[0060] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0061] The core of the present application is to provide a filter inductance determination method, device, equipment and medium, to solve the problem of high cost and large space occupied by the large inductance of the filter inductance in the conventional power inverter system.

[0062] In order to make the person in the art better understand the present application scheme, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0063] The power of the conventional three-level system single photovoltaic inverter or energy storage converter is getting larger and larger, the required converter output current is getting larger and larger, and the single power topology needs to handle larger power requirements, the power module needs larger packaging and larger filter inductance, which makes the system cost higher. The multi-level inverter system provided by the present application makes the inverter topology parallel, when the carrier wave of the inverter topology is staggered, the working frequency of the filter inductance of the overall inverter output is 2 times the switching frequency of the power tube, which is beneficial to reduce the size and weight of the filter inductance of the inverter topology output, and reduces the system cost. However, in the design process, the inductance value of the filter inductance is specific, and the inductance determination method of the filter inductance provided by the present application can solve the above technical problems.

[0064] Figure 1 A flow chart of a filter inductance determination method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 The method is applied to a multi-level inverter system, the multi-level inverter system includes a coupling inductance, a filter inductance and at least two bridge arms in parallel relationship; the output ends of the at least two bridge arms are connected to the coupling inductance, and the coupling inductance is connected to the filter inductance; the modulation waves of the at least two bridge arms are out of phase by 180°, and the method includes:

[0065] S11: establishing a target state equation between the coupling inductance, the filter inductance and the grid voltage corresponding to each bridge arm;

[0066] S12: determining the branch current of the coupling inductance output winding of each bridge arm and the target current of the filter inductance according to the target state equation;

[0067] S13: determining the ripple current variation of the filter inductance according to the branch current and the target current;

[0068] S14: determining the inductance of the filter inductance based on the ripple current variation of the filter inductance.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 2 A structure diagram of a single-phase multi-level inverter system with two bridge arms in parallel is provided for an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2As shown, the multi-level inverter system includes a coupling inductor, a filter inductor and at least two bridge arms in parallel. The output end of the bridge arm is connected to the coupling inductor, and the coupling inductor is further connected to the filter inductor. The coupling inductor enables the current between the at least two bridge arms to be mutually compensated, reducing the amount of current change that each bridge arm needs to handle, which means that the filter inductor of each bridge arm can be reduced. Through the carrier interleaving technology of the modulation waves of the bridge arms with a phase difference of 180°, the ripple current of the output current is reduced. While achieving the reduction of the inductance of the filter inductor, the occupied space is reduced and the system cost is reduced. Figure 3 A structural diagram of a single-phase multi-level inverter system with more than two bridge arms in parallel is provided for an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, a coupling inductor is connected to the output end of each two bridge arms in parallel, and all the coupling inductors are connected to the same filter inductor.

[0070] Based on this structure, taking two bridge arms in parallel as an example, Figure 2 The structure corresponding to the dashed box in is that the DC+ side, the DC- side and the DCN side of the A bridge arm and the B bridge arm are connected in parallel, and the bridge arm outputs of the two bridge arms are connected to the two input windings of the coupling inductor Lcouple. The output windings of Lcouple are connected in parallel and then connected to the filter inductor Lfilter in series. The two are connected in series, and the connection point of the two is connected to the filter capacitor Cfilter. The other end of the filter capacitor Cfilter is connected to the DCN. The other end of the filter capacitor Cfilter is connected to the DCN. The other end of the filter capacitor Cfilter is connected to the DCN. Figure 4 A structural diagram of a three-phase multi-level inverter system is provided for an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, there are three groups of AB modules and Lcouple, , which constitute a three-phase inverter circuit. The inverter output AC filter circuit is composed of and, which realizes the overall AC output current as a power frequency sine wave current output.

