[0065] In the following, a double-ended three-level energy storage converter is described in detail.

[0068] The dual-channel full-bridge isolation circuit outputs U to capacitor C5 H and capacitor C4 output U L Open-loop control is performed to ensure that it always operates at the resonant frequency point, keeping the gain fixed and the efficiency optimized. At the same time, the use of high-frequency transformer + switching circuit greatly reduces the volume and weight of the energy storage inverter.

[0069] When the DC input voltage of the energy storage converter is high and a large boost ratio is not required, the capacitor C1 is used to connect the dual-bridge isolation circuit and the T-type inverter circuit at the subsequent stage. When the DC end needs to adapt to a wider voltage range, a Buck-Boost circuit can also be included.

[0070] Specifically, the Buck-Boost circuit includes a capacitor C1, and the dual-bridge isolation circuit is connected to the DC end through the Buck-Boost circuit to broaden the DC end voltage adaptation range.

[0071] Specifically, the T-type inverter circuit includes switch tubes S11 to S18, a capacitor C6, and an inductor L2; wherein the emitter of the switch tube S15 is connected to the emitter of the switch tube S17 and is connected to the positive end of the low-voltage bus of the dual-path full-bridge isolation circuit; the collector of the switch tube S15 is connected to the collector of the switch tube S16, and the collector of the switch tube S17 is connected to the collector of the switch tube S18; the emitter of the switch tube S11 is connected to the collector of the switch tube S12, wherein the collector of the switch tube S12 is connected to the collector of the switch tube S16.

By adjusting the switching voltage U G , for U H , UL performs closed-loop control.

[0072] The switch tubes S11, S12, S13, S14, S15, S16, S17, and S18 form a T-type three-level circuit, which effectively reduces the switching loss of each switch tube, reduces the AC harmonic voltage and current, and improves the grid-side waveform quality. The anode of capacitor C5, the anode of capacitor C4, and the cathode of C4 form a three-level circuit, which is divided into three working modes, making full use of the capacitor voltage. The midpoint voltage of the bridge arm branch can better approach the sine, which can reduce the volume and weight of inductor L2 and capacitor C6, and improve the power density of the converter.

[0073] The three working modes of the T-type inverter circuit output / input AC voltage include: when the output / input AC voltage is lower than UL When the output / input AC voltage is lower than or higher than U L At the same time, it is lower than U G When the output / input AC voltage is higher than U G At the same time, it is lower than U H When it switches to high-voltage single-ended power supply mode, U L is the voltage across capacitor C4, U H is the voltage across capacitor C5.

[0074] The control circuit sampling information includes the DC input / output DC voltage and current, the high-voltage bus and low-voltage bus voltage and current values ​​in the dual-bridge isolation circuit, and the voltage and current values ​​at both ends of the T-type inverter circuit C6; the control circuit adjusts the switching voltage U according to the sampling information G .

[0076] Based on the control signal of the control circuit, the drive circuit generates a first drive signal to drive the switch tube in the dual full-bridge isolation circuit to be turned on and off, generates a second drive signal to drive the switch tube in the T-type inverter circuit to be turned on and off, and generates a third drive signal to drive the switch tube in the Buck-Boost circuit to be turned on and off.

[0077] When the DC terminal inputs a DC voltage and the T-type inverter circuit outputs an AC voltage signal, the double-terminal three-level energy storage converter works in the inverter state. In the inverter state:

[0078] The Buck-Boost circuit works in the Boost state, and energy flows from the DC side to the AC side. In a control cycle, when the switch tube S2 is turned on, the current flows through the capacitor C1, the inductor L1, and the switch tube S2. The current of the inductor L1 increases and stores energy in the inductor L1. When the switch tube S2 is turned off, the current flows through the capacitor C1, the inductor L1, the switch tube S1, and the capacitor C2. The current of the inductor L1 decreases, and the energy stored in the inductor L1 is released to charge the capacitor C2.

At this time, the Buck-Boost circuit inputs its voltage U d The pump is raised to U2 for use in the subsequent dual-path full-bridge isolation circuit.

[0081] The dual-channel full-bridge isolation circuit adopts open-loop control. In one control cycle, capacitor C2 charges capacitors C4 and C5, establishes a low-voltage bus voltage on capacitor C4, and establishes a high-voltage bus voltage on capacitor C5. According to the energy conservation on the transformer, there is the following relationship:

[0082]

[0083] Among them, U2 is the voltage across capacitor C2, U L is the low voltage bus voltage across capacitor C4, U H is the high voltage bus voltage across capacitor C5, N p is the number of turns of the primary side of the high-frequency transformer T1, N s is the number of turns on the secondary side of the high-frequency transformer T1.

[0084] The T-type inverter circuit adopts closed-loop control and outputs AC voltage signals to achieve three working modes:

[0085] (1) When the voltage across capacitor C6 is v G Lower than the voltage U across C4 L , and when it is lower than the switching voltage UG, the T-type inverter circuit works in a low-voltage single-ended power supply mode, and the capacitor C4 in the circuit transmits power to the AC end.

In each control cycle, the distribution time of the two current loops depends on the pulse width modulation control duty cycle d of the T-type inverter circuit, which is calculated by the following formula:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, v G is the instantaneous value of the voltage across capacitor C6, U L is the voltage across capacitor C4.

In each control cycle, the allocation time of the two current loops depends on the pulse width modulation control duty cycle d of the T-type inverter circuit, which is calculated by the following formula:

[0089]

[0090] Among them, v G is the instantaneous value of the voltage across capacitor C6, U H is the voltage across capacitor C5, U L is the voltage across capacitor C4.

[0091] (3) When the voltage across capacitor C6 is v G Higher than the switching voltage U G , the T-type inverter circuit operates in the high-voltage single-ended power supply mode, and the capacitor C5 in the circuit transmits power to the AC end. In the positive half-cycle of the sine wave, the current loop flows through the capacitor C5, the switch tube S11, the inductor L2, the capacitor C6, the switch tube S14 in sequence to transmit power; or flows through the inductor L2, the capacitor C6, the switch tube S14, and the switch tube S12 in sequence for continuous flow.
