    摘要: An electronics power system includes a plurality of substantially identical power electronic modules. Each power electronic module includes a single-phase DC/AC inverter having an output side. Each power electronic module further includes a medium/high-frequency-isolated DC/DC current-to-voltage converter having an input side. The medium/high-frequency-isolated DC/DC current-to-voltage converter drives the single-phase DC/AC inverter. Each DC/DC converter and its corresponding DC/AC inverter are connected back-to-back sharing a common DC-link. The plurality of power electronics modules is stacked together in series at the input side and in parallel or series/parallel at the output side.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for enabling a PV inverter to be connected to a string of series connected PV modules without exposing the inverter to elevated voltage stresses. The input voltage to the inverter is gradually built up by sequentially switching in more series PV modules. This system and method are simple to implement in both centralized and distributed PV power plants and in either case, it significantly increases the utilization of the PV inverter. The input switching elements can be implemented using a wide variety of parts including electro-mechanical switches, semiconductor switches (IGBTs, MOSFETs . . . , etc.) as well as MEMS devices depending on the current level and target cost. A mix of switches can also be used to assist in minimizing impedance of the final switching stage that remains connected during normal operation.

    摘要: A power generation system configured to provide direct current (DC) power to a DC link is described. The system includes a first power generation unit configured to output DC power. The system also includes a first DC to DC converter comprising an input section and an output section. The output section of the first DC to DC converter is coupled in series with the first power generation unit. The first DC to DC converter is configured to process a first portion of the DC power output by the first power generation unit and to provide an unprocessed second portion of the DC power output of the first power generation unit to the output section.
