B, where U3 represents the output voltage reference corresponding to the third burst cycle, U1 represents the output voltage reference corresponding to the first burst cycle, F represents the disturbance direction, and B represents the disturbance step size.

[0100] In one possible implementation, the provided power control method further includes: when the power difference is greater than a second preset threshold and less than a first preset threshold, determining the output reference voltage of the power generation component in the first burst cycle as the output voltage reference of the power generation component in the third burst cycle.

[0101] In this embodiment, if the power difference is greater than the second preset threshold and less than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the power change is minimal, and the output reference voltage of the power generation component in the first burst cycle is directly determined as the output voltage reference of the power generation component in the third burst cycle.

[0102] The power control method provided in the above embodiments acquires the first measured power of the power generation component in the first burst cycle and the second measured power in the second burst cycle; based on the first and second measured power, it determines the output voltage reference of the power generation component in the third burst cycle to track the maximum power point of the power generation component; thus, the control cycle of the burst mode is used as the disturbance cycle in the maximum power point tracking process, the power of the current burst cycle is compared with the measured power of the previous burst cycle, the reference voltage adjustment direction of the next burst cycle is determined, and the output voltage reference in the next burst cycle is determined, so that the maximum power point tracking is based on the measured power throughout the entire burst cycle, rather than the instantaneous power fluctuation value, avoiding the influence of sawtooth ripple in the burst mode on the maximum power point tracking; the power control method provided in the above embodiments can improve the accuracy of maximum power point tracking in burst mode.

[0103] In one exemplary embodiment, based on Figure 2The illustrated embodiment provides a power control method that also includes a process for updating the power converter's output power reference. Please refer to... Figure 5 The process includes steps 502 to 504.

[0104] Step 502: Obtain the first DC voltage component of the DC bus voltage of the power converter during the first burst cycle.

[0105] Within a burst cycle, during the blocking phase, the DC bus voltage increases as the capacitor charges, and during the transmitting phase, the DC bus voltage decreases as the capacitor discharges. The DC voltage component of the DC bus voltage within a burst cycle refers to the actual measured average value of the DC bus voltage during that burst cycle.

[0106] Step 504: Perform voltage loop control processing based on the first DC voltage component and the output voltage reference corresponding to the third burst cycle to update the power converter's output power reference.

[0107] Specifically, the voltage loop controller receives the output voltage reference corresponding to the third burst cycle. Then, it is compared with the first DC voltage component (i.e., the smoothed feedback voltage). The power reference corresponding to the third burst cycle is calculated by comparing the two values. This power reference is used to generate a new waveform to adjust the feedback voltage. Approximate output voltage reference .

[0108] For example, the first DC voltage component and the output voltage reference corresponding to the third burst cycle are processed by a voltage loop PI (proportional-integral) operation to obtain the power reference of the third burst cycle.

[0109] In the power control method provided in the above embodiments, the voltage loop control processing of the power converter is performed according to the burst cycle, and the DC voltage component corresponding to the current burst cycle is used as the voltage feedback signal. In this way, the voltage feedback signal seen in the voltage loop control process of the power converter is no longer a violently fluctuating sawtooth wave, but a smooth stepped wave. This makes the voltage loop no longer respond incorrectly to the normal charging and discharging ripples in burst mode, and makes the output current waveform of the power converter smoother and sinusoidal.

[0110] In one exemplary embodiment, based on Figure 3 The illustrated embodiment provides a power control method involving the process of acquiring a first DC voltage component of the DC bus voltage of a power converter during a first burst cycle. This process includes steps B2 to B4.

[0111] Step B2: Obtain multiple bus voltage sample values ​​of the power converter during the first burst cycle.

[0112] Step B4: Obtain the first DC voltage component based on multiple bus voltage sampling values.

[0113] In one possible implementation, multiple bus voltage sample values ​​within a first burst cycle are acquired according to a preset sampling frequency; the average of the multiple bus voltage sample values ​​is then calculated to obtain a first DC voltage component.

[0114] In one possible implementation, the multiple bus voltage samples of the power converter during the first burst cycle include the peak value and valley value of the bus voltage during the first burst cycle. In this implementation, the process of obtaining the first DC voltage component based on the multiple bus voltage samples includes: averaging the peak value and valley value of the bus voltage during the first burst cycle to obtain the first DC voltage component.

[0115] In burst mode, the DC bus capacitor operates in a periodic charging and discharging state. Because the output current of the power generation component fluctuates little within milliseconds, the DC bus voltage waveform is approximately a standard triangle (sawtooth wave). According to signal processing principles, the arithmetic mean of the triangular wave is strictly equal to its DC component. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is only necessary to capture the physical inflection point of the DC bus voltage, namely the peak and valley values ​​of the bus voltage within a burst cycle of the power converter. The first DC voltage component within the first burst cycle is obtained by averaging the peak and valley values. The first DC voltage component is calculated using one addition and one division, eliminating the need for high-frequency integration operations in the power converter's processor, thus reducing computational resources. Simultaneously, averaging the peak and valley values ​​of the bus voltage within a burst cycle to obtain the DC voltage component avoids various high-frequency noises during the switching process of the switching transistors. The DC component is restored using the geometric characteristics of the triangular wave, improving the robustness of the process of obtaining the DC voltage component.

