Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the application of power electronics technology in the field of flexible interconnection of distribution networks, specifically to a series-parallel hybrid five-port energy router and its control method that can realize the interconnection of transformer substations. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, rural electricity consumption has increased rapidly, leading to severe overload problems in distribution transformer areas and power lines. This mismatch between power supply and demand, coupled with the concentrated peak hours of electricity consumption in rural areas, has exacerbated low voltage issues. On the other hand, with the increasing growth of DC loads such as electric vehicle charging stations, data centers, DC appliances, and communication equipment, as well as the large-capacity, high-proportion distributed DC power sources like photovoltaics, the current power grid's source-load-storage DC characteristics are becoming increasingly pronounced. Therefore, interconnecting multiple distribution transformers within the same area can, to some extent, improve load balancing and energy optimization capabilities, alleviating the pressure of power grid upgrades and renovations.
[0003] Flexible interconnection of low-voltage distribution areas enables dynamic capacity expansion and rapid fault transfer, improving power supply reliability and the capacity to accommodate distributed power sources. However, current methods for interconnecting and power supply between distribution areas based on traditional AC methods mostly employ topology reconfiguration, switch combination state switching, and changes in operating modes. Their mutual power controllability and load balancing capabilities are insufficient to support the rapid development needs of both the source and load ends within the current distribution areas. To address these issues, the paper "Practical Application of Low-Voltage Flexible Interconnection Technology in New Rural Distribution Networks," published in the Rural Electrification Journal (Vol. 3, No. 6, 2023), proposes a three-terminal common DC bus type low-voltage flexible DC interconnection topology. Three distribution areas (No. 1, No. 2, and No. 5) are each connected to a ±375V DC bus via a 250kW AC / DC bidirectional converter, forming a common DC bus structure. Power dispatch, load balancing, and fault switching are achieved through a central controller and a local monitoring station. Also addressing the issue of low-voltage distribution area interconnection, the paper "Power Mutual Aid Strategy Across Distribution Areas in Flexible Interconnection Systems of Low-Voltage Distribution Areas" published in the Ningxia Electric Power Journal in 2023, Issue 2, proposes an adaptive control strategy based on an improved droop algorithm to achieve adaptive power mutual aid between interconnected distribution areas. This distribution area consists of six distribution areas connected to a shared 750V DC bus via their respective AC / DC converters.
[0004] It should be noted that in the above low-voltage flexible DC interconnect topology, all AC / DC bidirectional converters are connected in parallel with the DC bus and operate in full-power mode, resulting in large hardware capacity and high cost. Furthermore, each unit requires additional communication, complicating system control. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a hybrid series-parallel five-port energy router.
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a series-parallel hybrid five-port energy router capable of interconnecting distribution substations, comprising: four low-voltage AC ports AC1, AC2, AC3 and AC4, one DC port DC, two parallel converters PCM1 and PCM3, and two series converters SCM2 and SCM4; the AC port of PCM1 is connected to AC1, the AC port of SCM2 is connected to AC2 through a first series transformer SIT2; the AC port of PCM3 is connected to AC3, and the AC port of SCM4 is connected to AC4 through a second series transformer SIT4; the DC ports of PCM1, SCM2, PCM3 and SCM4 are connected together to form a common DC bus; the DC is led out from the common DC bus.

[0011] By adjusting the amplitude and phase angle of the output voltage of the series converter SCMk, the active and reactive power of the AC port ACk connected to SCMk can be controlled.
[0012] The power compensation amount is generated by the outer loop PI controller of the DC bus voltage, and the power command allocated to ACh is dynamically corrected to maintain the stability of the DC bus voltage.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the SCMk employs pre-synchronous phase-locked loop control, and its phase angle dynamic adjustment rate is given by the formula... Determine, in the formula, This represents the synchronization coefficient of the phase-locked loop. The frequency of the AC power grid connected to ACk. The AC power grid reference frequency is used to ensure the phase angle at the moment of grid connection. =0.
[0014] In one possible implementation, when operating in the second operating mode, the control process includes:
[0015] Both of the two parallel converters PCM1 and PCM3 of the mutual aid system adopt a dual closed-loop control strategy, including an inner current loop control and an outer current loop control. By maintaining the stability of the DC bus voltage, the active power between the two corresponding AC ports AC1 and AC3 is automatically balanced.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the formula for the current inner loop control is:

The grid angular frequency of the AC power grid to which the parallel converter is connected; The equivalent resistance of the filter inductor; For integration operators;
[0019] In one possible implementation, the outer loop control uses DC voltage averaging control to generate reference values for the d-axis and q-axis components of the AC side current, and uses an inverse power model to calculate the feedforward current command.
[0020] Thirdly, this application provides a flexible interconnection system for a distribution network, characterized in that it includes at least one of the aforementioned five-port energy routers for interconnecting multiple low-voltage distribution areas, thereby achieving dynamic capacity expansion, fault transfer, load balancing, and efficient consumption of distributed energy.

