Description

一种短路保护装置、短路保护方法及光伏发电系统 技术领域
本申请涉及光伏发电技术领域，尤其涉及一种短路保护装置、短路保护方法及光伏发电系统。
背景技术
光伏发电是利用半导体界面的光生伏特效应，将光能转变为电能的一种技术。光伏发电系统通常可以包括光伏单元、逆变器、交流配电设备等。其中，为了获得较高的输出电压或输出电流，光伏单元通常由多个光伏组件通过一定的串并联方式形成。为了提高光伏发电系统的发电效率，光伏单元会连接具有独立MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking，最大功率点跟踪)功能的器件以提高光伏发电系统的发电效率。
目前，为了提升光伏发电系统的直流配比(光伏单元的功率与逆变器的输入功率的比值)，通常每路MPPT器件连接至少两路光伏单元。以一路光伏单元出现短路或者光伏单元所在线路出现短路为例，此时短路电流为连接的其它路的光伏单元的输出电流之和，当连接的其它路的光伏单元数量仅为1时，由于短路电流较小，光伏单元和线路可以耐受此短路电流。但是当连接的其它路的光伏单元的数量为2或者更多时，短路电流较大，为了保护光伏单元和线路，可以在光伏单元的正输出端和/或负输出端串联熔断器，通过使熔断器熔断以保护光伏单元和线路。
但是，由于熔断器的熔断电流一般较高，而每路光伏单元的输出电流较低，因此多路光伏单元的短路电流之和难以达到熔断器熔断电流，导致熔断器并不能有效的保护光伏单元和线路，并且熔断器的内阻较大，还会导致光伏发电系统存在较大的功率损耗。

这是因为当无短路故障时，所有光伏单元的输出电流汇入直流母线，直流母线的电流绝对值大于任意支路的电流的绝对值。当存在一个光伏单元出现短路故障时，其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流会流向该短路的光伏单元，此时直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值。

这是因为当光伏单元出现短路故障时，其它所有正常的光伏单元所在支路的电流流入该故障光伏单元所在支路，导致此时故障光伏单元所在支路的电流检测方向与正常时的预设方向相反；而当该光伏单元所在支路正常，其它支路中存在短路故障时，光伏单元所在支路向出现短路故障的支路输出电流，此时其它支路中存在电流检测方向与预设电流方向相反。

第三方面，本申请还提供了一种光伏发电系统，包括至少两个光伏单元和以上任意一种实现方式所述的短路保护装置，所述光伏单元为至少一个光伏组件通过串并联形成。
该光伏发电系统的短路保护装置控制器能够当存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值时控制所述保护开关断开，进而保护了光伏系统中的光伏单元和线路，并且由于只在电路中增加了保护开关，相较于熔断器电阻小，因此还降低了光伏系统的损率损耗。

