Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a commutation process of a load current between two switching modules are disclosed that each have a MOSFET that can be controlled by a gate-source voltage, and an intrinsic-body inverse diode. To reduce oscillations in the down-commutation of the inverse diodes caused by parasitic circuit parameters, after switching off one of the switching modules, the gate-source control voltage applied to this switching module is temporarily switched off until being increased again the vicinity of the threshold voltage for switching on the MOSFET, before and while the other switching module is switched on, in order to commutate the current from the inverse diode of the one switching module to the MOSFET of the other switching module.

Abstract: Provided is a method for performing AC optimal yield control within an inverter that includes a plurality of DC power sources configured to supply DC power, a plurality of converters to convert direct current power to alternating current power to be supplied to a load, a plurality of short-circuit protection devices connected to a DC interconnection bus at the DC power sources, and configured to provide short-circuit protection, a plurality of current sensors configured to sense circulation current at the short-circuit protection devices, and a controller. The controller controls the converters and monitors the circulation current sensed along the DC interconnection bus via the current sensors, and when power reduction occurs at one of the DC power sources, performs a closed-loop control current operation to controllably increase the circulation current along the DC interconnection bus to be greater than an impairment lower limit of the short-circuit protection devices.

Abstract: A power distribution system has a power converter with a plurality of semiconductor switching devices per phase, a PWM controller, and a current limitation controller. The current limitation controller is adapted, at least when a short-circuit fault is detected, to calculate the difference between a measured current for each phase and a reference current for the corresponding phase. If the calculated difference is located outside a predetermined current range centered about the reference current for the corresponding phase, the current limitation controller will allow the semiconductor switching devices of the corresponding phase to be turned on and off by the PWM controller. Otherwise, if the calculated difference is located inside the predetermined current range, the current limitation controller will control the semiconductor switching devices for the corresponding phase to be turned off irrespective of the PWM control strategy applied by the PWM controller.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cover to enclose a longitudinal section of at least one electrical conductor and prevent the formation of an arc or a flashover. The cover has at least two cover parts made of an electrically insulating material. A first cover part and a second cover part each have at least one passage opening. Each passage opening has an electrical conductor guided through it, so that no gap opening, or only a small gap opening remains between the outside surface of the conductor and a bordering wall of the passage opening. Moreover, the cover has at least one connection location. At this connection location, two of the cover parts that are present lie against one another in a force-fit and/or positive-fit manner and form a nondestructively detachable connection. This ensures accessibility to the protected longitudinal section.

Abstract: A control device and method for large power converters having a high number of power cells may contain power semiconductor switching elements, receive commands from a central control unit, and send information to the central control unit. The control device comprises multiplexer/demultiplexer device(s), which comprises an uplink port for connection to the central control unit, a plurality of downlink ports for direct connection to a communications interface of an associated power cell, and a communications control and management module. The communications control and management module may extract information from a transmit frame received from the central control unit via the uplink port, may feed this information to the corresponding downlink port for the relevant power cell , may insert response information received from particular power cells into a receive frame, and may send this via the uplink port to the central control unit.

Abstract: An inverter and method of controlling an inverter, which is connected between a photovoltaic generator and a power supply network for ride-through of a network fault, is disclosed. A voltage dip is detected in the network voltage and the voltage of a DC voltage link of the inverter is monitored. When the DC link voltage exceeds an upper limit value, an operating mode for ride-through of the network fault is started. The upper limit value corresponds to a saturation voltage in the specific Iac/Udc characteristic curve of the inverter, above which the maximum AC output current of the inverter decreases. In the FRT operating mode, an energy dissipation device dissipates power from the DC voltage link and is controlled to keep the DC link voltage within a range below the saturation voltage.
