DC wire 20 joins in direct current bonding pad 30 and central inverter.This direct current bonding pad provides the direct current bus-bar 31 of cascade if desired, and on this direct current bus-bar, the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic is linked together by other DC insurance silk 32 respectively.In order to monitor radiation, when possibly regulate and control photovoltaic devices, optional measurement point 34 is set in addition, for example, for current measurement.In addition, one of them direct current bus-bar 31 can be set to and specify in potential with respect to ground wire current potential PE, for example ground connection.Can prevent the premature aging of the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic thus.As shown in FIG., this type of ground connection can be realized by Earth Fault Detection and interruption (GFDI) element 35, with can be in the sub-generator of photovoltaic monitoring grounding fault.
In addition there is shown the installation position 33 for DC switch.As after will further illustrate, this installation position 33 is for according to the System Construction of the photovoltaic devices of prior art highly significant.Yet also for example by cable testing bridge, replacing according to omitting set DC switch in photovoltaic devices of the present utility model.
In the power zone 40 of central inverter, settled one or more DC-AC current transformers 41, wherein in this case only show two for the purpose of clear.At direct current on one side, the direct current bus-bar 31 in this DC-AC current transformer 41 and direct current bonding pad 30 joins.Conventionally the direct current on DC-AC current transformer 41 is provided with intermediate loop electric capacity on one side.As shown in FIG., this intermediate loop electric capacity can be a total intermediate loop electric capacity 42, or also can be placed in each DC-AC current transformer 41.At alternating current on one side, in order to form, be the output voltage of sinusoidal form as far as possible, after filter 43 is connected in series to DC-AC current transformer 41.This filter 43 comprises exemplary connected with each other by the inductance of rounded projections arranged and electric capacity in an illustrated embodiment.This filter 43 is often also expressed as sinusoidal filter because of its function.
Three alternating current outputs of above-mentioned power zone 40 will 50 transfer to transformer 60 through the interchange disconnecting device 51 that is arranged on that in alternating current bonding pad.Exchanging disconnecting device 51 can be for example be contactor, circuit breaker, electric loading isolating switch or also can being combined to form by one or more fuses or this class component.
In addition alternating current bonding pad 50 has ac short circuit switch 52, and this ac short circuit switch is in order being arranged on of power zone 40 to be exchanged to the short circuit and arranging each other of three outputs before disconnecting device 51 when activating on transmitting energy flow path direction.Ac short circuit switch 52 is symbolically expressed as mechanical switch in the drawings.In the operation of photovoltaic devices, ac short circuit switch 52 is preferably semiconductor switch, for ensureing short as far as possible switching time.In other operation, ac short circuit switch 52 is mechanical switching mechanisms, and the switching manipulation of this mechanical switch mechanism triggers the mode of operation by pyrotechnics at high speed.Ac short circuit switch 52 is characterised in that, can in very short time range, (for example, within one millisecond) close.In an illustrated embodiment ac short circuit switch 52 be placed in to filter 43 and exchange between disconnecting device 51.
In the first method of operation, particularly 30 inner or while being short-circuited in 40 inside, power zone of inverter in direct current bonding pad while breaking down, be arranged to the alternating current output of at least one DC-AC current transformer 41 to carry out short circuit by ac short circuit switch 52, and the photovoltaic string 12 of the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic is disconnected with direct current bonding pad 30 by being placed in the direct current resolution element 14 of generator-near.By the one-side disconnection of photovoltaic string 12 and fast as far as possible short circuit alternating current output, the large short circuit current of realizing direct current one side and alternating current one side all can not be flowed into (being 30Huo power zone, direct current bonding pad 40) in inverter region, otherwise can produce there, destroy or catch fire.
By being placed in the direct current resolution element 14 of generator-near, disconnecting the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic and be first merely able to one pole and carry out, the utmost point with this by the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic remains on always specifies in potential, for example, with this, prevent the aging of photovoltaic module.In order to be suppressed at the corrosion in thin-film module, need to for example the potential intermediate point of the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic be moved with respect to earth potential PE.This can realize by the ground connection of one of them bus-bar 31, for example, by GFDI element 35 shown in the figure.The adjustment of the potential on the sub-generator of photovoltaic also can be moved and be realized by alternating current potential on one side alternatively.
The operation of ac short circuit switch 52 prevented large-scale especially electric current from energy resource supply network 70 through transformers 60 with sluggish and therefore (still) closed exchange power zone 40 that disconnecting device 51 flows into central inverter.
