Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to signal modulation methods, apparatus, devices and media based on PAM+PWM. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of social science and technology, the national electricity consumption is increasing day by day, and the problem of power quality is becoming more and more important. Therefore, the research needs for high-quality energy management systems (Static Var Generator (SVG) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)) and energy management + energy transmission systems (energy routers) are becoming more and more urgent. Figure 1 For the existing cascaded H-bridge topology diagram, such as Figure 1 As shown, the common topology of existing SVG, STATCOM, and energy routers is the cascaded H-bridge topology. This topology can collectively handle a very high voltage by cascading, while ensuring that the voltage of each module is not high. Currently, the modulation scheme for cascaded H-bridges in SVG, STATCOM, and energy routers is generally Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) + Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The existing PAM+PWM modulation method only balances power through pulse alternation, which can only guarantee power balance among low-frequency modules over multiple cycles. However, due to physical characteristics, the energy flowing into high-frequency modules during the power frequency cycle is relatively small. This leads to a perpetual power imbalance between high-frequency and low-frequency modules, resulting in increased conduction losses of system switching devices and reduced system efficiency. In addition, power imbalance leads to higher power in some modules, placing higher demands on the capacity limits of transformers, capacitors, and other devices, thus increasing device costs.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0069] The core of this application is to provide a signal modulation method, device, equipment and medium based on PAM+PWM, which can balance the power of high-frequency module and low-frequency module without increasing the cost of components. The high-frequency module corresponds to the second switching module of this application and the low-frequency module corresponds to the first switching module of this application.

[0070] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0071] With the continuous development of social technology, the national electricity consumption is increasing daily, and the issue of power quality is becoming increasingly important. On the one hand, electricity users hope that the power provided by the public power grid is stable enough, including amplitude, frequency, etc., to ensure the long-term reliable operation of electrical equipment and increase its service life. On the other hand, power suppliers put forward various requirements for electrical equipment connected to the grid, such as power factor, harmonic current, etc., to ensure the reliability of power supply. Therefore, the research needs for high-quality energy management systems (Static Var Generator (SVG), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)) and energy management + energy transmission systems (energy routers) are becoming increasingly urgent. Several topologies have emerged to meet this need, including diode-clamped multilevel converters, flying capacitor converters, cascaded H-bridge multilevel converters (CHB), and modular multilevel converters. Based on this, there are several common modulation methods: carrier-layered PWM modulation, carrier phase-shifted PWM modulation, space vector modulation (SVPWM), and stepped wave modulation. Among them, stepped wave modulation is divided into closest level approximation modulation and specific elimination method modulation. If the edge of the step is connected to the modulation wave, it is pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). PAM modulation method is often improved and used. This patent is for a hybrid modulation method of PAM+PWM.

[0072] Figure 1 For the existing cascaded H-bridge topology diagram, such as Figure 1 As shown, the common topology of existing SVG, STATCOM, and energy routers is the cascaded H-bridge topology. This topology can collectively handle a very high voltage by cascading, while ensuring that the voltage of each module is not high. The specific connection method is as follows: H-bridge circuits are set on the three-phase high-voltage bus, and each branch of the H-bridge circuit is equipped with an inductor L and multiple H-bridge power units. Each H-bridge power unit also has an energy storage unit, which can be a DC-DC circuit composed of multiple switching transistors, or a bus capacitor, depending on the specific implementation scenario.

