Solar inverter efficiency

Solar inverter efficiency
Solar inverter efficiency refers to as the demand for renewable energy, solar inverters (photovoltaic inverters) market is growing. These inverters require extremely high efficiency and reliability. These inverters used in Switch Power Supply circuits were investigated and recommended the best choice for the switch and rectifier parts. The general structure of the photovoltaic inverter shown in Figure 1, there are three different inverter available. Sunlight on the solar modules are connected in series through, each module contains a set of solar cells in series (Solar Cell) unit. Direct current (DC) voltage generated by the solar module in order of several hundred volts, the values according to the number of lighting conditions module array, and the temperature of the battery modules may be connected in series.
The primary function of this type of inverter is the input DC voltage is converted to a stable value. This function is achieved through the boost converter and the boost switch and boost diode needs. In the first configuration, after the boost stage is an isolated full-bridge converter. The role is to provide full-bridge transformer isolation. The second full-bridge converter output is used from the first full-bridge DC converter stage DC into alternating current (AC). Its output is connected to another network before being filtered through the AC power grid additional double contact relay switch

Components of the inverter

Components of the inverter
Component PV inverters are each connected to one inverter module, and each module has a single maximum peak power tracking, so that the components fit better with the inverter. Typically used for 50W to 400W photovoltaic online offline ups stations, the overall efficiency of less than string inverters. Because it is at the parallel exchange, which increases the complexity of the AC side of the connection, maintenance difficulties. Another need to solve is how to be more effective and power grid, the simplest way is to direct and network through an ordinary AC outlet, so that you can reduce installation costs and equipment, but often the safety standards of the country may not allow the grid To do so, the power companies are likely to oppose the power plant and the average home user is directly connected to an ordinary socket. Another relevant factor is whether you need to use and safety isolation transformer (high or low frequency), or allow the use of transformerless inverters. The inverter is the most widely used in glass curtain wall.

Centralized inverters

Centralized inverters
Centralized inverter system is generally used for large-scale photovoltaic power plants (> 10kW), the number of parallel PV strings are connected
To the same central inverter DC industrial ups power supply of the general three-phase IGBT power module, use less power field effect transistor, using DSP switch controller to improve the quality of the output power, making it very close to sinusoidal current. The maximum power of the system is characterized by high and low cost. But the influence of PV string matching and partial shading, resulting in efficiency and power capacity of the entire PV system. At the same time the entire photovoltaic power generation system reliability by poor working conditions of a photovoltaic cell groups affected. The latest research is the use of space vector modulation control, as well as the development of new inverter topology of connections to achieve high efficiency under partial load conditions. On SolarMax (Shohreh Mike) central inverter, you can attach an interface box PV array, photovoltaic panels on each string string monitoring, such as a string which is not working properly, the system will put the information passed to the remote controller, and can be stopped by a bunch of these remote control, so as not to because of the failure of a string of PV strings and impact of the work and reduce the energy output of the entire PV system

Fault Analysis and Maintenance(2)

Fault Analysis and Maintenance
Battery voltage is low, but start charging more than 10 hours of battery charge voltage is still not up.
Failure Analysis: Phenomenon judged from the battery or charging circuit failure, according to the following steps to check:
- Check the charging circuit input and output voltage is normal;
- If the charging circuit input is normal, the output is not normal, disconnect the battery
Then measured, if not normal, compared with the charging circuit fault;
- After disconnecting the battery charging circuit if the input and output are normal, then the battery is not charged due to long-term, over-discharge or other reasons, to the life of the damage.
 inverter online offline ups amplifier transistor pair is damaged, replace the same type of transistor, running for some time because they burn too much current, caused by excessive current reasons:
- Overcurrent failure. When the inverter output overcurrent, the overcurrent protection circuit does not work;
- Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) component failure, the two complementary output waveform asymmetry, a long lead-time, on-time and short the other, so that the work of unbalanced arms, even the arms are turned on simultaneously, resulting in two tube is damaged;
- Power difference between the larger tube parameters, then even if the input waveform symmetry, the output will be asymmetrical, the waveform is output transformer, causing magnetic bias, ie the flux imbalance, leading to the accumulation of down transformer saturation current surge, burn power tube, and a burn, the other also will burn.

Fault Analysis and Maintenance

Fault Analysis and Maintenance
When there is electricity high frequency online ups output is normal, no electricity when the buzzer sounding, no output.
Failure Analysis: From the phenomenon judged as part of the fault and reverse battery device, according to the following procedure to check:
- Check the battery voltage, to see whether the battery charging less, if the battery charging less, will have to check the battery itself is a fault or charging circuit.
- If the battery working voltage is normal, check the inverter drive circuit is working properly, if the driver circuit output is normal, indicating that the inverter is damaged.
- If the inverter drive circuit is not working properly, check the PWM control signal output waveform generator circuit or without, if the control signal output, indicating a fault in the inverter drive circuit.
- If no PWM waveform generation circuit control signal output, check its output is a result of the protection circuit and the blockade, if it is to identify the cause of protection;
- If the protection circuit does not work properly and the operating voltage, and waveform generation circuit without PWM waveform output then the waveform generator circuit damage.
Therefore, the discharge order can be reversed were sometimes able to quickly find faults.
