Abstract

The invention discloses a minimum-voltage, active-clamp and three-phase grid-connected inverter, which comprises a DC inverter power supply, an AC filter inductor and a three-phase bridge arm. The three-phase bridge arm consists of 6 full-control master switches with anti-parallel diodes, an auxiliary switch with an anti-parallel diode is connected between the DC inverter power supply and the DC bus of the three-phase bridge arm, the two ends of the master switches and the auxiliary switch are all connected with a capacitor in parallel, and the two ends of the auxiliary switch are bridged with a resonance branch formed by serial connection of a resonance inductor and a clamp capacitor. The inverter of the invention has simple structure and adopts an improved space vector modulation method. When the power-factor angle of the grid-connected current of the inverter is between minus 30 degrees and plus 30 degrees , the zero-voltage switching-on of all the master switches can be realized through one action of the auxiliary switch in each switching period, the reverse recovery current of the anti-parallel diodes of the master switches are inhibited, and the switch voltage stress is equal to the voltage of the DC inverter power supply. Moreover, due to the low switching loss and high circuit efficiency, the invention facilitates the improvement of the operating frequency, thereby enhancing the power density.

[0017] Minimum voltage active clamp three-phase grid-connected inverter adopts space vector control. In a grid voltage power frequency cycle, the control of the inverter can be divided into 12 sectors, and the division of grid voltage and current sectors is as follows: Image 6 shown.

[0020] The minimum voltage active clamp inverter adopts a special space vector modulation strategy, and each grid voltage power frequency cycle is divided into 12 space vector sectors, and the absolute value of the AC grid-connected current of one phase is kept at the maximum in each sub-sector . The bridge arm switch that flows through the phase with the largest absolute value of current does not commutate. If the direction of the phase with the largest absolute value of the output filter inductor current is positive, the zero vector is If the absolute value of the current maximum phase direction is negative, then the zero vector is The switching sequence of the space vector ensures that the absolute value of the instantaneous output current of the inverter is small when the grid is connected to the grid. In the two-phase switching commutation, there is a diode reverse recovery. The two commutations are aligned in time, and the auxiliary circuit only needs to create the bus voltage once. The chance of resonating to zero can realize the zero-voltage turn-on of the two switches. When the grid-connected current power factor angle of the inverter is between plus and minus 30°, the zero-voltage turn-on of the inverter can be realized. The six main switches S in the inverter 1 ~S 6 and auxiliary switch S 7 Controlled by a space vector PWM controller with a fixed switching frequency, the auxiliary switch S 7 Switching frequency and fully controlled main switch S 1 ~S 6 same as the switching frequency, the auxiliary switch S 7 Only in inverter main switch S 1 ~S 6 Shutdown for brief periods of switching from zero vector to non-zero vector.
