  • System for the electronic management of photovoltaic cells with adapted thresholds
    Patent number: 9515517
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the electronic management of a photovoltaic generator, said system comprising a plurality of n static converters (11, 12, 13) connected in parallel, each converter (11, 12, 13) being electrically connected to at least one photovoltaic cell (10) of the generator. The number of converters connected is determined by comparing the generated power to thresholds P1, P2, . . . , Pn-1 which are defined as the power values substantially at the point of intersection of the performance curves for an increasing number of converters. The invention also relates to a generator comprising said system and to the associated control method.

  • System for the electronic management of photovoltaic cells as a function of meteorology
    Patent number: 9310820
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the electronic management of a photovoltaic generator, said system comprising a plurality of n static converters (11, 12, 13) connected in parallel, each converter (11, 12, 13) being electrically connected to at least one photovoltaic cell (10) of the generator. The number of converters connected is varied by varying the photovoltaic power, by comparing the generated power to thresholds P1, P2, . . . , Pn?1 after a time delay t. The invention also relates to a generator comprising said system and to the associated control method.