[0071] In the 180° phase difference of the modulation waves of the two bridge arms, the modulation waves of the output currents of the two bridge arms in parallel are the same, and the power frequency phases are the same, Figure 5 A carrier and modulation wave diagram corresponding to the first switch tube and the fourth switch tube under the bridge arm A is provided for an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the phase shift is viewed as a triangular wave, and the modulation wave is a sine line. If the sine line is greater than the triangular wave, it is determined that the corresponding PWM wave output is high. Figure 6 ​​​A schematic diagram of the carrier and modulation waves corresponding to the fifth and eighth switches under bridge arm B is provided for an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, if the sine wave is greater than the triangular wave, the corresponding PWM wave output is high. Combined with... Figure 5 and Figure 6 Notice that the first switch in bridge arm A and the fifth switch in bridge arm B have their respective carriers, carry1 and carry3, phase-shifted by 180°. Similarly, the fourth switch in bridge arm A and the eighth switch in bridge arm B have their respective carriers, carry2 and carry4, phase-shifted by 180°. The modulated wave and carriers intersect, generating PWM waves for the first and fourth switches in bridge arm A, and for the fifth and eighth switches in bridge arm B, based on the area equivalence principle and natural sampling. The PWM waves of the second and third switches in bridge arm A are complementary to the PWM waves of the fourth and first switches in their respective modules, respectively. The relationship between the switches in bridge arm B is similar. Considering the risk of simultaneous switching, a dead time is inserted between the complementary switches.

[0072] because The inductance is small, and its voltage drop is low; for ease of calculation, it is negligible. The impact on high-frequency computing, i.e., the effect of filter capacitors voltage on equal to grid voltage . Figure 7 This invention provides a schematic diagram of the coupled winding branch currents of two bridge arms at two different times, as shown in the embodiment of the invention. Figure 7 As shown, during the period t1-t2, the output state of bridge arm A is P, and the output state of bridge arm B is O. Analysis is performed during this period; the bus voltage is defined as... The voltage across the coupling inductor of bridge arm A is The current in the coupled winding branch is The voltage across the coupling inductor of bridge arm B is The current in the coupled winding branch is ; Filter inductor The voltage across the terminals is Combining Figure 7 Let's look at the bus voltage. The voltage marked between DC+ and DC- in the diagram represents the DC power input for the entire circuit. The voltage across the coupling inductor of bridge arm A is also shown. This is the voltage across the coupled inductor of the Lcoupler, specifically the voltage between one end of the inductor (connected to point P) and the other end (connected to point O). The coupled winding branch current. , is the current flowing through the coupled inductor Lcouple, which flows from point P to point O. The voltage across the coupled inductor of bridge arm B. , is the voltage across the coupled inductor Lcouple. The current in the coupled winding branch. This is the current flowing through the coupling inductor Lcouple, from point P to point O. Since both bridge arms share the same coupling inductor, it is actually the same current, only the setting is for different bridge arms and different times. (Filter inductor) voltage across the two ends It is a filter inductor. The voltage across the two ends of the inductor is the voltage between one end (connected to point O) and the other end (connected to the AC side).

[0073] Step S11 establishes the target state equations relating the coupled inductors, filter inductors, and mains voltage for each bridge arm. This is achieved by combining Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws. By combining Kirchhoff's laws with the characteristics of inductors, a precise dynamic model of the circuit can be established. This model accurately describes the interaction between the coupled inductors, filter inductors, and mains voltage, providing a theoretical basis for circuit design and optimization. Based on the established state equations, circuit parameters (such as inductance, capacitance, and resistance values) can be optimized. By adjusting these parameters, circuit performance can be improved, such as enhancing filtering effectiveness, reducing voltage fluctuations, and improving the power factor.

[0074] In some embodiments, establishing the target state equations between the coupling inductance, filter inductance, and grid voltage corresponding to each bridge arm includes:

[0075] Establish the first voltage formula for each bridge arm corresponding to the coupled inductor, relating the self-inductance coefficient, mutual inductance coefficient, and rate of change of current in each bridge arm.

[0076] Establish a second voltage formula for the filter inductor between the unknown inductance parameters of the filter inductor and the sum of the current values ​​of each bridge arm;

[0077] Establish the relationship formula between the unknown inductance parameters of each bridge arm and filter inductor and the grid voltage;

[0078] The first voltage formula, the second voltage formula, and the relational formula are used as the target state equations.

