A small signal feedback loop or feed-forward loop having gain provides substantially unconditional instability in a phase locked loop when a reference phase signal is lost. The small signal feedback or feed-forward also modifies phase locked loop bandwidth when the reference phase signal is lost to increase rapidity of response to loss of reference phase signal while maintaining insensitivity to reference voltage amplitude change while the reference phase signal is present. The performance thus achieved is particularly suitable for rapid condition detection response and control of a grid connected power converter under islanding conditions.

The invention discloses a network synchronization method based on a socket fault-tolerant computing system. A monitor is set on a socket interface layer of a Linux network architecture through modifying a Linux operating system so as to monitor the socket communication correlation kernel function. When the duplication redundancy schedule performs the network communication through the socket way, the communication operation is intercepted at the socket interface layer and the synchronization logic is triggered. The synchronization logic is implemented by reconstructing the socket series kernel functions, and the duplication schedule enters the synchronization point and completes the synchronizing process when implementing the reconstructed kernel functions. The implementation of the method is simple without special custom hardware. The reconstructed operating system is suitable for common hardware architectures with strong commonality. The synchronization process is initiatively completed by the operating system, and is fully transparent to the upper application. The invention has better expandability, and can be expanded to a multimode redundancy system.

This invention presents a highly efficient harmonics free DC-AC power inverter using a pair of push-pull switches with feedback loop that acts as a voltage regulator. The feedback loop voltage regulator uses a series-shunt feedback amplifier to regulate the output voltage by amplifying the error signal between a pure sine wave referenced signal and the measured output voltage signal. A step-up low power transformer is used to step-up the triggering pulse at gates of the push-pull solid state switches to the desired rated output voltage so that the output voltage becomes harmonic free sine wave, but high voltage feedback amplifier, if feasible, maybe used without using the transformer. The reference signal may be synchronized with the grid for on grid applications, but it can also be used for stand alone loads. In order to optimally minimized the conduction power loss across the push-pull solid state switches of the DC-AC inverter, the positive voltage V+ and the negative voltage V− must be regulated and controlled, so that the voltage across the push-pull switches are minimized. Hence, two DC-DC converters are used to generate the regulated voltages V+ and V−. Each of those voltages is controlled using a feedback loop that drives the pwm of the DC-DC converter. At this point, the conduction power loss of the DC-AC push-pull solid state switches are optimally minimized, but the DC-DC converters are not. In order to minimize the conduction power loss of the DC-DC converters, two multilevel converters with n-array series voltage sources, or n-array series capacitors, are used. The voltage level at the top of each capacitor is carefully selected so that the overall conduction power loss of the DC-DC converters is minimized. The power conduction power loss proportional to the number of levels used but this comes at higher cost and complexity.

The invention relates to a three-phase photovoltaic inverter anti-islanding method based on phase angle deviation positive feedback, which comprises the steps as follows: carrying out disturbance to a power grid phase with T being used as a cycle, a disturbance phase angle for each time is delta theta under a grid synchronization condition of the inverter; and beginning to accumulate when a power grid voltage phase angle is 0 degree and assuming total accumulating n times within T, namely a current phase leading voltage is n*delta theta degrees, and calculating an error value delta f of the current frequency and the last periodic frequency of the power grid voltage, so that the error value is adopted as phase angle deviation positive feedback quantity. When islanding happens, the frequency of the current voltage is more than that of the last period, the delta f is positive, a control loop leads the plosive value into the positive feedback, the disturbance quantity is changed into n*delta theta+delta f at the moment, and equivalently, the forward disturbance is increased, so that the more the phase disturbance is, the more the voltage frequency deviation is, so as to form a forward deviation positive feedback system; and the system reports an overfrequency error until the frequency exceeds standard, so as to achieve the islanding protection purpose.
