    Abstract: A photovoltaic power system includes a DC/AC inverter circuit, N DC/DC converter circuits that are located at a previous stage of the DC/AC inverter circuit and that are respectively connected to photovoltaic strings, and a controller connected to the DC/AC inverter circuit and the N DC/DC converter circuits. The controller is configured to: perform MPPT control on n DC/DC converter circuits, and perform CPG control on (N−n) DC/DC converter circuits. In the two control manners, a fast and accurate power reserve or limit of a photovoltaic string inverter with any illumination intensity and ambient temperature can be implemented, and fluctuation of a DC bus voltage and AC output power of the photovoltaic string inverter can be eliminated. Control on a virtual synchronous generator of the photovoltaic string inverter is implemented, and a lifespan of the photovoltaic string inverter is prolonged, without a need to add an energy storage element.

    Abstract: An islanding detection method and apparatus for an inverter, and a power supply system to resolve a problem that an existing voltage total harmonic distortion (THD)-based islanding detection method has low islanding detection reliability due to existence of a relatively large detection dead zone. According to this detection method, the voltage total harmonic distortion changes more significantly before and after the islanding effect of the inverter occurs in order to reduce an islanding detection dead zone and improve islanding detection reliability.

    Abstract: A power converter, including: at least two inverting modules, where direct current sides of the at least two inverting modules are connected in parallel using a laminated busbar or a circuit board, and the at least two inverting modules run in an interleaved and parallel manner. In the present invention, the power converter is formed by connecting at least two inverting modules in parallel, and the direct current sides of the at least two inverting modules are connected in parallel using the laminated busbar or the circuit board, so that parasitic inductance between inverting modules is small, forming a low parasitic inductance loop. When the at least two inverting modules run in an interleaved and parallel manner, the low parasitic inductance loop counteracts most ripple currents in a circuit, thereby reducing the burden of the ripple currents on a bus capacitor. Therefore, the demand of the power converter provided in the present invention for the bus capacitor is small.
