AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The synchronous carrier DPWM cannot effectively control the midpoint voltage balance in a three-level converter because it lacks redundant small vectors and redundant zero vectors, and cannot utilize the existing method of reassigning redundant small vector action time.

Method used

By obtaining the voltage difference between the current synchronous carrier DPWM type and the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm voltage, the determination of the absolute value is greater than the deviation threshold. If so, determine the zero -order component based on the symbol of the current synchronous carrier DPWM type and the voltage difference, and determine the three -phase adjustment wave according to the zero -order component to control the three levels of the current to achieve the midpoint voltage balance.

Benefits of technology

While maintaining the symmetry of the output voltage waveform and reducing the frequency of the switch, it effectively eliminates the midpoint voltage deviation, improves the safety and reliability of the three levels of the three levels, and reduces the hazards of the imbalance of the midpoint voltage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of converters, and in particular to a synchronous carrier DPWM midpoint voltage balancing method, system and related components. Background Art

[0002] The three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) converter is the most commonly used three-level converter. Its main circuit topology is as follows: Figure 1 Due to the advantages of low device voltage stress, simple structure and control, and easy bidirectional energy flow, three-level converters have been widely used in photovoltaic and wind power generation, variable frequency speed regulation, metallurgical mining and other fields.

[0003] The three-level converter outputs three levels from high to low, which can be defined as P level, O level, and N level respectively. The space vector of the three-level converter is summarized as Figure 2 . Figure 2 Each space vector can be classified into zero vector, P-type small vector, N-type small vector, medium vector and large vector, as shown in Table 1 below, where zero vectors OOO / PPP / NNN are mutually redundant zero vectors, and P-type small vectors and N-type small vectors at the same position are mutually redundant small vectors.

[0004] Table 1 Types of voltage space vectors for three-level converters

[0005]

[0006] Synchronous DPWM (Discontinuous Pulse Width Modulation) is a commonly used synchronous modulation strategy for three-level converters. Regarding the research on synchronous DPWM, the paper "Space-vector-based synchronized three-level discontinuous PWM for medium-voltage high-power VSI" (Beig AR, Kanukollu S, Hosani KA, et al. [J]. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2014, 61 (8): 3891-3901.) proposed a method by clamping the phase voltage at the P or N level. Figure 3The four types of synchronous DPWM are shown and are defined as synchronous DPWM 1, synchronous DPWM 2, synchronous DPWM 3 and synchronous DPWM 4. These four types of synchronous DPWM can eliminate the harmonics of multiples of 3 and even harmonics in the line voltage, thereby improving the quality of the output waveform, but the phase voltage under its action has a two-level jump, which threatens the safe operation of the three-level converter. To overcome this defect, the patent "Synchronous carrier DPWM method for avoiding two-level jumps of phase voltage of three-level inverter" (Zhang Bo. [P]. Invention Patent, 2019, CN 201911186556.3) proposes synchronous carrier DPWM1, synchronous carrier DPWM 2, synchronous carrier DPWM 3 and synchronous carrier DPWM 4 to avoid two-level jumps of phase voltage of three-level inverter. The four types of synchronous carrier DPWM simplify the calculation and avoid two-level jumps of phase voltage while ensuring the symmetry of the output waveform, so they are more suitable for high-power three-level converters. In addition, the paper "Research on Improved Synchronous Discontinuous Carrier Pulse Width Modulation Strategy for Three-Level Inverter" (Gao Zhan, Li Yaohua, Ge Qiongxuan, et al. [J]. Proceedings of the CSEE, 2020, 40(17): 5620-5636) proposed a method by clamping the phase voltage at the zero level. Figure 4 The synchronous carrier DPWM A, synchronous carrier DPWM B, synchronous carrier DPWM C, synchronous carrier DPWM D, synchronous carrier DPWM E, synchronous carrier DPWM F and synchronous carrier DPWM G shown can all satisfy waveform symmetry and reduce switching frequency.

[0007] However, in addition to reducing the switching frequency and maintaining waveform symmetry, midpoint voltage balance control is also a key issue for high-power three-level converters. Traditional pulse width modulation can control the midpoint voltage balance by redistributing the action time of redundant small vectors, while synchronous carrier DPWM only uses specific small vectors or specific zero vectors in each sampling cycle. It does not have redundant small vectors and redundant zero vectors, and cannot use the existing method of redistributing the action time of redundant small vectors to control the midpoint voltage balance.

