Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power electronics simulation technology, specifically relating to a switching transient modeling method and a power electronic converter simulation method using the same method. Background Technology

[0002] Real-time simulation technology plays a crucial role in the R&D cycle of power electronic converters. By employing hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing based on real-time simulation to construct a semi-physical test environment, comprehensive verification of the controller can be performed even without a real power electronic converter, enabling a parallel development process for both the converter and the controller. Simultaneously, HIL allows for rapid iteration of controller design, safe and worry-free debugging of control code, exploration of operational boundaries, testing of extreme performance, and simulation of fault conditions. This provides a fast, safe, and efficient digital verification environment for converter R&D, effectively improving the overall development efficiency.

[0003] The form of the real-time simulation model directly determines the functionality that HIL testing can achieve. Considering the characteristics of power electronic converters, such as high switching frequency and strong nonlinearity, real-time simulation models of converters are mainly classified into the following categories based on the power switching model used:

[0004] The first type is the equivalent averaging model based on switching cycle states. This model averages the voltage and current changes caused within a switching cycle, treating the power electronic converter as a linear model to describe its static behavior. This type of model is mainly used for real-time simulation of large-scale power networks, where the converter is only a functional component in the modeling. Because it ignores switching events, it cannot be used for HIL testing of power electronic converters.

[0005] The second category is real-time simulation models of converter systems, constructed using ideal switches, binary resistor switch models, and ADC switch models. The ideal switch model treats turning on as a short circuit and turning off as a short circuit; the binary resistor model treats turning on as a small resistance (10... -5 ~10 -3 Ω), the turn-off is equivalent to a large resistance (10 Ω), 3 ~10 6 (Ω); The ADC model treats turn-on as a small inductor and turn-off as a capacitor. The system-level real-time simulation model retains the description of switching events but ignores the behavior of the power semiconductor devices themselves, such as switching transients, device stress, switching losses, EMI, etc. Therefore, HIL can only verify closed-loop control functions and cannot provide any information other than steady-state voltage and current.

[0006] Due to the strict limitations on model computation time in real-time simulation, equivalent average models and system-level real-time simulation models have long been the main technical approaches for achieving real-time simulation of power electronics due to their simple structure and ease of solution. For example, binary resistor models and ADC models are widely used in current commercial real-time simulation systems, such as those from companies like RTDS, Opal-RT, Typhoon HIL, and Yuankuan Energy. With the development of FPGA simulation technology, device-level real-time simulation of power electronics has become a research hotspot in this field in recent years. Device-level real-time simulation uses transient behavior models of power semiconductors to simulate switching transient current and voltage waveforms, making real-time simulation more realistic. It can simulate non-ideal switching processes of converters, switching losses, device stress, EMI, and electrothermal coupling characteristics. This further expands the testing capabilities of HIL, enabling the testing of optimization control strategies, device protection strategies, and thermal management strategies based on device stress, converter efficiency, and electromagnetic interference suppression. However, device-level real-time simulation faces stricter computation time constraints: on the one hand, switching transient processes are rapid, and to accurately describe the switching transient waveforms, the step size of real-time simulation needs to be as low as nanoseconds; on the other hand, transient models often have complex model structures and nonlinear characteristics, making them difficult to solve and time-consuming. Therefore, the main applications of device-level real-time simulation are currently high-power converters with long switching transient processes, such as power conversion based on MMC converters, high-voltage DC circuit breakers, and high-speed train traction systems.

[0007] Currently, the main device-level real-time simulation models used both domestically and internationally include: 1) nonlinear equivalent circuit models; 2) piecewise linear transient models; 3) quasi-transient models; and 4) curve fitting models. Nonlinear equivalent circuit models refer to directly using nonlinear equivalent circuit models such as IGBTs, MOSFETs, and diodes in real-time simulation. While this method maximizes the consistency between real-time and offline models, the nonlinearity and discontinuities of the model lead to significant computational overhead, limiting simulation speed. It is generally only used for microsecond-level switching transient simulations. Piecewise linear transient models linearize the nonlinear equivalent circuit model piecewise and use a discrete event-based triggering mechanism to handle model discontinuities, reducing simulation latency to 50ns in a highly parallel manner. However, this approach consumes significant FPGA computing resources, limiting the topology size of the simulated object. Quasi-transient models consider the differences in time scale between electrical network behavior and switching transient behavior, decoupling system behavior simulation from switching behavior simulation using a two-level simulation structure. Datasheet-driven models, high-resolution models, and Hammerstein models are representative examples. This two-stage simulation method can simulate switching transients with a minimum accuracy of 5ns. However, the switching transient model is not involved in the simulation of the electrical network, meaning that the simulation accuracy of the converter is still at the system level.

