摘要:
An apparatus may determine a parameter related to a voltage value at a midpoint terminal of a system power device, and may adjust a voltage applied to a second terminal of the system power device based on the parameter and a reference value. The second terminal may be different from the midpoint terminal.
摘要:
Circuits integrated or integrable with a photovoltaic panel to provide built-in functionality to the photovoltaic panel including safety features such as arc detection and elimination, ground fault detection and elimination, reverse current protection, monitoring of the performance of the photovoltaic panel, transmission of the monitored parameters and theft prevention of the photovoltaic panel. The circuits may avoid power conversion, for instance DC/DC power conversion, may avoid performing maximum power tracking to include a minimum number of components and thereby increase overall reliability.
摘要:
A power system comprising one or more power generators and a combiner. The system may be electrically connected to or include one or more loads. The combiner may have input terminals that are coupled to outputs of the power generators. The combiner may also have output terminals that are coupled to input(s) of the one or more loads. The power generators may be configured to transfer harvested power to the combiner, and the combiner may be configured to transfer the harvested power to the one or more loads.

A photovoltaic module including a photovoltaic panel (101) and an electrical circuit (103) connected thereto. The photovoltaic panel (101) includes multiple bus bars (a, b, c) connected to an input of the electrical circuit (103). The electrical circuit (103) includes at least one input bypass circuit (121)connected across the bus bars (a, b, c) at the input of the electrical circuit (103). Circuitry includes a switch (SW1) connected between the input and the output of the electrical circuit (103). The circuitry functions to disconnect the photovoltaic panel (101) from the output of the electrical circuit (103). An output bypass circuit (121) is connected to the output of the electrical circuit (103). The output of the electrical circuit (103) is connectible to a second like electrical circuit of a second like photovoltaic module. The output bypass circuit (121) is an active bypass circuit which draws power from the output of the electrical circuit.

A power device includes one or more electrical components, the electrical components including one or more physical attribute. The power device includes one or more sensors configured to monitor the attribute(s). The power device includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including one or more alerting rule. The power device includes one or more processors configured for retrieving the one or more alerting rule from the storage medium. The processors are configured for monitoring one or more sensor value from the sensor(s), wherein the sensor values are associated with the attribute(s). The processors are configured for evaluating the at least one alerting rule during the monitoring, and when the one or more alerting rule results in a pending failure condition, sending a notification to a user.
摘要:
A direct current (DC) power combiner (19) operable to interconnect multiple interconnected photovoltaic strings (8). The DC power combiner may include a device adapted for disconnecting at least one photovoltaic string from the multiple interconnected photovoltaic strings, each photovoltaic string connectible by a first and second DC power line. The device may include a differential current sensor (RCD1) adapted to measure differential current by comparing respective currents in the first and second DC power lines. A first switch connected in series with the first DC power line. A control module (10) operatively attached to the differential current sensor and the first switch. The control module may be operable to open the first switch when the differential current sensor measures the differential current to be greater than a maximum allowed current differential, thereby isolating the first DC power line from the DC power combiner and disconnecting the photovoltaic string from the interconnected photovoltaic strings.