具体实施方式
为了提升光伏发电系统的直流配比，通常每路MPPT器件连接至少两路光伏单元或者更多，并且为了在光伏单元出现短路或者线路出现短路时保护光伏单元和线路，在光伏单元的正输出端和/或负输出端串联熔断器(或称熔丝)。下面以每路MPPT器件连接三条支路为例进行说明。当每路MPPT器件连接更多条支路时的原理类似，本申请在此不再赘述。
一并参见图1至图3。其中，图1为光伏单元的正输出端和负输出端均串联熔断器时的示意图；图2为光伏单元的正输出端串联熔断器时的示意图；图3为光伏单元的负输出端串联熔断器时的示意图。
每路支路包括一个光伏组件101，三条支路在开关102前完成并联，然后通过直流开关102连接MPPT器件103。图1中的fuse1-fuse6、图2中的fuse1-fuse3以及图3中的fuse1-fuse3为熔断器，在线路中的电流过大时熔断以保护光伏组件和线路。
但是由于光伏单元的实际输出电流较小，因而使得熔断器难以熔断。以额定电流为15A的熔断器为例，基于熔断器的标准规定，熔断器不熔断时允许的电流可以达1.13×15＝16.95A，在一小时内熔断需要的电流为1.35×15＝20.25A，而短路电流难以满足熔断器熔断所需电流，因此熔断器可能不会熔断，导致并不能有效的保护光伏单元和线路。此外，每个熔断器的内阻可达9毫欧姆，因此存在较大的功率损耗与发热问题。在一些实施例中，由于需要考虑对电缆的保护，还需要将内置熔断器的Y线束设置在装置的下部，进而还导致了电缆成本上升。
为了解决上述技术问题，本申请提供了一种短路保护装置、短路保护方法及光伏发电系统，能够在光伏单元出现短路或者线路出现短路时有效保护光伏单元和线路，并且功率损耗低，下面结合附图具体说明。
以下说明中“第一”、“第二”等用语仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此，限定有“第一”、“第二”等的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。
为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本发明方案，下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚地描述。
装置实施例一：
以下实施例中的单个光伏单元可以包括一个光伏组件，还可以由多个光伏组件串并联形成，例如多个光伏组件先串联在一起形成光伏组串，多个光伏组串再并联在一起形成光伏单元。本申请实施例不具体限定光伏单元包括的光伏组件的具体数量，本领域技术人员可以根据实际需要来设置，而且本申请实施例中对单个光伏组件的电参数不做具体限定。连接同一个装置的多个光伏单元的输出电压可以相同，也可以不同，本申请实施例不作具体限定。
本申请实施例提供的短路保护装置应用于光伏发电系统，能够通过接口接入至少两个光伏单元，光伏单元通过接口接入后，能够在该装置的内部直接并联连接直流母线，或与保护开关串联后再并联连接直流母线，以将光伏单元的输出电流汇集于直流母线，进而在该装置内部形成至少两个支路，每个支路至少连接有一个光伏单元，下面首先具体说明支路的存在形式。
参见图4，该图为本申请实施例提供的一种支路的示意图。
其中，该支路包括一个光伏单元101a1，光伏单元101a1的正输出端为该支路的正输出端，光伏单元101a1的负输出端为该支路的负输出端，以下实施例的说明中不再区分。
参见图5，该图为本申请实施例提供的另一种支路的示意图。
其中，该支路可以包括多条图4所示的支路，因此包括了至少两个光伏单元，例如依次为101a1、101a2、…101ai。在一些实施例中，当支路中包括多个光伏单元时，支路中还可以包括保护开关(图中未示出)以实现对光伏单元和线路的保护。
可以理解的时，本申请实施例中的支路是电学领域的概念，指并联电路的分支电流流过的路线，继续以图5为例，则光伏单元101a1所在的线路可以称为一个支路，光伏单元101a1和光伏单元101a1并联后形成的线路也可以称为一个支路。
各光伏单元的正输出端汇集后为该支路的正输出端，各光伏单元的负输出端汇集后为该支路的负输出端。
以下实施例中的“支路”具体指所有图4所示的支路以及图5所示的支路的总称。即除去干路(直流母线)外其余所有支路的总称。
下面结合附图具体说明该短路保护装置的工作原理。
参见图6，该图为本申请实施例提供的一种短路保护装置的示意图。
该短路保护装置200包括接口、保护开关S 1-S M-1、直流母线和控制器(图中未示出)。
该装置200可以通过接口连接至少两个光伏单元，本申请对接入的光伏单元的数量不作具体限定。
该短路保护装置应用于光伏发电系统时，直流母线具体包括正直流母线和负直流母线。
其中，保护开关S 1-S M-1，用于在断开时使至多三个光伏单元在所述装置内部直接并联连接直流母线。
例如，当单个光伏单元出现短路故障时，该故障的光伏单元可以承受1个其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流时，则保护开关S 1-S M-1在断开时使至多2个光伏单元在装置内部直接并联，此时图中的i和j的取值为2。
又例如，当单个光伏单元出现短路故障时，该故障的光伏单元可以承受2个其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流时，则保护开关S 1-S M-1在断开时使至多3个光伏单元在装置内部直接并联，此时图中的i和j的取值为3。
i和j的具体由实际的光伏单元的电流耐受值确定，本申请实施例在此不作具体限定。需要注意的是，图6中所示仅为便于作图以及说明，图中的i个光伏单元实际上在短路保护装置内部实现并联。
为了方便说明，以下以i和j的取值为2为例进行说明，在另一些实施例中，当i和 j的取值为3时的原理类似，本申请在此不再赘述。
下面说明控制器实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，所有支路的电流汇入直流母线，因此直流母线的电流绝对值大于任意支路的电流的绝对值，电流的方向为由光伏单元的正极流向正直流母线。而当任意支路出现短路故障时，其它所有的正常支路的输出电流会流向该出现短路故障的支路，此时导致直流母线的电压降低，并且存在支路的电流方向变化为流向该出现短路故障的支路，即存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值。其中第一电流值可以根据实际情况确定，本申请实施例不作具体限定，优选的，为了能够尽早发现短路故障并触发保护开关的保护动作，该第一电流值可以为较小的值，例如为0，即当存在支路出现反向电流时，控制器控制保护开关断开。
此时控制器确定存在光伏单元或线路出现短路故障，控制保护开关断开以实现对于光伏单元和线路的保护。
