    摘要: A power line communication apparatus includes a first power line communication device disposed at a signal transmit end, a second power line communication device disposed at a signal receive end, a power line, a first magnetic ring disposed at the signal transmit end, and a second magnetic ring disposed at the signal receive end. The second power line communication device receives the modulated signal from the power line. The power line includes a wire for transmitting electric energy and a shield layer that wraps the wire for electromagnetic shielding. The wire and the shield layer separately extend from the signal transmit end to the signal receive end. The first magnetic ring and the second magnetic ring are separately coupled to the shield layer, to suppress inductance attenuation of the magnetic ring and improve reliability of the transmitted modulated signal.

    摘要: An inverter in a power generation system converts a direct current that is input from a direct-current-side device into an alternating current for power supply. The inverter includes a control apparatus and a communications apparatus. The control apparatus controls the inverter to convert the direct current that is input from the direct-current-side device into an alternating current for power supply. The communications apparatus is coupled to the control apparatus, and sends a networking information request signal used to request networking information to the direct-current-side device in the power generation system through a direct-current power line, where a frequency of the networking information request signal is within a first frequency band. The communications apparatus also receives the networking information from the direct-current-side device; and sends a control signal to the direct-current-side device, where a frequency of the control signal is within a second frequency band.

    摘要: An interface circuit, a string, and a system that are applied to power line communication, to lower device specifications, includes: an inverter, an optimizer group, a capacitor, a magnetic ring, power lines, and a signal line. An optimizer in the optimizer group is configured to adjust a size of a direct current output by a photovoltaic module connected to the optimizer. Two ends of the signal line passing through the magnetic ring are connected to the inverter. Two ends of a power line passing through the magnetic ring are respectively connected to the capacitor and the optimizer group. By using the foregoing interface circuit, a high voltage of a direct current output by the optimizer group is prevented from being introduced into the inverter, thereby reducing a specification requirement of a device such as a capacitor.
