Power balance control method of cascaded H-bridge photovoltaic grid-connected inverter

Abstract

The invention discloses a power balance control method of a cascaded H-bridge photovoltaic grid-connected inverter, and aims to enable a three-phase common direct-current bus cascaded H-bridge photovoltaic grid-connected inverter to still operate normally when output power between photovoltaic arrays is seriously unbalanced. The method comprises the following steps: controlling the voltage of N common direct-current buses; selecting the output power instruction values of the N common direct current buses; performing no-static-error control on a power grid current; judging the working mode of the system, and calculating modulation waves of all H bridges by adopting different modulation wave calculation methods; and controlling the output voltages of all the three-level full-bridge LLC converters. By the adoption of the method, when the modulation degree of some H-bridge converters is larger than 1.155, the system can still operate normally, and the capacity of the three-phase common-direct-current bus cascaded H-bridge photovoltaic grid-connected inverter for coping with power imbalance is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to photovoltaic power generation technology in the field of electrical engineering, and in particular relates to a power balance control method for cascaded H-bridge photovoltaic grid-connected inverters. Background technique [0002] According to the "Global Renewable Energy Status Report 2019", the new installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in 2018 was about 100GW, of which photovoltaic power plants with a power level greater than 5WM contributed about 50% of the installed capacity. In the future, large-scale photovoltaic power plants will still occupy a large market share. This is because the power generation cost per watt of high-power systems is lower than that of low-power systems, which will help realize photovoltaic power grid parity and become more commercially attractive. Compared with the centralized and string topology, the three-phase isolated cascaded H-bridge photovoltaic inverter has outstanding advant...
