Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of machinery, in particular to an inverter series-parallel circuit. Background Art

[0002] Micro inverters invert each component. Its advantage is that it can independently control the MPPT of each component, which can greatly improve the overall efficiency. At the same time, it can also avoid the DC high voltage, poor weak light effect, and barrel effect of centralized inverters.

[0003] North American micro inverters generally have a photovoltaic voltage input range of 24-60V DC, and the input and output require isolation, so energy transfer must be isolated using a transformer. MOS tubes can dissipate heat by connecting heat sinks, but the heat dissipation method of transformers is limited by parameters and structure in addition to materials. The multi-way parallel architecture will always have shortcomings and cannot guarantee consistency. In addition, when the photovoltaic input voltage is below 24V, the inverter will stop working. The transformer in the inverter is a power transmission link, so the transformer power balance design can effectively alleviate the problem of uneven heat dissipation caused by inconsistent device parameters, so it needs to be improved.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the contents in the accompanying drawings do not constitute any limitation to the present invention.

[0022] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] 1. Two sets of outputs are converted to series voltage boost under low voltage input:

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the inverter photovoltaic input uses a basic push-pull structure, Q1, Q4, Q7, Q8 are N-MOS of model 2SK1158 used to control the charging and discharging of the primary winding of the transformer; J1, J2 are two high-frequency power transformers KD-WC700W-25V, where the input is with an intermediate tap, and the output voltage of the two secondary windings of each transformer is the same; REC1, REC2 are rectifier bridges of model GBPC3510, and the current can reach 35A; filter capacitor at the power input end of the comparator; L1, L2 are energy storage inductors; C1, C2 are filter capacitors; R1, R2, R3, R4 are discharge resistors, D1, D2 are anti-reverse diodes of model RHRP1560; Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6 are N-MOS of model NCE65TF130 used for level flipping, which inverts the steamed bun wave into standard AC power.

[0027] Principle: Q1, Q4, Q7, Q8 and transformers J1 and J2 form a push-pull architecture. The push-pull circuit adopts PWM current control mode, which is very beneficial for micro inverters. On the one hand, it can prevent the magnetic saturation of the transformer, and on the other hand, it can ensure grid connection by current loop control. The gates of Q1 and Q7 are connected in parallel and controlled by SPWMA signal, and the gates of Q4 and Q8 are connected in parallel and controlled by SPWMB signal. Signals SPWMA and SPWMB are output by the processor. Since the pulses of SPWMA and SPWMB are alternately controlled, the magnetic field of the transformer is alternately changed, so the magnetic saturation of the transformer can be prevented. VPP is the photovoltaic voltage input voltage.

[0028] In order to achieve tighter energy coupling, the transformer is generally made into a sandwich winding method, with the primary coil wound in the middle of the magnetic core and the secondary windings wound on both sides. The secondary winding of the transformer can be an output. In order to ensure that the heat dissipation area of ​​the transformer is increased at the same time, we split the output winding of the transformer into two identical parts. As shown in the figure, the secondary output pin 4 of the transformer J1 is connected to the pin 3 of the rectifier bridge REC1, the pin 5 is connected in series to the pin 6 of the transformer J2, and the pin 7 of the transformer J2 is connected to the pin 4 of the rectifier bridge REC1. Similarly, the two transformers J1, J2 and the rectifier bridge REC2 are connected in the same way. This series connection of the secondary windings of the J1 and J2 transformers can effectively suppress the difference in the parameters of the two transformers to ensure that the AC impedance of the secondary windings is approximately equal. In this way, after multiple groups of this circuit are connected in parallel, the energy of each sub-circuit can be basically balanced.

[0029] After the rectifier bridge, the first circuit is filtered by L1 and C1, and the second circuit is filtered by L2 and C2, and then directly connected in parallel through the normally closed contacts of the default state of relay K1 (the relay contains two sets of independent switches, one set of 6 and 7 is turned on by default, and the other set of 2 and 3 is turned on by default). R1 ​​and R2 are energy discharge resistors of L1 and C1, and R3 and R4 are energy discharge resistors of L2 and C2.

[0030] When the voltage after the rectifier bridge is lower than the voltage of the grid, we control relay K1 to operate, a group of switches 6 and 7 are disconnected, 5 and 6 are connected, and another group of switches 2 and 3 are disconnected, 3 and 4 are connected. At this time, the output of the first circuit and the output of the second circuit form a series mode, the voltage after the rectifier bridge doubles, and the inverter can continue to output energy to the grid.

[0031] D1 and D2 are used to prevent the backflow of grid voltage.

[0032] Q2, Q3, Q5, and Q6 are NCE65TF130 N-MOS used for level flipping, which converts the steamed bun wave into standard AC power. This H-bridge works in low-frequency mode and is only used to flip the second waveform next to it to the negative direction to form AC power.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
