    Abstract: A method for monitoring of contacts of a photovoltaic system includes injection of a test signal having a plurality of frequencies, into the photovoltaic system, and determining a generator impedance of the photovoltaic system by evaluating a response signal associated with the test signal. The method further includes monitoring of contacts of the photovoltaic system independently of operating states of the photovoltaic system by modelling of an alternating-current response of the photovoltaic system based on the determined generator impedance, wherein the modelling is specific to at least two different operating states of the photovoltaic system.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for determining a characteristic curve for a photovoltaic (PV) string of a photovoltaic system having an inverter which is connected to the photovoltaic string and to a power supply network. The photovoltaic string includes a series connection of a plurality of photovoltaic modules, in which series connection at least one of the photovoltaic modules is integrated into the series connection of the photovoltaic modules via a DC/DC converter. The at least one DC/DC converter operates the photovoltaic module assigned thereto in a first operating mode M1 at a maximum power point by varying, over time, a conversion ratio of output voltage (UOut) to input voltage (UIn), and operates the photovoltaic module in a second operating mode M2 with a conversion ratio of output voltage (UOut) to input voltage (UIn) that is constant over time. The method includes operating the at least one DC/DC converter in the second operating mode M2 in response to a current signature for the current (IStr) through the photovoltaic string, determining the characteristic curve by varying the current IStr or the voltage UStr of the photovoltaic string by the inverter, and detecting values assigned to one another for current IStr and voltage UStr of the photovoltaic string in the second operating mode M2 of the DC/DC converter.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for localizing and quenching an arc in a PV generator of a PV system, wherein the PV generator includes at least two PV subgenerators. An arc quenching circuit is associated with each PV subgenerator. The method includes detecting an arc in the PV generator. Then, a probability value is determined for each of the PV subgenerators, wherein the probability value is correlated with a probability that the arc is located in the corresponding PV subgenerator. A sequence for activating the arc quenching circuits is then determined that is dependent on the determined probability values. Then, the arc quenching circuits are activated successively in the order of the determined sequence.

    Abstract: A method for detecting an arc fault in a photovoltaic power circuit includes operating a photovoltaic generator at a first working point. A first signal related to a DC-current and/or a DC-voltage in the power circuit is determined. The first signal is analyzed and it is determined whether the signal indicates the presence of an electric arc in the power circuit. If so, the photovoltaic generator is operated at a second working point and a second signal related to the DC-current and/or the DC-voltage is determined. The first and second signals are then compared; and the occurrence of an arc fault in the power circuit is selectively signaled based on the comparison.
