A maximum power point tracking method includes: configuring a voltage tuning direction of a power converter by a process circuit such that the input voltage of the power converter changes in a positive or a negative trend; detecting the corresponding input voltage and input current of the power converter sequentially to obtain multiple powers; and when the powers decrease for N times continuously, change the voltage tuning direction of the power converter such that the change of the input voltage switches from positive trend to negative trend, or from negative trend to positive trend, in which N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

Maximum power point tracking method and system thereof

A hybrid DC-to-AC conversion system includes a first DC input voltage, a second DC input voltage, a power conversion apparatus, and a comparison unit. The power conversion apparatus is connected in parallel to the first DC input voltage and the second DC input voltage to convert the first DC input voltage or the second DC input voltage into an AC output voltage. The comparison unit receives the AC output voltage and an external reference voltage. The comparison unit outputs a control signal to make the first DC input voltage supply a load when an absolute value of the AC output voltage is less than or equal to the external reference voltage, whereas the comparison unit outputs the control signal to make the second DC input voltage supply the load when the absolute value of the AC output voltage is greater than the external reference voltage.