[0070] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0071] Traditional pulse width modulation can control the midpoint voltage balance by redistributing the action time of redundant small vectors, while synchronous carrier DPWM only uses specific small vectors or specific zero vectors in each sampling cycle. It does not have redundant small vectors and redundant zero vectors, and cannot use the existing method of redistributing the action time of redundant small vectors to control the midpoint voltage balance.

[0072] When the absolute value of the voltage difference is greater than the deviation threshold, that is, when a midpoint voltage deviation occurs, the present application determines the zero-sequence component according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type and the voltage difference, and determines the three-phase modulation wave with the zero-sequence component, thereby eliminating the midpoint voltage deviation and achieving midpoint voltage balance.

[0073] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a synchronous carrier DPWM midpoint voltage balancing method, which is applied to the modulation process of a three-level converter. Figure 5 As shown, including:

[0074] S1: Get the current synchronous carrier DPWM type;

[0075] S2: Obtain the upper bridge arm voltage and the lower bridge arm voltage on the DC side, and calculate the voltage difference between the upper bridge arm voltage and the lower bridge arm voltage;

[0076] It can be understood that the DC side here refers to the DC side of the three-level converter.

[0077] S3: Determine whether the absolute value of the voltage difference is greater than the deviation threshold;

[0078] S4: If yes, determine the zero-sequence component according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type and the sign of the voltage difference;

[0079] S5: determining a three-phase modulation wave according to the zero-sequence component to control a three-level converter;

[0080] It can be understood that if the absolute value of the voltage difference is not greater than the deviation threshold, the midpoint voltage is balanced at this time, and step S4 does not need to be executed. The original control strategy is executed to determine the three-phase modulation wave with the original zero-sequence component to control the three-level converter. The deviation threshold is a parameter set in advance and can be selected according to the actual working conditions.

[0081] The present application controls the midpoint voltage balance while retaining the synchronous carrier DPWM to reduce the switching frequency and maintain the three-phase symmetry and half-wave symmetry of the output voltage waveform, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the three-level converter and reducing the harm of the midpoint voltage imbalance. In addition, the implementation of the present application does not require a PI controller, and the calculation is simple and the application is convenient.

[0082] The current synchronous carrier DPWM type is any one of DPWM 1, DPWM 2, DPWM 3, DPWM4, DPWM A, DPWM B, DPWM C, DPWM D, DPWM E, DPWM F, and DPWM G.

[0083] Based on the above eleven optional synchronous carrier DPWM types, step S1 specifically includes: determining the current synchronous carrier DPWM type according to the phase voltage clamping state. It can be understood that the phase voltage clamping states corresponding to the eleven synchronous carrier DPWM types are already in Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is shown in the figure. According to the current phase voltage clamping state, the current synchronous carrier DPWM type can be found. Specifically:

[0084] 1) For synchronous carrier DPWM 1, the A-phase voltage is clamped at the P level in the phase angle region of 60 to 120 degrees, and at the N level in the phase angle region of 240 to 300 degrees; the B-phase voltage is clamped at the P level in the phase angle region of 180 to 240 degrees, and at the N level in the phase angle region of 0 to 60 degrees; the C-phase voltage is clamped at the P level in the phase angle region of 300 to 360 degrees, and at the N level in the phase angle region of 120 to 180 degrees;

[0089] 6) For synchronous carrier DPWM B, the A-phase voltage is clamped at the 0 level in the phase angle regions of 60 to 90 degrees, 150 to 180 degrees, 240 to 270 degrees, and 330 to 360 degrees, the B-phase voltage is clamped at the 0 level in the phase angle regions of 0 to 30 degrees, 90 to 120 degrees, 180 to 210 degrees, and 270 to 300 degrees, and the C-phase voltage is clamped at the 0 level in the phase angle regions of 30 to 60 degrees, 120 to 150 degrees, 210 to 240 degrees, and 300 to 330 degrees;

[0090] 7) For synchronous carrier DPWM C, the A-phase voltage is clamped at the 0 level in the phase angle regions of 0 to 30 degrees, 90 to 120 degrees, 180 to 210 degrees, and 270 to 300 degrees, the B-phase voltage is clamped at the 0 level in the phase angle regions of 30 to 60 degrees, 120 to 150 degrees, 210 to 240 degrees, and 300 to 330 degrees, and the C-phase voltage is clamped at the 0 level in the phase angle regions of 60 to 90 degrees, 150 to 180 degrees, 240 to 270 degrees, and 330 to 360 degrees;

