Should be appreciated that the structure of control unit of the present invention is divided or the function division of its control operation is not limited to partition structure shown in Figure 3, but can adjust accordingly according to actual conditions.
Fig. 5 is the control flow chart of the control unit in the photovoltaic array header box of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 5, at first, before carrying out the MPPT tracking, in step S501, the output voltage U of each branch road photovoltaic array of switch controlled unit judges PVWhether less than the specified input voltage U of inverter InIf U PV>=U In(promptly " denying "), then header box is followed the tracks of with regard to not carrying out MPPT, at this moment, enters into step S502, and in step S502, switch controlled unit controls switching tube K1 is in cut-off state, and enters into step S515.If U PV<U In(promptly " being "), then header box will get into the MPPT tracking, at this moment, enter into step S503.
In step S503, the electric current and voltage sampling unit detects the output voltage U of photovoltaic array in each branch road nWith output current I n, then with the output voltage U that detects nWith output current I nSend into multiplier.
Then, in step S504, multiplier obtains current performance number P through carrying out multiplying n=U n* I n, and with P nAnd corresponding U Ref(n) value (as shown in Figure 4) is sent into comparator and the last performance number P that follows the tracks of N-1(memory power) and magnitude of voltage U Ref(n-1) compare, obtain Δ P=P n-P N-1With Δ U=U Ref(n)-U Ref(n-1), comparator is sent Δ P and Δ U into adjuster.
Then, in step S505-S513, the magnitude of voltage of each branch road photovoltaic array is added and subtracted adjusting, to confirm the pairing reference voltage level U of peak power output of each branch road photovoltaic array by adjuster RefSpecifically, at first, in step S505, judge whether Δ P equals 0.If in step S505, judge Δ P=0, then need not to adjust reference voltage level, enter into step S509 this moment, in step S509, still keeps current U Ref(n) value, and enter into step S514.If judge that in step S505 Δ P is not equal to 0, then enter into step S506, in step S506, judge that whether Δ P is greater than 0.If in step S506, judge Δ P>0, then need the magnitude of voltage of each branch road photovoltaic array to be adjusted accordingly according to the value of Δ U.At this moment, judge in step S508 that at first whether Δ U is greater than 0.When Δ U>0, in step S513, increase reference voltage level, make U Ref=U Ref+ Δ U when Δ U<0, reduces reference voltage level in step S512, make U Ref=U Ref-Δ U.If in step S506, judge Δ P≤0, then need the magnitude of voltage of each branch road to be adjusted accordingly according to the value of Δ U.At this moment, judge in step S507 that at first whether Δ U is greater than 0.When Δ U>0, in step S510, reduce reference voltage level, make U Ref=U Ref-Δ U when Δ U<0, increases reference voltage level in step S511, make U Ref=U Ref+ Δ U.
Then, in step S514, adjuster judges whether to find the peak power output point,, judges whether Δ U is less than or equal to 2V that is, and the Δ U here is the U that obtains in any one in step S509-S513 RefWith the U that obtains among the step S504 Ref(n) poor.If, then enter into step S516, otherwise enter into step S515, in step S515, Δ T time stand-by period (for example, waiting for for 3 seconds), get in circulation next time, promptly jump to step S501.Need to wait for that the reason of Δ T time is to need the regular hour because control unit is carried out computing,, carry out next circulation time again and preferably stop several seconds in order to guarantee to calculate accurate operation.That is to say that when Δ U≤2V, then MPPT maximal power tracing loop ends when Δ U>2V, is explained to be much to seek maximum power point, also need continue circulation, satisfy condition up to the magnitude of voltage of Δ U.
In step S516, CVT makes the pairing magnitude of voltage of the peak power output that traces into remain the determined reference voltage level U of adjuster Ref
In step S517, the conducting duty ratio D of switch controlled unit compute switch pipe K1 (the ON time T of switching tube K1 in the one-period ONRatio with the switch periods time T), concrete account form is following:
Determined peak power output is put pairing voltage U RefValue detects the output voltage U of the battery tandem of each branch road photovoltaic array in real time as the output voltage values of BOOST booster circuit PVThen with U PVWith the U that confirms RefValue substitution computes goes out the conducting duty ratio D of switching tube K1:
D=1-U PV/U ref (1)
Then, in step S518, the switch controlled unit sends the ON time that control signal corresponding is come control switch pipe K1 according to the duty ratio D of the switching tube K1 that calculates, at this moment, and the ON time T of switching tube K1 ON=T * D.In this way, promptly controllable switch pipe K1 carries out PWM modulation with high-frequency mode, is the size of the pairing reference voltage level Uref of peak power output up to the magnitude of voltage of each branch road photovoltaic array.
Through above flow process; Can seek the peak power output of each branch road photovoltaic array through repeatedly circulating; The final maximal power tracing of realizing each branch road photovoltaic array so just makes each branch road of input of header box can give the inverter power supply of back level with maximum power all the time.In carrying out the maximal power tracing process; The cell panel of each branch road photovoltaic array (particularly; The battery tandem) peak power output is uncertain, and it is through the maximal power tracing process, just can determine the cell panel Maximum Power Output at last and put pairing reference voltage level; By booster circuit the output voltage of cell panel is boosted to the pairing magnitude of voltage of the determined maximum power point of MPPT then, think that promptly the power output of cell panel this moment reaches maximum.
More than as an example the present invention has been carried out exemplary illustration with the BOOST booster circuit.But; Should be appreciated that; The present invention also can adopt the booster circuit of other type or structure, according to above control principle the booster circuit that is adopted is controlled then, till the output voltage of this booster circuit is the pairing reference voltage level of peak power output of each branch road photovoltaic array.In addition, the control method of the peak power output of each branch road photovoltaic array is not limited to plus-minus control method shown in Figure 5, also can adopt other alternative manner or searching method to obtain the peak power output of each branch road photovoltaic array.
Below with reference to accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention is described in detail, still, should be appreciated that, the present invention is not limited to above disclosed exemplary embodiment.Should give claim to explain the most widely, to contain all modification, equivalent structure and the function of disclosed exemplary embodiment.