[0073] The signal is modulated using two methods: stepped wave modulation and carrier phase-shift modulation. Figure 2 Here is a schematic diagram of an existing stepped wave obtained through stepped wave modulation, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the stepped wave method uses a limited number of voltage levels and the lowest possible switching frequency to approximate a sinusoidal modulation wave. Pulse cycling is often used in stepped wave control to balance the power between modules over a long period. However, a drawback of stepped waves is that the fitted modulation wave becomes increasingly poor and its harmonic characteristics are also very poor when the number of modules is small. The voltages at each step, from the maximum to the minimum value of the stepped wave, are: 3Udc, 2Udc, Udc, 0, -Udc, -2Udc, -3Udc. Figure 3 The diagram shows an existing triangular carrier and sinusoidal modulated wave obtained through carrier phase-shift modulation, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the carrier phase-shift modulation method generates switching signals by comparing triangular carrier waves with a sinusoidal modulation wave. Each switch has a relatively high frequency, resulting in a well-fitted modulation wave with excellent harmonic characteristics. The more modules there are, the better the harmonic characteristics become. Because the switching frequency of each module remains high, the connection time of each module is almost identical, meaning the power distribution between modules is very balanced. However, the high switching speed leads to significant switching losses. Here, the switching signal is denoted as j, which can be understood as the on / off state of the power devices in the high-frequency module and / or low-frequency module. Multiple triangular carrier waves are provided, and comparing them with the sinusoidal modulation wave yields the voltage of the switching transistors in each module, enabling the corresponding transistors to be turned on or off. In summary, stepped-wave modulation has the advantages of low switching frequency and low switching losses, while carrier phase-shift modulation has the advantage of good harmonic characteristics. Therefore, based on this, a modulation method combining stepped-wave modulation and carrier phase-shift modulation, namely PAM+PWM modulation, is proposed. PAM controls the low-frequency module, and PWM controls the high-frequency module. This modulation method, when using special components in the high-frequency module transmitting the PWM modulation signal, can simultaneously possess the advantages of good carrier phase-shift harmonics and low switching losses when using stepped-wave modulation. First, it should be noted that the module using PAM modulation is designated as the low-frequency module; the module using PWM modulation is designated as the high-frequency module; the low-frequency module is the first switching module, and the high-frequency module is the second switching module. The original modulation wave is determined based on the voltage outer loop and the current inner loop. Figure 4 A simplified topology diagram of a signal modulation circuit based on PAM+PWM provided in this application is shown below. Figure 4As shown, the first switching module consists of Q1-Q4 and additionally includes a DC-DC circuit. It should be noted that Q1-Q4 are all IGBTs from the first to the fourth IGBT. Their specific connection method is as follows: the driving terminals of the first to fourth IGBTs are used to receive driving signals that cause the first to fourth IGBTs to be in a conducting or turning-off state. The first terminal of the first IGBT is connected to the first terminal of the second IGBT, the second terminal of the first IGBT is connected to the first terminal of the third IGBT, the second terminal of the second IGBT is connected to the first terminal of the fourth IGBT, and the second terminal of the third IGBT is connected to the second terminal of the fourth IGBT. The second terminals of both the first and second IGBTs are connected to a bus. The module also includes a bus capacitor, with the first terminal of the bus capacitor connected to the first terminal of the second IGBT and the second terminal of the fourth IGBT. The DC-DC circuit is connected across the two ends of the bus capacitor.

[0074] The second switching module consists of Q5-Q8 transistors and includes an additional DC-DC circuit. It should be noted that Q5-Q8 are the fifth to eighth MOSFETs, connected as follows: the drive terminals of the fifth to eighth MOSFETs receive drive signals that turn them on or off. The first terminal of the fifth MOSFET is connected to the first terminal of the sixth MOSFET, and the second terminal of the fifth MOSFET is connected to the first terminal of the seventh MOSFET. The second terminal of the sixth MOSFET is connected to the first terminal of the eighth MOSFET, and the second terminal of the seventh MOSFET is connected to the second terminal of the eighth MOSFET. The second terminals of both the fifth and sixth MOSFETs are connected to a bus, which also includes a bus capacitor. The first terminal of the bus capacitor is connected to the first terminal of the sixth MOSFET, and the second terminal of the bus capacitor is connected to the second terminal of the eighth MOSFET. The DC-DC circuit is connected across the bus capacitor. Furthermore, both the IGBT and MOSFETs have diodes connected to their respective first and second terminals. The anode of the diode is connected to the second terminal of the switching transistor, and the cathode of the diode is connected to the first terminal of the switching transistor.

[0075] Figure 5 A DC-DC circuit diagram provided in this application, such as Figure 5As shown, the circuit contains 16 switching transistors (S1-S16), 2 Cin capacitors (Cin1-Cin2), 4 Cr capacitors (Cr1-Cr4), 4 Lr inductors (Lr1-Lr4), and 3 Cout capacitors (Cout, Cout1-Cout2). The 16 switching transistors are divided into four groups and connected in a full-bridge circuit structure, with the Cr capacitors and Lr inductors connected correspondingly. Diodes are connected to both ends of the corresponding switching transistors. The 2 Cin capacitors and 2 Cout capacitors (Cout1-Cout2) are connected sequentially to the four arms of the full-bridge circuit, with the Cout capacitors connected to the two right arms of the full-bridge circuit.