[0091] 8) For synchronous carrier DPWM D, the A-phase voltage is clamped at 0 level in the phase angle region of 60 to 120 degrees and 240 to 300 degrees, the B-phase voltage is clamped at 0 level in the phase angle region of 0 to 60 degrees and 180 to 240 degrees, and the C-phase voltage is clamped at 0 level in the phase angle region of 120 to 180 degrees and 300 to 360 degrees;

[0092] 9) For synchronous carrier DPWM E, the A-phase voltage is clamped at 0 level in the phase angle regions of 30 to 60 degrees, 120 to 150 degrees, 210 to 240 degrees, and 300 to 330 degrees, the B-phase voltage is clamped at 0 level in the phase angle regions of 60 to 90 degrees, 150 to 180 degrees, 240 to 270 degrees, and 330 to 360 degrees, and the C-phase voltage is clamped at 0 level in the phase angle regions of 0 to 30 degrees, 90 to 120 degrees, 180 to 210 degrees, and 270 to 300 degrees;

[0095] Further, step S4 is a process of determining the zero-sequence component according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type and the sign of the voltage difference. When the current synchronous carrier DPWM type is different, the principle of determining the zero-sequence component is different. Generally, the eleven synchronous carrier DPWM types are divided into three categories, among which DPWM 1-DPWM 4 with a modulation ratio less than a preset modulation ratio is one category, DPWM AD and DPWM 1-4 with a modulation ratio not less than a preset modulation ratio are one category, and DPWM EG is one category. The specific zero-sequence component determination process can be described in the following embodiments.

[0096] Further, step S5 specifically includes: determining the three-phase modulation wave after the sampling point according to the zero-sequence component to control the three-level converter. It can be understood that when the absolute value of the voltage difference is greater than the deviation threshold, that is, the midpoint voltage is unbalanced, the original zero-sequence component needs to be switched to a new zero-sequence component, thereby realizing the control from the original three-phase modulation wave to the new three-phase modulation wave, and the switching moment is the sampling point, and the selection of the sampling point is as follows:

[0097] When Carr_up=1 and Carr_dn=0, the peak value of the triangular carrier is selected as the sampling point;

[0098] When Carr_up=0 and Carr_dn=-1, the triangular carrier zero point is selected as the sampling point.

[0099] Among them, Carr_up is the upper triangular carrier per unit value of the three-level converter, and its value range is 0 to 1; Carr_dn is the lower triangular carrier per unit value of the three-level converter, and its value range is -1 to 0.

[0100] Among them, the calculation process of determining the three-phase modulation wave according to the zero-sequence component is as follows:

In the present application, when the absolute value of the voltage difference is greater than the deviation threshold, that is, when a midpoint voltage deviation occurs, the zero-sequence component is determined according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type and the voltage difference, and the three-phase modulation wave is determined by the zero-sequence component, thereby eliminating the midpoint voltage deviation and achieving midpoint voltage balance.

[0104] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a specific synchronous carrier DPWM midpoint voltage balancing method. Compared with the previous embodiment, this embodiment further illustrates and optimizes the technical solution.

[0105] Specifically, if the current synchronous carrier is any one of DPWM E, DPWM F, and DPWM G, the process of determining the zero-sequence component according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type and the sign of the voltage difference includes:

[0106] If the sign of the voltage difference is positive, the zero-sequence component is determined to be -Vmin, and if the sign of the voltage difference is negative, the zero-sequence component is determined to be -Vmax;

[0107] Among them, Vmin is the minimum value of the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave, and Vmax is the maximum value of the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave.

[0108] It is understandable that for the other two categories, other auxiliary judgment conditions need to be added. Therefore, the synchronous carrier DPWM midpoint voltage balancing method also includes:

[0109] Determine whether the current synchronous carrier DPWM type needs to obtain operating parameters;

[0110] If yes, obtain the corresponding operating parameters according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type;

[0111] Correspondingly, step S4 is a process of determining the zero-sequence component according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type and the sign of the voltage difference, including:

[0112] The zero-sequence component is determined according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type, operating parameters and the sign of the voltage difference.

