    摘要: Provided is a maximum power point (MPP) tracker for a PV cell inverter, and a PV cell inverter. The MPP tracker decouples output power oscillations from the input power generation and extracts maximum available power from the PV cell. The PV cell inverter uses the MPP tracker and generates a sinusoidal output current from the MPP tracker output. The sinusoidal output current may be fed to a power distribution grid. The PV cell inverter may use a pulse width modulation technique to cancel harmonics in the sinusoidal output current. The circuits use a minimum number of components and avoid use of large electrolytic capacitors.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for use with active/reactive power control in power conditioning systems. To provide quick active/reactive power control by way of a grid-connected inverter, an estimator estimates the P and Q coefficients based on an instantaneous power from the grid-connected inverter. The estimator receives grid current and voltage and estimates of the P and Q coefficients are used with reference P and Q values to determine whether active or reactive power needs to be injected to the grid. The P coefficient is a DC offset of the instantaneous power of the grid and the Q coefficient is the coefficient of a sine component of the instantaneous power.
