Select PWM controller or MPPT controller

In the solar power generation system, it is mainly composed of PV module, storage battery, solar controller and load. Although the cost of solar energy controller is only a small part of the PV system, the choice of the controller can optimize the system to a large extent.At present, the popular solar controller on the market is mainly ordinary solar controller, PWM solar controller and MPPT solar controller. Ordinary solar controller is the first generation technology, due to the factors of the internal resistance of battery, it is difficult to charge batteries fully, and solar panels is not fully utilized, the MPPT tracking efficiency is only 70%-76%, so it has been out of the market. PWM solar controller is the most popular used, solar MPPT controller is nowadays trend, so more and more people in the industry have to make a choice between PWM solar controller and MPPT solar controller.
PWM solar controller is the second generation technology, it use the PWM control mode, compared with ordinary solar controller, has been improved a lot. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is an effective technique to control analog circuits by digital output. In the PWM solar controller, the battery pack is not only the storage of the electric energy, but also the voltage regulator of the solar system. Real time monitoring of battery potential by controller, and the number of potential solar access control or cut out of the sub matrix (or duty cycle rate), so as to adjust the charging current charge into the battery, in order to control the battery potential; The load obtains a relatively stable voltage from both ends of the battery pack. PWM solar controller can solve the problem of battery dissatisfaction, MPPT tracking efficiency of 75 ~ 80%, but the solar panels are still not fully utilized.
Solar MPPT charge controller is the third generation technology, is now the most high-end solar controller, the current use is relatively little, but very hot in the industry. MPPT solar controller, referring to the “maximum power point tracking” function, is the upgrading of PWM solar controller. The MPPT solar controller can detect the voltage and current of the solar panel in real time, and continuously track the maximum power (P=U*I), so that the system can always charge the battery with the maximum power. The tracking efficiency of MPPT is 99%, and the efficiency of the whole system is up to 97%, and the battery charging phase can be divided into MPPT charging, constant voltage equalizing charging and constant voltage floating charging.
In theory, the efficiency of the solar power generation system using MPPT controller will be 50% higher than the efficiency of solar controller using traditional one, but in the test, there is the impact of the surrounding environment and a variety of energy loss, though the efficiency did not reach the theoretical value, but also can improve 20%-30%. As the promotion of photovoltaic technology , coupled with energy saving and cost saving concept, I believe there will be more and more people in the industry tend to MPPT solar controller.

Correct selection of backup time for UPS

图片
UPS backup time is generally a problem concerned by customer in the purchase process. Usually most people prefer to choose the  UPS  which power backup the longer the better, in fact, this is not correct. We must firstly clear that the seller will usually have standard type UPS and long-acting UPS. Standard type UPS with built-in battery, after a power interruption can supply power to the load equipment in general for a few minutes to tens of minutes, of course, the length of time depends on the load. Long acting UPS can not only meet the power requirement of load, but also meet the requirements of customers and work types and so on, so the long-term UPS is usually equipped with an external battery pack. If the client is not particularly strict to the work condition of the load, and the power of the load is not particularly large, usually with standard type UPS would be enough. Because the choice of long backup time UPS is bound to increase the number of battery groups an...

126th Canton Fair

图片
On Oct 15th 2019, as one of the most important trade promotion platforms for Chinese enterprises to expand the global market, Canton Fair in Guangzhou focused on highlighting innovation driven, and “independent brand” became a high-frequency word of Canton Fair. Xu Bing, a spokesman for the Canton Fair and deputy director of the China Foreign Trade Center, said that the domestic and foreign environment faced by China’s foreign trade development this year is more complex and uncertain. The majority of exhibitors accelerated quality improvement and innovation, and continued to make efforts in technology research and development, product innovation, brand cultivation, etc., with high technology, high quality, high added value and independent brand products emerging. Many independent innovative R & D products are welcomed by the market. At the same time, purchasers are less sensitive to price and pay more attention to the technology, brand, quality and service of products. In ...

How to maximize the efficiency of your UPS

图片
1.Use of AC voltage regulator After using  UPS power supply , there is no need to add AC voltage regulator. If it must be added, it should be added to the front level of UPS, that is, the mains power first passes through the AC voltage regulator, then through the ups, and then to the load. 2.Battery balanced charging skills At present, valve regulated lead-acid battery (VRLA) used in many ups power supply is called maintenance free battery from the beginning, which gives users a misunderstanding that it seems that this battery is durable and does not need maintenance at all. Under this kind of misleading, many users have not carried out maintenance and management since they installed the battery. When the battery in UPS power supply meets the following conditions, the battery shall be charged evenly: when the terminal voltage is lower than the specified calibration voltage due to excessive discharge. For 12 V small sealed lead-acid batteries, the discharge calibration voltage is...
