The subject matter of the invention is the provision of a power-management system and method for photovoltaic installations connecting to the grid, which incorporates monitoring active and/or reactive power, account being taken at all times of grid require...

An energy management system comprising: a first interface for connection to a power generation system; a second interface for connection to a storage device; a third interface for connection to a power grid; a fourth interface for connection to a load; and...

A power converter assembly for a solar power plant comprising boost converter means, direct current bus bar means and control means, the boost converter means comprising a plurality of boost converter blocks each having a direct current input adapted to be...

A conventional hill climbing method is not capable of tracking a maximum power when a shadow covers a part of a solar cell panel and a plurality of maximal values is thereby developed. The invention provides a photovoltaic power generation system control m...

A power control apparatus for supplying a load with power output by a solar cell comprises converting means for converting output power of the solar cell to power conforming to the load; first sensing means for sensing output power of said converting means...

The solar generator deduces the voltage at which maximum power is delivered by monitoring (17, 19) operating points to deduce the current-voltage characteristic, which allows direct determination (21) of the maximum power point. This voltage is supplied to...

A power converter is installed for each solar cell, and electric power having a low voltage and a relatively large electric current is input to the power converter, thereby reducing as much as possible the wiring work which greatly raises the cost of an el...

The output current value of a direct-current power source (1) obtained by low-frequency, minute modulation of the input voltage of a switching converter (2) is detected in a circuit (7b) having an amplification factor switching function that switches the a...

A power converter system includes: a circuit breaker (3a) having one terminal connected to a power system and another terminal connected to a load (20); a transformer (6a) for interconnection; a power converter (30); and a controller (50) for controlling t...
