Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power equipment technology, specifically a new type of low-voltage photovoltaic grid-connected cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy technologies, especially photovoltaic (PV) energy, which is clean, renewable, and widely distributed, it has become an important direction for my country's energy transformation. Currently, most PV energy applications are in industrial and commercial sectors, using their own power distribution equipment and transformers to generate electricity, and most adopt a "self-consumption with surplus power fed into the grid" revenue model.

[0003] While this model can bring considerable benefits to developers, some problems will emerge in daily use. For example, after the photovoltaic grid is connected, if the user side operates under no-load or low-load conditions for a long period of time due to some reason, the power factor will be too low, resulting in a large power factor adjustment fee. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel low-voltage photovoltaic grid-connected cabinet, which solves the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the capacitor chamber is provided with a wire for passing through the inlet hole. The wire is fixedly connected to a small three-phase capacitor inside the capacitor chamber. A ventilation hole is fixedly installed on the side of the capacitor chamber near the main body of the grid-connected cabinet. An exhaust fan is also fixedly installed at the ventilation hole. A door is also fixedly installed on one side of the capacitor chamber.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] 1. This utility model improves the situation where the power factor of the transformer is too low during no-load operation by optimizing the photovoltaic grid-connected cabinet and directly connecting the capacitor to the inverter busbar where the inverter wires are located.

[0009] 2. This utility model achieves the goal of reducing users' electricity costs and increasing power generation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0014] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel low-voltage photovoltaic grid-connected cabinet includes a grid-connected cabinet body 1. A capacitor chamber 8 is fixedly installed inside the grid-connected cabinet body 1. The capacitor chamber 8 is fixedly installed on one side inside the grid-connected cabinet body 1. Mounting strips A are fixedly installed on both sides inside the grid-connected cabinet body 1. Mounting strip B is fixedly installed between the two mounting strips A. A molded case circuit breaker 12 and an air switch 4 are fixedly installed on the mounting strip B. An inverter busbar 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the molded case circuit breaker 12 and the air switch 4. A cabinet vertical busbar 2 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the inverter busbar 3. A wire 5 is provided between the air switch 4 and the capacitor chamber 8. A wire 5 for passing through the inlet hole 6 is provided on the capacitor chamber 8. The wire 5 is fixedly connected to a small three-phase capacitor 7 inside the capacitor chamber 8. A ventilation hole 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the capacitor chamber 8 near the grid-connected cabinet body 1. An exhaust fan 9 is also fixedly installed at the ventilation hole 11. A door 10 is also fixedly installed on one side of the capacitor chamber 8.

[0015] In this implementation plan, assuming the user's transformer capacity is 630kVA and two photovoltaic grid-connected cabinets are configured, the reactive power loss of the transformer under no-load conditions is approximately 4kVar. At this time, the user's capacitor bank controller cannot detect the load current and will not be put into operation. If the user operates under no-load or low-load conditions for a long period of time, it will result in a low power factor for the user, generating a large amount of power factor adjustment fees. Based on this circuit principle, the manufacturer can install a 2kVar capacitor in each grid-connected cabinet during production. The capacitor is connected to the busbar of the inverter cable via a cable, and only an air switch is required. The capacitor can be placed directly in the capacitor compartment of the grid-connected cabinet. If the user is under no-load conditions, the grid-connected cabinet capacitor will directly compensate. If the user is operating under load, the capacitor and the user's capacitor bank will jointly compensate. Furthermore, compensation can still be performed after the photovoltaic system stops generating electricity at night, thereby achieving the goal of improving the power factor.

[0016] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
