    摘要: A device for converting electrical power between a PV generator and an electrolyzer. The device has an inverter arranged between a first side thereof and a transformer, and an active rectifier is arranged between the transformer and a second side of the device, such that an AC side of the active rectifier and an AC side of the inverter are connected to one another via the transformer. The inverter is configured to convert a first DC voltage on the DC side of the inverter into a first AC voltage on the AC side of the inverter and the active rectifier is configured designed to convert a second AC voltage on the AC side of the active rectifier into a second DC voltage on the DC side of the active rectifier. The device has a controller configured to influence a power flow between the first side and the second side of the device from a connected PV generator to a connected electrolyzer by adjusting an AC/DC transformation ratio of the active rectifier between the second AC voltage and the second DC voltage.

    摘要: The disclosure is directed to an island network detection method using a voltage-impressing converter, and includes determining the frequency and phase of a voltage curve of a sub-network connected to a network connection point of the converter, and generating a voltage curve using a bridge circuit of the converter with the determined frequency. The method also includes determining a correlation between a first temporal variation and a second temporal variation of an output exchanged by the converter with the sub-network, and detecting an island network if the determined correlation undershoots a specified correlation measurement.

    摘要: A method and associated system for determining an operating parameter of a PV installation having a plurality of PV modules is disclosed. The PV modules each include a shutdown apparatus connected to a transmission apparatus of the PV installation and has a feed-in operation and a shutdown operation. At least one PV module is equipped with a power-optimizing device which is configured to set an operating point of the PV module in an optimizing operation. The method includes determining a first total electrical power of the PV modules in a non-optimizing operation of the at least one power-optimizing device and in the feed-in operation of the shutdown apparatuses, and determining a second total electrical power of the PV modules in the optimizing operation of all the power-optimizing devices and in the feed-in operation of the shutdown apparatuses. The method also includes determining the operating parameter using a difference between the determined first total electrical power and the determined second total electrical power.

    摘要: A method for measuring insulation resistance in an inverter that has a DC link circuit and a bridge circuit, connected to the DC link circuit, for driving an AC current via a bridge center tap is disclosed. The method includes connecting the bridge center tap to a grounding point, successively connecting, by way of the bridge circuit, the bridge center tap that is connected to the grounding point to two points of the ungrounded DC link circuit that differ in terms of voltage, and measuring the current flowing from the two points that differ in terms of voltage to the grounding point. The two points of the ungrounded DC link circuit that differ in terms of voltage are selected from a group of points that includes at least one intermediate voltage point of the DC link circuit in addition to two end points of the DC link circuit, such that the voltages present between the two points that differ in terms of voltage and the grounding point do not exceed a predefined voltage limit value.

    摘要: An explosion-proof housing for a power electronics unit includes a housing pan and a cover that closes the housing pan via a seal, wherein the cover and the housing pan are pressed against each other at two opposing sides formed by edge regions of the cover and the housing pan via a plurality of fasteners that are configured to be released by rotation and that engage in latching structures. The plurality of fasteners are arranged in a central third of the respective sides. The explosion-proof housing can be used, for example, for a photovoltaic inverter.