在一些实施例中，该短路保护装置200还包括功率电路201，功率电路用于进行功率变换，该功率电路可以为直流-直流(DC-DC)变换电路或直流-交流(DC-AC)变换电路。
当功率电路201为直流-直流变换电路时，该直流-直流变换电路具体可以为升压(Boost)电路、降压(Buck)电路或升降压(Buck-Boost)电路，此时该短路保护装置可以作为光伏发电系统的直流汇流箱，本申请对此不作具体限定。
当功率电路201为直流-交流电路时，该直流-交流电路用于将直流电变换为交流电进行输出，此时该短路保护装置可以作为光伏发电系统的逆变器。
在另一些实施例中，该短路保护装置也可以作为独立的装置设置于光伏发电系统的直流汇流箱或者逆变器的输入端。
综上所述，本申请实施例提供的短路保护装置可以通过接口接入多个光伏单元，该装置的保护开关在断开时使至多三个光伏单元在所述装置内部直接并联，以保护光伏组件和线路不会损坏，具体的光伏单元和保护开关的连接方式可以根据实际需求进行配置。该装置的控制器能够当存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值时控制保护开关断开，进而保护了光伏系统中的光伏单元和线路，并且由于只在电路中增加了保护开关，相较于熔断器电阻小，因此还降低了光伏系统的损率损耗。此外，由于不再使用熔断器，原先用于内置熔断器的Y线束不需再设置于光伏发电系统的逆变器或者直流汇流箱的下部，而可以配置在光伏单元侧，从而还降低了电缆成本。
在一些实施例中，控制器具体当存在支路的电流的绝对值大于直流母线的电流的绝对值时，或者当存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值时，确定存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值，控制保护开关断开，下面结合具体的实现方式说明控制器的工作原理。
装置实施例二：
下面首先以该短路保护装置连接两路光伏单元为例进行说明。
参见图7，该图为本申请实施例提供的另一种短路保护装置的示意图。
该短路保护装置200通过接口接入两个光伏单元101a1和101a2。
两个光伏单元在该短路保护装置200内并联后通过直流开关102连接功率电路201，直流开关102用于保护电路，在一些实施例中也可以取消设置而短接。
其中，至少一个光伏单元还串联有保护开关S1。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流绝对值大小实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，两个光伏单元的电流汇入直流母线，直流母线的电流绝对值(检测点A或检测点B的检测电流的绝对值)大于任意支路的电流的绝对值(检测点C或检测点D的检测电流的绝对值)。
当存在一个光伏单元出现短路故障时，另一个正常的光伏单元的输出电流会流向该短路的光伏单元，此时直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值。
控制器当存在支路的电流的绝对值大于直流母线的电流的绝对值时，控制保护开关S1断开。
具体的，当光伏单元101a1所在支路出现短路故障时，保护开关S1断开使得光伏单元101a2停止输出电流，进而保护了光伏单元和线路；当光伏单元101a2所在支路出现短路故障时，保护开关S1断开使得短路的支路断路，光伏单元101a1可以继续向装置200输出电流，维持正常工作状态。
在一些实施例中，可以通过电流传感器实现检测电流的大小与方向，电流传感器将检测结果发送给装置200的控制器。
以上实现方式可以通过第一电流传感器检测A点或B点的电流的绝对值，通过第二电流传感器检测C点或D点的电流的绝对值实现。
在一些实施例中，保护开关S1可以与光伏单元102a2的正输出端串联，也可以与光伏单元102a2的负输出端串联，还可以在光伏单元102a2的正输出端和负输出端均串联一个光伏单元以实现冗余控制，本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流方向实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，可以将检测点C和检测点D的电流方向设定为预设方向，例如可以设定为正方向。
当光伏单元101a1所在支路出现短路故障时，此时光伏单元101a2的输出电流流入光伏单元101a1所在支路，导致检测点C的电流方向与预设电流方向相反，为负方向，此时控制器控制保护开关S1断开使得光伏单元101a2停止输出电流，进而保护了光伏单元和线路；而当光伏单元101a2所在支路出现短路故障时，此时光伏单元101a1的输出电流流入光伏单元101a2所在支路，导致检测点D的电流方向与预设电流方向相反，此时控制器控制保护开关S1断开使得短路的支路断路，而光伏单元101a1可以继续正常向短路保护装置200输出电流。
该方式可以通过第三电流传感器检测C点的电流方向，并通过第四电流传感器检测D点的电流方向实现。
以上实施例中的检测点C和检测点D也可以位于对应的光伏单元的负输出端侧，或一个位于光伏单元的正输出端侧，另一个位于光伏单元的负输出端侧，此时控制器 的工作原理类似，在此不再赘述。
综上所述，当短路保护装置通过接口连接两路光伏单元时，其控制器能够当存在支路电流的绝对值大于直流母线的电流的绝对值时，或存在支路电流方向与预设电流方向相反时，控制保护开关断开以使任意支路的电流小于第一电流值，进而保护了光伏单元和线路，并且由于只在电路中增加了保护开关，相较于熔断器电阻小(在一些实施例中，应用的保护开关的内阻仅0.3毫欧姆左右，小于熔断器的内阻)，因此还降低了损率损耗。此外，还可以将Y端子配置在光伏单元侧，从而降低了电缆成本。
以上实施例以该短路保护装置接入两路光伏单元为例说明，但目前为了提升光伏发电系统的直流配比，通常短路保护装置会对应连接3路、4路…甚至更多路光伏单元，下面首先说明每路装置对应连接3路光伏单元时的工作原理。
装置实施例三：
参见图8，该图为本申请实施例提供的又一种短路保护装置的示意图。
三个光伏单元的正输出端在短路保护装置内部并联后通过直流开关102连接功率电路201，直流开关102用于保护电路，实际应用中也可以取消设置而短接。
光伏单元101a1串联保护开关S1后并联连接直流母线，光伏单元101a3串联保护开关S2后并联连接直流母线。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流绝对值大小实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，三个光伏单元的输出电流汇入直流母线，因此直流母线的电流绝对值(检测点A或检测点B的检测电流的绝对值)大于任意支路的电流的绝对值(检测点C、检测点D和检测点E的检测电流的绝对值)。
