    摘要: A power system has a first converter; a second converter; a first controller for generating a first command and a second command, controlling the first converter on the basis of the first command, and transmitting the second command to a second controller; and the second controller for controlling the second converter on the basis of the second command. The first controller adjusts the first command to cancel at least one of shortage and excess of second current by first current. The second controller controls the second converter on the basis of the second command when the first command is smaller than first upper limit. The second controller controls the second converter on the basis of second upper limit when the first command reaches the first upper limit.

    摘要: A main unit 2 and a subsidiary unit 4 include two inverters 6m, 8m and 6s, 8s, and PWM control circuits 26m, 26s, respectively. A changeover switch 20 operates to simultaneously connect the inputs of the two inverters of the main unit 2 and the inputs of the two inverters of the subsidiary unit 4 in series or in parallel. An imbalance detecting circuit 28 detects imbalance in the input voltages to the two inverters of the main unit 2, and provides the detection result to the PWM control circuits 26m and 26s. The PWM control circuit 26m controls the inverters 6m and 8m of the main unit 2 in accordance with the detection result supplied from the imbalance detecting circuit 26m, and the PWM control circuit 26s controls the subsidiary unit 4 in accordance with the detection result supplied from the imbalance detecting circuit 26m. The input current to the main unit 2 is larger than the input current to the subsidiary unit 4.

    摘要: An inverter for converting DC power of a generator into grid-conforming AC power includes an inverter bridge circuit and a scanning circuit configured to trace at least one part of a characteristic curve of the generator to determine an MPP power value (PMPP). The scanning circuit is configured, in the case of a derating to a derated power (Pred), to trigger a tracing of the characteristic curve with provision of a first power profile deviating from the derated power (Pred) if an enable signal is present at the inverter, and to indicate a start and an end of the tracing by outputting a start signal and an end signal, respectively. The scanning circuit is further configured to provide a second power profile as AC power upon receiving a start signal, wherein the first power profile has a deviation from the derated power (Pred) with a sign that is opposite to a sign of a deviation of the second power profile from the derated power (Pred).