[0116] In one possible implementation of this method, please refer to Figure 6 The process of acquiring multiple bus voltage sample values ​​of the power converter during the first burst cycle includes steps 602 and 604.

[0117] Step 602: Obtain the DC bus voltage corresponding to the start time of the power converter's emission in the first burst cycle, and use it as the peak value of the bus voltage in the first burst cycle.

[0118] Step 604: Obtain the DC bus voltage corresponding to the end of the power converter's waveform generation in the first burst cycle, and use it as the bus voltage valley value in the first burst cycle.

[0119] In burst mode, a complete burst cycle includes a surge phase and a burst suppression phase. During the burst suppression phase, the power converter stops outputting power, and the generator components charge the DC bus capacitor with approximately constant current source characteristics. The DC bus voltage rises linearly, and the voltage peak occurs at the start of the surge. Therefore, the DC bus voltage at the start of the surge is the peak bus voltage within that burst cycle. During the surge phase, the power converter output current releases energy, and the DC bus voltage decreases linearly. The lowest voltage point at the end of the surge, i.e., the DC bus voltage at the end of the surge, is the trough value of the bus voltage within that surge cycle. ,like Figure 7 As shown.

[0120] For example, a state machine is used to execute timing control in burst mode. During the operation of the burst mode state machine, a completed burst cycle is defined as including a "wave generation phase (ON)" and a "wave blocking phase (OFF)". During the wave generation phase, the DC bus voltage at the start of wave generation is monitored and recorded in real time to obtain the peak value of the bus voltage; during the wave blocking phase, the DC bus voltage at the start of wave blocking (i.e., the end of wave generation) is monitored and recorded in real time to obtain the valley value of the bus voltage. When the burst mode state machine jumps to the completed state, i.e., at the end of a burst cycle, a data processing event is triggered: using the recorded peak and valley values ​​of the bus voltage, the DC bus voltage of the burst cycle is smoothed to obtain the DC voltage component of the burst cycle.

[0121] In one possible implementation, the data processing event triggered when the burst mode state machine transitions to the completion state includes: calculating the measured power within the current burst cycle for maximum power point tracking.

[0122] In this implementation, the DC bus voltage at the end of the burst cycle and the DC bus voltage at the start of the burst cycle are obtained as the peak and valley values ​​of the bus voltage within the burst cycle. Then, the average value of the peak and valley values ​​of the bus voltage is calculated. By sampling the voltage twice, adding once, and dividing once, the DC voltage component corresponding to the burst cycle can be obtained without consuming high-frequency integration operations in the processor of the power converter, thus reducing computational resources.

[0123] In one exemplary embodiment, based on Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, during the process of acquiring the first DC voltage component of the DC bus voltage of the power converter within the first burst cycle, the provided power control method further includes: generating an event-driven signal corresponding to the first burst cycle.

[0124] For example, the data processing event triggered by the burst mode and state machine at the end of a burst cycle also includes setting the data valid flag after obtaining the DC voltage component of the burst cycle.

[0125] In this embodiment, the process of performing voltage loop control processing based on the first DC voltage component and the output voltage reference corresponding to the third burst cycle to update the power converter's output power reference includes: responding to the event driving signal corresponding to the first burst cycle, performing a voltage loop adjustment operation based on the first DC voltage component and the output voltage reference corresponding to the third burst cycle to update the power converter's output power reference.

[0126] In this embodiment, in the underlying high-frequency interrupt service function, the continuously executed logic in the related technology is changed to execute a "gating" logic, that is, check whether there is an event-driven signal corresponding to the current burst cycle. If there is an event-driven signal corresponding to the current burst cycle, the latest DC voltage component is read as the voltage signal feedback value, and the output voltage reference corresponding to the next burst cycle given by the MPPT module is read. A voltage loop control operation is performed to update the power converter's output power reference.

[0127] In one possible implementation, the provided power control method further includes: upon detecting an event-driven signal corresponding to the first burst cycle, updating the power converter's output power reference in response to the event-driven signal corresponding to the first burst cycle, and then clearing the event-driven signal corresponding to the first burst cycle, so as to avoid repeated voltage loop PI calculations, which could cause voltage loop integral oversaturation, resulting in large oscillations and inaccurate control.

[0128] In this embodiment, the presence of an event-driven signal is detected. If an event-driven signal is present, the latest DC voltage component and the latest output voltage reference are obtained, a voltage loop control operation is performed, the power converter's output power reference is updated, and the event-driven signal is cleared after the voltage loop control operation is completed. Another voltage loop control operation is performed only after the event-driven signal corresponding to the next burst cycle is detected.

[0129] For example, the event-driven signal is the data valid flag. The data valid flag is checked; if it indicates that new data needs to be processed, the latest DC voltage component and the latest output voltage reference are read, a voltage loop control operation is performed, the power converter's output power reference is updated, and then the data valid flag is immediately cleared.

