    摘要: A grid-tied power supply system includes a controller and at least two inverters. One inverter is coupled to a plurality of power supply modules. The controller is configured to determine a power parameter. The inverter receives a power control packet through a communication transmission medium, determines target power based on the power parameter carried in the power control packet, and determines, based on the power control packet and/or the communication transmission medium, a target adjustment manner corresponding to the power control packet from at least two adjustment manners. The inverter further adjusts, to the target power in the target adjustment manner, power to be output by the inverter to an alternating-current (AC) power grid. The inverter can directly adjust power to be output by the grid-tied power supply system to the alternating-current power grid.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.
