Voltage converter and operating method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a voltage converter which is used for converting direct-current voltage output by a direct-current power supply into alternating voltage provided for an alternating-current load. The voltage converter comprises a bypass unit, a boosted circuit, a first energy-storage filtering unit, a voltage-reduction circuit and an inverter circuit. The boosted circuit, the first energy-storage filtering unit, the voltage-reduction circuit and the inverter circuit are sequentially parallelly connected between the direct-current power supply and the alternating-current load. The bypass unit is used for bypassing the boosted circuit when the direct-current voltage is not smaller than the absolute value of an instantaneous value of the power grid voltage. The inverter circuit actuates at power frequency in each work cycle of the alternating-current voltage. The booster circuit operates only when the direct-current voltage is smaller than the absolute value of instantaneous value of the power grid voltage. Compared with the prior art, the voltage converter is wide in direct-current voltage working range, high in converting efficiency and low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of power electronics, and in particular relates to a voltage converter for converting DC voltage into AC voltage and an operating method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the increasing depletion of energy, renewable energy power generation technologies, such as photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation, have received widespread attention, in which the unstable power generated by renewable energy is converted into stable AC power for AC loads or AC power grids. The device is particularly important, and must adapt to various working conditions where the input voltage varies within a wide range, while achieving efficient energy conversion. [0003] As far as photovoltaic inverters are concerned, they can be divided into isolated and non-isolated types. Among them, non-isolated inverters with high efficiency and low cost have received the most attention. Commonly used non-isolated inverters use ...
