    Abstract: A pulse width modulation method, a pulse width modulation system, and a controller are provided, which change a change rate of a common-mode component of a three-phase converter upon a change of a converter modulation degree, thereby improving stability and harmonic characteristics of the three-phase converter and implementing flexible adaptive adjustment. An example pulse width modulation method includes: obtaining initial three-phase modulation waves and a converter modulation degree; calculating a common-mode-component change-rate adjustment coefficient based on preset modulation parameters and the converter modulation degree; selecting a modulation wave having a minimum absolute value from the modulation wave set as a common-mode modulation wave; and performing waveform superposition on the initial three-phase modulation waves and the common-mode modulation wave to obtain output three-phase modulation waves.

    Abstract: This application provides a solar cell, including a front electrode, a functional layer, and a back electrode. The front electrode is an electrode on a side of an illuminated surface. The front electrode includes a high-conductivity region and a low-conductivity region that are adjacent to each other, or the back electrode includes a high-conductivity region and a low-conductivity region that are adjacent to each other. The front electrode and/or the back electrode may be designed to be separated by region, and conductivity of one conductive region is designed to be higher than conductivity of the other conductive region. This can effectively avoid a film rectangular resistance loss caused by large-scale non-uniform lateral transfer of a photocurrent, and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. In addition, cell comprehensive performance can be improved by flexibly selecting materials based on different requirements of different regions in different application scenarios.

    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.

In the two control manners, a fast and accurate power reserve or limit of a photovoltaic string inverter with any illumination intensity and ambient temperature can be implemented, and fluctuation of a DC bus voltage and AC output power of the photovoltaic string inverter can be eliminated. Control on a virtual synchronous generator of the photovoltaic string inverter is implemented, and a lifespan of the photovoltaic string inverter is prolonged, without a need to add an energy storage element.

    Abstract: A method for processing a direct current electric arc and an apparatus, includes: obtaining a first current which is a direct current input current of a direct current cable of a photovoltaic cell system; obtaining a second current, where the second current is a direct current common mode current of a direct current cable or an alternating current common mode current of an alternating current cable; calculating a correlation coefficient between a frequency domain component of the first current and a frequency domain component of the second current; and when determining that the first current meets an electric arc occurrence condition and the correlation coefficient is greater than or equal to a preset coefficient threshold, skipping sending a direct current electric arc fault alarm. The correlation coefficient is used to reflect a proportion of common mode noise generated by the second current, and the preset coefficient threshold is set.

The phase-shift loop (10) includes a first input end (11), a second input end (12), a third input end (13), a fourth input end (14), a first output end (15), and a second output end (16). The drive circuit (20) includes a first input end (21), a second input end (22), a third input end (23), and an output end (24). The first output end (15) of the phase-shift loop (10) is connected to the first input end (21) of the drive circuit (20), and the second output end (16) of the phase-shift loop (10) is connected to the second input end (22) of the drive circuit (20). In the inverter anti-islanding control system, when an inverter is in an island state, a frequency of an inverter alternating current end voltage is deviated to a second frequency by using the phase-shift loop (10), so that the second frequency triggers frequency protection to disconnect the inverter from an electrical network, to be specific, the inverter is out of the island state.

    Abstract: One example method includes obtaining output powers at initial scanning points of photovoltaic strings in a first group and a second group. The output powers at the initial scan points of the photovoltaic strings in the first group can then be controlled to sequentially decrease, and the output powers at the initial scan points of the photovoltaic strings in the second group can then be controlled to sequentially increase. Scanning can then be performed in the initial scanning direction starting from output voltages corresponding to the output powers at the initial scan points of the first group. Scanning can then be performed in the initial scanning direction starting from output voltages corresponding to the output powers at the initial scan points of the second group, where output powers of the first group and the second group are kept to compensate each other during IV curve scanning.
