Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bidirectional three-level DC-DC converter control, and in particular to a voltage step-up and voltage step-down control device and method for a bidirectional three-level DC-DC converter. Background Art
[0002] The lithium battery in the car is boosted by DC-DC to provide the motor controller with a voltage higher than the lithium battery to improve the efficiency of the motor. When the motor of the electric car is in power generation mode, the electricity generated by the motor can be stepped down by bidirectional DC-DC to charge the lithium battery, thereby improving the battery life. At the same time, the number of lithium batteries connected in series to obtain high voltage can be reduced, which can reduce the cost of lithium batteries. Compared with the two-level DC-DC, the use of three-level bidirectional DC-DC can reduce the IGBT switch stress, reduce the inductance and volume of the energy storage inductor, and increase the power density of the DC-DC. Since the three-level DC-DC introduces a flying capacitor, the control algorithm needs to maintain the balance of the flying capacitor voltage. Only when the flying capacitor voltage is maintained at half of the high-voltage side voltage can the entire system remain stable. If the flying capacitor voltage is unbalanced, it may cause damage to the IGBT.
[0003] The existing method of controlling the voltage balance of the flying capacitor takes BOOST (boost mode) as an example to maintain the voltage balance of the flying capacitor by controlling the on and off time of Q1 and Q2. The core is that if the flying capacitor voltage is lower than the target value, the on time ΔD1 of Q1 is increased, that is, the charging time of the flying capacitor is increased, and the on time ΔD2 of Q2 is reduced, that is, the discharge time of the flying capacitor is reduced. Since the voltage of the flying capacitor and the output voltage are coupled, that is, changing the voltage of the flying capacitor may cause a change in the output voltage, the existing method decouples the flying capacitor voltage and the output voltage through ΔD1=ΔD2. The existing method is feasible when the load variation range is not large, but the existing method for DC-DC applied to the front stage of the motor cannot maintain the voltage balance of the flying capacitor within the full power range. And due to the existence of the flying capacitor, the flying capacitor needs to be pre-charged when the DC-DC is started, and the existing pre-charging cost through hardware is relatively high.

[0071] 2.5 Working Principle
[0072] The duty cycle and phase difference of the four IGBT (IGBT switch tube) drive signals are calculated by adjusting the bus voltage outer loop 1, the flying capacitor voltage loop 4, and the inductor current inner loop 2 to achieve the purpose of boosting the lithium battery to power the motor driver.

Drive signals Q1 and Q4 are obtained through the PWM unit 17, and the drive signals of Q1 and Q4 are complementary. Through this hybrid control of variable duty cycle and variable phase, the voltage stability of the flying capacitor can be well maintained, and the flying capacitor voltage will not be unbalanced due to sudden changes in load.

[0074] The following is a detailed description of each component.
[0075] 3.1. Lithium battery voltage outer ring 6

In the buck mode, D2=D+ΔD, D1=D-ΔD, and the phase difference between Q1 and Q2 is 180°+ΔD°.
[0089] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment also provides a control method for a bidirectional three-level DC-DC converter, comprising the following steps:
[0090] Capacitor pre-charging step: pre-charge the lithium battery capacitor, flying capacitor and bus capacitor;
[0091] The pre-charging process requires the microcontroller to collect the battery voltage Uin, flying capacitor voltage Uf, bus voltage Uo, and inductor current IL. When the capacitor is charged, it is equivalent to a short circuit, and a pre-charging resistor is required to limit the current. There are three capacitors Cin, Co, and Cf in the circuit that need to be pre-charged. When the relay K1 is closed, the current passes through the pre-charging resistor R to pre-charge Cin and Co.
[0092] The pre-charging of the flying capacitor Cf requires turning on Q1 and turning off Q2 after the DC / DC controller is powered on and initialized, and then waiting for K1 to close. When K1 is closed, the current passes through the pre-charging resistor R, the energy storage inductor L, and the diode in parallel with Q3. The flying capacitor Cf and IGBT Q1 circuit pre-charges Cf. The pre-charging circuit of the flying capacitor Cf is as follows: Figure 3 The pre-charge flow chart of the flying capacitor Cf is shown in Figure 2 shown.

[0096] S203: Close the first relay switch K1;
[0097] S204: monitor in real time and determine whether the flying capacitor voltage Uf is not less than half of the lithium battery voltage. If the condition is not met, continue waiting. If the condition is met, execute step S205;
[0098] S205: Turn off the first switch tube Q1 and the second switch tube Q2;
[0099] S206: Real-time monitoring and judging whether the actual bus voltage Uo is equal to the lithium battery voltage Uin, if the condition is not met, continue to wait, if it is met, the pre-charging of the flying capacitor is completed. After the pre-charging is completed, wait for the system command to enter the boost mode or the open-loop mode.
[0100] Boost mode control step: when the bidirectional three-level DC-DC converter is in boost mode, it is controlled by the boost control device of the bidirectional three-level DC-DC converter as described above, and the bus voltage is monitored in real time. If the bus voltage is greater than a preset high voltage threshold, it is switched to buck mode;
