    Abstract: A shutdown device for a photovoltaic module, an inverter, a rapid shutdown system, and a method for starting the rapid shutdown system are provided. The method is applied to the rapid shutdown system after each shutdown device in the rapid shutdown system initially starts. The shutdown device is switched into a mode of unlimited output in response to its success in initially starting. The shutdown device, in response to its failure to initially start or when being switched off, samples an electrical parameter at its output terminal in real time, determines whether the electrical parameter meets a preset starting condition, and switches itself on and operates in the mode of unlimited output when the electrical parameter already meets the preset starting condition.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a photovoltaic rapid shutdown system, an inverting system, and a photovoltaic rapid shutdown system. In the photovoltaic rapid shutdown system, the inverting system determines whether the photovoltaic rapid shutdown system is to enter a safe mode, introduces fluctuations onto a direct-current bus in the photovoltaic rapid shutdown system in response to the photovoltaic rapid shutdown system being not to enter the safe mode, and otherwise does not introduce the fluctuations onto the direct-current bus. A shutdown device for a photovoltaic module determines according to an output parameter thereof whether an electrical parameter on the direct-current bus connected to the shutdown device meets a preset condition, controls itself to be turned on or maintains itself being on in response to the electrical parameter meeting the preset condition, and otherwise controls itself to be turned off or maintains itself being off.

    Abstract: A module level power electronics (MLPE) photovoltaic system and a method for photovoltaic string control are provided. The method is applied to a control unit in the MLPE photovoltaic system. The control unit detects an output current of each photovoltaic string in the MLPE photovoltaic system, and then controls, for photovoltaic strings connected in parallel to a same inverter in the MLPE photovoltaic system, a voltage of a photovoltaic string with larger output current to be reduced, or controls a voltage of a photovoltaic string with smaller output current to be increased, so that backflow current can be reduced to preset range tolerable for MLPE device. The method is from a perspective of the MLPE photovoltaic system, the backflow current is limited by controlling voltage change of associated photovoltaic string without additional hardware cost, effectively protecting MLPE device in the MLPE photovoltaic system.