当存在一个光伏单元出现短路故障时，其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流会流向出现短路故障的光伏单元，此时导致直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值。
短路保护装置的控制器当直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值时，控制保护开关S1和S2断开以使流入短路支路的电流为零，进而保护了光伏单元与线路。
该实现方式可以通过第一电流传感器检测直流母线(即检测点A或B)电流的绝对值，第二电流传感器检测任意支路(即检测点C、D或E)的电流的绝对值实现。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流方向实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，可以将C点、D点和E点的电流方向设定为预设电流方向，例如设定为正方向。
当存在光伏单元出现短路故障时，此时其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流会流向该出现短路故障的光伏单元，导致该出现短路故障的光伏单元中的电流方向与预设方向相反，此时控制器控制所述保护开关S1和S2断开以使流入短路支路的电流为零，进而保护了光伏单元与线路。
该方式可以通过三个电流传感器分别检测三个第一类光伏单元支路的电流方向实现。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，为了减少使用的电流传感器的数量，还可以通过检测G点和F点的电流方向确定是否存在短路故障，当光伏单元101a1和101a3所在的 支路存在短路故障时，H点的电流检测方向会与预设电流方向相反，当光伏单元101a2所在的支路存在短路故障时，G点的电流检测方向会与预设电流方向相反。控制器可以当H点和G点中存在电流检测方向与预设电流方向相反时，控制保护开关断开以保护光伏单元和线路。
该方式可以通过第三电流传感器检测G点的电流方向，通过第四电流传感器检测H点的电流方向实现，相较于前一种实现方式能够减少使用的电流传感器的数量。
在一些实施例中，保护开关S1或保护开关S2也可以取消设置而短接，此时控制器控制保护开关断开后可以使流进短路故障的支路的电流小于第一电流值。
综上所述，当该短路保护装置通过接口连接3路光伏单元时，控制器能够当存在光伏单元的电流的绝对值大于直流母线电流的绝对值时，或存在支路的电流方向与预设电流方向相反时，控制保护开关断开以使任意支路的电流小于第一电流值，进而保护了光伏单元和线路，并且由于只在电路中增加了保护开关，相较于熔断器电阻小，因此还降低了损率损耗。此外，还可以将Y端子配置在光伏单元侧，从而降低了电缆成本。
装置实施例四：
参见图9，该图为本申请实施例提供的再一种短路保护装置的示意图。
其中，光伏单元101a1和101a2在所述短路保护装置的内部直接并联后连接直流母线，光伏单元101a3与保护开关S1串联后再并联接入装置的直流母线。
直流开关102用于保护电路，在一些实施例中也可以取消设置而短接。其中，以保护开关S1串联在光伏单元101a3的负极为例说明。在一些实施例中，保护开关S1也可以串联在光伏单元101a3的正极。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流绝对值大小实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，各个支路的电流汇入直流母线，因此直流母线的电流绝对值(检测点A或检测点B的检测电流的绝对值)大于任意支路的电流的绝对值(检测点C、D、E和F的检测电流的绝对值)。
当存在支路出现短路故障时，正常的支路的输出电流会流向该出现短路故障的支路，此时导致直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值。
因此，短路保护装置的控制器当存在支路的电流的绝对值大于直流母线的电流的绝对值时，控制保护开关S1断开。具体的，当光伏单元101a3所在的支路出现短路故障时，保护开关S1断开能够使得流入故障支路电流为零，并使得光伏单元101a1和101a2还能够正常输出电流；当光伏单元101a1和101a2所在支路出现短路故障时，保护开关S1断开能够使光伏单元101a3所在的支路停止向故障支路输出电流，进而保护了光伏单元与线路。
该实现方式可以通过第一电流传感器检测直流母线(检测点A或检测点B)的电流的绝对值，第二电流传感器检测任意支路(检测点C、D、E或F中任意一处)的电流的绝对值实现，即需要两个电流传感器。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流方向实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，可以将检测点E和F的电流方向设定为预设方向，例如设定为正方 向。
当光伏单元101a3所在的支路出现短路故障时，检测点E的电流方向会与预设电流方向相反；当光伏单元101a1和101a2所在支路出现短路故障时，检测点F的电流方向会与预设电流方向相反。
因此该实现方式可以通过两个电流传感器分别检测E点和F点的电流方向实现，当检测的电流方向中存在与预设电流方向相反的检测结果时，控制器控制保护开关S1断开以保护光伏单元与线路。
参见图10，该图为本申请实施例提供的另一种短路保护装置的示意图。
图10所示短路保护装置与图9的区别在于，保护开关S1串联在光伏单元101a1和101a2的负输出端(也可以串联在光伏单元101a1和101a2的正输出端)。此时控制器的工作原理与以上说明类似，本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
以上实施例中所述的检测点C、D和E也可以位于对应的光伏单元的负输出端侧。
综上所述，当该短路保护装置通过接口连接3路光伏单元时，其控制器能够当存在任意支路的电流的绝对值大于直流母线的电流的绝对值时，或存在任意支路的电流方向与预设电流方向相反时，控制保护开关断开以保护光伏单元和线路，并且由于只在电路中增加了保护开关，相较于熔断器电阻小，因此还降低了损率损耗。此外，还可以将Y端子配置在光伏单元侧，从而降低了电缆成本。
以上实施例以每路装置的输入端包括3路光伏单元为例说明，下面说明每路装置对应连接4路光伏单元时的工作原理。

