Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy technology, and in particular to a method and system for controlling charging time based on load-side capacity. Background Technology
[0002] The rapid development of new energy vehicles has significantly advanced the electrification and intelligentization of electric vehicles. Traditional 12V systems are no longer sufficient to meet the higher power requirements of modern electric vehicles; therefore, 48V systems are becoming the future trend. In 48V system scenarios, traditional low-voltage circuit breakers and fuses in automobiles are insufficient to meet the demands of increasingly complex circuits. To meet the performance indicators of the power distribution system, solid-state power control units are used to replace low-voltage circuit breakers and fuses. However, with the development of new energy vehicle power systems, the types and capacities of their loads are constantly increasing. New energy vehicle power systems include motor drive systems, on-board chargers, DC-DC converters, and high-power infotainment systems. New energy vehicle power systems contain many capacitive loads. Due to the charge conservation characteristics of capacitive loads, their voltage cannot change abruptly, resulting in a large current surge at the moment of switching on, which can easily cause the failure of switching devices. Especially for high-power capacitive loads, the use of solid-state power control units faces a significant current surge during startup.
[0003] Currently, to handle the significant current surge during startup of solid-state power control units, a current-limiting branch is typically used. For example, a current-limiting resistor is connected in series with a current-limiting power transistor. During startup, the current-limiting branch is activated to charge the capacitive load. After a certain time, the main branch is activated. Since the equivalent impedance of the main branch is much smaller than that of the current-limiting branch, the current-limiting branch can be short-circuited, thus achieving current limiting during startup. However, because the capacitive impedance of the load is unknown and the startup time of the current-limiting branch is fixed, power loss is high, the heat capacity of the current-limiting branch is wasted, and device damage may occur, resulting in low reliability. Furthermore, the fixed startup time of the current-limiting branch leads to additional power loss, thereby reducing system efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for controlling charging time based on the load-side capacitance value, so as to solve the problems of low system efficiency and reliability in the prior art.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions: The first aspect of this invention provides a method for controlling charging time based on load capacitance, comprising: Based on the solid-state power control unit circuit, a corresponding simulation model is established in the dynamic system modeling tool, and the fitting curve is determined through the simulation model. The fitting curve is used to indicate the relationship between the ratio of the preset real part of the load terminal and the capacitance value at different angular frequencies. The solid-state power control unit circuit is connected to the sampling circuit, the field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and the load terminal. The current-limiting branch in the solid-state power control unit circuit is turned on and off to generate current response signals and voltage signals at the load end. The current response signals and voltage signals are processed sequentially using sampling circuit, Fourier transform, FPGA and fitting curve to obtain the capacitance value at the load end. Based on the maximum value of multiple preset capacitance ranges, the resistance of the current-limiting branch, and the capacitance of the load, the turn-on time of the current-limiting branch is determined, and the turn-on time is controlled to enable the current-limiting branch to be turned on so that the capacitor at the load end can be fully charged.
[0006] A second aspect of the present invention provides a system for controlling charging time based on load-side capacitance, comprising: A module is established to create a corresponding simulation model in a dynamic system modeling tool based on the solid-state power control unit circuit, and to determine the fitting curve through the simulation model. The fitting curve is used to indicate the relationship between the ratio of the preset real part of the load terminal and the capacitance value at different angular frequencies. The solid-state power control unit circuit is connected to the sampling circuit, FPGA and load terminal. The processing module is used to control the opening and closing of the current-limiting branch in the solid-state power control unit circuit to generate current response signals and voltage signals at the load end. The current response signals and voltage signals are processed sequentially using sampling circuit, Fourier transform, FPGA and fitting curve to obtain the capacitance value at the load end. The control module is used to determine the turn-on time of the current-limiting branch based on the maximum value of multiple preset capacitance ranges, the resistance of the current-limiting branch, and the capacitance of the load end, and to control the turn-on of the current-limiting branch according to the turn-on time so that the capacitor at the load end can be charged.
[0007] A third aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device, the electronic device comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory and a bus connected to the processor; wherein the processor and the memory communicate with each other via the bus; the processor is configured to call program instructions in the memory to execute the method for controlling charging time based on load capacity of the first aspect or any optional embodiment of the first aspect described above.
[0008] Compared to existing technologies, the method and system for controlling charging time based on load-side capacitance provided by this invention establishes a corresponding simulation model in a dynamic system modeling tool based on the solid-state power control unit circuit, and determines a fitting curve through the simulation model. The fitting curve is used to indicate the relationship between the ratio of the preset real part of the load-side circuit and the capacitance value at different angular frequencies. The current-limiting branch in the solid-state power control unit circuit is controlled to turn on and off to generate current response signals and voltage signals at the load-side. The current response signals and voltage signals are processed sequentially using a sampling circuit, Fourier transform, FPGA, and fitting curve to obtain the capacitance value at the load-side. The on-time of the current-limiting branch is determined based on the maximum value of multiple preset capacitance ranges, the resistance of the current-limiting branch, and the capacitance value at the load-side. The on-time of the current-limiting branch is controlled to turn on according to the on-time, so that the capacitor at the load-side can be fully charged. In this way, by controlling the opening and closing of the current-limiting branch in the solid-state power control unit circuit, current response signals and voltage signals are acquired. Based on the existing solid-state power control unit circuit, without adding any additional circuits, the capacitance value at the load end is obtained by using sampling circuit, Fourier transform, FPGA and fitting curve. The opening time of the current-limiting branch is dynamically adjusted by using the capacitance value at the load end. This can effectively suppress the surge current during the opening process, improve the system efficiency, avoid additional power loss, reduce the heat capacity generated, and improve the reliability of the system.

