The present disclosure relates to the photovoltaic field, and specifically to a method and device for detecting insulation impedance of a photovoltaic inverter.
As compared with small electronic devices, an input voltage of a photovoltaic grid-connected inverter is relatively high. For example, the maximum input voltage of a high-power photovoltaic grid-connected inverter can be 600V. Open-air photovoltaic arrays are susceptible to dust, rain, snow, wind, and the like, thereby significantly affecting the insulation degree of two photovoltaic input ends to the earth. The detection of insulation impedance plays a vital role in personal safety. The photovoltaic grid-connected inverter must be detected for insulation impedance (Riso) of photovoltaic input arrays, so as to determine whether it can be started up. If the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter cannot be started up, its fault point must be found and eliminated in time.
Double-path DCDC insulation impedance is mutually restricted during detection. If a first path of photovoltaic input is in operation, a second path of photovoltaic input is electrically connected. Directly performing insulation impedance on the second path of photovoltaic input is prone to cause insensitivity to detection of insulation impedance and misinformation.
For the problem in relevant technologies that insulation detection is inaccurate when two paths of photovoltaic input are grid-connected, no effective solution has been put forward at present.
The present disclosure provides a method and device for detecting insulation impedance of a photovoltaic inverter, which resolves at least the problem in the prior art that insulation detection is inaccurate when two paths of photovoltaic input are grid-connected.
To resolve the technical problem, according to one aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for detecting insulation impedance of a photovoltaic inverter is provided, where the photovoltaic inverter has two paths of photovoltaic input. The method includes: detecting, after a first path of photovoltaic input is electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, whether a second path of photovoltaic input needs to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter; if the second path of photovoltaic input needs to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, causing the first path of photovoltaic input to stop operating, and then detecting insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input; judging whether the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input satisfies a preset impedance condition; and if the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input satisfies the preset impedance condition, causing the second path of photovoltaic input to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, and causing the first path of photovoltaic input and the second path of photovoltaic input to perform grid-connected operation.
In some embodiments, before connecting the first path of photovoltaic input to the photovoltaic inverter, the method further includes: causing a unit in which the photovoltaic inverter is located to perform initialization configuration; and causing the unit to perform safety self-test, and performing mode configuration after the safety self-test passes.
In some embodiments, after the performing mode configuration, the method further includes: judging whether an input voltage satisfies a preset voltage condition; and if the input voltage satisfies the preset voltage condition, causing the first path of photovoltaic input to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter.

In some embodiments, the causing a unit in which the photovoltaic inverter is located to perform initialization configuration includes: causing resetting of each IO port and assigning an initial value to each variable.
In some embodiments, the causing the unit to perform safety self-test includes at least one of the following: detecting whether power grid frequency is normal, detecting whether an AD sampling bias voltage needs to be calibrated, and detecting whether leakage current exceeds a limit.
In some embodiments, the method further includes: detecting, when the first path of photovoltaic input and the second path of photovoltaic input are not electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, whether the first path of photovoltaic input and the second path of photovoltaic input need to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter; if the first path of photovoltaic input and the second path of photovoltaic input need to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, detecting insulation impedance of the first path of photovoltaic input, and judging whether the insulation impedance of the first path of photovoltaic input satisfies the preset impedance condition; if the insulation impedance of the first path of photovoltaic input satisfies the preset impedance condition, detecting the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input, and judging whether the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input satisfies the preset impedance condition; and if the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input satisfies the preset impedance condition, causing the first path of photovoltaic input and the second path of photovoltaic input to perform grid-connected operation.
According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a device for detecting insulation impedance of a photovoltaic inverter is provided, and the photovoltaic inverter has two paths of photovoltaic input. The device includes: a connection detecting module, configured to: detect, after a first path of photovoltaic input is electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, whether a second path of photovoltaic input needs to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter; an insulation impedance detecting module electrically connected to the connection detecting module, configured to:detect, after the first path of photovoltaic input stops operating, insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input; a judging module electrically connected to the insulation impedance detecting module, configured to: judge whether the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input satisfies a preset impedance condition; and a control module electrically connected to the judging module, configured to: cause the second path of photovoltaic input to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, and cause the first path of photovoltaic input and the second path of photovoltaic input to perform grid-connected operation.

Exemplary embodiments are explained in detail herein, and their examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following descriptions refer to the drawings, same numbers in different drawings indicate same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not indicate all the embodiments identical to those of the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are only examples of devices and methods identical to those in some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
In a first embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for detecting insulation impedance of a photovoltaic inverter is provided, and applied to a photovoltaic inverter with two paths of photovoltaic input.
