摘要: A two-stage converter, a method for starting the two-stage converter, an LLC converter, and an application system are provided. A controller of the LLC converter of the two-stage converter first controls a main circuit of the LLC converter to perform hiccup charging on a direct current bus of a later-stage converter at a preset interval, so that the direct current bus voltage of the later-stage converter gradually increases, until an auxiliary power supply of the later-stage converter starts to operate, to supply power to the controller of the later-stage converter. After the controller of the later-stage converter reports the detected direct current bus voltage, the controller of the LLC converter determines whether the output voltage of the LLC converter increases to a hiccup starting voltage. If so, the controller of the LLC converter controls the main circuit to operate in a hiccup voltage stabilization phase.

摘要: A photovoltaic system, a method for locating devices in a photovoltaic string, a MLPE apparatus, and a method for ranking MLPE apparatuses. Each MLPE apparatus sends, actively according to a predetermine rule, an initial message to the other MLPE apparatuses. The initial message includes a serial number corresponding to said MLPE apparatus and an accumulated operation duration of said MLPE apparatus. The MLPE apparatuses determine the rank of the accumulated operation duration of each MLPE apparatus according to the initial messages sent from all MLPE apparatuses. After each MLPE apparatus communicates with a communication host, the MLPE apparatuses reports the rank of the accumulated operation duration of each MLPE apparatus to the communication host. Thereby, the communication host may determine a physical location of each device in the photovoltaic string according to the ranks of the accumulated operation durations and a sequence of installing positions of the devices in the photovoltaic string.

摘要: A control apparatus and a combiner box are provided. In a case that component maintenance needs to be performed, an optimizer connected to the combiner box is controlled to operate in a safe mode, and a switch-off signal is outputted to disconnect the combiner box from an inverter if an output current of the combiner box is smaller than a threshold. In a case that the maintenance is completed, the optimizer connected to the combiner box is controlled to operate in a maximum power point tracking mode, and the combiner box is connected to the inverter if an input voltage of the combiner box is greater than an output voltage of the combiner box, that is, if an output voltage of a corresponding string increases gradually to a value exceeding a direct current bus voltage.