[0113] If the current synchronous carrier DPWM type is any one of DPWM 1-4, it is necessary to obtain operating parameters, which at least include the current modulation ratio. If the current modulation ratio is not less than the preset modulation ratio, it is necessary to obtain other operating parameters, which include the current target current and the current phase angle.

[0114] If the current synchronous carrier DPWM type is any of DPWM AD, it is necessary to obtain the operating parameters, which include the current target current and the current phase angle;

[0115] If the current synchronous carrier DPWM type is any one of DPWM EG, the zero-sequence component can be directly determined without obtaining the operating parameters.

[0116] Therefore, if the current synchronous carrier DPWM type is any of DPWM1, DPWM2, DPWM3, and DPWM4, the operating parameters include the current modulation ratio; if the current modulation ratio is not less than the preset modulation ratio, the operating parameters also include the current target current and the current phase angle;

[0117] The process of obtaining the current modulation ratio includes: Mi = VL-L / Vdc, where Mi is the modulation ratio, the value range is 0 to 1, VL-L is the fundamental amplitude of the output line voltage of the three-level converter, and Vdc is the DC side voltage of the three-level converter. The preset modulation ratio can be set according to the working conditions, and the value range is also between 0 and 1, and can usually be set to 0.5.

[0118] Accordingly, the process of determining the zero-sequence component according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type, operating parameters and the sign of the voltage difference includes:

[0119] When the current modulation ratio is less than the preset modulation ratio, if the sign of the voltage difference is positive, the zero-sequence component is determined to be 1-Vmax; if the sign of the voltage difference is negative, the zero-sequence component is determined to be -Vmin-1;

[0120] When the current modulation ratio is not less than the preset modulation ratio, determining whether a first condition is satisfied, the first condition comprising: the sign of the voltage difference is the same as the sign of the current target current and the current phase angle is in the target phase angle region, or the sign of the voltage difference is opposite to the sign of the current target current and the current phase angle is not in the target phase angle region;

[0121] If so, the zero-sequence component is determined to be -Umin;

[0122] If not, the zero-sequence component is determined to be 1-Umax;

[0123] Among them, Vmin is the minimum value of the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave, Vmax is the maximum value of the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave, Umin is the minimum value of the processed modulation wave, Umax is the maximum value of the processed modulation wave, and the processed modulation wave is the modulation wave after processing the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave. The processing includes: adding a reference voltage value to the negative value of the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave; at this time, no adjustment is made to the positive value.

[0124] The target phase angle area includes three target phase angle partitions, which are:

[0125] 0°-60°, 120°-180° and 240°-300°;

[0126] If the current phase angle is between 60°-120° or 240°-300°, the current target current is the A-phase current of the three-level converter;

[0127] If the current phase angle is between 120° and 180° or between 300° and 360°, the current target current is the C-phase current of the three-level converter;

[0128] If the current phase angle is between 180° and 240° or between 0° and 60°, the current target current is the B-phase current of the three-level converter.

[0129] Similarly, if the current synchronous carrier DPWM type is any one of DPWM A, DPWM B, DPWM C, and DPWM D, the operating parameters include the current target current and the current phase angle;

[0130] Accordingly, the process of determining the zero-sequence component according to the current synchronous carrier DPWM type, operating parameters and the sign of the voltage difference includes:

[0131] Determine whether a first condition is met, the first condition comprising: the sign of the voltage difference is the same as the sign of the current target current and the current phase angle is in the target phase angle region, or the sign of the voltage difference is opposite to the sign of the current target current and the current phase angle is not in the target phase angle region;

[0132] If so, the zero-sequence component is determined to be -Umin;

[0133] If not, the zero-sequence component is determined to be 1-Umax;

[0134] Wherein, Umin is the minimum value of the processed modulation wave, Umax is the maximum value of the processed modulation wave, and the processed modulation wave is the modulation wave after processing the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave, and the processing includes: adding a reference voltage value to the negative value of the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave;

[0135] The target phase angle region includes three target phase angle partitions, and the three target phase angle partitions are 0°-60°, 120°-180° and 240°-300° respectively;

[0136] If the current phase angle is between 60°-120° or 240°-300°, the current target current is the A-phase current of the three-level converter;

[0137] If the current phase angle is between 120° and 180° or between 300° and 360°, the current target current is the C-phase current of the three-level converter;

[0138] If the current phase angle is between 180° and 240° or between 0° and 60°, the current target current is the B-phase current of the three-level converter.