Simultaneously, the modular design provides higher redundancy and economy during system expansion. Compared to traditional flexible DC solutions, the SCM has lower capacity configuration requirements, effectively reducing system hardware costs. Attached Figure Description

This structure retains the DC bus of the flexible DC solution, facilitating the addition of transformer substations (plug-and-play) and distributed resource access. The interconnection architecture can be adjusted according to actual site selection, and some port converters do not operate at full power, thus improving efficiency.
[0036] The following will refer to Figure 1 A specific implementation method according to this application is described.
[0037] Example 1:
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a five-port energy router capable of implementing a hybrid series-parallel configuration is provided.

[0041] The low voltage in the low voltage distribution area, low voltage AC bus, and low voltage AC port refers to AC voltage levels of 1000V and below (such as 400V and below).
[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the specific operating voltage is the standard civilian voltage of 220V phase voltage or 380V line voltage.

[0044] The AC port ac1 of PCM1 is connected to AC1, and the AC port ac2 of SCM2 is connected to AC2 through the first series transformer SIT2; the AC port ac3 of PCM3 is connected to AC3, and the AC port ac4 of SCM4 is connected to AC4 through the second series transformer SIT4; the DC ports dc1 of PCM1, dc2 of SCM2, dc3 of PCM3, and dc4 of SCM4 are connected together to form a common DC bus; the DC port DC is led out from the common DC bus.
[0045] To improve system reliability, all four low-voltage AC port line networks are equipped with series circuit breakers (QF); a circuit breaker (CRM) is installed between the SCM and the series transformer.
[0046] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the devices involved in this application are explained.

[0052] Example 2:
[0053] This application provides a control method for a five-port energy router, wherein the five-port energy router is the energy router described in Embodiment 1; the control method includes at least two working modes: a first working mode is a parallel-series mutual assistance mode, including power flow mutual assistance between AC1 and AC2, AC1 and AC4, AC2 and AC3, and AC3 and AC4; and a second working mode is a parallel-parallel mutual assistance mode, including power flow mutual assistance between AC1 and AC3.
[0054] The five-port power router described above can achieve bidirectional power transfer between its ports. There are two typical working modes (power flow transfer modes) between the ports: the first working mode is parallel-series power transfer, such as power flow transfer between AC1 and AC2, AC1 and AC4, AC2 and AC3, and AC3 and AC4; the second working mode is parallel-parallel power transfer, such as power flow transfer between AC1 and AC3.
[0055] The aforementioned five-port energy router retains the plug-and-play and scalability of the flexible DC interconnection architecture; the interconnection of some AC substations adopts a series architecture, and the PCM and SCM do not need to operate at full power, thereby improving system operating efficiency.

[0058] 1. Active and reactive power control in ACh:
[0059] The h-th parallel converter PCMh controls the active power P1 and reactive power Q1 of the h-th low-voltage AC port ACh. The instantaneous active power and instantaneous reactive power on the output side in the dq coordinate system are as follows:
[0060]
[0061] In the formula, Let ACh be the d-axis equivalent component of the voltage vector. and These are the d-axis and q-axis equivalent components of the ACh current vector, respectively.