其中，4个光伏单元的正输出端在所述短路保护装置内部汇集于正直流母线的保护开关S1，每个第一类光伏单元支路的负输出端在短路保护装置内部均串联一个保护开关后汇集于负直流母线。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流绝对值大小实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，四个光伏单元的电流汇入直流母线，因此直流母线的电流绝对值(检测点A或B的检测电流的绝对值)大于任意支路的电流的绝对值(检测C点、D、E和F的检测电流的绝对值)。
当存在一个光伏单元出现短路故障时，其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流会流向该出现短路故障的光伏单元，此时导致直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值，控制器控制保护开关断开以使的入短路支路的电流为0。
该实现方式可以通过第一电流传感器检测直流母线A和B点处的电流的绝对值，第二电流传感器检测任意第一类光伏单元支路(检测点C、D、E或F中的任意一点)的电流的绝对值实现。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流方向实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，可以将C点、D点、E点和F点的电流方向设定为预设方向，例如 设定为正方向。
当存在光伏单元出现短路故障时，此时其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流会流向该短路的光伏单元，导致该短路的光伏单元所在支路中的电流方向与预设方向相反，此时控制器控制保护开关断开以使流入该故障支路的电流为零，进而保护了光伏单元与线路。
该实现方式可以通过四个电流传感器分别检测四个第一类光伏单元支路的电流方向实现。
在另一种可能的实现方式中，为了减少使用的电流传感器的数量，还可以通过检测G点和F点的电流方向确定是否存在短路故障。
当无短路故障时，可以将G点和H点的电流方向设定为预设方向，例如设定为正方向
当光伏单元101a1、101a3和101a4所在的支路存在短路故障时，H点的电流检测方向会与预设电流方向相反，当光伏单元101a2所在的支路存在短路故障时，G点的电流检测方向会与预设方向相反。
该方式可以通过两个电流传感器分别检测G点和H点的电流方向实现。
其中，在一些实施例中，保护开关S1、S2和S3也可以取消设置而短接，此时控制器控制保护开关断开可以使得流入短路支路的电流小于第一电流值以保护光伏单元和线路。
参见图12，该图为本申请实施例提供的再一种短路保护装置的示意图。
图12为另一种可能的实现方式，与图11所示方式的区别在于：光伏单元101a1的正输出端与光伏单元101a2的正输出端汇集于保护开关S1，并通过保护开关S1连接正直流母线；光伏单元101a3的正输出端与光伏单元101a4的正输出端汇集于保护开关S6，并通过保护开关S6连接正直流母线。
此时控制器可以采用图11所对应的工作原理，本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
参见图13，该图为本申请实施例提供的另一种短路保护装置的示意图。
图13为另一种可能的实现方式，与图11所示方式的区别在于：每个光伏单元的正输出端串联一个保护开关后汇集于正直流母线，每个光伏单元的负输出端串联一个保护开关后汇集于负直流母线。冗余设置保护开关能够进一步提升安全性，确保光伏单元所在支路能够被断开。
此时控制器可以采用图11所对应的工作原理，本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
可以理解的是，以上实施例中所述的检测点C、D、E和F也可以位于对应的光伏单元的负输出端侧。
综上所述，当该短路保护装置通过接口连接4路光伏单元时，其控制器能够在存在支路电流的绝对值大于直流母线的电流的绝对值时，或存在光伏单元的电流方向与预设电流方向相反时，控制保护开关断开以使任意支路的电流小于第一电流值，进而保护了光伏单元和线路，并且由于只在电路中增加了保护开关，相较于熔断器电阻小，因此还降低了损率损耗。此外，还可以将Y端子配置在光伏单元侧，从而降低了电缆成本。

