Publication number: 20190178923Abstract: An islanding detection method and apparatus for an inverter, and a power supply system to resolve a problem that an existing voltage total harmonic distortion (THD)-based islanding detection method has low islanding detection reliability due to existence of a relatively large detection dead zone. According to this detection method, the voltage total harmonic distortion changes more significantly before and after the islanding effect of the inverter occurs in order to reduce an islanding detection dead zone and improve islanding detection reliability.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2019Publication date: June 13, 2019Inventors: Zhangping Shao, Kai Xin, Congyuan Wang

Patent number: 10103640Abstract: A power converter, including: at least two inverting modules, where direct current sides of the at least two inverting modules are connected in parallel using a laminated busbar or a circuit board, and the at least two inverting modules run in an interleaved and parallel manner. In the present invention, the power converter is formed by connecting at least two inverting modules in parallel, and the direct current sides of the at least two inverting modules are connected in parallel using the laminated busbar or the circuit board, so that parasitic inductance between inverting modules is small, forming a low parasitic inductance loop. When the at least two inverting modules run in an interleaved and parallel manner, the low parasitic inductance loop counteracts most ripple currents in a circuit, thereby reducing the burden of the ripple currents on a bus capacitor. Therefore, the demand of the power converter provided in the present invention for the bus capacitor is small.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Yazhu Zhao, Yunfeng Liu, Kai Xin