[0076] Figure 6 A flowchart of a signal modulation method based on PAM+PWM provided in this application embodiment is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, this application provides a signal modulation method based on PAM+PWM, applied to a CHB topology containing multiple first switching modules and multiple second switching modules, wherein the switching frequency of each switching transistor in the second switching module is greater than the switching frequency of each switching transistor in the first switching module, comprising:

[0077] S60: Acquire the original modulated wave;

[0078] Among them, the stepped wave representing the control of the first switch module and the fan-shaped wave representing the control of the second switch module are both generated based on the original modulation wave, wherein the fan-shaped wave is the difference between the original modulation wave and the stepped wave.

[0079] S61: The original modulated wave is horizontally reduced to obtain the first sinusoidal modulated wave;

[0080] S62: Determine whether the power of the first switching module and the second switching module is in a balanced state based on the first sinusoidal modulation wave;

[0081] S63: When the first sinusoidal modulation wave cannot make the power corresponding to the first and second switching modules equal, the first sinusoidal modulation wave is longitudinally reduced to obtain the second sinusoidal modulation wave.

[0082] S64: Modulates according to the second sinusoidal modulation wave with the aim of jointly optimizing power balance and efficiency.

[0083] The lateral reduction of the original modulated wave specifically includes:

[0084] Under the conditions of central symmetry and a first preset requirement, the original modulated wave is horizontally reduced. The first preset requirement is that the difference between the total voltage of the first switching module and the amplitude of the original modulated wave does not exceed the total voltage of the second switching module, and the total power of the first switching module does not exceed a preset power value of the total power of all switching modules. The total power of all switching modules is the sum of the power of multiple first switching modules and the power of multiple second switching modules.

[0085] The first sinusoidal modulated wave is longitudinally reduced, specifically including:

[0086] Based on central symmetry and a second preset requirement, the first sinusoidal modulation wave is longitudinally reduced. The second preset requirement is that the difference between the total voltage of the first switching module and the amplitude of the original modulation wave does not exceed the total voltage of the second switching module, and the power is balanced based on the balance between the efficiency increase and efficiency decrease when the first and second switching modules are balanced.

[0087] It should also be noted that determining whether the power of the first switching module and the second switching module is in a balanced state specifically includes:

[0088] Obtain the first power corresponding to the first switch module and the second power corresponding to the second switch module;

[0089] Determine whether the difference between the first power and the second power is within the preset power range;

[0090] If so, then it is determined that the power corresponding to the first switching module and the second switching module is in a balanced state;

[0091] If not, then it is determined that the power of the first switching module and the second switching module is not in an unbalanced state.

[0092] The following will illustrate the simplified topology of a PAM+PWM-based signal modulation circuit consisting of four low-frequency modules (first switching module) and two high-frequency modules (second switching module):

[0093] When four first switch modules and two second switch modules are set, the first switch modules are connected sequentially in the vertical direction, and the second switch modules are connected sequentially in the vertical direction. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an unmodulated waveform provided in this application. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a lateral reduction of the original modulated wave provided in this application. Figure 9 A schematic diagram of longitudinal reduction of a first sinusoidal modulated wave provided in this application is shown below. Figures 7 to 9As shown in the diagram, the dividing line in the middle does not represent the switching of individual switches at that point; it merely divides all the steps into left and right sections. The first first switch module is labeled ①, the second ②, the third ③, and the fourth ④; hereinafter referred to as Module 1, Module 2, Module 3, and Module 4. Module 1 is the first to turn on in the lower left corner and the first to turn off in the upper right corner; Module 2 is the second to turn on and the second to turn off; Module 3 is the third to turn on and the third to turn off; and Module 4 is the fourth to turn on and the fourth to turn off. The purpose is to balance the input time of each low-frequency module as much as possible. If Module 1 is the first to turn on and the last to turn off, then the power of Module 1 will be much greater than that of the other low-frequency modules. The difference between the original modulation wave and the stepped wave is used as the fan-shaped wave of the high-frequency module, which is the blank part in the diagram. At this point, the goal of fitting the modulation wave together with the high-frequency modules is achieved. The high-frequency part uses carrier phase shifting to control the high-frequency module. Taking a first sinusoidal modulation amplitude of 8165V and a module voltage of 1800V as an example, the energy proportions of modules 1 to 4 are determined to be 20.81%, 23.70%, 23.70%, and 20.81%, respectively; the energy proportions of the two second switching modules are 5.49% and 5.49%, respectively. In an energy router, uneven load distribution can lead to increased conduction losses and increased transformer rated power, thereby increasing system costs and reducing system efficiency. Therefore, power balancing between high-frequency and low-frequency modules is essential.

