Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy power generation technology, specifically an active control method for suppressing secondary ripple on the DC side of a two-stage inverter. Background Technology
[0002] A two-stage inverter is a power electronic device that achieves high-efficiency energy conversion by cascading two inverters in series, primarily used in the field of new energy power generation. A two-stage inverter consists of a first-stage DC-AC inverter and a second-stage AC-AC inverter connected in series. The first stage boosts the input DC power (such as photovoltaic cell output) to a higher voltage, while the second stage converts the high-voltage DC power into AC power that meets grid requirements.
[0003] Existing technologies for suppressing secondary ripple on the DC side of two-stage inverters mainly include the following methods, along with their respective drawbacks:
[0004] Control strategy optimization (voltage outer loop + current inner loop): By optimizing the control loop (voltage outer loop + current inner loop) of the upstream DC / DC converter, secondary ripple can be effectively suppressed. However, this method has limitations, such as insufficient suppression capability for high-frequency ripple and the need for complex circuit design.
[0005] Filtering circuit design: LC resonant circuit: Ripple is eliminated by designing an LC circuit with a resonant frequency twice that of the output frequency, but the electrolytic capacitor has a limited lifespan and requires a large inductor and capacitor volume, which reduces system reliability and power density; Active filter: It can effectively filter out ripple, but requires an additional control system, which increases system complexity and is not conducive to integrated design.
[0006] Input capacitor and intermediate bus capacitor: Connecting a large electrolytic capacitor or intermediate bus capacitor in parallel in the circuit can reduce ripple. However, electrolytic capacitors are prone to aging, and filtering low-frequency ripple requires large-capacity components, affecting the system's compactness.
[0007] Parameter tuning and optimization: Ripple can be indirectly suppressed by adjusting inverter parameters (such as switching frequency and duty cycle). However, parameter selection needs to balance performance and stability, and the effect on high-frequency ripple suppression is limited.
[0008] In summary, existing technologies mainly rely on control optimization and filtering methods, but these suffer from problems such as increased component losses, larger size, and higher system complexity. A combination of methods and optimized circuit design are needed to improve the suppression effect. Therefore, this invention provides an active control method for suppressing secondary ripple on the DC side of a two-stage inverter. Summary of the Invention