[0008] Curve fitting models describe the switching transient process by fitting transient waveforms obtained from offline measurements and then proportionally adjusting them according to steady-state voltage and current in real-time simulations. Unlike nonlinear equivalent circuit models and piecewise linear models, curve fitting models do not involve numerical solutions to the switching equivalent circuit model, thus requiring less computation and allowing for smaller real-time simulation step sizes. Compared to quasi-transient models, curve fitting models can apply transient behavior to the simulation of electrical networks, thereby improving the accuracy of converter real-time simulation models. However, because curve fitting models use switching transient waveforms obtained from offline measurements at specific operating points, while the switching transient process varies with operating conditions, curve fitting models have poor versatility and cannot adapt to simulations with a wide range of operating conditions. A dynamic curve fitting model has been proposed, where the rise and fall curves of the transient process are described using RL and RC circuits. However, the switching transient process has high-order characteristics, and the accuracy is insufficient when using first-order circuits such as RL and RC. Furthermore, the simulation step size of this model is 500 ns, which cannot accurately describe the switching transient process when simulating most converters.

[0009] This shows that real-time simulation at the device level of power electronic converters faces a contradiction between simulation accuracy and simulation speed, while curve fitting models that can balance model accuracy and simulation speed have the problem of poor versatility. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, the switching transient modeling method proposed in this invention has strong versatility and is easy to promote.

[0099] like Figure 3 As shown, the power electronic converter simulation method of the present invention is a real-time simulation method, and the specific steps include:

[0100] Step B1: Read the simulation results from the previous step;

[0101] Step B2: Obtain the input voltage V of the current simulation step and the half-bridge circuit. CC and input current I L This achieves decoupling of the half-bridge circuit;

[0107] In this embodiment, step B2 involves obtaining the input voltage V of the current simulation step and the half-bridge circuit. CC and input current I L Decoupling of a half-bridge circuit can be achieved using transmission line modeling, voltage-current coupling, or explicit integration.

[0108] To verify the technical effectiveness of the power electronic converter simulation method of the present invention, a verification experiment was conducted.

[0109] Taking the FF450R12ME4 module as an example, an adaptive curve fitting model was established. The control model was an IGBT diode model built using the Model Architect tool in the Saber offline simulation software. The offline measured switching waveforms and switching times were obtained from the simulation results of this control model.

[0110] The transient simulation accuracy of the adaptive curve fitting model was tested using different voltages and currents. The current range was 100A to 400A, and the switching waveforms were tested at 490V and 584V respectively. Figure 4 This is a set of FPGA-based transient simulation results for a 300A / 500V switch. The upper part shows the Saber simulation results, and the lower part shows the FPGA-based simulation results. Figure 4 As can be seen, the simulation results of the two methods are consistent.

[0111] Figure 5 (a) and (b) are the switching times of the transient waveforms of the adaptive curve fitting model tested at 490V and 584V, respectively, including the current rise time and voltage fall time of the turn-on transient, and the current fall time and voltage fall time of the turn-off transient. Figure 5 (c) and (d) show the switching losses of the adaptive curve fitting model tested at 490V and 584V, respectively, including turn-on energy loss and turn-off energy loss under different load currents. Figure 5 It can be seen that the adaptive curve fitting model is accurate over a wide operating range. Although errors can be observed at some operating points, considering that the adaptive curve fitting model uses a fixed time step of 25ns for simulation, while Saber uses a variable time step of 1ns, such errors are difficult to avoid in fixed-step real-time simulation. Based on the adaptive curve fitting model, while ensuring the efficiency of device-level real-time simulation, the model can maintain high accuracy over a wide operating range.

[0112] A real-time simulation modeling method based on adaptive curve fitting was used to perform real-time simulations of a two-phase interleaved parallel Boost converter and a three-phase inverter, respectively. The two-phase interleaved parallel Boost converter is shown below. Figure 6 As shown in Table 1, the parameters are as follows. It operates in open-loop control mode, with the two PWM channels 180° out of phase and both having a duty cycle of 0.4. The FPGA model uses 40-bit fixed-point numbers, and the final FPGA simulation step size is 25ns.
