Photovoltaic grid-connected inverter power supply selection guide

In medium and large-scale photovoltaic grid-connected power generation systems, the problem of difficult equipment selection is often encountered. How should the equipment be selected to match the entire system so that the system can reach its optimum state? After theoretical analysis and practical application, our company conducted systematic analysis and research on several situations encountered in the current domestic market, and provided the following types of selection principles and methods for reference.

First, the system selection guide

For mid- and large-scale photovoltaic grid-connected power generation systems, multiple parallel operation modes are selected. It is recommended to use the same specification and model power supply (convenient for system group control and data acquisition). Specific selection suggestions are:

1. Above 1MW photovoltaic power generation system: It is recommended to select multiple GSG250KC power supplies for parallel operation;

2, 500KW to 1MW system: It is recommended to select multiple GSG100KC power supply for parallel operation;

3, 200KW to 500KW photovoltaic power generation system: It is recommended to select multiple GSG50KC parallel operation;

4. Photovoltaic power generation system below 200KW: It is recommended to use multiple GSG20KC or GSG50KC power supplies for parallel operation.

Second, choose the advantages of parallel operation

The use of multiple parallel operations has many advantages. Some of these examples are as follows:

Third, the design process

Multiple grid-connected PV inverters are used in parallel to meet the total capacity requirement of the system:

Taking 10MW as an example, the 10MWp photovoltaic power station adopts a modular design scheme and uses 40 sets of 250kW high-power grid-connected inverters with an output voltage of 0.4kV, which can be directly incorporated into a low-voltage power grid or share a set of booster systems, using 10kV or 22kV. Or 35kV and other grid access schemes:

1, system composition

The large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power generation system is mainly composed of the following parts:

1) Photovoltaic matrix:

2. Photovoltaic modules:

Choose a photovoltaic module with excellent performance and reliable quality. The series open circuit voltage of the photovoltaic modules must be less than the open circuit voltage of the photovoltaic grid-connected inverters, and the rated voltage of the photovoltaic modules must be in line with the rated voltage of the photovoltaic grid-connected inverters.

3, support structure

The solar array supports are made of hot-dip galvanized steel structure, which can withstand winds above class 8 and have sufficient corrosion resistance. It can be used for 25 years.

Transmission And Distribution Pole

Steel poles are commonly used to carry several types of electric power lines, distribution lines and lighting system. Distribution lines carry power from local substations to customers. They generally carry voltages from 4.6 to 33kV for distances up to 30 miles, and include transformers to step the voltage down from the primary voltage to the lower secondary voltage used by the customer. A service drop carries this lower voltage to the customer's premises.
