Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and low ripple current sharing stability control technology for hydrogen production converters in photovoltaic-hydrogen storage DC microgrids. In particular, it relates to an improved MPPT algorithm and a current sharing control method and system for three-phase interleaved parallel hydrogen production converters in photovoltaic-hydrogen storage DC microgrids. Background Technology
[0002] With the introduction of my country's "dual-carbon" target, new energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind power have experienced explosive growth, and in the future, new energy will gradually replace traditional fossil fuels. However, photovoltaic power generation is affected by environmental factors, exhibiting strong volatility and randomness. Its large-scale grid connection will impact the stability of the power system, leading to frequent curtailment of solar power to ensure grid stability. To address the issue of local consumption of new energy, photovoltaic hydrogen production has been proposed as an effective consumption pathway. Hydrogen energy has advantages such as being pollution-free, clean, and capable of long-term storage, laying the foundation for the development of photovoltaic hydrogen production. Traditional photovoltaic hydrogen storage DC microgrids use the fixed-step incremental conductance method for the photovoltaic power generation portion. However, this maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm, due to its constant step size and other reasons, cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of fast tracking speed and small steady-state fluctuations. Furthermore, while photovoltaic hydrogen production has great potential, it faces numerous challenges. On one hand, the volatility of photovoltaic power generation makes the power supply of DC microgrids unstable, leading to frequent start-ups and shutdowns of electrolyzers, thereby shortening their lifespan. Furthermore, the input current ripple of the electrolyzer also affects hydrogen production efficiency and electrolyzer lifespan. On the other hand, the DC bus voltage boosted by photovoltaic power generation is mismatched with the operating voltage of the electrolyzer, requiring a DC / DC converter for power conversion. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the MPPT algorithm and propose a hydrogen production power supply control strategy that meets the hydrogen production requirements. Summary of the Invention

It includes a photovoltaic array, a photovoltaic boost converter, an energy storage converter, a three-phase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converter, a DC bus, and a PEM electrolytic cell connected in sequence.
[0120] First, the physical system of the hydrogen production system of the photovoltaic-hydrogen storage DC microgrid three-phase interleaved parallel hydrogen production converter is obtained: the photovoltaic array, photovoltaic Boost converter, energy storage bidirectional converter, three-phase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converter, and PEM electrolyzer are connected in sequence in the photovoltaic-hydrogen storage DC microgrid hydrogen production system.
[0121] The physical system of a hydrogen production system based on a three-phase interleaved parallel hydrogen production converter in a photovoltaic hydrogen storage DC microgrid is described. A small-signal model of the main circuit is constructed, and a control strategy for the hydrogen production system is designed based on the small-signal models of the main circuit and control system. The small-signal modeling steps are as follows:
[0122] The state-space equations are linearized using the small-signal perturbation method to obtain the small-signal model of the physical system. Then, a control strategy is designed based on the stability margin of automatic control theory.
[0123] The specific steps of control design are as follows:
[0124] Establish a mathematical model for photovoltaic cells.
[0125] The power electronic equivalent model of a photovoltaic cell consists of an ideal current source device, a diode device, and a resistor device. For example... Figure 3 As shown, It is the photocurrent generated by the photovoltaic cell. It is the equivalent parallel resistance inside the solar cell material. It is the equivalent series resistance, and I is the final output current of the photovoltaic cell. It is the final output voltage of the photovoltaic cell. This is the current flowing through the diode. In practical applications, it can be determined by the short-circuit current. Open circuit voltage Maximum power point Maximum power point Operating voltage at the location With current The mathematical model for photovoltaic cells is established as follows:
[0126] ;
[0127] In equation (1), and The formula is shown below:
[0128] ;
[0129] Equation (1) is based on the reference environmental conditions, i.e., a light intensity of 1000. A mathematical model of a photovoltaic cell at 25℃ is provided. However, in practical applications, the light intensity and ambient temperature differ from the standard test environment. Therefore, the formula needs to be modified. The modified formulas for light intensity and ambient temperature are shown below:
[0130] ;
[0131] ;
[0132] In equations (3) and (4), S represents the actual light intensity, and T represents the actual photovoltaic cell temperature. With corrections to light intensity and temperature, the short-circuit current... Open circuit voltage Maximum operating point Operating voltage at the location With current The relevant modifications were also made, and the modified expressions are shown in equations (5), (6), (7), and (8).
[0133] ;
[0134] ;
[0135] ;
[0136] ;
[0137] ;
[0138] In equation (9) , The values represent the corrected open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the photovoltaic array, where N is the number of photovoltaic cells connected in series and M is the number of photovoltaic cells connected in parallel.
