摘要: System, device and method for exporting power are provided including at least one AC optimizer with plurality of DC inputs each connecting with respective one of plurality of DC sources, and independent maximum power point tracking (MPPT) performed for each respective DC source to extract power from each DC source for output and coupling to AC grid. When multiple AC optimizers are employed, with each AC optimizer having multiple DC inputs, each DC input can be connected to PV module with independent MPPT function. Since, each AC optimizer can serve multiple PV modules, significant cost saving and efficiencies can be achieved. Optionally, on PV sub-module level, each of the multiple DC inputs can be used as an independent MPPT channel for a PV sub-module cell string.

摘要: An apparatus having an AC rectifier configured to generate one or more rectified signals from an alternating current (AC) signal, bus having a positive line and a negative line, parallel converter connected between the positive line and the negative line, and bulk capacitor coupled to the parallel converter. The bus is connected to the AC rectifier to receive a first of the rectified signals between the positive line and the negative line. The apparatus has a controller configured to operate the parallel converter in a first mode in which energy from a second of the rectified signals from the AC rectifier is stored in the bulk capacitor and a second mode in which the energy stored in the bulk capacitor is discharged to the bus to increase a voltage on the bus during at least an initial portion of the second mode.

摘要: A direct current (DC) bus voltage from a combined output of a plurality of DC power modules is controlled based on an alternating current (AC) voltage of a power grid. The DC bus voltage tracks the AC grid voltage to provide efficient conversion between the DC power sources and the AC grid, even when the amplitude of the AC grid voltage varies. In one example, a variable reference voltage is generated based on a detected AC grid voltage. The reference voltage increases and decreases in proportion to increases and decreases in the AC grid voltage. In this manner, large differences between the bus voltage and the grid voltage are avoided. By closely tracking the two voltages, efficiency in the modulation index for power conversion can be achieved.
