Abstract: A photovoltaic powered system and an alternating current (AC) module thereof are disclosed. The photovoltaic powered system provides a direct current (DC) power through a photovoltaic module and converts the DC power into an AC power, which is grid-connected to an AC utility power. The AC module of the photovoltaic powered system produces a continuous quasi-sinusoidal current and the quasi-sinusoidal current is converted into a sinusoidal current. The high-frequency harmonic components of the sinusoidal current are filtered to produce a sinusoidal output current in phase with the AC utility power, thus realizing the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the photovoltaic module and feeding unity-power-factor power into the AC utility power.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cascaded network power control system comprising at least a controlled power site and a control center. The controlled power site has a front end processor (FEP). The FEP at least has two network ports (an uplink network port and a downlink network port). The control center uses an optical fiber to connect the network ports of the FEP, and uses the network ports of the FEP to establish contact with another controlled power site. The network ports are connected with network ports of a preceding controlled power site and the next controlled power site for transmission of a normal/abnormal signal of an intelligent electricity device (IED) of the preceding controlled power site. The normal/abnormal signal is transmitted to the IED of the local controlled power site via an RS232 or RS485 port.
