DC PEAK POWER TRACKING DEVICES, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS

摘要

A control system, method, and device for managing variable power sources in DC power systems, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems. An electrical component can be configured to condition power from a photovoltaic (PV) panel such that current is drawn from the PV panel at a peak power continuously, at all times, or irrespective of current flux.

主权项

1. A photovoltaic (PV) panel device with power conditioning features, comprising:
a circuit configured to increase a voltage of the PV panel to an output voltage; an electronic power conditioner integrated into the PV panel which also includes a temperature sensor; the circuit being further configured to regulate the output voltage responsively to the temperature sensor such that current is drawn from the PV panel at a peak power irrespective of a current insolation flux; wherein the power conditioner is connected in parallel to other power conditioners which are then connected to at least one backup power generator and a backup battery including a battery.
