Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power converters in the power electronics direction, and particularly relates to a reconfigurable series-parallel grid-forming converter with strong overcurrent capacity and a construction method thereof. Background Technique

[0002] The statements in this part only provide background technical information related to the present invention, and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Grid-connected converters are required in applications such as photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, grid-connected energy storage, electric vehicle chargers / pile chargers, high-voltage AC / DC power transmission, power quality management, and microgrids, and they undertake the task of AC / DC power conversion. According to the grid support function, grid-connected converters can be divided into two categories: grid-following converters and grid-forming converters. Among them, grid-following converters are equivalent to controlled current sources, and grid-forming converters are equivalent to controlled voltage sources. The latter has advantages such as seamless grid-connected / off-grid switching, good weak grid stability, programmable inertia and damping, and automatic multi-machine synchronization, and plays a crucial role in modern power grids.

[0004] Strong overcurrent is one of the key challenges still faced by grid-forming converters. According to the requirements of standards and grid guidelines, grid-forming converters need to bear an overcurrent of about 3 times for 10 s, while the overcurrent capacity of power semiconductor devices and magnetic components does not exceed 1.5 times the rated value, and there is an irreconcilable conflict between the two. To improve the overcurrent capacity, existing grid-forming converter products are usually composed of several converters connected in parallel, which have disadvantages such as high cost, large volume, heavy weight, low efficiency, and complex control.

[0005] In addition, existing methods for improving the overcurrent capacity of grid-forming converters mostly target power semiconductor devices, cannot solve the problem of saturation of magnetic components such as filter inductors, and the regulation cost of related drive circuits is high and the design is complex, making it difficult to be universal and standardized. Summary of the Invention To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a reconfigurable series-parallel grid-forming converter with strong overcurrent capacity and a construction method thereof. The present invention uses bidirectional switches to connect modules according to certain rules, so that the modules can be reconfigured into series or parallel operating states in real time according to grid requirements. Compared with traditional grid-forming converters, the present invention significantly improves the overcurrent capacity of grid-forming converters without increasing the number of modules, and has a simple structure and ductility.

[0006] According to some embodiments, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In the first aspect, the present invention provides a construction method of a reconfigurable series-parallel grid-forming converter with strong overcurrent capacity.

[0007] The construction method of a reconfigurable series-parallel grid-forming converter with strong overcurrent capacity includes: Connect the corresponding two ends of at least two modules together through a bidirectional switch respectively, and connect a group of non-corresponding two ends of these two modules together through another bidirectional switch, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0008] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an example of a reconfigurable series-parallel grid-connected converter with strong overcurrent capacity.

[0009] The reconfigurable series-parallel grid-connected converter with strong overcurrent capacity adopts the construction method of the reconfigurable series-parallel grid-connected converter described in the first aspect, and connects at least two Figure 2a as shown in the bidirectional switches to connect at least two Figure 1c as shown in the H-bridge modules to form Figure 6 the reconfigurable series-parallel grid-connected converter shown; including: at least three bidirectional switches, at least two H-bridge modules, at least two output terminals; Among them, the first port of the first H-bridge module is connected to the first port of the second H-bridge module through the first bidirectional switch, the second port of the first H-bridge module is connected to the second port of the second H-bridge module through the second bidirectional switch, and the second port of the first H-bridge module is connected to the first port of the second H-bridge module through the third bidirectional switch; The first port of the first H-bridge module is the first output port of the grid-connected converter, and the second port of the second H-bridge module is the second output port of the grid-connected converter.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: Compared with the traditional grid-connected converter, the present invention can reconfigure the converter into a series or parallel operation state of the modules in real time as needed; significantly improve the overcurrent capacity of the converter without increasing the number of modules; the voltage can be evenly distributed among the modules and more levels can be output in the series operation state; the current can be evenly distributed among the modules in the parallel operation state, avoiding the saturation of power semiconductor devices and magnetic components (including filter inductors); the converter has a simple structure and is easy to standardize.
