    摘要: In order to extract maximum power from a solar cell, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control is performed under ordinary circumstances. If the output current of the solar cell becomes too small, the operating point of the solar cell is caused to fluctuate over a range wider than that of MPPT control at a period longer than that of MPPT control and the output voltage and current of the solar cell is sampled. In a case where it is indicated by power values obtained from the sample voltage values and current values that a plurality of maximal points of power value exist, a voltage value corresponding to a power value indicative of the largest value is set as the operating point of the solar cell.

    摘要: Power supplied from a battery power supply to a load through a power conversion unit is maximized with a relatively simple arrangement and a small processing load. In addition, an output command value for controlling the power conversion unit is detected, a set voltage for which the output command value is maximized is calculated with reference to a past or present set voltage, as needed, and set as the next set voltage such that the maximum output is supplied to the load without any erroneous operation in the case of variation in solar radiation. In this case, a plurality of voltages are sequentially set for a relatively short period. Output command values for the respective set voltages are fetched while setting the same voltage at the start and end of the operation. A variation in output command value caused by the fetching difference for the same set voltage is detected. The output command value for calculating the next set voltage is corrected in accordance with this variation.

    摘要: In a power generation system of this invention, the outputs from power generation layers electrically connected in series are input to corresponding power conversion devices, and boosted outputs are connected in parallel and fed to a load. Alternatively, the output from one of power generation layers electrically connected in series is input to a first power conversion device, and the serial output and the boosted output from the first power conversion device are connected in parallel, input to a second power conversion device, boosted, and fed to the load. Since the two power generation layers can be individually output-controlled, each power generation layer can be optimized basically without considering current balance. Since the optical spectrum utilization efficiency increases, the power generation efficiency increases. In addition, since the power can be fed not to separate loads but to one load, the convenience largely increases.

    摘要: In a charging control method and apparatus which can improve the operating efficiency of a power generation system and prolong the service life of an accumulation unit, a short-circuit switch is closed, and a current generated in a solar cell is charged in the accumulation unit in a charging state. With this charging, the terminal voltage of the accumulation unit rises. This voltage is detected by a detection unit and is loaded into a control unit. When the detected voltage rises to a predetermined voltage, the short-circuit switch is closed by a short-circuit control signal. The output current from the solar cell is then discharged to the ground, and charging is stopped. In this state, the control unit determines the connected state of a load from an output signal from the detection unit. When the closed state of the short-circuit switch is determined from an output signal from a detection unit, the control unit switches the short-circuit switch to an open state even if the voltage of the accumulation unit has not reached a charging start voltage. With this switching operation, discharging of an output current from the solar cell to the ground is stopped, and the output current from the solar cell is output to the accumulation unit and the load.
