Intelligent photovoltaic shutoff device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of distributed photovoltaics, in particular to an intelligent photovoltaic shutoff device.
Background
Solar energy is becoming more and more important as a clean energy source. With further reduction of the cost of photovoltaic power generation, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation also presents an explosive growth situation.
At present, a photovoltaic power generation system generally adopts a serial structure, and photovoltaic modules after serial connection can form direct current high voltage of kilovolts, so that safety risks can be formed for personnel under the conditions of maintenance, fire fighting and the like. Therefore, some countries and regions have come out of the relevant standards, and the photovoltaic power generation system is required to support the rapid shutdown function of the component level, so that high direct current voltage is avoided under the conditions of fire protection, maintenance and the like, and potential safety hazards are eliminated.
To realize the shutdown function at the component level, the shutdown device needs to have a communication capability to receive the on or off signal, and the power line carrier communication is widely used in the photovoltaic component shutdown device because no additional wiring is required. In the prior art of the photovoltaic module shutoff device (such as CN 212367219U), an inductor is connected in series in a photovoltaic direct current loop to provide alternating current impedance of a power line carrier signal, so that a PLC demodulation circuit can be conveniently coupled out of the carrier signal. However, as the power generated by a single photovoltaic module is larger, the string current in the photovoltaic string is larger, and the series inductor itself has a certain direct current resistance, and under a large current, the series inductor consumes higher power consumption to generate heat. For example, when the string current is 20A and the dc resistance of the series inductor is 5mΩ, the series inductor consumes 2W of power. Therefore, in a narrow space of the photovoltaic junction box, heat is not easy to dissipate, high temperature exists in the photovoltaic junction box due to 2W power, ageing and cracking of the plastic junction box and glue are accelerated, and potential safety hazards exist. Meanwhile, the inductance with large rated current has high cost and high price, and is not beneficial to popularization of the photovoltaic junction box.
Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art is a subject to be studied and solved by the present invention.

Referring to fig. 2, an intelligent photovoltaic shutoff device includes a photovoltaic module 101, a switching tube driving circuit 102, a PLC (power line carrier) demodulation circuit 103, a first coupling capacitor 104, a second coupling capacitor 105, a first switching tube 106, a bypass diode 107, and a load resistor 108.
The PLC demodulation circuit 103 is electrically connected to the switching tube driving circuit 102.
The source (S) of the first switching tube 106 is connected to the negative electrode (PV-) of the photovoltaic module 101, the drain (D) of the first switching tube 106 is connected to the anode of the bypass diode 107, and the gate (G) of the first switching tube 106 is electrically connected to the switching tube driving circuit 102.
The first end of the first coupling capacitor 104 is connected with the source electrode (S) of the first switching tube 106, the second end of the first coupling capacitor 104 is connected with the drain electrode (D) of the first switching tube 106, and the first coupling capacitor 104 is connected in parallel with the source-drain end of the first switching tube 106 and is used for providing an alternating current path for alternating current carrier signals when the first switching tube 106 is turned off.
The first end of the load resistor 108 is connected to the drain electrode (D) of the first switching tube 106, and the second end of the load resistor 108 is connected to the positive electrode (pv+) of the photovoltaic module 101. The load resistor 108 is connected between the output Vout+/Vout of the shutoff device and has a resistance greater than 10KΩ, and can provide a reverse current to the first switching tube 106 when the first switching tube 106 is turned off.
The cathode of the bypass diode 107 is connected with the positive electrode (PV+), and the bypass diode 107 is connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the output of the shutoff device and is used for providing a current path for other series components when the first switching tube 106 is turned off so as to prevent high voltage from occurring between the source and the drain of the first switching tube 106 and between Vout+/Vout-.
Preferably, the photovoltaic module further comprises a second switch tube 109, when the first switch tube 106 is turned off, the second switch tube 109 is turned on, a source electrode (S) of the second switch tube 109 is connected to a drain electrode (D) of the first switch tube 106, the drain electrode (D) of the second switch tube 109 is connected to an anode (pv+), and a gate electrode (G) of the second switch tube 109 is electrically connected to the switch tube driving circuit 102.
The first switching tube 106 and the second switching tube 109 may be high-power MOSFET devices, or may be other electronic switches of IGBTs and thyristors.
The second switching tube 109 and the first switching tube 106 may not be turned on at the same time, and when the first switching tube 106 is turned off, the second switching tube 109 is turned on to provide a current path for other series components. Since the bypass diode 107 has a certain on voltage (usually about 0.6V), when the first switching tube 106 is turned off and the string current is large, the bypass diode 107 consumes high power consumption to generate heat seriously, and in extreme cases, the turn-off device is damaged and even a fire is caused. After adding the second switching tube 109, the second switching tube 109 is turned on when the first switching tube 106 is turned off, and the heat generated when a large current flows through the second switching tube 109 is far lower than the heat generated when a current flows through the bypass diode 107 because the on-resistance of the second switching tube 109 is low, so that the risk is reduced.
The first end of the second coupling capacitor 105 is connected to the positive electrode (pv+) -of the photovoltaic module 101, and the second end of the second coupling capacitor 105 is electrically connected to the PLC demodulation circuit 103. The second coupling capacitor 105 is configured to couple the carrier signals sampled by the positive electrode (pv+ and PV-) of the photovoltaic module 101 into the PLC demodulation circuit 103 for demodulation, and after the PLC demodulation circuit 103 demodulates the control information sent by the sending end, the first switching tube 106 and the second switching tube 109 are correspondingly controlled by the switching tube driving circuit 102.
As shown in fig. 3, the photovoltaic module 101 includes a panel PS, a parasitic capacitor Cp, a resistor Rs, and a parasitic inductance Lp, where the resistor Rs is connected in series with the parasitic inductance Lp, and one end of the resistor Rs is connected to the positive electrode of the panel PS, and one end of the parasitic capacitor Cp is connected to the positive electrode of the panel PS, and the other end is connected to the negative electrode of the panel PS.
The parasitic inductance Lp has a value of 5uH, the resistor Rs has a value of 1Ω, and the parasitic capacitance Cp has a value of 100uF.
Preferably, since the parasitic inductance Lp and the parasitic capacitance Cp of the photovoltaic module 101 exhibit the band-stop characteristic (fig. 4), in order to reduce the attenuation of the PLC signal by the photovoltaic module 101, the carrier frequency band needs to avoid the band-stop portion of the photovoltaic module 101. If the carrier frequency band is selected from the low frequency band, the coupling capacitors 104 and 105 with larger capacitance are needed, and the cost is higher, so that the carrier frequency band is preferably selected from about 1 MHz.
If the first switching tube 106 is a PMOS device, the source electrode (S) is connected with PV+, the drain electrode (D) is connected with Vout+, and the grid electrode is connected with the switching tube driving circuit, and if the first switching tube is an NMOS device, the source electrode (S) is connected with Vout+, the drain electrode (D) is connected with PV+, and the grid electrode is connected with the switching tube driving circuit.
Compared with the prior art, the invention provides a photovoltaic turnoff structure based on power line carrier communication, which has a simple structure and low cost. The invention uses the parasitic inductance of the photovoltaic module as the carrier signal load, and compared with the prior art, the invention greatly simplifies the carrier signal sampling coupling circuit and reduces the cost. Meanwhile, the potential safety hazard caused by heating of the series inductor under high current is avoided, and the reliability of the shutoff device is improved.