[0139] The principle and design of the improved MPPT algorithm allow the photovoltaic cell output characteristics to be expressed as follows:
[0140] ;
[0141] As shown in equation (10), the output characteristics of a photovoltaic cell are related to the current. Traditional variable step size methods typically use... Instead of a fixed step size parameter, a correction is made by multiplying it by a constant coefficient. To reduce the impact of current variations on the output characteristics of photovoltaic cells, a current-related coefficient is introduced. Make corrections.
[0142] Let the variable step size coefficient be The step size change is Then the duty cycle It can be represented as:
[0143] ;
[0144] in, This represents the duty cycle at the previous time step, with the variable step size coefficient being... There are three ways to select them:
[0145] ;
[0146] Simulation and physical experiments were used to compare and analyze the three MPPT methods mentioned above, using steady-state performance and the steady-state fluctuation of the photovoltaic output voltage after external disturbances as evaluation indicators, thereby obtaining the MPPT control strategy with the best stability. The flowchart of the proposed MPPT algorithm in this embodiment is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.
[0147] Analysis of the output characteristics of hydrogen production power supply:
[0148] The hydrogen production power supply uses a three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter, and its circuit topology is as follows: Figure 5As shown in the figure, by shifting the carrier phase by 120°, peak-valley cancellation is achieved to reduce the ripple of the total output current. The three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter adopted has two operating modes: Buck and Boost. There are 8 operating modes in the buck mode, but the 8 operating modes will not appear in the same switching period. According to the value of the duty cycle D, it is divided into three cases: D < 1 / 3, 1 / 3 < D < 2 / 3, 2 / 3 < D. In this embodiment, the Buck mode with D < 1 / 3 is adopted for simulation analysis and physical experiments. When D < 1 / 3, the switching trigger signal and current waveform are as Figure 6 shown.
[0149] From Figure 6 it can be seen that the frequency of the total current output by the three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter is three times that of the single-phase inductor current, which can effectively reduce the inductor volume and improve the power density. According to the volt-second balance and the same change in inductor current within one cycle, the expression for the ripple of its output total current can be deduced as:
[0150] ;
[0151] ;
[0152] In the formula, is the inductance value of each phase ( ), is the switching period, and in this embodiment .
[0153] Small-signal modeling and control strategy design of a three-phase interleaved parallel hydrogen production converter hydrogen production system:
[0154] The design of the three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter should meet the power supply requirements of the electrolyzer and avoid device damage caused by circulating current. A low-ripple current sharing control strategy needs to be designed. When designing the control strategy, the converter needs to be modeled with small signals to provide a theoretical basis for the design of the controller. First, the average state-space equation of the Buck mode of the hydrogen production converter is obtained using the state-space averaging method. After adding small-signal perturbations, canceling the steady-state values, and ignoring the second-order perturbation terms, the differential equation obtained is Laplace-transformed to obtain the small-signal model of the system as shown in Equation (15).

Therefore, it employs an energy storage converter with constant voltage control using an outer voltage loop and an inner current loop. Its control block diagram is shown below. Figure 11 As shown. This invention constructs a PEM electrolyzer simulation model in MATLAB / Simulink. The model includes an anode model, a cathode model, a proton exchange membrane model, an electrolyzer voltage model, and a hydrogen storage tank model. The mathematical model of the PEM electrolyzer is as follows: Figure 12 As shown.

[0164] Simulation and physical experiment verification of the control strategy:
[0165] 1. Simulation Verification: To verify the overall performance of the improved MPPT algorithm and the effectiveness of ripple suppression in the triple-interleaved DC-DC converter proposed in this invention, a simulation platform was built based on the parameters of "Modeling and Parameter Design of Photovoltaic Hydrogen Storage Subsystem". Three disturbance factors were set: light intensity, temperature, and DC load. Four operating modes were set, with mode one having a light intensity of 1350 W / m² within 0-0.6 s. 2 Temperature 25℃, DC load 3 kW; Mode 2: Illuminance of 1350 W / m² within 0.6-1 s. 2 Temperature 15℃, DC load 3 kW; Mode 3: Illumination intensity 800 W / m² within 1-1.5 s. 2 Temperature 15℃, DC load unchanged; Mode 4: Illumination intensity 800 W / m² within 1.5-3 seconds. 2 Temperature 15℃, DC load 6 kW. Simulation results are as follows: Figure 13-15 As shown in the figure (k=0.05), the hydrogen production power supply is compared and analyzed with a traditional Buck converter and a three-phase interleaved converter. The output voltage and output current ripple of the two are as follows: Figure 16-17 As shown.
