Advanced digital isolation technology to improve the reliability of solar inverters

One hundred years of power generation facilities have proven to be stable and reliable source of energy , but these facilities are large and complex , and rising construction costs . Meanwhile, with minimal carbon emissions and environmental impact criteria to run these facilities are also facing great challenges and cost pressures. In contrast , modern photovoltaic (PV) power plant power system as a reasonable alternative , it can provide a lower cost of long-term operation , modular, scalable , efficient , and carbon emissions lower than a centralized power generation facilities lot .

Photovoltaic power generation system consists of several components, such as the conversion of light energy into electrical energy photovoltaic panels , mechanical, electrical connectors, accessories, as well as the solar-generated electricity to the grid essential to the process of solar inverters .

What is a solar PV inverter ? Photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into direct current , and in order to minimize line losses , and the more long-distance power transmission , must be converted into a DC high voltage alternating current. Solar PV inverter can achieve the above DC to AC conversion, photovoltaic systems of all the most critical part. However , this is only the PV inverter is one of the key features .

PV inverter disconnects from the grid also has the ability to prevent PV system is not connected to the public service system to provide power ; That is, if the grid is disconnected during the online status of the inverter to maintain , or to unreliable connections providing power, photovoltaic power generation system can cause feeding local public service system transformers and wires in the public service system to generate thousands of volts , will endanger the public service equipment operation safety of workers .

IEEE1547 and UL1741 safety standards regulations: When AC voltage or frequency exceeds the specification limit, the grid-connected inverter must be disconnected , or when the grid no longer exists, must be completely closed. When you reconnect , the inverter can not immediately transmit power , you need to wait until the inverter detects a nominal system voltage and frequency of the public service more than five minutes . Of course , not only that the inverter duty .

The inverter output power is also used to compensate for effects of environmental factors. For example , the PV panel output voltage and current for the battery temperature and the light intensity per unit area ( also known as " light " ) is highly sensitive to changes . The output voltage of the battery and the battery temperature is inversely related to the cell current is proportional to the light intensity . These and other changes in key parameters result in optimal inverter voltage / current operating point moves significantly .


Drive by using the so-called closed-loop control to maintain a maximum power point (MPP) to solve the above problem, because at this point the product of the voltage and the current maximum . In addition , the dc to ac inverter also supports manual and automatic service operations in the input / output disconnect , electromagnetic interference / radio frequency interference (EMI / RFI) conduction and radiation suppression , ground fault interrupt , PC compatible communication interface and more . Inverter is housed in a rugged box that can run in the outdoor full power for 25 years or more. It was no small feat !
