  • Publication number: 20240128890
    Abstract: A micro inverter having a plurality of independent inputs and a photovoltaic system are provided. The micro inverter includes multiple isolated DC-DC converters and a DC-AC converter. Each isolated DC-DC converter of the isolated DC-DC converters includes an inverter H-bridge, a transformer and a voltage-multiplying rectifier. An input terminal of the inverter H-bridges is configured to connect to a direct-current power supply. A secondary winding of the transformer is connected to an input terminal of the voltage-multiplying rectifier. An output terminal of the voltage-multiplying rectifier is connected to an input terminal of the DC-AC converter. A leakage inductor or an external inductor of the transformer forms series resonance along with a capacitor in the voltage-multiplying rectifier.

  • Publication number: 20240113638
    Abstract: A single-stage multi-path direct current access converter and a control method thereof are provided. The single-stage multi-path direct current access converter includes an AC-side conversion circuit; at least two DC-side conversion circuits; and transformers corresponding to the at least two DC-side conversion circuits. AC sides of the at least two DC-side conversion circuits are respectively connected to primary windings of the corresponding transformers; secondary windings of the transformers are connected in parallel to a first side of the AC-side conversion circuit; each of the at least two DC-side conversion circuits is configured to invert DC power received by the DC-side conversion circuit, or to rectify AC power received by the DC-side conversion circuit; and the AC-side conversion circuit is configured to perform AC frequency conversion.