The short-circuit conditions being caused on one side by alternating current shows as the mode of operation that can not accept for a long time, because energy resource supply network 70, transformer 60 and short switch 52 are by by being loaded in the short-circuit conditions that can accept for a long time in scope.Yet short-circuit conditions also just arranges provisionally, because exchange opening of disconnecting device 51 in controlling the while or being close to be also accompanied by of ac short circuit switch 52 simultaneously.When interchange disconnecting device 51 has fuse in circuit, the short circuit current automatically circulating by height on this fuse mechanism disconnects.Yet because the fuse of all phases might not all disconnect, be conventionally also provided with in this case a switching mechanism as the parts that exchange disconnecting device 51.Exchange disconnecting device 51 and also alternatively by circuit breaker, form, this circuit breaker under short-circuit conditions automatically or control the full utmost point in ground and disconnect.
Exchanging disconnecting device 51 opened to hundreds of millisecond tens conventionally according to its inherent delay time.In addition, for having connected at ac short circuit switch 52 and having exchanged the time period that disconnecting device 51 is not also opened, by the transmission characteristic limiting short-circuit current of transformer 60.
According to the utility model, be that mechanical switch mechanism based on triggering by semiconductor switch or pyrotechnics can realize short circuit quickly than the disconnection that exchanges wire.Reason is that it is to take mechanical switch as basis that element that be connected and transmitting energy for example exchanges disconnecting device 51, minimum for line loss is down to, and does not wherein generally have the trigger equipment of pyrotechnics.The mechanical switch that requires at the electric current in view of to be connected and voltage must have relative high amount of movement, consider the material inertia of the assembly being connected with common driving mechanism, particularly do not have under the trigger mechanism of pyrotechnics, this relatively high amount of movement has caused above-mentioned intrinsic switching delay.
Another fault can be present in following situation, in two DC wires 20 between the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic and direct current bonding pad 30, is short-circuited.This short circuit has caused the high electric current at location of short circuit.The electric current of the sub-generator 11 of affected photovoltaic not serious at once wherein, because DC wire 20 arranges for this electric current.Yet more the most important thing is, the sub-generator 11 of all other photovoltaics has been facilitated short circuit current equally through direct current bonding pad 30.In addition,, through the power zone 40 of central inverter, extra short circuit current amount can flow into location of short circuit from energy resource supply network 70.Generally speaking, short circuit current amount can cause the overload of DC wire 20 and produce and catch fire thus, or also can cause overload and/or the destruction of semiconductor switch or fly-wheel diode, for example, at DC-AC current transformer 41 or other, not have to arrange in the element/parts that can bear and transmit so high electric current.Wherein destroying can be the consequence of too high thermal loss, or can be also the consequence of the too high electromagnetic force accompanying with electric current.Similarly, the short circuit producing in a DC-AC current transformer 41 therein by the semiconductor switch that damages for other reasons, electric current that can be by the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic and cause the destruction of other semiconductor switch from the electric current of energy resource supply network 70.
By the second method of operation, will under this type of short-circuit conditions, protect photovoltaic devices, this short circuit occurs in the region of DC wire 20 or may be in being placed in the region of the boost converter 15 between DC wire and photovoltaic string.Wherein, photovoltaic string 12 disconnects by being placed in the direct current resolution element 14 of generator-near again, and the electric current in DC wire 20 interrupts by the disconnection of other DC insurance silk 32.Wherein direct current resolution element 14 has prevented that electric current from flowing into fault zone from photovoltaic string 12.Here also first disconnect one pole, with this, sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic is remained on and specified in potential.Although other DC insurance silk 32 can bear the short circuit current of the photovoltaic string 12 of the relevant sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic, but can not bear the electric current that may differ in size from the sub-generator 11 of a plurality of incoherent photovoltaics, can not bear the electric current that flows into fault zone through inverter.So above-mentioned electric current can disconnect other DC insurance silk 32 and stop other electric current to flow into fault zone.In inverter, especially due to intermediate loop electric capacity 42, high electric current other DC insurance silk 32 of can flowing through, and DC-AC current transformer 41 can not bear excessive current loading.Thus, intermediate loop electric capacity 42 can contribute to disconnect safely DC insurance silk 32 in the second method of operation.In addition, do not produce obvious electric current and increase in exchanging wire, this electric current increase can cause disconnecting ac short circuit switch 52.Thus, in DC wire 20 regions or in the time of may breaking down, without other method, just can prevent that ac short circuit switch 52 from disconnecting in the region of the boost converter 15 between DC wire and photovoltaic string.