当存在支路出现短路故障时，正常的支路的输出电流会流向该短路的支路，此时导致直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值。
因此，装置的控制器当存在支路的电流的绝对值大于直流母线的电流的绝对值时，控制保护开关S1-S4断开，使得流入故障支路的电流为零，进而保护光伏单元和线路。
该实现方式可以通过第一电流传感器检测直流母线A点或B点电流的绝对值，第二电流传感器检测C、D、E、F、G或H中任意一处的电流的绝对值实现。

当光伏单元101a3和101a4所在的支路出现短路故障时，H点的电流方向会与预设方向相反；当光伏单元101a1和101a2所在支路中存在短路故障时，G点的电流方向会与预设方向相反，因此控制器可以当H点和G点中的任意一点的电流检测方向与预设电流方向相反时，确定存在短路故障并控制保护开关S1-S4断开，使得流入故障支路的电流为零，进而保护光伏单元和线路。
该实现方式可以通过两个电流传感器分别检测G点和H点的电流方向实现。
在一些实施例中，开关S1、S3和S4也可以取消设置而短接，此时控制器控制保护开关断开能够使得流入短路支路的电流小于第一电流值，进而保护光伏单元和线路。

当无短路故障时，可以将G点和H点的电流方向设定为预设方向，例如设定为正方向。
当光伏单元101a1和101a2所在的支路出现短路故障时，G点的电流方向会与预设电流方向相反；当光伏单元101a3和101a4所在的支路存在短路故障时，H点的电流方向会与预设电流方向相反，因此控制器可以当G点和H点中的任意一点的电流检测方向与预设电流方向相反时，确定存在短路故障并控制保护开关S1-S4断开，使得流入故障支路的电流为零，进而保护光伏单元和线路。
在一些实施例中，可以将保护开关S1和S2中的至少一个取消设置而短接，或者将保护开关S3和S4中的至少一个取消设置而短接，或者将保护开关S1和S2中的任意一个以及保护开关S3和S4中的任意一个取消设置而短接，进而减少串联的保护开 关的数量，以降低成本。此时控制器控制剩余保护开关断开后能够使得流入存在短路故障的支路的电流小于第一电流值，进而保护光伏单元和线路。

其中，G点可以位于任意一个支路的正输出端或负输出端，除G点所在支路之外的其它所有支路的正输出端汇集于H点，或除G点所在支路之外的其它所有支路的负输出端汇集于H点。
当G点所在支路存在短路故障时，其它所有支路的电流流入G点所在支路，导致此时G点的电流检测方向与预设方向相反；当G点所在支路正常，而其它支路中存在短路故障时，G点所在支路向出现短路故障的支路输出电流，此时H点的电流检测方向与预设电流方向相反。因此，控制器当G点或H点的电流检测方向与预设方向相反时，确定出现短路故障，控制器控制保护开关S1-S M-2均断开，以使任意支路的电流均小于第一电流值，进而保护光伏单元以及线路。
该方式可以通过第三电流传感器检测G点的电流方向，并通过第四电流传感器检测H点的电流方向实现。

其中，G点可以位于任意一个支路的正输出端或负输出端，除G点所在支路之外的其它所有支路的正输出端汇集于H点，或除G点所在支路之外的其它所有支路的负输出端汇集于H点。
当G点所在支路存在短路故障时，其它所有支路的电流流入G点所在支路，导致此时G点的电流检测方向与预设方向相反；当G点所在支路正常，而其它支路中存在短路故障时，G点所在支路向出现短路故障的支路输出电流，此时H点的电流检测方向与预设电流方向相反。因此，控制器当G点或H点的电流检测方向与预设方向相反时，确定出现短路故障，控制器控制保护开关S 1-S N均断开，进而保护光伏单元以及线路。
该方式可以通过第三电流传感器检测G点的电流方向，并通过第四电流传感器检测H点的电流方向实现。
在一些实施例中，保护开关S 1-S N还可以连接在对应的支路的负输出端，或在对应的支路的正、负输出端均串联连接一个保护开关,通过冗余设置保护开关能够提升容错性。

此时，为了使出现短路故障时，任意支路的电流能够小于光伏单元和线路可以耐受的最大电流值，以使任意支路的短路电流不会损坏光伏单元和线路，需要保护开关的数量为(M+N-2)个。
下面说明控制器利用检测电流绝对值大小实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，所有支路的电流汇入直流母线，因此直流母线的电流绝对值(A点或 B点的检测电流的绝对值)大于任意支路的电流的绝对值。而当任意支路出现短路故障时，其它所有的正常支路的输出电流会流向该出现短路故障的支路，此时导致直流母线无电流流过，即直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值。
为了减少使用的电流传感器的数量，以上实现方式可以通过两个电流传感器实现，其中一个电流传感器检测直流母线的A点或B点的电流的绝对值，另一个电流传感器检测任意支路中的电流的绝对值。