[0010] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the invention and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0011] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention should have the ordinary meaning as understood by those skilled in the art.
[0012] The methods described in the embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail below.
[0013] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for controlling charging time based on load-side capacitance value in an embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. See also... Figure 1 As shown, the method for controlling charging time based on load capacitance can include: S101. Based on the solid-state power control unit circuit, establish the corresponding simulation model in the dynamic system modeling tool, and determine the fitting curve through the simulation model.
[0014] The fitted curve indicates the relationship between the ratio of the preset real part of the load terminal and the capacitance value at different angular frequencies. The solid-state power control unit circuit is connected to the sampling circuit, FPGA, and load terminal.
[0015] Specifically, establish an equivalent model for the load side. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the equivalent circuit model at the load end is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the equivalent model of the load includes the equivalent resistance. Equivalent capacitance and equivalent inductance Equivalent capacitance One end and equivalent resistance One end is connected, equivalent capacitance The other end is connected to the equivalent inductance One end is connected, equivalent resistance The other end is connected to the equivalent inductance The other end is connected. Based on the equivalent model of the load end, the internal impedance of the load end can be determined. The expression is: ; in, Pre-determine the real part for the load side. Pre-determine the imaginary part for the load side. The imaginary unit, ω is the angular frequency.
[0016] The internal impedance of the above load terminal Simplifying the expression, we obtain the load-side preset real part and load-side preset imaginary part as follows: ; Based on the expressions for the preset real and imaginary parts of the load terminal, it can be seen that under the condition that the load terminal remains unchanged, i.e., the magnitude of the internal impedance of the load terminal is constant, when the angular frequency... As the load-side preset real and imaginary parts change, a regular pattern emerges. Based on the expressions for the load-side preset real and imaginary parts, the relationship between the load-side preset real and equivalent resistance can be determined. Equivalent capacitance Equivalent inductance angular frequency The relationship in equivalent resistance Equivalent inductance Changing the angular frequency while keeping it constant This allows us to obtain the preset real part values of the load at different angular frequencies. Therefore, based on the solid-state power control unit circuit, a corresponding simulation model can be established in the dynamic system modeling tool, and the fitting curve can be determined through the simulation model.
[0017] Dynamic system modeling tools can include Simulink and Matlab.
[0018] For example, the simulation model uses typical industrial control parameters for electric vehicles: the total capacitance range of the load is set to 0-5000uF, and the inductance range is set to 0-500uH. Simultaneously, based on the actual situation where multiple loads in parallel in an electric vehicle cause a decrease in equivalent resistance, the resistance parameter is fixed at 84Ω to simulate typical resistance control in an electric vehicle. By changing the inductance and capacitance values in the typical resistance control of an electric vehicle, the ratio of the preset real parts under different capacitance values can be obtained. Based on the simulation model, the fitting curve between the ratio of the preset real parts of the load and the capacitance value at different angular frequencies can be determined. Figure 3 The fitted curves corresponding to the ratios of the preset real parts for different capacitance values are schematically shown. (See attached image) Figure 3 As shown, the vertical axis represents the capacitance value, and the horizontal axis represents the ratio of the preset real part of the load at different angular frequencies. Figure 3There are five curves with different inductance values: curves with circles, curves with squares, curves with asterisks, curves with inverted triangles, and curves with crosses. The inductance value of the curve with circles is 100uH, the inductance value of the curve with squares is 200uH, the inductance value of the curve with asterisks is 300uH, the inductance value of the curve with inverted triangles is 400uH, and the inductance value of the curve with crosses is 500uH. From these five curves with different inductance values, it can be seen that changing the value of the load-side capacitance, although the inductance values are different, the ratio between the preset real parts of the load-side capacitance is similar. Therefore, in actual solid-state power control unit circuits, by changing the angular frequency, the preset real and imaginary parts of the load-side capacitance can be obtained at different angular frequencies. Based on the ratio of the preset real parts of the load-side capacitance at different angular frequencies, the value of the load-side capacitance can be determined.