And 52, ac short circuit switch is in the situation that circulate in too high disconnection of electric current in power zone 40, for example, may occur too high electric current by the short circuit in 30Huo power zone, bonding pad 40.For different faults type, carry out the method for operation conform to it, in the long period of operation of photovoltaic devices, also can ensure according to mode and method as far as possible cheaply the reliable protection of photovoltaic devices assembly thus.Especially prevent the unnecessary operations of ac short circuit switch 52, this non-essential operation is connected with expensive with high maintenance cost, because short switch 52 can only use once conventionally, and must change after disconnecting.
In above-mentioned the first and the second method of operation, all must suppress as soon as possible the electric current fault element that sub-generator 11 is connected after flowing into from photovoltaic.In this case, the opening of direct current resolution element 14 that is placed in generator-near may be accompanied by closing of direct-current short circuit switch 16.This be based on, direct-current short circuit switch 16 is semiconductor switchs and reacts soon than the direct current resolution element 14 of slow disconnection.
The third method of operation is specially adapted to process and occurs in the fault in photovoltaic string 12 and the sub-generator of photovoltaic 11 regions.In this case, photovoltaic string 12 may be the parts of boost converter 15 by being placed in the direct-current short circuit switch 16(of generator-near at once) be short-circuited.Then photovoltaic string 12 will disconnect by opening the direct current resolution element 14 and the direct-current short circuit switch 16 that are placed between photovoltaic string 12 and direct-current short circuit switch 16.A this disconnection at present again one pole ground occurs, and the utmost point with this by the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic always remains on specifies in potential, for example, with this, prevent the aging of photovoltaic module.When breaking down in the region of photovoltaic string 12, according to the connection order of direct-current short circuit switch 16 and direct current resolution element 14, first by photovoltaic string 12 quick no-voltages connect, then, for example, in order to suppress serial arc, photovoltaic string is disconnected.For maintenance and the object of repairing, next also can carry out full utmost point disconnection by two switches 141 and 142 of direct current resolution element 14.When direct-current short circuit switch 16 damages, can advantageously use direct current resolution element 14, be used for stoping lasting short circuit current.
Photovoltaic string 12 and the photovoltaic module being placed in wherein can not transship because of the short circuit producing by direct-current short circuit switch 16, because this direct-current short circuit switch is for short circuit current arranges, and short circuit is expressed as the working point of a permission on its current-voltage characteristic curve.Wherein counterflow-preventing diode 17 has protected photovoltaic module in direct-current short circuit switch 16 and photovoltaic string 12 to avoid high reverse current, the sub-generator 11 of other photovoltaic or 40 flow into direct current bonding pads 30 from power zone otherwise this reverse current can be flowed through.
By application direct-current short circuit switch 16, other DC insurance silk 32 and ac short circuit switch 52, can in direct current bonding pad 30, be omitted in the disconnecting device of available technology adopting, and the rapid connection of the direct-flow input end of the sub-generator 11 of photovoltaic and DC-AC current transformer 41 occurs thus.Especially can omit according to prior art the direct current separating switch on installation position shown in the figure 33 is set, realize thus the saving of material, the extra material consumption bringing due to direct-current short circuit switch 16 and ac short circuit switch 52 that this saving has made up even overcompensation.
In the interchangeable design of photovoltaic devices, can be designed to, ac short circuit switch 52 is placed between the alternating current output and filter 43 of inverter 41.This,, under short-circuit conditions, is exchanged to disconnecting device 51 until open, and the size of short circuit current not only for example, is limited by the transmission performance (stray impedance) of transformer 60, and it is favourable also the transmission performance by filter 43 being obtained to restriction.
Alternatively or extraly can be when settling ac short circuit switch 52 according to diagram, or also in the situation that not having transformer 60 preposition, by the size of inner current limiting element limiting short-circuit current.Yet under excessive current limit, can produce danger, residual electricity fails to be convened for lack of a quorum and flows in inverter.
Compare with exchanging disconnecting device 51, about the arrangement of ac short circuit switch 52, substantially it is noted that and see to energy flow direction when the transmission, exchange disconnecting device 51 be connected on ac short circuit switch 52 after.Arrangement about filter 43 and transformer 60 can change for the consideration of short circuit current size.
