Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage associated with the use of reverse blocking diodes is that the diodes are always connected in series to the corresponding string, so that the string current always flows through the diode and may result in higher continuous power losses due to the effect of the voltage drop across the diode junction
The use of diodes also creates an additional cost
The disadvantage associated with the use of circuit breakers is that circuit breakers cause additional costs that are higher than the cost of diodes or fuses

Abstract

A method and an arrangement for operating a photovoltaic system, and the photovoltaic system are provided. The photovoltaic system comprises a boost converter (10A, 10B) having a controllable duty ratio; at least two strings (20) of photovoltaic panels supplying an input of the boost converter (10A, 10B), wherein the strings are connected in parallel with each other; detection means (30, 31) configured to detect a reverse current in any of the strings (20); and control means (40) configured to increase, in response to the detection means detecting a reverse current in at least one of the strings (20), the duty ratio of the boost converter (10A, 10B) at least insomuch that the reverse current stops.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a photovoltaic system, an arrangement for controlling a photovoltaic system and a photovoltaic system. Background technique [0002] A photovoltaic generator may comprise, for example, two or more strings of photovoltaic (PV) panels (including one or more photovoltaic modules) connected in parallel to supply power to a common power converter. If one of such parallel connected strings becomes passive, i.e. its open circuit voltage is reduced due to, for example, severe shading or failure of a PV panel, that string can be considered by flowing in the opposite direction relative to the direction of normal operation current of one string to start absorbing and dissipating power generated by other strings connected in parallel to the same power converter. Therefore, such a current flowing in the opposite direction with respect to the direction of normal operation is called a reverse current. [0003] Especia...
