摘要： Systems and methods for improving low-load efficiency of power converters are provided. The power converter can include one or more bridge circuits having multiple switching modules, such as insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules, connected in parallel within the same bridge circuit. The power converter is configured to convert power from an input power source, such as a photovoltaic array or a wind turbine, into output power at a grid frequency. To avoid excessive switching losses at low load conditions, the power converter can be controlled to selectively operate a subset of the switching modules within the same bridge circuit based on a load condition for the power converter. The remaining switching modules in the bridge circuit can be disabled.

摘要： A fault protection scheme for a photovoltaic power converter system is provided. According to aspects of the present disclosure, a fault protection circuit is coupled between a power converter and a ground reference. The fault protection circuit includes a fuse and a current sensor coupled in series with the fuse. A controller is configured to receive current readings from the current sensor and compare the current readings to a current threshold. The current threshold is selected to be less than the fuse current rating of the fuse. The controller identifies a fault condition if the current flowing through the ground protection circuit exceeds the current threshold value. A contactor can also be provided to temporarily lift the power converter relative to the ground reference to determine the existence of other fault paths in the system.
