Publication number: 20250118972Abstract: An MPPT control method and device, and a storage medium are provided. Power loss at the direct-current side of the photovoltaic inverter and conversion efficiency loss in an inverter circuit in the photovoltaic inverter affect efficiency of the photovoltaic inverter. The direct-current loss indicates power loss occurring at a direct-current side of the photovoltaic inverter. The conversion efficiency loss indicates power loss in the inverter circuit. The photovoltaic inverter is MPPT controlled based on the direct-current loss and/or the conversion efficiency loss. Therefore, the efficiency of the photovoltaic inverter can be improved based on the direct-current loss and/or the conversion efficiency loss, thereby increasing energy yield of the photovoltaic system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Applicant: Sungrow Renewables Development Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yanhu Zhang, Pengpeng Chen, Jiankai Chen, Shaokun Zou

Power derating method for photovoltaic tracking system, controller, and photovoltaic tracking system
Patent number: 12088105Abstract: A power derating method for a photovoltaic tracking system, a controller and a photovoltaic tracking system are provided. A current operating power and a target derating power of a photovoltaic inverter are acquired. A total power derating amount is calculated based on the current operating power and the target derating power. A target power derating amount by a photovoltaic tracker is determined based on the total power derating amount and a preset derating amount distribution coefficient. A target tracking angle is determined based on the target power derating amount. The photovoltaic tracker is controlled to adjust a photovoltaic module to be at the target tracking angle and fix the photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic inverter is controlled to adjust a direct current operating voltage based on a difference between the total power derating amount and the target power derating amount.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Sungrow Renewables Development Co., Ltd.Inventors: Zongjun Yang, Shaokun Zou, Yanhu Zhang, Xiaoguang Li -
Publication number: 20240055867Abstract: A method and apparatus for matching between photovoltaic devices, and a photovoltaic tracking system are disclosed. Identifiers of trackers, inverters and MPPT branches in a photovoltaic power station are acquired; a preset action instruction is sent to a target tracker, to instruct the target track to act in response to the preset action instruction; inverter data is obtained after sending the preset action instruction, and an identifier of a target MPPT branch of a target inverter that subjects to an expected MPPT branch change is determined; and the target tracker is mapped to the identifier of the target MPPT branch. The target tracker is determined arbitrarily from the trackers in the photovoltaic power station. Therefore, mapping between the trackers and the MPPT branches can be obtained by applying the method to all the trackers, which has a high matching efficiency and is less error-prone.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2022Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Zongjun YANG, Shaokun ZOU, Yanhu ZHANG