[0079] Specifically, taking two bridge arms as an example, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the state equation setting under two bridge arms, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the first voltage formula includes the formula for bridge arm A corresponding to the coupled inductor and the formula for bridge arm B corresponding to the coupled inductor. The specific formula for bridge arm A corresponding to the coupled inductor is as follows:

[0080] (1);

[0081] in, Let be the voltage across the coupled inductor in bridge arm A. Let be the self-inductance coefficient of the coupled inductor. For coupling winding branch current The rate of change of current Rate of change over time; is the mutual inductance coefficient of the coupled inductors, representing the effect of current changes between inductors on the coupling of the inductors. For coupling winding branch current The rate of change of current Rate of change over time.

[0082] Similarly, the formula for the coupling inductance corresponding to bridge arm B is as follows:

[0083] (2);

[0084] in, This is the voltage across the coupled inductor in bridge arm B.

[0085] In establishing the second voltage formula, the unknown inductance parameter of the filter inductor is a parameter that needs to be calculated. The sum of the current values ​​of each bridge arm is the rate of change of the total current flowing through the filter inductor in all bridge arms. Based on these two values, taking two bridge arms as an example, the corresponding specific formula is as follows:

[0086] (3);

[0087] in, For the unknown inductance parameters of the filter inductor, This is the voltage across the filter inductor;

[0088] Establish the relationship formulas between the unknown inductance parameters of each bridge arm and the filter inductor and the mains voltage. The relationship formula for bridge arm A is as follows:

[0089] (4);

[0090] in, DC bus voltage Half of Let be the voltage across the coupled inductor in bridge arm A. This is the voltage under the second voltage formula. This is the grid voltage.

[0091] The relationship formula corresponding to bridge arm B is as follows:

[0092] (5);

[0093] in, This is the voltage across the coupled inductor in bridge arm B.

[0094] The first voltage formula, the second voltage formula and the corresponding relationship formula established above are all target state equations.

[0095] The process of establishing state equations by Kirchhoff's voltage law and current law provided by the embodiment describes the relationship between the voltage and current of different parts in the circuit, especially the role of the filter inductor in the circuit. Through these formulas, it is convenient to analyze and calculate the voltage and current of each part in the circuit, so as to further analyze the operation of the whole circuit.

[0096] In step S12, the branch currents of the coupled inductor output windings of each bridge arm and the target current of the filter inductor are determined according to the target state equation, the target state equation is converted into an algebraic equation for solving each current, and the time domain equation is transformed by Laplace transform to simplify the analysis and calculation of the circuit.

[0097] In some embodiments, determining the branch currents of the coupled inductor output windings of each bridge arm and the target current of the filter inductor according to the target state equation comprises:

[0098] Converting the target state equation into an S-domain equation;

[0099] Obtaining a first equation by Laplace transform of the S-domain equation;

[0100] In the steady state of the multi-level inverter system, the initial state quantity of the first equation is determined to be 0;

[0101] The target current of the branch current and the filter inductor is determined according to the first equation constructed after the steady state.

[0102] Specifically, in order to facilitate calculation, the differential equation of the target state equation is converted into an S-domain equation, and after Laplace transform, a first equation is obtained. Taking two bridge arms as an example, the formula is as follows:

[0103] (6);

[0104] (7);

[0105] (8);

[0106] (9);

[0107] (10);

[0108] wherein, and are the Laplace transforms of and , respectively, and is the initial current value, is the Laplace transform of, is the initial current value.

[0109] In the steady state of the multi-level inverter system, the initial current change has no effect, so the initial state quantity is ignored, that is, 0, and the first equation after the steady state can be solved to determine the branch equation and the target current of the filter inductance. The formula is as follows:

[0110] (11);

[0111] (12);

[0112] (13);

[0113] wherein, and is the branch circuit, is the target current.

[0114] The simplification process of the time domain equation (differential equation) provided in the embodiment can analyze the dynamic characteristics of the system in the S domain, the Laplace transform is convenient for processing the transient response of the system, and the response of the system can be directly solved by the algebraic method without complex differential equation solving skills. Not only simplifies the calculation process, but also provides intuitive system characteristic analysis, which is convenient for system design and optimization, and also provides a powerful tool for fault diagnosis and prediction.

