Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electricity, and particularly relates to a control circuit and a control system. Background Technique

[0002] At present, the functions of in-vehicle photovoltaic controllers are single. They mainly charge the vehicle's battery, convert DC low voltage to low voltage, and the battery mainly supplies power to the vehicle's low-voltage electrical appliances.

[0003] Currently, the following problems exist in the vehicle battery charging test:

[0004] 1. On the front-stage solar side, a parallel connection method is often used to provide a larger charging power. Since the voltage on the solar panel side is usually low (30V or 60V), when the power increases after parallel connection, the current will become very large, resulting in the inability to select components on the LLC side. For example, when the voltage on the solar panel side is 30V and an input power of 2kW needs to be achieved, the current has reached 67A, and the component selection, load-bearing capacity, and efficiency are all greatly challenged.