[0139] Obviously, the determination of the zero-sequence component when DPWM 1-4 and the current modulation ratio is not less than the preset modulation ratio is the same as the determination of the zero-sequence component when DPWM AD is used.

[0140] Specifically, the zero-sequence component values for each case are shown in Table 1 below:

[0141] Table 1 Zero-sequence component values

[0142]

[0143] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a specific synchronous carrier DPWM neutral point voltage balancing method. Compared with the previous embodiment, this embodiment further explains and optimizes the technical solution.

[0144] Specifically, during the implementation of the synchronous carrier DPWM neutral point voltage balancing method, each parameter can be calculated by per-unit value. Given that Umin is the minimum value of the processed modulation wave, Umax is the maximum value of the processed modulation wave, and the processed modulation wave is the modulation wave after processing the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave. At this time, the processing under per-unit value is mainly to add 1 to the negative value of the three-phase sinusoidal modulation wave.

[0145] Specifically, for the convenience of calculation, the signs of the voltage difference and the target current can be recorded by means of flag values. For example:

[0146] When Vdc_up - Vdc_dn > NVL, let NVflag = 1;

[0147] When Vdc_up - Vdc_dn < -NVL, let NVflag = -1;

[0148] When -NVL < Vdc_up and Vdc_dn < NVL, let NVflag = 0.

[0149] Among them, Vdc_up represents the capacitor voltage of the upper bridge arm on the DC side of the three-level converter, simply referred to as the upper bridge arm voltage, Vdc_dn represents the capacitor voltage of the lower bridge arm on the DC side of the three-level converter, simply referred to as the lower bridge arm voltage, NVL is the unbalanced neutral point voltage limit value, that is, the deviation threshold, and NVflag represents the neutral point voltage balance flag bit. When the absolute value of the voltage difference is greater than the deviation threshold, if the sign of the voltage difference is positive, NVflag is 1, if the sign of the voltage difference is negative, NVflag is -1, and if the absolute value of the voltage difference is not greater than the deviation threshold, NVflag is 0, and the zero-sequence component maintains its original state.

[0150] Similarly, the sign of the current target current can also be recorded by means of flag values. For example:

[0151] If the current phase is between 60 and 120 degrees or 240 and 300 degrees, the current target current is the A-phase current Ia of the three-level converter. If Ia > 0, let Inflag = 1, otherwise let Inflag = -1;

[0152] If the current phase is between 120 and 180 degrees or between 300 and 360 degrees, the current target current is the C-phase current Ic of the three-level converter. If Ic>0, set Inflag=1, otherwise set Inflag=-1;

[0153] If the current phase is between 180 and 240 degrees or between 0 and 60 degrees, the current target current is the B-phase current Ib of the three-level converter. If Ib>0, Inflag=1, otherwise Inflag=-1.

[0154] Among them, Inflag is used as the current target current flag bit, indicating the sign of the current target current. If the current target current is positive, Inflag is 1, otherwise Inflag is -1.

[0155] Furthermore, when judging the first condition, there is a judgment on whether the sign of the voltage difference is the same as the sign of the current target current. At this time, it can be determined by whether the product of NVflag and Inflag is positive. If NVflag*Inflag>0, the signs are the same, otherwise the signs are opposite.

[0156] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a specific synchronous carrier DPWM midpoint voltage balancing method. Compared with the previous embodiment, this embodiment further illustrates and optimizes the technical solution.

Figure 6aIt can be seen that when the modulation strategy of the three-level converter is synchronous carrier DPWM 1, if the method is not implemented to balance the midpoint voltage, the deviation between the upper bridge arm capacitor voltage and the lower bridge arm capacitor voltage on the DC side will always exist, causing the switching device to withstand excessive voltage, endangering the safe operation of the three-level converter. Figure 6a and Figure 6b After adding the midpoint voltage balance control method of the present invention, the synchronous carrier DPWM 1 switches the zero-sequence component according to the midpoint voltage flag, and can control the DC side upper bridge arm capacitor voltage and the lower bridge arm capacitor voltage to gradually restore the balance while reducing the switching frequency, thereby reducing the harm of midpoint voltage imbalance and improving the safety and reliability of the three-level converter. In addition, Figure 6c It is shown that the method of the present application can eliminate the harmonics of multiples of three and even harmonics in the line voltage while balancing the midpoint voltage.