[0115] The step S13 of determining the ripple current change of the filter inductance according to the branch current and the target current needs to obtain the time domain expressions of the corresponding devices, branch currents and target currents at t1 and t2 to ensure the corresponding changes at the two times. Here, it can be realized by Laplace inverse transform, and in some embodiments, the determination of the ripple current change of the filter inductance according to the branch current and the target current comprises:

[0116] According to the first equation corresponding to the branch current and the target current, the second equation corresponding to the current change of the branch current and the target current is determined by Laplace inverse transform;

[0117] When the mutual inductance coefficient and the self-inductance coefficient of the coupled inductance are the same, the equation corresponding to the current change of the target current in the second equation is simplified to obtain the ripple current change of the filter inductance.

[0118] Specifically, taking the two-bridge-arm parallel scheme as an example, the first equation corresponds to the first equation after the above steady state, and the second equation is realized by inverse Laplace transform. It should be noted that the first equation and the second equation here are collectively referred to, not for a specific equation setting. The second equation formula is as follows:

[0119] (14);

[0120] (15);

[0121] (16);

[0122] wherein, , , , respectively represent the branch current of bridge arm A, the branch current of bridge arm B and the target current corresponding to the change of the filter inductance.

[0123] When the mutual inductance and the self-inductance are the same, some parameters will cancel out, making the formula more concise, facilitating analysis and calculation, such as formula:

[0124] (17).

[0125] It should be noted that the ripple current change of the filter inductance corresponding to more than two bridge arms in parallel is:

[0126] (18);

[0127] wherein, is the number of bridge arms, .

[0128] In the case of the largest ripple current change, the required minimum inductance of the filter inductance can be calculated, and the inductance formula corresponding to formula (18) is as follows:

[0129] (19).

[0130] The embodiment of the present application provides a kind of inductance determination method of filter inductor, it is applied to multi-level inverter system, the output end of the bridge arm of multi-level inverter system is connected coupling inductor, coupling inductor connects filter inductor;The modulation wave of at least two bridge arms is 180 ° out of phase, in the structure of this inverter system and the modulation wave of bridge arm 180 ° out of phase carrier interleaving technique, realize the inductance reduction of filter inductor, reduce the space occupied and reduce system cost.Furthermore, the inductance determination mode of filter inductor in this structure, by establishing target state equation, to facilitate subsequent knowing the dynamic change of the output voltage of different bridge arms of the inverter system and the current of filter inductor.According to target state equation, the branch current of the coupling inductor winding of each bridge arm and the corresponding target current of filter are determined, so that it is abstracted into mathematical expression during circuit operation, to determine the branch current and target current by mathematical method.Determine the ripple current variation of filter inductor by taking the determined branch current and target current as subsequent constraint parameter.Furthermore, the inductance of filter inductor is determined based on the ripple current variation of filter inductor, as an important basis for selecting filter inductor, to ensure that the specific inductance is determined on the basis of reducing the inductance of filter inductor, improve the accuracy of selection.

[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 Three-level INPC under corresponding modulation mode, its bridge arm output P, O, N three states, since using carrier interleaving modulation mode, the output state of AB bridge arm is inconsistent at the same time, then it will lead to circulating current, taking positive half cycle as an example, Figure 9 The structure diagram of the single-phase multi-level inverter system of the embodiment of the present application is provided, as shown in Figure 9 The output state of bridge arm A is P, and the output state of bridge arm B is O, forming a circulating current path as indicated by the arrow. In order to suppress the size of the circulating current and reduce the switching tube conduction loss caused by the circulating current, a coupling inductor is connected to the output end of the two bridge arms, the self-inductance of the coupling inductor is , and the mutual inductance is Since the same name end is not on the same side, the inductance of the circulating current is enhanced, that is, the inductance of the circulating current is increased to suppress the size of the circulating current.

[0132] After determining the second equation, the method further comprises:

[0133] According to the equation of each branch current in the second equation, the corresponding circulating current equation in each bridge arm is determined.