下面说明控制器利用检测电流方向实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，可以将检测点G或H的电流方向设定为预设方向，例如设定为正方向。
当G点所在支路存在短路故障时，其它所有支路的电流流入G点所在支路，导致此时G点的电流检测方向与预设方向相反；当G点所在支路正常，而其它支路中存在短路故障时，G点所在支路向出现短路故障的支路输出电流，此时H点的电流检测方向与预设电流方向相反。因此，控制器当G点或H点的电流检测方向与预设方向相反时，确定出现短路故障，控制器控制保护开关S1-S M+N-2均断开，以使任意支路的电流均小于第一电流值，进而保护光伏单元以及线路。
其中，G点可以位于任意一个支路，除G点所在支路之外的其它所有支路的正输出端汇集于H点，或除G点所在支路之外的其它所有支路的负输出端汇集于H点。
在一些实施例中，保护开关S 1-S M-2还可以连接在对应的光伏单元的负输出端，或在光伏单元的正、负输出端均串联连接一个保护开关。通过冗余设置保护开关能够提升容错性。

此时保护开关还用于在断开时使保护单元不触发保护动作，即对于目前采用保护单元的光伏发电系统进行改造时，可以无需对保护单元进行拆除处理，以便于直接入所述断路保护装置。
需要注意的是，单个光伏单元出现短路故障时，当该故障光伏单元可以承受一个其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流时，为了不触发保护单元的保护动作，i的取值为2；当该故障光伏单元可以承受两个其它正常的光伏单元的输出电流时，为了不触发保护单元的保护动作，i的取值为2或3。

装置实施例十一：
参见图21，该图为本申请实施例提供的另一种短路保护装置的示意图。

当该短路保护装置内部出现正负极短路、直流母线短路，或者后级电路的直流母线出现短路时，即点A与点B所在的正、负直流母线之间出现短路，会导致直流母线的电压降低以及电流增大，因此可以以A点或B点为检测点，当检测点的电压的绝对值低于第一电压值且电流的绝对值大于第二电流值时，控制器控制直流开关102断开，以切除短路电流。
当控制器利用检测电流绝对值大小实现保护功能时，直流支路中已经存在电流传感器可以测量A点或B点的电流的绝对值，此时只需增加一个电压传感器测量以A点或B点的电压的绝对值。
当控制器利用检测电流方向实现保护功能时，此时需要通过增加一个电流传感器(即第五电流传感器)测量A点或B点的电流的绝对值，再增加一个电压传感器测量以A点或B点的电压的绝对值。
其中，第二电流值和第一电压值可以根据实际情况确定，本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。

