Miro Tool
In large photovoltaic plant where there are modular inverters, for example composed by two or more modules in
parallel, the conversion efficiency can be optimized using only the minimum number of modules needed to deliver
the power coming from the strings. The "Miro" toggles the modules and their line contactor to the output to be
delivered and requires no additional body (contactor DC).
Miro
Under conditions of low irradiance, the efficiency of each
inverter decreases sharply to values of less than about 25%
of its rated power. The voltage output characteristic of
photovoltaic cells, also exhibits a maximum which becomes
less pronounced with decreasing irradiation and reading of
the current string is gradually less accurate. These factors
reduce the efficiency of MPPT algorithm. It follows that from
the standpoint of efficiency, the division into sections is
most advantageous when the radiation decreases and
becomes instead more convenient configuration with a
single inverter.