[0134] When the mutual inductance coefficient and the self-inductance coefficient of the coupling inductor are the same, the circulating current equation is simplified to obtain a third equation.

[0135] The self-inductance value of the coupling inductor is determined based on the third equation.

[0136] Specifically, the equations of each branch current in the second equation (formula (14) to formula (16)) determine the corresponding circulating current equations in each bridge arm.

[0137] Taking the structure of two bridge arms in parallel as an example, the circulating current formula of the two bridge arms is:

[0138] (20);

[0139] Wherein, when the mutual inductance and the self-inductance are equal, formula (20) can be further simplified as the following formula:

[0140] (21);

[0141] When , there is the maximum circulating current maximum, wherein, is the switching period of the high-frequency switch tube, and the formula is as follows:

[0142] (22);

[0143] It can be seen that, in the t1-t2 time, the bridge arm freewheeling of the bridge arm B, but the current change is negative, the first switch tube and the third switch tube of the bridge arm A, the fifth switch tube and the seventh switch tube of the bridge arm B are turned on at the same time to form circulating current, after defining the maximum circulating current, the self-inductance and mutual inductance of the required coupling inductance can be calculated.

[0144] The self-inductance of the coupling inductance can be obtained from formula (22) as follows:

[0145] (23);

[0146] It can be seen that, when it is extended to bridge arms, the circulating current formula is:

[0147] (24);

[0148] Wherein, .

[0149] The self-inductance of the coupling inductance can be obtained from formula (24) as follows:

[0150] (25);

[0151] The embodiment provided determines the self-inductance of the coupling inductance, suppresses the circulating current size caused by the output state of the interleaved parallel inverter bridge arm, reduces the switching tube conduction loss caused by the circulating current, and improves the inverter efficiency.

[0152] In some embodiments, determining the inductance of the filter inductance based on the ripple current change of the filter inductance comprises:

[0153] obtaining a first relationship between an output voltage duty cycle of the multi-level inverter system and a grid voltage;

[0154] obtaining a second relationship of the first relationship corresponding to a time variation at a current peak value;

[0155] determining an inductance of the filter inductor according to the first relationship, the second relationship, and a ripple current variation of the filter inductor.

[0156] Specifically, the filter inductor At a power frequency sinusoidal peak current, a certain inductance needs to be met to achieve a ripple current . is a peak value of an output current sinusoid. Since the topology is an inverter INPC, and SPWM modulation is adopted, the first relationship of the output voltage duty cycle is ; therefore, at the current peak value, the second relationship is , , is a peak value of an output voltage sinusoid. is a switching period of a high-frequency switch tube, and the corresponding inductance formula is:

[0157] (19).

[0158] The determination process provided by the embodiment based on the ripple current variation of the filter inductor to determine the inductance of the filter inductor can effectively filter out the high-frequency ripple current, improve the output quality of the circuit, reduce the inductance of the filter inductor of the inverter output, and reduce the system cost.

[0159] In some embodiments, after the inductance of the filter inductor is determined, the method further comprises:

[0160] obtaining a first inductance of the filter inductor determined by a preset manner of the multi-level inverter system;

[0161] determining a first ratio according to the inductance of the filter inductor and the first inductance;

[0162] if the first ratio is less than 1, selecting a corresponding filter inductor device according to the inductance of the filter inductor.

[0163] Specifically, the first inductance of the filter inductor determined by the preset manner is , and the formula is as follows:

[0164] (26).

[0165] Let the ripple currents be the same, i.e. .

[0166] The first ratio is obtained by setting the ratio of the inductance of the filter inductor to the first inductance, that is, the formula is as follows:

[0167] (27).

[0168] The interleaved parallel inductance is smaller than the traditional three-level inverter inductance. , For example, the first ratio is 0.356, and the filter inductance of the interleaved parallel inverter topology is 0.356 times the required inductance of the traditional three-level inverter inductance.

[0169] The multi-level inverter system provided by the embodiment is compared with the inductance corresponding to the traditional three-level inverter to determine that the inductance determined by the embodiment is smaller, thereby saving the system cost.
