Technical field
Invention relates to the maximum power point-tracing control method that is applicable to photovoltaic array multimodal power-voltage (P-U) output characteristics under local shade condition, belongs to maximum power point of photovoltaic power generation system tracking.
Background technology
Along with the exhaustion day by day of traditional energy and the awakening of environmental consciousness, the exploitation of sun power come into one's own day by day, and photovoltaic generation is the major way that utilizes sun power.In large Capacity Optical photovoltaic generating system, conventionally the photovoltaic module of some need to be formed to photovoltaic array by connection in series-parallel, for the negative effect that prevents that subassembly product fault or local shade from bringing, in photovoltaic array, also be equiped with bypass diode and reaction diode.The output electric energy of photovoltaic module and solar irradiance, assembly temperature are closely related, and under solar light irradiation uniformly, output power of photovoltaic module presents unimodal phenomenon.Traditional MPPT maximum power point tracking (Maximum Power Point Tracking, MPPT) control method and improving one's methods, for example: open-circuit voltage method, short-circuit current method, disturbance-observation (Perturb & Observe, P & O) method/climbing method, conductance increment method etc., there is good tracking control effect for this unimodal power characteristic.
But the photovoltaic array distribution range in actual light photovoltaic generating system is wider, or in the environment of photovoltaic array in changing, be conventionally difficult to guarantee illumination and the temperature conditions uniformity on every photovoltaic module.For all kinds of inconsistent factors of photovoltaic array output characteristics that cause, be conventionally all referred to as " shade ", such as: cloud, mountain range, buildings, photovoltaic module are towards difference, component faults etc.Due to the existence of shade, the P-U output characteristics of photovoltaic array may present multimodal phenomenon.Now, be subject to the interference of local peaking, traditional MPPT method is often difficult to find global peak, be real photovoltaic array maximum power point (Maximum Power Point, MPP), thereby cause photovoltaic generating system output power significantly to reduce, generating efficiency reduces.Application number is in 201010223784.6 patent application, to propose to adopt timing whole scan to find global maximum power point, and the patent application that application number is 201010018319.9 proposes to adopt respectively finds global maximum power point from left and right sides search.Although above-mentioned whole scan mode can search out real maximum power point, unavoidably can make the output power of photovoltaic array produce unnecessary fluctuating widely for a long time, thereby produce extra power loss and electrical network is produced and impacted.

sccorresponding, and from this point, utilize traditional MPPT method to find the MPP on this mountain peak; Consider that in addition, compared with in small probability situation, this mountain peak is local MPP, therefore, has increased the search step of left and right sides MPP, when the MPP on this mountain peak value is greater than the contiguous MPP value in its left and right sides, think that this mountain peak MPP is overall MPP.In search procedure, the selection of step-size in search and the direction of search has taken into full account photovoltaic array multimodal characteristic, can not only accelerate like this MPPT speed, avoids being stranded in local MPP; And follow the tracks of in control procedure at this, the fluctuating range of photovoltaic generating system output power can obviously not amplified by MPPT method, the excessive power swing of having avoided whole scan method to bring.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is, in the time that the P-U of photovoltaic array characteristic presents multi-peak phenomenon because of illumination condition localized variation or indivedual photovoltaic module failure and other reasons, can accurately trace into the global maximum power point of photovoltaic array, thus the relatively high power loss of avoiding photovoltaic generating system long-time running to cause at local power peaking's point; In maximal power tracing process, can not cause that photovoltaic generating system power produces extra wide fluctuations because of MPPT method simultaneously.

In the present embodiment, adopt 2 kinds of illumination conditions, be respectively shadow-free and have shade, the output I-U characteristic of corresponding photovoltaic array and P-U characteristic are as shown in Figure 2.The signal that photovoltaic array MPPT control method under above-mentioned local shade condition produces can be used as the PWM modulation signal of DC-DC transducer in actual light photovoltaic generating system or inverter, controls the operating point of photovoltaic array.To contrast accompanying drawing 2 below and introduce in detail in the time that local shade occurs, the present invention follows the tracks of the process of global maximum power point.
(1) when shadow-free, the P-U family curve of photovoltaic array presents unimodal value, and maximum power point is at A point.The MPPT strategy according to the present invention, photovoltaic array can stable operation in A point.
(2), in the time that local shade occurs, the P-U family curve of photovoltaic array presents multi-peak phenomenon (have 6 peak values in the present embodiment, wherein global maximum power point is at D point).There is moment in shade, the terminal voltage U of photovoltaic array is by the long disturbance of traditional MPPT method small step, and operating point to putting B, starts MPPT strategy of the present invention by an A saltus step at once.
(3) on the I-U curve of the present invention under shade condition, search and meet U

scc point.Then traditional MPPT method starts to search for the vertex point D on this mountain peak from C point, and in most of situation, D point is exactly overall MPP.
(4) consider some in particular cases, D point may be positioned at overall MPP adjacent domain, therefore further searches for the MPP point of the D point left and right sides---some E and some F.
(5), in the implementation case, some E and MPP value corresponding to some F are all less than the MPP value that a D is corresponding, therefore finally lock D point for the overall MPP under current shade condition.After this photovoltaic array runs on D point, and continues to detect the variation of service condition.
