Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of power electronics, and more particularly relates to a hybrid rectifier and a control method BACKGROUND

[0002] Three-level converters have the advantages of less output harmonics, small switching voltage stress and high output waveform quality compared with traditional two-level converters, and are widely used in active power filtering and high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission.

[0003] Compared with the traditional diode clamped three-level converter, the VIENNA rectifier has fewer power switching devices and does not need to consider the dead zone of the upper and lower switching tubes, and has better economy and safety. Therefore, it is widely used in industries such as UPS and charging piles that do not require bidirectional energy flow. The significant feature of the VIENNA circuit is that each phase bridge arm is composed of two switching tubes and two diodes, and the DC side is divided by two capacitors, and the point between them is usually called the neutral point. By controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the switching tubes, each phase can output positive, negative and zero levels relative to the center point.

[0004] Because the number of phases is odd, there will be a common-mode voltage under conventional modulation. The common-mode voltage will generate a leakage current through the stray loop to the ground, which may damage the devices in the system over a long period of time, thereby reducing the safety of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to use zero common-mode voltage vectors to actively suppress the common-mode voltage at the source. In an ideal case, the voltages of the two divided capacitors are exactly equal, and the neutral point voltage is half of the DC side voltage. However, due to the particularity of the zero common-mode voltage vector, the charging and discharging of the two capacitors in the DC side capacitor branch will be unbalanced, thereby making the neutral point voltage fluctuate greatly. This imbalance of the neutral point voltage will make the output voltage quality of the rectifier and the common-mode voltage suppression effect worse, and will introduce additional harmonics to the load side, thereby reducing the system efficiency. In addition, the voltage fluctuation of the DC side divided capacitor will shorten the service life of the capacitor. Therefore, the balance of the neutral point voltage is crucial for maintaining good output waveform and ensuring the normal operation of the rectifier. However, the common method for suppressing the imbalance of the neutral point voltage cannot achieve suppression of the common-mode voltage. SUMMARY

[0061] The frequencies of the four switching devices are the same as those of the switching devices in the VIENNA rectifier.

[0062] The VIENNA rectifier realizes zero common-mode voltage modulation, and first needs to ensure normal operation of the VIENNA rectifier, because the VIENNA rectifier needs to use double-loop control; the double-loop control includes: one voltage outer loop control based on a direct current side output voltage; and one current inner loop control based on an alternating current side input current.

[0096] In order to realize zero common-mode voltage modulation, the working state of the VIENNA rectifier is analyzed, and the output voltage of each phase of the VIENNA rectifier is determined by the switching tube. Taking the a phase as an example, when the two switching tubes of the a phase are turned on, the AC output of the a phase is clamped to the midpoint of the flying capacitor type auxiliary switching bridge arm, and the output voltage of the a phase is zero, which is defined as O. When the two switching tubes of the a phase of the VIENNA rectifier are turned off, when the current flows from the AC side, the output voltage of the a phase is V dc / 2, which is defined as P; when the current flows from the AC side, the output voltage of the a phase is-V dc / 2, which is defined as N; zero common-mode vector, by controlling each power switching tube of the VIENNA rectifier, the three-phase output voltage is: ±V dc / 2, 0, so that the common-mode voltage is zero.

[0097] There are two methods for realizing zero common-mode voltage modulation of the technical scheme of the application, the first method is based on carrier comparison modulation, and the other method is based on space vector modulation.

[0098] (1) The method for realizing zero common-mode voltage modulation based on carrier comparison is as follows:

Because Therefore, the zero common-mode voltage modulation can realize the common-mode voltage of the VIENNA rectifier to be zero;

[0100]

[0107] The a-phase voltage of the three-phase stationary coordinate system is taken as a phase reference point, when the angle θ of the rotating vector is in [-30°, 30°], the rotating vector is in the first sector; when the angle θ of the rotating vector is in [30°, 90°], the rotating vector is in the second sector; when the angle θ of the rotating vector is in [90°, 150°], the rotating vector is in the third sector; when the angle θ of the rotating vector is in [150°, 210°], the rotating vector is in the fourth sector; when the angle θ of the rotating vector is in [210°, 270°], the rotating vector is in the fifth sector; and when the angle θ of the rotating vector is in [270°, 330°], the rotating vector is in the sixth sector.

[0108] The zero common-mode voltage vectors, the zero common-mode voltage vectors V1 and V2 in the first sector are [PON] and [PNO] respectively; the zero common-mode voltage vectors V1 and V2 in the second sector are [OPN] and [PON] respectively; the zero common-mode voltage vectors V1 and V2 in the third sector are [NPO] and [OPN] respectively; the zero common-mode voltage vectors V1 and V2 in the fourth sector are [NOP] and [NPO] respectively; the zero common-mode voltage vectors V1 and V2 in the fifth sector are [ONP] and [NOP] respectively; and the zero common-mode voltage vectors V1 and V2 in the sixth sector are [PNO] and [ONP] respectively.

[0115]

[0116] The calculation formula of the action time t0 of the zero vector V0 is:

[0117] t0 = T s-t1-t2

[0118] When the vector acts, when the phase is O, it is equivalent to the phase output of the VIENNA rectifier zero voltage, that is, the switch tube is turned on; when the phase is P or N, it is equivalent to the phase output of the VIENNA rectifier ±V dc / 2, that is, the switch tube is turned off.

[0119] In this embodiment, only zero common-mode voltage vectors are used for modulation, so that the common-mode voltage of the VIENNA rectifier is zero. Since the calculation amount of the space vector modulation is large, in actual work, the carrier modulation is used preferentially for simplicity.
