  • Publication number: 20250130280
    Abstract: A method for testing and controlling a rapid shutdown device, and a tester are provided. The method includes: transmitting a heartbeat signal of first signal strength to a target rapid shutdown device in a target rapid shutdown module to switch the target rapid shutdown device on and testing the target rapid shutdown device using a preset testing program t, on receipt of a rapid shutdown device testing request, where all rapid shutdown devices in the target rapid shutdown module are previously off; and transmitting a heartbeat signal of second signal strength to the target rapid shutdown module to switch the rapid shutdown devices on or off, on receipt of a rapid shutdown device control request, where the first signal strength is lower than the second signal strength.

  • Publication number: 20250025546
    Abstract: Disclosed are a hexavalent norovirus VLP vaccine formulation and a preparation method thereof. The formulation comprises six proteins having amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID No. 2, SEQ ID No. 4, SEQ ID No. 6, SEQ ID No. 8, SEQ ID No. 10, and SEQ ID No. 12. A Pichia pastoris expression system was used to develop the hexavalent norovirus vaccine. Sequencing, digestion, and exogenous gene expression detection were conducted to identify recombinant vectors and select high-expression strains. VLPs were purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and identified by electron microscopy, with the results demonstrating that the obtained candidate hexavalent vaccine VLPs had a purity of over 95% and each VLP was intact in structure and uniform in size, indicating structural integrity and stable performance of the VLPs. The hexavalent VLP vaccine induced long-lasting and high-titer antibody responses and generated specific blocking antibodies and T cell immune responses.

  • Publication number: 20240405717
    Abstract: A shutdown device control method, system and apparatus, and a shutdown controller. If the shutdown controller detects that an input voltage of the shutdown controller is reduced, when the input voltage of the shutdown controller is reduced to a preset protection voltage but has not been reduced to an undervoltage protection threshold voltage, the shutdown controller controls the shutdown of a shutdown device connected to a power supply photovoltaic assembly that supplies power to the shutdown controller, so that a bypass diode connected to the power supply photovoltaic assembly bypasses the power supply photovoltaic assembly, so that the power supply photovoltaic assembly only supplies power to the shutdown controller.

  • Publication number: 20240405570
    Abstract: A method and a device for a current source to respond, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. Parallel control for the current source and a voltage source is established, and a voltage across an alternating-current bus is acquired. When the voltage is lower than a first threshold, the current source outputs a current to increase the voltage across the alternating-current bus. Then, it is determined whether the voltage exceeds a second threshold. When the voltage exceeds the second threshold, the current source stops outputting the current. When the voltage does not exceed the second threshold, power is distributed between the current source and the voltage source after power synchronization. The current source directly outputs the current, and therefore unnecessarily wait for the power from the voltage source.

  • Publication number: 20240356329
    Abstract: A rapid shutdown device and a photovoltaic device are provided. The rapid shutdown device according to the present disclosure includes a first on-off switching transistor, a voltage module, a first driving module and a control chip. The voltage module adapts voltage outputted by a controlled photovoltaic module to the control chip. Therefore, the rapid shutdown device for a photovoltaic device formed by multiple photovoltaic modules connected in series unnecessitated a high-voltage chip. Instead, a common low-voltage chip is suitable for such photovoltaic device. Further, since an output voltage signal of the low-voltage chip is insufficient to directly drive the first on-off switching transistor connected to the controlled photovoltaic module in series, the first driving module is added to adapt the electric signal sent by the control chip to the first on-off switching transistor.

  • Publication number: 20240275306
    Abstract: A micro-inverter and a grid-tied output control method and device therefor. The micro-inverter comprises an inverter full-bridge circuit and an LC filter circuit. The LC filter circuit is grid-tied to a power grid by means of an output switch. The method comprises: obtaining a voltage amplitude, a frequency, and a phase of a voltage of the power grid by using phase locking; adjusting a power switching transistor driving the inverter full-bridge circuit to cause an output voltage of the micro-inverter to track the voltage of the power grid; and controlling the output switch to be switched on so that the micro-inverter operates normally. In the present application, before the output switch is turned off to grid-tie the micro-inverter, the power grid voltage is phase-locked and the output voltage of the micro-inverter is controlled to track the power grid voltage.

  • Publication number: 20240275172
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling a shutoff device, and a shutoff device. The method is applied to a processor of the shutoff device. The method includes: determining whether a heartbeat signal is received continuously during a first preset period; if so, controlling the N main switching transistors to be turned on, and determining whether the heartbeat signal is not received continuously during a second preset period; and if so, controlling the N main switching transistors to be turned off, and controlling the release circuit to be turned on to release a voltage on the bus. A release circuit is controlled to release voltage on the bus to the ground, thereby rapidly reducing the voltage on the bus, avoiding person danger and safety accidents caused by the long-term presence of the direct current high voltage on the bus, and improving the safety and reliability of a photovoltaic system.

  • Publication number: 20240275159
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling a shutoff device, and a shutoff device. The shutoff device includes N main switching transistors and N bypass switching transistors. The method includes: controlling the N main switching transistors to be turned on after receiving a heartbeat signal; determining whether a power supply voltage of a processor is less than a first under-voltage protection voltage; and if so, controlling the N main switching transistors to be turned off, and controlling the N bypass switching transistors to be turned on. Thus, N photovoltaic modules and N main switching transistors corresponding to a shutoff device are separated from multiple photovoltaic module groups, so that the photovoltaic module groups corresponding to other shutoff devices can normally output DC voltage to an inverter, and the inverter can normally output AC power for integration into a power grid, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the photovoltaic system.

    Abstract: A shutoff device, including a shutoff device control chip, where the shutoff device control chip includes a voltage output port, and a configuration module configured to adjust an output voltage of the voltage output port. Since the shutoff device control chip is provided in the shutoff device, and a voltage output port and a configuration module configured to adjust the output voltage of the voltage output port are provided in the shutoff device control chip, the shutoff device output can output different voltage values by configuring the configuration module. In this case, when a connection structure between the shutoff device and the photovoltaic module in the photovoltaic system changes, it is only necessary to reconfigure the configuration module to achieve the purpose of adjusting the output voltage of shutoff device.
