[0051] Example 1:

[0052] Photovoltaic energy storage is a technology that stores the electrical energy generated by a photovoltaic (PV) power generation system for further utilization. The power output of a PV system depends on the intensity of solar radiation; the stronger the solar radiation, the more energy the PV cells receive, and the higher the power output. Therefore, PV systems are more suitable for installation in areas with abundant sunlight. However, even with abundant sunlight, power output varies at different times of day. Furthermore, during the daytime, solar radiation is stronger, resulting in more energy being received by the PV cells. At night or on cloudy days, solar radiation is weaker or even negligible, leading to insufficient energy received by the PV cells to power the appliances. Existing PV systems are typically used in conjunction with DC output voltage. The PV system inputs DC voltage into a DC output circuit, which then stabilizes the DC voltage output. However, due to time-related limitations, existing PV systems sometimes lack sufficient DC voltage input to the output circuit, further hindering the effective and continuous output of DC voltage.

[0053] Appendix Figure 1 This is a block diagram of the DC voltage output circuit 10 of this application. Please refer to the attached diagram. Figure 1 As shown, the DC voltage output circuit 10 of this application includes a DC voltage input module 300. The DC voltage input module 300 is connected to the photovoltaic power generation system. When the solar radiation is strong, the first DC voltage generated by the photovoltaic power generation system is input to the DC voltage output circuit 10 through the DC voltage input module 300.

[0054] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, the DC voltage output circuit 10 of this application also includes an AC voltage input module 100 and a rectifier circuit 200. The AC voltage input module 100 of this application is connected to the power grid and the rectifier circuit 200 respectively. Thus, when the solar radiation is weak, the photovoltaic power generation system cannot generate electricity through radiation. However, the DC voltage output circuit 10 needs to provide DC voltage. Therefore, the AC power from the power grid is directly input into the DC voltage output through the AC power input module, and the AC power is adjusted to the first DC voltage through the rectifier circuit 200.

The rectifier and filter module 800 is used to receive the first DC voltage from the transformer 600 and to smooth the first DC voltage. The filter unit in the rectifier and filter module 800 is generally composed of energy storage components such as capacitors and inductors. By utilizing the charging and discharging characteristics of capacitors and the current-resisting characteristics of inductors, the AC components in the first DC voltage are filtered out, making the output first DC voltage smoother and more stable to meet the power supply stability requirements of electronic devices.

The boost module 400 is connected to the first capacitor 510 through the first inductor 520. The first capacitor 510 is connected to the transformer 600.

[0061] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 2 As shown, the first circuit topology 500 of this application also includes a second capacitor 530.

The first connection point of the first switching transistor 540 is connected to the connection line between the boost module 400 and the first capacitor 510. The second connection point of the first switching transistor 540 is connected to the connection line between the transformer 600 and the second capacitor 530.

[0063] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 2 As shown, the first circuit topology 500 of this application further includes an active clamping circuit 550, which is connected to the boost module 400 and the first switching transistor 540. The active clamping circuit 550 further includes a first connection point and a second connection point.

The active clamping circuit 550 is used to limit voltage spikes when the first switching transistor 540 is in a cutoff state, thereby protecting the circuit.

[0064] In one embodiment, the active clamping circuit 550 includes a second switch 551 and a third capacitor 552. The second switch 551 is connected to the third capacitor 552. The second switch 551 is located near the first switch 540, and the third capacitor 552 is located near the boost module 400.

[0065] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 2 As shown, the DC voltage output circuit 10 of this application also includes a grounding line 900, which is connected to the connection line between the second capacitor 530 and the transformer 600.

[0066] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 2 As shown, the transformer 600 of this application includes a primary winding 610 and a secondary winding 620.

The primary winding 610 is connected to a first inductor and a second capacitor 530, and the secondary winding 620 is connected to a rectifier and filter module 800.

[0067] In practical use, when the photovoltaic power generation system is operating under strong sunlight, its power generation is sufficient. The system is connected to the DC voltage input module 300 to input the first DC voltage. The boost module 400 is connected to both the DC voltage input module 300 and the first switching transistor 540. The first switching transistor 540 is in the ON state, allowing the first DC voltage to be input from the boost module 400 to the first switching transistor 540. The first switching transistor 540 is connected to the second capacitor 530, which in turn is connected to the boost module 400, forming a circuit. The first DC voltage flows back from the second capacitor 530 to the boost module 400, thus activating the boost module 400 to boost the first DC voltage. Further, when the first switching transistor 540 switches from the ON state to the OFF state, the active clamping circuit 550 activates to limit voltage spikes. Next, the first DC current starts from the boost module 400 and passes through the first capacitor 510, the first inductor 520, the primary winding 610 and the second capacitor 530 in sequence to form a circuit. At this time, the primary winding 610 generates a magnetic field, and the secondary winding 620 generates an induced electromotive force, thereby generating a current in the secondary winding 620 to further realize the transfer of the first DC voltage from the primary winding 610 to the secondary winding 620. Finally, the first DC voltage is output by the DC voltage output module 700 after passing through the rectifier and filter module 800.

[0068] When sunlight is weak, the photovoltaic power generation system generates insufficient power to supply the subsequent DC voltage output circuit 10. The AC voltage input module 100 is connected to the grid, providing AC power to the DC voltage output circuit 10. The AC power is then sent to the rectifier circuit 200, which converts the AC voltage into a first DC voltage. The boost module 400 is connected to both the rectifier circuit 200 and the first switching transistor 540. The first switching transistor 540 is in the ON state, allowing the first DC voltage to be input from the boost module 400 to the first switching transistor 540. The first switching transistor 540 is connected to the second capacitor 530, which in turn is connected to the boost module 400, forming a loop. The first DC voltage flows back from the second capacitor 530 to the DC boost module 400, thus activating the boost module 400 to boost the first DC voltage. Further, the first switching transistor 540 switches from the ON state to the OFF state, at which point the active clamping circuit 550 activates to limit voltage spikes. Next, the first DC current starts from the boost module 400 and passes through the first capacitor 510, the first inductor 520, the primary winding 610 and the second capacitor 530 in sequence to form a circuit. At this time, the primary winding 610 generates a magnetic field, and the secondary winding 620 generates an induced electromotive force, thereby generating a current in the secondary winding 620 to further realize the transfer of the first DC voltage from the primary winding 610 to the secondary winding 620. Finally, the first DC voltage is output by the DC voltage output module 700 after passing through the rectifier and filter module 800.