[0028] Step A3: Perform Fourier transform on the discrete current response signal and the discrete voltage signal to obtain the transformed current response signal and the transformed voltage signal.
[0029] Since FPGAs can only process discrete current response signals and discrete voltage signals, it is necessary to discretize the current response signals and voltage signals to obtain discrete current response signals and discrete voltage signals. In other words, it is necessary to discretize the aforementioned angular frequency signals. The expression for the impedance corresponding to the load terminal is transformed into a discrete form, and Fourier transforms are performed on the discrete current response signal and the discrete voltage signal. For example, for the signal... Discretization and Fourier transform are performed on the signal.

[0032] Step A5 uses an FPGA with discrete impedance expressions and multiple angular frequencies to determine the ratio of the target real part of the load at different angular frequencies.
[0033] Among them, several angular frequencies are different.
[0034] Specifically, step A5 includes: Step A51: Using an FPGA with discrete impedance expressions, determine the real part of the load at the target angular frequency.
[0035] The target angular frequency is different from multiple angular frequencies.

[0039] Step A53: Determine the ratio of the target real parts of the load at different angular frequencies based on the target real parts of the load at different angular frequencies.
[0040] Step A6: Substitute the ratio of the real part of the target at the load end at different angular frequencies into the fitted curve to obtain the capacitance value at the load end.
[0041] S103. Determine the turn-on time of the current-limiting branch based on the maximum value of multiple preset capacitance ranges, the resistance of the current-limiting branch, and the capacitance of the load end, and control the turn-on of the current-limiting branch according to the turn-on time so that the capacitor at the load end can complete charging.
[0042] After the current-limiting branch is activated, the power supply will first charge the capacitor at the load end through the current-limiting branch. At this time, the voltage and current across the load end are: ; ; in, The voltage across the load terminals. The voltage across the DC power supply. For the opening time, It is a time constant. , The resistor of the current-limiting branch, This is the capacitance value at the load end. This represents the current across the load terminals.
[0043] Differentiating the expressions for the voltage and current across the load terminals, we can derive the voltage transformation rate and current transformation rate corresponding to the capacitance at the load terminals: ; ; in, The voltage transformation rate corresponds to the capacitor at the load end. This is the current conversion rate corresponding to the capacitor at the load end.
[0044] When the time At this point, using the expressions for the voltage and current transformation rates corresponding to the capacitor at the load end, it can be determined that the voltage and current transformation rates at both ends of the load are zero. Therefore, there will be no surge current in the impedance measurement circuit. However, in practice, the turn-on time of the current-limiting branch cannot be infinitely long. Therefore, the following expression for the voltage transformation rate at the load end is used for judgment. When the voltage transformation rate at the load end is less than the parameter... When this happens, it is determined that the capacitor at the load end is fully charged. ; in, The voltage transformation rate at the load end. This is the voltage sample value at the load end. ,when At this time, the voltage across the capacitor at the load end is approximately 95% of the power supply voltage, confirming that the capacitor at the load end is fully charged. Therefore, the current-limiting branch can be controlled to turn on during the turn-on time, allowing the capacitor at the load end to fully charge.
[0045] Specifically, step S103 includes: Step B1: Determine multiple turn-on times corresponding to multiple preset capacitance ranges based on the maximum value of multiple preset capacitance ranges and the resistance of the current-limiting branch.
[0046] Multiple preset capacitance ranges can be 6 preset capacitance ranges. The load-side capacitance range is 0-5000uF, which can be divided into 6 preset capacitance ranges: 0-1400uF, 1400-2000uF, 2000-2600uF, 2600-3200uF, 3200-4000uF, and 4000-5000uF.
[0047] Specifically, step B1 includes: Step B11: Determine the corresponding time constants based on the maximum value of multiple preset capacitance ranges and the resistance of the current-limiting branch.
[0048] Based on the maximum values of the six preset capacitance ranges, namely 1400uF, 2000uF, 2600uF, 3200uF, 4000uF, and 5000uF, the six time constants corresponding to the maximum values of the six preset capacitance ranges are determined by multiplying them by the resistance of the current-limiting branch.
[0049] Step B12: Determine multiple activation times based on multiple time constants and preset values.
[0050] The preset value is set to 3. By multiplying the six time constants determined in step B11 by the preset value 3, the corresponding six turn-on times are obtained. The six turn-on times are 42.24ms, 60.48ms, 78.62ms, 96.77ms, 120.96ms, and 151.20ms. Using the formula for calculating turn-on losses in existing technology, the corresponding six turn-on losses are determined to be 1.6087W, 2.298W, 2.9878W, 3.677W, 4.5966W, and 5.7457W, respectively.
[0051] Step B2: Establish a correspondence table between multiple preset tolerance ranges and multiple activation times.
[0052] Based on six preset capacitance ranges and six determined activation times, a correspondence table is established between the six preset capacitance ranges and the six activation times. Table 1 shows the activation time and activation loss under different capacitance conditions. Table 1 contains the correspondence between the six preset capacitance ranges, six activation times, the ratio of the six preset real parts, the six capacitance conditions, and the six activation losses. Among them, the ratios of the six preset real parts are the ratios of the preset real parts of the load end at different angular frequencies in step S101. The preset real part ratios are 1:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:6 and 6:8, respectively, and the capacitance values are Case 1, Case 2, Case 3, Case 4, Case 5 and Case 6. Case 1 is the case where the preset capacitance value range is 0-1400uF, Case 2 is the case where the preset capacitance value range is 1400-2000uF, Case 3 is the case where the preset capacitance value range is 2000-2600uF, Case 4 is the case where the preset capacitance value range is 2600-3200uF, Case 5 is the case where the preset capacitance value range is 3200-4000uF, and Case 6 is the case where the preset capacitance value range is 4000-5000uF.
[0053] Table 1. Turn-on time and turn-on loss under different capacitance values
[0054] Step B3: Determine the target preset capacitance range corresponding to the capacitance value of the load end.
[0055] Among them, multiple preset tolerance ranges include the target preset tolerance range.
[0056] For example, when the capacitance value at the load end is 1500uF, the target preset capacitance value range corresponding to 1500uF can be determined to be 1400-2000uF.
[0057] Step B4: In the corresponding relationship table, find the activation time corresponding to the target preset tolerance range.
[0058] Following the example in step B3, the activation time for 1400-2000uF is 60.48ms.
[0059] Step B5: Control the current-limiting branch to turn on according to the turn-on time so that the capacitor at the load end can be fully charged.
[0060] Following the example in step B4, the current-limiting branch is turned on based on an on-time of 60.48ms to allow the capacitor at the load end to complete charging.
[0061] The effectiveness of the method for controlling charging time by the load-side capacitance proposed in this invention is verified through the following simulation experiments.