[0090] 3. DC bus voltage regulation and power coordination:
[0091] When maintaining DC bus voltage When it remains unchanged, we can obtain Further, we can obtain ;in, and These represent the DC-side currents of PCMh and SCMk, respectively. This represents the total system loss.
[0092] The equation for the energy storage of the DC bus capacitor is:
[0093]
[0094] In the formula, This is the DC bus capacitor.
[0095] Further linearize it:
[0096]
[0097] In the formula, This is the rated voltage of the DC bus. This refers to the DC bus voltage deviation. ; and These are the changes in active power, ACh and ACk, respectively.
[0098] Finally, a PI controller is designed to generate the power compensation amount:
[0099]
[0100] In the formula, Indicates the amount of power compensation. and These represent the proportional and integral coefficients of the voltage outer loop PI control, respectively; This indicates the reference value for the DC bus voltage;
[0101] The power grids distribute the power compensation amount obtained in the previous step through power command allocation. Assigned to ACh: The power command received by ACk: . This is the initial active power reference value.
[0102] SCMk employs pre-synchronous phase-locked loop control to ensure instantaneous grid connection. To avoid inrush current.
[0103]
[0104] In the formula, This represents the synchronization coefficient of the phase-locked loop. The frequency (measured value) of the AC power grid connected to ACk. The reference frequency for AC power grids is 50Hz.
[0105] Second working mode: Parallel-parallel mutual assistance, that is, power flow mutual assistance between AC1 and AC3;
[0106] Power flow is mutually supported between AC1 and AC3 through two parallel converters.
[0107] First, under normal grid-connected conditions, the parallel converter's dynamic differential equations in the abc three-phase stationary coordinate system are written according to Kirchhoff's laws. The abc axis is then transformed into the dq axis, and the equations are as follows:
[0108]
[0109] In the formula, This refers to the filter inductance value on the AC side of the parallel converter. The grid angular frequency (2π×50Hz) of the AC grid to which the parallel converter is connected. This is the equivalent resistance of the filter inductor;
[0110] Define the d-axis and q-axis components of the switching modulation function of the parallel converter as follows: , .
[0111]
[0112] When switching losses are ignored, the power flow of AC1 and AC3 is described as follows:
[0113]
[0114] In the formula For the first The active power flowing out of the AC side of the parallel converter ; Indicates the first AC output voltage of a parallel converter Axial components, For the first The current flowing into the DC side of the parallel converter. While maintaining the DC bus voltage. When it remains unchanged, we can obtain Further, we can obtain The power flow at both ports reaches a state of equilibrium. Therefore, as long as the DC-side voltage remains constant, stable transmission of active power between the two ends can be achieved.
[0115] The AC side current of the parallel converter can be obtained. , These are proportional to active power and reactive power, respectively, therefore, by controlling... , The active and reactive power of the system can be controlled, and the inner-loop control equations can be designed as follows:
[0116]
[0117] in, and These are the reference values for the d-axis and q-axis components of the AC side current of the parallel converter. and These represent the proportional and integral coefficients of the current inner-loop PI control, respectively. and These are the d / q axis components of the grid voltage to which the parallel converter is connected; and Cross-coupling terms in a rotating coordinate system; The equivalent resistance of the filter inductor;
[0118] When the energy router operates in steady state, it needs to maintain the DC-side voltage stable near its rated value. Therefore, the outer loop of the dual closed-loop control adopts DC voltage averaging control.
[0119]
[0120] in, DC-side voltage setpoint of parallel converter The average value of the DC-side voltage of the parallel converter. This is the setpoint for the reactive power on the AC side of the parallel converter. This represents the actual reactive power value on the AC side of the parallel converter.
[0121] The control block diagram of the parallel converter can be obtained from the above derivation, as follows: Figure 2As shown, the outer loop control target is the average capacitor voltage. The error between the average voltage and the setpoint voltage is used by the outer loop PI controller to generate the setpoint value of the d-axis component of the inner loop input current. The dq component of the input current is then passed through the inner loop PI controller and superimposed with the decoupled component to generate the dq-axis component of the modulated wave. The dq-abc transformation is then used to generate the sinusoidal modulated wave on the three-phase input side. The drive signal is generated by the CPS-SPWM modulation module.
[0122] The control strategy on the output side (e.g., AC3-PCM3) is similar to that on the input side (e.g., AC1-PCM1), also employing a dual closed-loop control strategy of outer loop (power / voltage) - inner loop (current). As can be seen from the port power flow equation, the outer loop control, when controlling id through active power P, is affected by iq, and when controlling iq through reactive power Q, it is affected by id. To eliminate these effects, the power flow formula is transformed and rearranged to obtain an inverse power model, which is then introduced into the control outer loop.
[0123]
[0124] in, and Representing the d-axis and q-axis components of the current command in the inverse model feedforward, respectively, introducing... and It can better reduce overshoot during PI regulation; and These are the active power reference value and the reactive power reference value, respectively. and The d / q axis components of the grid voltage are respectively.

Figures 3-5 As can be seen, due to the use of the controller state tracking control method, no sudden changes in the output voltage of the port converter were caused during operation. Although the current dropped sharply at the beginning, it remained basically stable in subsequent operation. The relative stability of the voltage ensured the relative stability of the current, and the PQ control provided voltage amplitude and frequency support for the power-off load, realizing uninterrupted and stable power supply to the power-off load.
[0134] Figure 6 This is a waveform diagram of the active power flowing through the converter in the simulation experiment of this application, where the horizontal axis is time (unit: s) and the vertical axis is active power (unit: W or kW); where P1 is the output power of AC1; P2 is the output power of AC2; and P3 is the output power of AC3. Figure 6 As can be seen from the active power response waveform curve at the port output, in PQ control mode, the low-voltage AC port of the converter automatically allocates active power according to the power flow balance constraint, satisfying P1+P2+P3=0.
[0135] Figure 7 This is the DC bus voltage curve from the simulation experiment of this application, where the horizontal axis represents time (in seconds) and the vertical axis represents voltage (in V). Figure 7 As can be seen, the DC bus can quickly stabilize to the target value (750V) during system operation.
