    Abstract: An input end of each DC-DC conversion circuit in the photovoltaic system is connected to a corresponding photovoltaic string. Output ends of a plurality of DC-DC conversion circuits are connected in parallel to an input end of a DC-AC conversion circuit. A controller performs a partial IV curve scan on each of the DC-DC conversion circuits, and in a scanning process, controls a total input power of the plurality of DC-DC conversion circuits to be consistent with that existing before the scan; and obtains a sum of the maximum input powers of all the DC-DC conversion circuits based on the maximum input power of each of the DC-DC conversion circuits, where a scanned voltage of the partial IV curve scan is less than an open-circuit voltage. The partial IV curve improves scanning efficiency and obtains a maximum input power in a power-limited state, facilitating subsequent power dispatch and control.

    Abstract: A string inverter control method includes: in a process of performing IV curve scanning on one or more first direct current/direct current step-up circuits, controlling a change of an output voltage of one or more second direct current/direct current step-up circuits on which the IV curve scanning does not need to be performed, where a change trend of the output voltage and a change trend of an input voltage of the one or more first direct current/direct current step-up circuits on which the IV curve scanning is performed present a non-strictly monotonically increasing relationship. Therefore, for the direct current/direct current step-up circuit on which the IV curve scanning is performed, a voltage difference between two ends of the direct current/direct current step-up circuit is not always in a relatively high state, so that a ripple current on an input inductor in the direct current/direct current step-up circuit can be reduced.

    Abstract: An islanding detection method and apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium. The detection method includes: determining a harmonic amplitude growth rate and a frequency growth rate of alternating current electricity output by an alternating current port of a grid-tied inverter; determining an islanding disturbance coefficient corresponding to the harmonic amplitude growth rate, where the harmonic amplitude growth rate and the islanding disturbance coefficient are in a monotonically increasing relationship; determining an islanding injection amount based on the frequency growth rate and the islanding disturbance coefficient corresponding to the harmonic amplitude growth rate; controlling, based on the islanding injection amount, the grid-tied inverter to output a reactive power or a reactive current over the alternating current port; and performing islanding detection based on a frequency of the alternating current electricity output by the alternating current port. With this detection method, whether islanding occurs can be accurately detected. When islanding does not occur, disturbance to a power grid is reduced, and grid connection stability is improved. When islanding occurs, it can be quickly detected, and a detection time is relatively short.