Figures 5 to 10 As shown, the horizontal axis represents turn-on time, and the vertical axis represents current amplitude. Capacitors of 940uF, 1670uF, 2400uF, 2870uF, 3560uF, and 4500uF were turned on in the unlimited current branch. With the increase in the capacitance at the load end, the amplitude and oscillation degree of the surge current also increase, reaching a maximum turn-on surge current of 76A. Such excessively large surge currents can cause significant impact on the components in the solid-state power control unit circuit, leading to component breakdown and subsequent current damage, severely affecting the reliability and stability of the system.

Figures 11 to 16 As shown, the horizontal axis represents turn-on time, and the vertical axis represents current amplitude. Under the current limiting strategy, the inrush current was significantly suppressed when capacitors of 940uF, 1670uF, 2400uF, 2870uF, 3560uF, and 4500uF were turned on. By precisely controlling the turn-on time of the current-limiting branch, the maximum inrush current was successfully limited to within 13A, reducing the inrush current amplitude by 83%. Compared to not using this current limiting strategy, the current oscillation amplitude was significantly reduced after adopting the current limiting strategy, effectively avoiding damage to the solid-state power control unit circuit components caused by excessive inrush current.

[0065] Based on the above Figure 1 As can be seen from the implementation method, the embodiments of the present invention establish a corresponding simulation model in a dynamic system modeling tool based on the solid-state power control unit circuit, and determine the fitting curve through the simulation model. The fitting curve is used to indicate the relationship between the ratio of the preset real part of the load end and the capacitance value at different angular frequencies. The current limiting branch in the solid-state power control unit circuit is controlled to turn on and off to generate current response signals and voltage signals at the load end. The current response signals and voltage signals are processed sequentially using sampling circuit, Fourier transform, FPGA and fitting curve to obtain the capacitance value at the load end. The turn-on time of the current limiting branch is determined according to the maximum value of multiple preset capacitance value ranges, the resistance of the current limiting branch and the capacitance value at the load end, and the turn-on time of the current limiting branch is controlled according to the turn-on time to enable the capacitor at the load end to complete charging. In this way, by controlling the opening and closing of the current-limiting branch in the solid-state power control unit circuit, current response signals and voltage signals are acquired. Based on the existing solid-state power control unit circuit, without adding any additional circuits, the capacitance value at the load end is obtained by using sampling circuit, Fourier transform, FPGA and fitting curve. The opening time of the current-limiting branch is dynamically adjusted by using the capacitance value at the load end. This can effectively suppress the surge current during the opening process, improve the system efficiency, avoid additional power loss, reduce the heat capacity generated, and improve the reliability of the system.
