摘要： An apparatus and method of control for converting DC (direct current) power from a solar photovoltaic source to AC (alternating current) power. A novel DC-to-AC power converter topology and a novel control method are disclosed. This combination of topology and control are very well suited for photovoltaic microinverter applications. Also, a novel variant of this control method is illustrated with a number of known photovoltaic DC-to-AC power converter topologies. The primary function of both control methods is to seek the maximum power point (MPP) of the photovoltaic source with novel, iterative, perturb and observe control algorithms. The control portion of this invention discloses two related control methods, both an improvement over prior art by having greatly improved stability, dynamic response and accuracy.

摘要： A controller (28) for a doubly fed induction generator (12,20) adjusts control signals to a rotor side converter (24) and line side converter (22) to adjust rotor current when a voltage transient on a utility grid (10) occurs, so that the doubly fed induction generator can ride through the transient. The controller can also turn off the transistors of the rotor side converter (24) to reduce rotor current and/or activate a crowbar (42) to reduce the voltage of the DC link (26) connecting the converters (22, 24) when significant voltage transients occur on the grid (10). This permits continued operation of the DFIG system without disconnecting from the grid.

Above the synchronous speed of the generator, the electricity from the rotor is converted to direct current (dc) electricity and the de electricity is converted back to alternating current (ac) electricity at a fixed unity power factor. Below synchronous speed, electricity flows to the rotor from the utility grid also at a fixed unity power factor. The current of the ac electricity is adjusted to be in phase with the utility grid voltage, wherein the ac electricity is maintained substantially at unity power factor.

摘要： A control strategy for distributed power generation modules in a power system that varies the line frequency or voltage according to a predetermined pattern to cause a PV inverter to modify its power output and thereby avoid overcharging a battery. When the power system operates in islanded mode, the AC load demand can be lower than the available energy from the PV array, causing the battery to become overcharged. To avoid this scenario, a hybrid inverter executes a pattern generator algorithm that varies the line frequency or voltage linearly, exponentially or any mathematical function or look-up tables. The PV inverter executes a pattern detection algorithm that detects the linear, exponential, or any mathematical function or look-up table change in the line frequency. In response, the PV inverter modifies its power output until an overcharging condition of the battery is removed. The line frequency/voltage can be varied within the anti-islanding limits.
摘要翻译：一种用于根据预定模式改变线路频率或电压的电力系统中的分布式发电模块的控制策略，以使PV逆变器修改其功率输出，从而避免电池过度充电。当电力系统工作在孤岛模式时，交流负载需求可能低于来自光伏阵列的可用能量，导致电池过充电。为了避免这种情况，混合逆变器执行模式发生器算法，其线性地，指数地或任何数学函数或查找表改变线路频率或电压。 PV逆变器执行模式检测算法，其检测线路频率中的线性，指数或任何数学函数或查找表变化。作为响应，PV逆变器修改其功率输出，直到电池的过充电状态被去除。线路频率/电压可以在防孤岛极限内变化。
