Description

Photovoltaic power generation systems, by converting solar energy into electricity, can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease dependence on fossil fuels.

[0003] However, the power output of photovoltaic power generation systems is somewhat unstable, mainly affected by factors such as weather changes, solar radiation intensity, and temperature. This volatility can cause grid voltage fluctuations and power quality problems when photovoltaic power plants are connected to the grid, and may even lead to frequent system adjustments to adapt to instantaneous load changes, thus affecting the system's efficiency and stability. Although some inverters use battery energy storage systems, the response speed of batteries is relatively slow, and they are prone to over-discharge or over-charge under extreme load conditions. In addition, the installation structure of most photovoltaic grid-connected inverters is relatively complex, which can easily lead to problems such as messy wiring and loose lines, increasing the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0028] This invention provides a capacitor-based photovoltaic grid-connected inverter that can quickly respond to output fluctuations or load changes in the photovoltaic system, ensuring stable power output of the inverter system. It also provides neat wiring and prevents cables from being pulled or interfered with during use, reducing the risk of failure caused by loose or broken cables and lowering the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A capacitor-based photovoltaic grid-connected inverter includes an inverter host 1, a bracket 2, a capacitor 3, and a fixing clamp module 4. The inverter host 1 is mounted on the bracket 2, and the capacitor 3 is connected to the inverter host 1. The capacitor 3 acts as an energy buffer, smoothly absorbing or releasing DC power, thereby ensuring the stability of the power output of the inverter host 1 when there are load fluctuations, changes in light intensity, or instantaneous voltage changes, and avoiding grid fluctuations. The fixing clamp module 4 is installed on the bracket 2. The fixing clamp module 4 orderly fixes the cables connected to the inverter host 1 in different directions, preventing the cables from being pulled or interfered with during use, and reducing the risk of failure caused by loose or broken cables.

[0030] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inverter main unit 1 includes a housing and a main control module configured inside the housing. The main control module is connected to the capacitor 3. The housing is fixed on the bracket 2, and the side wall of the housing is installed with a port module 5 connected to the main control module. The port module 5 provides convenient conditions for system expansion and supports compatible connection with other devices (such as energy storage systems, smart meters, etc.), improving flexibility and maintainability.

[0031] Optionally, the port module 5 includes at least a DC interface, an AC interface, a communication interface, an AC / DC circuit breaker interface, and a DC power control port.

[0032] For example, please refer to Figure 1 The support frame 2 includes a frame 21 and two support rods 22. The frame 21 is vertically arranged, and the two support rods 22 are respectively installed at the bottom of the frame 21 along the width direction of the frame 21 to ensure stable support of the frame 21. Furthermore, the support frame 2 also includes two wheels 23, which are respectively installed on both sides of the frame 21 in the width direction to facilitate the transport of the transformer main unit. Furthermore, the support frame 2 also includes a handrail 24, one end of which is installed on the back of the frame 21, and the other end extends away from the frame 21. The handrail 24 is located above the frame 21 for easy hand support.

[0033] The above settings not only facilitate the movement and installation of the inverter main unit 1, but also make it easy to maintain or replace it when needed.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The front of the frame 21 is mounted on the back plate 25, the inverter main unit 1 is mounted on the back plate 25, and the back plate 25 is provided with a through hole 251. The capacitor 3 is connected to the DC cable. The DC cable passes through the through hole 251 and is connected to the main control module. Specifically, the DC cable is connected to the main control module through the DC interface.

[0035] Preferably, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The perforation 251 is set along the width direction of the bracket 2. The cable clamp D6 is slidably mounted on the wall of the perforation 251 along the width direction of the bracket 2. That is, the cable clamp D6 is slidably installed on the wall of the perforation 251 and is limited by its structural features (such as elastic arms, buckles, etc.). The cable clamp D6 is an O-shaped clamp, and the DC cable is fixed to the cable clamp D6. Through the cooperation of the perforation 251 and the cable clamp D6, a flexible fixing space is provided inside the back plate 25 to ensure that the DC cable is not compressed or rubbed during the arrangement.

[0036] Please see Figure 1The photovoltaic grid-connected inverter based on capacitors provided in this embodiment also includes a connecting rod. The connecting rod has an L-shaped structure. One end of the connecting rod is connected to one side of the frame 21 in the width direction, and the other end is connected to the support rod 22 on the same side. The fixing module clamp is installed on the connecting rod.

[0037] Optionally, this embodiment includes two connecting rods, each equipped with a fixing module clamp. One end of one connecting rod is connected to one side of the frame 21 in the width direction, and the other end is connected to a support rod 22 located on the same side. The other connecting rod is connected to the other side of the frame 21 in the width direction, and the other end is connected to a support rod 22 located on the same side. This arrangement improves the flexibility of wiring.

[0038] Alternatively, at least two fixing clamp modules 4 can be installed at intervals along the vertical direction on the connecting rod to further improve the flexibility of wiring.

[0039] The fixing clamp module 4 is used to fix the cables of different directions connected to the inverter host 1 in an orderly manner, so as to prevent the cables from being pulled or interfered with during use and reduce the risk of failure caused by loose or broken cables.

[0040] For example, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The fixing clamp module 4 includes a main clamp body 41, a frame plate 42 and multiple cable clamps with different clamping directions. The main clamp body 41 is installed on the bracket 2, the frame plate 42 is installed on the side of the main clamp body 41 away from the bracket 2, and the cable clamps are set on the frame plate 42. Cables with different directions are fixed to the corresponding cable clamps and then connected to the corresponding interfaces of the port module 5.

[0041] Preferably, the main clamp 41 clamps the connecting rod.

[0042] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the frame plate 42 is provided with cable clamps A43, B44 and C45. The clamping direction of cable clamp A43 is parallel to the X direction, the clamping direction of cable clamp B44 is parallel to the Y direction, and the clamping direction of cable clamp C45 is parallel to the Z direction. Through the above arrangement, cable clamp A43 orderly fixes the X-direction cable connected to the inverter, cable clamp B44 orderly fixes the Y-direction cable connected to the inverter, and cable clamp C45 orderly fixes the Z-direction cable connected to the inverter. This can prevent the cable from being pulled or interfered with during use and reduce the risk of failure caused by loose or broken cables.

[0043] It should be noted that cable clamps are a common device in existing technology, and their structure will not be described in detail here.

[0044] The capacitor-based photovoltaic grid-connected inverter provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] Capacitor 3 is combined with inverter host 1. Capacitor 3 acts as an energy buffer, smoothly absorbing or releasing DC power. This ensures the stability of the power output of inverter host 1 when there are load fluctuations, changes in light intensity, or instantaneous voltage changes, avoiding grid fluctuations. Capacitor 3 can quickly respond to output fluctuations or load changes in the photovoltaic system, reducing the need for inverter host 1 to frequently adjust its output power, thereby extending the service life and overall efficiency of the photovoltaic system.

[0046] The bracket 2, together with the handrail 24 and the wheels 23, not only facilitates the movement and installation of the inverter main unit 1, but also makes it convenient to maintain or replace the equipment when needed.

[0047] The fixing module 4 secures the X, Y, and Z cables connected to the inverter host 1 in an orderly manner, preventing the cables from being pulled or interfered with during use and reducing the risk of failure caused by loose or broken cables.

[0048] The combination of the perforation 251 and the cable clamp D6 provides flexible fixing space inside the backplate 25, ensuring that the DC cable is not compressed or rubbed during installation.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