In the foregoing structure,
In the embodiments, a method for detecting insulation impedance of two paths of photovoltaic input is provided. The method includes: connecting, when one path of photovoltaic input is in normal operation, the other path of photovoltaic input; detecting, after a first path of photovoltaic input stops operating, insulation impedance of a second path of photovoltaic input, and then judging the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input; and operating two paths of photovoltaic input at the same time after the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input is detected. The first path of photovoltaic input is disconnected so that detection results of the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input are more accurate, which effectively resolves the problem that insulation detection is inaccurate when two paths of photovoltaic input are grid-connected, thereby increasing the safety of the inverter.
Before connecting the first path of photovoltaic input to the photovoltaic inverter, the method further includes: causing a system in which the photovoltaic inverter is located to perform initialization configuration; and causing the unit to perform safety self-test, and performing mode configuration after the safety self-test passes. After the performing mode configuration, the method further includes: judging whether an input voltage satisfies a preset voltage condition; and if the input voltage satisfies the preset voltage condition, trigger the first path of photovoltaic input to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter.
The step of judging whether an input voltage satisfies a preset voltage condition includes: detecting whether the input voltage is greater than a preset first input voltage; if the input voltage is greater than the preset first input voltage, determining that the input voltage satisfies the preset voltage condition; or if the input voltage is less than the preset first input voltage, detecting, after a preset delay, whether the input voltage is less than a preset second input voltage, where the preset second input voltage is less than the preset first input voltage; and if the input voltage is less than the preset second input voltage, determining that the input voltage does not satisfy the preset voltage condition. the step of causing a unit in which the photovoltaic inverter is located to perform initialization configuration includes: causing resetting of each IO port and assigning an initial value to each variable. The step of causing the unit to perform safety self-test includes at least one of the following: detecting whether power grid frequency is normal, detecting whether an AD sampling bias voltage needs to be calibrated, and detecting whether leakage current exceeds a preset limit.
Specifically, after the inverter is powered on, a plurality of steps need to be used to detect whether the hardware of the unit is normal, so as to ensure the normal operation of the unit. Initialization configuration of unit operation is mainly to reset each IO port controlled by a CPU (central processing unit) and assign an initial value to each variable. Temperature drift and zero drift cause detection values of a current sensor and a voltage sensor to have relatively large errors. Generally, when the current sensor and the voltage sensor are powered on, the detection values are calibrated to ensure their precision. According to detection regulations of single fault in safety standards of an inverter (IEC 62109-2), a leakage current sensor needs to be self-tested to judge whether the leakage current sensor is damaged before powered on and can detect leakage current exceeding a limit. To cope with different application scenarios, a plurality of modes are configured for the unit, such as change of PWM modulation mode, photovoltaic restart function, air conditioning mode, or inverter mode. If a user has no configuration, the unit runs normally based on default configuration.
After the initialization, the system can execute three cases: connecting only one of two paths of photovoltaic input, connecting two paths of photovoltaic input at the same time, and connecting one path of photovoltaic input and the other path of photovoltaic input successively.
In actual cases, the change of environment causes a change in photovoltaic input voltage. In addition, MMPT judges whether photovoltaic input is started only depending on an open-circuit voltage lower limit, which is prone to cause repeated restart of photovoltaic input. In view of this, a method for determining whether photovoltaic input voltage satisfies a condition is further provided in an first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically,
The open-circuit voltage hysteresis detection is added, so that the open-circuit voltage fluctuates without the restart of the photovoltaic inverter, thereby avoiding repeated restart of the photovoltaic inverter when the photovoltaic open-circuit voltage changes near the lower limit.
Based on the method for detecting insulation impedance of a photovoltaic inverter provided in the first embodiment, a device for detecting insulation impedance of a photovoltaic inverter is provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically,
a connection detecting module 602, configured to: detect, after a first path of photovoltaic input is electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, whether a second path of photovoltaic input needs to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter;
an insulation impedance detecting module 604 electrically connected to the connection detecting module 602, configured to: detect, after the first path of photovoltaic input stops operating, insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input;
a judging module 606 electrically connected to the insulation impedance detecting module 604, configured to: judge whether the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input satisfies a preset impedance condition; and
a control module 608 electrically connected to the judging module 606, configured to: cause the second path of photovoltaic input to be electrically connected to the photovoltaic inverter, and cause the first path of photovoltaic input and the second path of photovoltaic input to perform grid-connected operation.
In the embodiments, a method for detecting insulation impedance of two paths of photovoltaic input is provided. The method includes: connecting, when one path of photovoltaic input is in normal operation, the other path of photovoltaic input; detecting, after a first path of photovoltaic input stops operating, insulation impedance of a second path of photovoltaic input, and then judging the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input; and operating two paths of photovoltaic input at the same time after the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input is detected. The first path of photovoltaic input is disconnected so that detection results of the insulation impedance of the second path of photovoltaic input are more accurate, which effectively resolves the problem that insulation detection is inaccurate when two paths of photovoltaic input are grid-connected, thereby increasing the safety of the inverter.