[0130] In one possible implementation, the power converter's output power reference remains unchanged if no event-driven signal corresponding to the third burst cycle is detected.

[0131] For example, the event-driven signal is the data valid flag. The data valid flag is checked; if it indicates that no new DC voltage component exists, the voltage loop operation is skipped, and the previous transmission power reference remains unchanged.

[0132] In one possible implementation, if no event-driven signal corresponding to the third burst cycle is detected, the power converter's power reference is updated based on the grid voltage.

[0133] For example, the event-driven signal is a data valid flag. The data valid flag is checked; if it indicates that no new DC voltage component exists, the power reference is adjusted based on the grid voltage feedforward.

[0134] In the power control method provided in the above embodiments, the adjustment period of the power converter's output power reference is synchronized with the burst period by controlling the event-driven signal, so that only one voltage loop operation is performed within a burst period, thereby reducing the processor load of the power converter.

[0135] In one exemplary embodiment, a power control method is provided for... Figure 1 In the power converter 100 shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the DC terminal of the power converter is connected to the power generation component. The power converter includes a DC bus capacitor and operates according to a burst cycle of a transmission period and a blocking period. During the transmission period, the power converter converts the DC energy in the DC bus capacitor into AC energy; during the blocking period, the power converter stops transmission, allowing the DC energy output by the power generation component to be stored in the DC bus capacitor. The power control method in this embodiment includes steps S2 to S16.

[0136] Step S2: Obtain the DC bus voltage corresponding to the start time of the power converter's emission in the first burst cycle, and use it as the peak value of the bus voltage in the first burst cycle.

[0137] Step S4: Obtain the DC bus voltage corresponding to the end of the power converter's waveform generation in the first burst cycle, and use it as the bus voltage valley value in the first burst cycle.

[0138] Step S6: Average the peak and valley values ​​of the bus voltage within the first burst cycle to obtain the first DC voltage component, and generate the event-driven signal corresponding to the first burst cycle.

[0139] Step S8: Obtain the first measured power of the power generation component during the first burst cycle and the second measured power during the second burst cycle. The second burst cycle is the burst cycle preceding the first burst cycle.

[0140] Step S10: Based on the comparison results of the first measured power and the second measured power, determine the third disturbance direction corresponding to the third burst cycle. The third burst cycle is the burst cycle following the first burst cycle.

[0141] Optionally, the power difference between the first measured power and the second measured power is obtained; if the power difference is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, the third disturbance direction is determined to be the same as the first disturbance direction corresponding to the first burst cycle; if the power difference is less than or equal to a second preset threshold, the third disturbance direction is determined to be opposite to the first disturbance direction corresponding to the first burst cycle; if the power difference is greater than the second preset threshold and less than the first preset threshold, the third disturbance direction is determined to be zero.

[0142] Step S12: Based on the third disturbance direction and the output voltage reference of the power generation component during the first burst cycle, determine the output voltage reference of the power generation component during the third burst cycle.

[0143] Step S14: In response to the event-driven signal corresponding to the first burst cycle, perform a voltage loop adjustment operation based on the first DC voltage component and the output voltage reference corresponding to the third burst cycle, update the power converter's output power reference, and clear the event-driven signal corresponding to the first burst cycle.

[0144] Step S16: If no event-driven signal corresponding to the third burst cycle is detected, keep the power converter's output power reference unchanged, or update the power converter's output power reference according to the grid voltage.

[0145] The power control method provided in the above embodiments discloses a feature sampling method based on the start and end times of wave generation to obtain the peak and valley values ​​of the DC bus voltage in a burst cycle. Using the peak and valley values ​​of the DC bus voltage as feature points, a triangular wave equivalent average value reconstruction method is adopted. Utilizing the physical characteristics of capacitor charging and discharging, the DC voltage component within a burst cycle is determined by the average value of the peak and valley values, resulting in a smooth feedback voltage and filtering ripple interference. The execution frequency of MPPT is no longer fixed but follows the frequency conversion cycle of the burst mode, achieving one wave per disturbance. Only after the end of a burst cycle is the measured power of the current burst cycle compared with the measured power of the previous burst cycle determined to determine the output voltage reference adjustment method for the next burst cycle, ensuring that MPPT makes decisions based on steady-state smooth values ​​rather than transient fluctuation values.

[0146] In the power control method provided in the above embodiments, the voltage ripple interference unique to the burst mode is filtered out by the "full burst cycle smoothing + discrete control" approach. The voltage loop no longer makes incorrect responses to normal charging and discharging ripples, and the output current waveform of the power converter is smoother and sinusoidal, improving the stability of the output current of the power converter. The above embodiments perform maximum power point tracking based on the measured power of two adjacent cycles, so that the MPPT module in the power converter is not affected by voltage ripple and only responds to the actual changes in illumination. This ensures the correct tracking direction under low power, enabling the power converter to stably lock the maximum power point even when the power generation components are lightly loaded, improving the energy capture rate and the tracking accuracy of the maximum power point.