[0166] like Figure 13 As shown, at 0.6 s, the temperature decreases, and the power and voltage curves rise slightly; at 1 s, the irradiance decreases, and the photovoltaic output power decreases significantly. (Comparison) Figure 13 , 14 The waveforms obtained from three different step size coefficients (1, 2, and 3) show that... and steady-state fluctuations Larger The steady-state fluctuation is the largest, but It exhibits minimal steady-state fluctuations, with minimal fluctuations even under varying conditions of illumination, temperature, and DC load. It boasts fast tracking speed and high tracking accuracy, and considering all factors, it offers the best MPPT tracking performance, making it suitable for application in photovoltaic hydrogen storage systems.
[0167] The simulation experiment yielded the output voltage and current ripple of the traditional Buck converter and the three-phase interleaved DC-DC converter, as shown in the figure. Figure 16-17 As shown. By Figure 16-17 It can be seen that the output voltage ripple of a traditional Buck converter is approximately 0.17 V, and the current ripple is about 4 A. In contrast, the output current ripple of a three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter using an independent current sharing control strategy with an inner current loop is only 1.182 A (theoretically calculated to be 1.1775 A), and the peak-to-peak voltage ripple is 0.04 V.
[0168] Simulation experiments show that the three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter with an independent current sharing control strategy using an inner current loop has smaller output current ripple, and the low-voltage side output current waveform under this control strategy is shown in the figure below. Figure 18 Three-phase inductor current The values are 151.6 A, 151.5 A, and 151.9 A, respectively. Using the degree of imbalance as the evaluation index for the flow equalization effect, the calculation formula is as follows:
[0169] ;
[0170] The molecule represents the maximum difference between each pair of inductor currents. Let n be the total output current of the converter, and n be the number of interleaved parallel phases. Substituting the simulation data, we get... This is far less than the 5% required by the national standard GB / T3797-2016, demonstrating good steady-state current sharing performance. (By...) Figures 19-20 It can be seen that the energy storage control strategy adopted in this embodiment effectively maintains the stability of the DC bus voltage and the power self-balancing of the microgrid, with the bus voltage fluctuation controlled within 1V.
[0171] 2. Physical Verification: The improved MPPT algorithm proposed in this embodiment and the three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter capable of stable and efficient hydrogen production were physically verified. The core component of the physical platform was the real-time digital controller RTU-BOX201, which integrates DSP, FPGA, and other main control chips. The physical experimental platform is as follows: Figure 21 As shown.
[0172] The improved variable step-size conductance incremental method tracks and stabilizes at the maximum power point within 3 seconds, significantly improving the tracking speed compared to the traditional MPPT algorithm's 29 seconds. In practical experiments, the tracking speeds of the three variable step-size coefficient variable step-size conductance incremental methods were all within 3 seconds. The MPPT algorithm proposed in this embodiment has an even faster tracking speed. Some parameter settings from the practical experiments are shown in Table 1.

[0175] The steady-state photovoltaic output voltage waveforms of the three variable step-size coefficient variable conductance incremental methods are shown in the figure. Figure 22 As shown. The physical experiment selected the one with the best overall performance in the simulation. The variable step-size incremental conductance method and its poor performance A practical experiment was conducted using the variable step-size conductance incremental method. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 22 As shown in the figure, 10,000 sampling points represent 1 second, meaning that samples were taken within 8 seconds. The variable step-size conductance incremental method controls the output voltage fluctuation within 3.3 V, while The output voltage fluctuation of the variable step size incremental conductance method is controlled within 0.8 V. Hardware experiments show that the improved variable step size incremental conductance method proposed in this paper has good steady-state performance.
[0176] The waveform of the input current of the electrolyzer obtained from the actual hydrogen production experiment is as follows: Figure 23 As shown in the figure, the peak-to-peak value of the maximum total output current ripple of the three-phase interleaved DC-DC converter is approximately 0.04 A.
[0177] Therefore, simulation experiments and physical experiments together verify that the improved MPPT algorithm and the current sharing control technology of the three-phase interleaved parallel hydrogen production converter in the photovoltaic hydrogen storage DC microgrid proposed in this invention can achieve both speed and stability in tracking the maximum power of photovoltaic power generation under external disturbances in the hydrogen production system. The output power of the hydrogen production converter using the current sharing control technology meets the requirements of the hydrogen electrolyzer, and the phase-to-phase current sharing error of the converter is better than the national standard requirements, thus verifying the accuracy of the control technology proposed in this invention.