[0094] The following is the power equalization control process:

[0095] Firstly, the root cause of power imbalance lies in the excessively long connection time of low-frequency modules to the network side, resulting in excessive input power. Therefore, to achieve power balance between high and low frequencies, the connection time of low-frequency modules must be shortened. This can be achieved by laterally reducing the low-frequency modulation wave. Firstly, ensuring the first modulation wave is symmetrical about the central axis, laterally reducing the original modulation wave results in: module 1 having the largest reduction in turn-on time and the smallest reduction in turn-off time; modules 2 and 3 having roughly equal reductions in turn-on and turn-off times; and module 4 having the smallest reduction in turn-on time and the largest reduction in turn-off time. Calculations show that modules 1 and 4 have significantly reduced turn-on times, while modules 2 and 3 have reduced them less. However, because modules 2 and 3 have larger currents within the reduced time range, the reduced input energy results in a greater overall power balance among the low-frequency modules. Second, the first preset requirement is that the difference between the total voltage of the first switching module and the amplitude of the original modulated wave should not exceed the total voltage of the second switching module, and the total power of the first switching module should not exceed the preset power value of the total power of all switching modules. The total power of all switching modules is the sum of the power of multiple first switching modules and the power of multiple second switching modules. The total voltage of the second switching modules is 3600V, so this difference cannot exceed 3600V; otherwise, the purpose of controlling harmonics will be lost. The preset power value is set to 4 / 6. When the proportion reaches 4 / 6, it means that the power of the four low-frequency modules accounts for 4 / 6 of the total power, and the two high-frequency modules account for 2 / 6 of the power, thus achieving power balance between high and low frequencies. If the low-frequency modulated wave is further reduced at this point, it will continue to cause the low-frequency power to gradually decrease and the power difference to increase in the opposite direction. Secondly, if horizontal reduction cannot achieve complete power balance between the high-frequency and low-frequency modules, vertical reduction of the low-frequency modulated wave can be chosen. First, while maintaining the symmetry of the second modulation wave about the central axis, the second modulation wave is longitudinally reduced. This is manifested in module 1 having the least reduction in turn-on time and the most reduction in turn-off time; modules 2 and 3 having roughly equal reductions in turn-on and turn-off times; and module 4 having the greatest reduction in turn-on time and the least reduction in turn-off time. It is determined that modules 1 and 4 have significantly reduced turn-on times, while modules 2 and 3 have reduced them less. Furthermore, because the current is larger within the reduced time range of modules 1 and 4, the reduced input energy is even less, thus exacerbating the power imbalance between low-frequency modules. Second, the second preset requirement is that the difference between the total voltage of the first switching module and the amplitude of the original modulation wave should not exceed the total voltage of the second switching module. Power equalization is performed based on the condition that the efficiency increase and efficiency decrease values ​​when balancing the power of the first and second switching modules are balanced. A comprehensive consideration of both equalization methods is needed to find the most efficient solution for power equalization.Finally, the aforementioned adjustments to the low-frequency modulation wave resulted in a reduction in the low-frequency input time and power. This increased the gap between the original modulation wave and the corresponding stepped wave of the low-frequency module, meaning the high-frequency module needed to fill more space, resulting in a longer operating time and consequently increasing the input power of the high-frequency module. This achieved the goal of balancing high and low frequency power. It should also be noted that... Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the second sinusoidal modulation wave provided in this application is shown below. Figure 10 As shown, the signal protruding in the middle corresponds to the blank space on modules 1 and 4, and the signals to the left and right of this protruding signal correspond to...
