Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medium-voltage direct transmission of energy storage, and specifically to a non-isolated modular multilevel converter for energy storage and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] As the global energy structure accelerates its transition to renewable energy, the large-scale grid connection of intermittent and fluctuating power sources such as wind and solar power poses a severe challenge to the stable operation of the power system and power quality. Energy storage systems, as a key technology for mitigating fluctuations in renewable energy output, enhancing the grid's peak-shaving and valley-filling capabilities, and ensuring power supply reliability, are becoming increasingly important. However, traditional centralized energy storage management models have inherent limitations in terms of capacity scalability, redundancy and fault tolerance, energy conversion efficiency, and system flexibility, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of large-scale, high-reliability energy storage applications.
[0003] Modular multilevel converters (MMCs), with their modular design, high voltage withstand ratings, low harmonic output, strong scalability, and excellent redundancy, have become the mainstream topology in the field of high-voltage, high-capacity power electronic conversion. Integrating MMC technology with energy storage systems to construct distributed energy storage MMC systems can effectively overcome the drawbacks of traditional centralized management. By embedding energy storage units (such as battery packs) into various sub-modules of the MMC, not only is the connection structure between the energy storage system and the converter simplified, reducing the difficulty of charge-discharge equalization and thermal management risks in high-power centralized energy storage, but the system's redundancy and fault ride-through capability are also significantly enhanced. Furthermore, the distributed architecture supports fine-grained energy scheduling based on sub-module states, optimizing the system's dynamic response characteristics and overall operating efficiency, providing an important technical path for building a highly reliable and efficient next-generation energy storage system.
[0004] Despite the significant advantages of distributed energy storage MMC, suppressing voltage fluctuations in its submodule capacitors remains a key technical challenge limiting system performance improvement. Existing research mainly focuses on the following types of solutions and their limitations: 1. Voltage ripple can be suppressed by adjusting the power distribution of the bridge arms through AC-side common-mode voltage injection or phase unit circulating current injection. However, such methods often lead to an increase in the effective value of the bridge arm current, increasing device losses and easily causing distortion of the DC-side output waveform, thus affecting power quality.
[0005] 2. A power transfer path between the upper and lower bridge arms is constructed using a flying capacitor to achieve dynamic power balance between the bridge arms. Although this solution can significantly reduce the voltage ripple amplitude of the submodule capacitors, it introduces additional passive components, increasing the system size, weight, and cost.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new energy storage MMC topology and control method with a simpler topology, which can effectively suppress capacitor voltage fluctuations without complex additional control and has high integration and non-isolation characteristics, in order to solve the problems of complex control, high cost and limited waveform quality in the existing technology.

[0010] The A-phase, B-phase, and C-phase coupled inductors of the three-winding coupled inductor array have the same number of turns and coupling coefficient, and are connected in the same way with the same terminals, so that the resultant magnetic flux in the core is zero under the action of the symmetrical components of the three-phase current.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention achieves high-frequency interconnection of horizontal three-phase basic module units through a unique three-winding coupled inductor array topology. This allows the modular multilevel converter to achieve stable power transmission and voltage level regulation by simply performing basic AC / DC conversion voltage and current dual closed-loop control at the MMC level. It eliminates the need for a bridge arm 2-fold frequency harmonic circulating current suppression strategy, thus enabling both output power and voltage level regulation and saving system detection and control resources.
[0014] 2. Utilizing the magnetic flux coupling characteristics of the A-phase, B-phase, and C-phase coupled inductors in the three-winding coupled inductor array, the fundamental frequency component and the second harmonic ripple power component in the three-phase bridge arms cancel each other out at the coupled inductors. This naturally eliminates the voltage ripple power of the submodule capacitors, and the capacitors only need to absorb the sub-voltage harmonics of the switching frequency during operation, significantly reducing the size of the capacitors in the submodules and thus improving the system power density.
[0015] 3. Because the three-winding coupled inductor array naturally blocks the path of the second-harmonic circulating current, this invention eliminates the voltage fluctuation of the submodule capacitors and also completely removes the second-harmonic circulating current in the bridge arms. This reduces the switching and conduction losses of the switching devices, lowers the current stress requirements on the switching devices, and facilitates further optimization of the system design.
[0016] 4. On the one hand, since the control strategy of this invention does not require complex real-time detection and decoupling calculation processes, the control loop delay is extremely low; on the other hand, due to the significant reduction in the capacitance value of the first capacitor, the electrostatic energy stored inside the basic module unit is significantly reduced. Because no complex detection and calculation processes are required, the reduced capacitance in the system lowers the system's energy storage, improves the system's response speed, and simultaneously mitigates the harm caused by capacitor discharge due to short circuits in the factor modules, which leads to an increase in fault current.