方法实施例
本申请实施例还提供了一种短路保护方法，用于控制以上实施例提供的短路保护装置，该方法可由该短路保护装置的控制器执行。
参见图22，该图为本申请实施例提供的一种装置的控制方法的流程图。
该方法包括以下步骤：
S2201：获取电流检测结果。
S2202：当存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值时控制保护开关断开，支路包括至少一个所述光伏单元。
下面说明实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，所有支路的电流汇入直流母线，因此直流母线的电流绝对值大于任意支路的电流的绝对值，电流的方向为由光伏单元的正极流向正直流母线。而当任意支路出现短路故障时，其它所有的正常支路的输出电流会流向该出现短路故障的支路，此时导致直流母线的电压降低，并且存在支路的电流方向为流向该出现短路故障的支路，即存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值。其中第一电流值可以根据实际情况确定，本申请实施例不作具体限定，优选的，为了尽早发现短路故障并触发保护开关的保护动作，该第一电流值可以为较小的值，例如为0，即当存在支路出现反向电流时，控制保护开关断开以实现对于光伏单元和线路的保护。
具体的，可以通过检测电流绝对值大小或检测电流方向实现保护功能，下面具体说明。
下面说明利用检测电流绝对值大小实现保护功能的原理。
当无短路故障时，所有支路的电流汇入直流母线，因此直流母线的电流绝对值大于任意支路的电流的绝对值。而当任意支路出现短路故障时，其它所有的正常支路的输出电流会流向该出现短路故障的支路，此时导致直流母线无电流流过，即直流母线的电流的绝对值小于任意支路的电流的绝对值。
因此当直流母线的电流的绝对值小于支路电流的绝对值时，控制保护开关断开以使任意支路的电流均小于第一电流值。
下面说明利用检测电流方向实现保护功能的原理。
在任意一个支路上选择第一检测点G，除G点所在支路之外的其它所有支路的正输出端汇集于第二检测点H，或除G点所在支路之外的其它所有支路的负输出端汇集于第二检测点H。
当无短路故障时，可以将检测点G和H的电流方向设定为预设方向，例如设定为正方向。
当G点所在支路存在短路故障时，其它所有支路的电流流入G点所在支路，导致此时G点的电流检测方向与预设方向相反；当G点所在支路正常，而其它支路存在短路故障时，G点所在支路向出现短路故障的支路输出电流，此时H点的电流检测方向与预设电流方向相反。因此，当G点或H点的电流检测方向与预设方向相反时，确定出现短路故障，控制保护开关断开，以使任意支路的电流均小于第一电流值，进而保护光伏单元以及线路。
综上所述，利用本申请实施例提供的方法，应用于短路保护装置时，当存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值时控制保护开关断开，具体当存在支路电流的绝对值大于直流母线 的电流的绝对值时，或存在支路电流方向与预设电流方向相反时，控制保护开关断开以使任意支路的电流小于第一电流值，进而保护了光伏单元和线路。
继续参见图21，在一些实施例中，装置还包括功率电路，直流母线通过直流开关连接功率电路的输入端，此时本申请实施例还提供了另一种装置的控制方法，用于在装置内部出现正负极短路，或者后级母线出现短路时保护电路，下面具体说明。
参见图23，该图为本申请实施例提供的另一种装置的控制方法的流程图。
该方法包括以下步骤：
S2301：获取当前直流母线的电流的绝对值以及直流母线的电压的绝对值。
S2302：当直流母线的电流的绝对值大于第二电流值且直流母线的电压的绝对值小于第一电压值时，控制直流开关断开。
当该短路保护装置的内部出现正负极短路，或者后级电路中的直流母线出现短路时，即点A与点B所在的正、负直流母线之间出现短路，会导致直流母线的电压降低以及电流增大，因此可以以A点或B点为检测点，当检测点的电压的绝对值低于第一电压值且电流的绝对值大于第二电流值时，控制器控制直流开关断开，以切除短路电流。
其中，第二电流值和第一电压值可以根据实际情况确定，本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
综上所述，利用该方法，能够在该短路保护装置内部出现正负极短路，或者后级母线出现短路时及时切除短路电流，实现对装置以及后级电路的保护。
光伏发电系统实施例：
基于以上实施例提供的用于光伏发电系统的短路保护装置，本申请实施例还提供了一种光伏发电系统，下面结合附图具体说明。
参见图24，该图为本申请实施例提供的一种光伏发电系统的示意图。
该光伏发电系统2400包括：至少两个光伏单元和短路保护装置。
其中，光伏单元为至少一个光伏组件通过串并联形成。
该短路保护装置可以通过接口接入至少两个光伏单元，至少两个光伏单元在所述装置内部与所述直流母线并联以形成至少两个支路，每个所述支路至少连接有一个所述光伏单元。
该短路保护装置的保护开关用于在断开时使至多三个光伏单元在装置内部直接并联连接直流母线。
该短路保护装置还包括控制器，关于控制器的说明可以参见以上实施例，本实施例在此不再赘述。
进一步的，该短路保护装置还可以包括功率电路201，功率电路201用于进行功率变换。
在一些实施例中，功率电路201可以为直流-直流(DC-DC)变换电路，当功率电路201为直流-直流变换电路时，该直流-直流变换电路具体可以为升压(Boost)电路、降压(Buck)电路或升降压(Buck-Boost)电路，本申请对此不作具体限定。
在一些实施例中，功率电路201可以为直流-交流(DC-AC)变换电路，即逆变器(或称逆变电路)，用于将直流电变换为交流电后进行输出。
本实施例以图20所示装置为例进行说明，可以理解的是，对于装置实施例一至十一中所提供的装置，同样可以采用本实施例提供的方案，本实施例在此不再一一赘述。
综上所述，利用本申请实施例提供光伏发电系统，当光伏发电系统的短路保护装置通过接口连接多个光伏单元时，控制器能够当存在支路的反向电流大于第一电流值时控制所述保护开关断开，具体的，控制器当存在任意支路的电流的绝对值大于直流母线的电流的绝对值，或存在任意支路电流方向与预设电流方向相反时，控制保护开关断开以使任意支路的电流小于第一电流值，进而保护了光伏系统中的光伏单元和线路，并且由于只在电路中增加了保护开关，相较于熔断器电阻小，因此还降低了光伏系统的损率损耗。此外，由于不再使用熔断器，原先用于内置熔断器的Y线束不需再设置于光伏发电系统的逆变器或者直流汇流箱的下部，而可以配置在光伏单元侧，从而还降低了光伏发电系统的电缆成本。
本申请实施例所述的控制器可以为专用集成电路(application-specific integrated circuit，ASIC)，可编程逻辑器件(programmable logic device，PLD)或其组合。上述PLD可以是复杂可编程逻辑器件(complex programmable logic device，CPLD)，现场可编程逻辑门阵列(field-programmable gate array，FPGA)，通用阵列逻辑(generic array logic,GAL)或其任意组合，本申请实施例不作具体限定。
应当理解，在本申请中，“至少一个(项)”是指一个或者多个，“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”，用于描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，“A和/或B”可以表示：只存在A，只存在B以及同时存在A和B三种情况，其中A，B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达，是指这些项中的任意组合，包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如，a，b或c中的至少一项(个)，可以表示：a，b，c，“a和b”，“a和c”，“b和c”，或“a和b和c”，其中a，b，c可以是单个，也可以是多个。
以上所述，以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案，而非对其限制；尽管参照前述实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的精神和范围。
