Micro inverters are widely used in solar power generation system, wind power generation system and other fields. During operation, the inverter converts direct current emitted by solar panels or wind turbines into alternating current and outputs it to the grid. However, inverters in different working states may occur countercurrent phenomenon, that is, alternating current on the grid into direct current transmission to the inverter, then you need to take measures to prevent countercurrent.
In general, microinverters can be used to prevent reverse flow by:
Install the reverse blocker
A reverse blocker is a device specifically designed to prevent countercurrent, which can detect countercurrent and quickly cut off countercurrent current to protect the safe and stable operation of the inverter and the power grid.
Example Set the countercurrent protection function
Microinverters usually have built-in countercurrent protection, which prevents countercurrent by monitoring the countercurrent situation and taking timely measures. This protection function can automatically adjust the working state of the inverter according to the countercurrent situation to ensure the normal operation of the system.
Design a reasonable system interface
In the design of the inverter system, some measures can be taken to reduce the possibility of countercurrent, such as adding capacitors, inductors and other components to smooth the inverter output current waveform, and according to the characteristics of the power grid to carry out reasonable interface design to reduce the occurrence of countercurrent.
Use load controller
The load controller is a device that can actively control the load according to the countercurrent situation, and can adjust the working state of the load to reduce the influence of the countercurrent, so as to protect the safe operation of the inverter and the power grid.
In general, the anti-reverse flow problem of micro inverters needs to be considered and solved from many aspects, including the installation of reverse blockers, the setting of reverse flow protection functions, the design of reasonable system interfaces and the use of load controllers to ensure the safe and stable operation of inverters and power grids. Only in the case of effective prevention of countercurrent, the micro inverter can really play its due role, providing reliable guarantee for the operation of clean energy systems such as solar power generation systems and wind power generation systems.
