[0002] With the rapid development of power electronics technology and the gradual consensus on global energy crisis awareness, photovoltaic and energy storage conversion technologies are developing rapidly in parallel to meet the needs of household energy storage devices. At the same time, increasingly higher requirements are placed on the working efficiency, power density, and reliability of household energy storage devices.

[0003] Currently, household energy storage devices in off-grid scenarios generally use a three-stage converter structure to achieve coordinated control of the battery energy storage unit, photovoltaic conversion unit, and inverter unit. However, this structure suffers from low efficiency, low power density, and high cost. While a two-stage converter structure significantly improves converter efficiency and power density and reduces costs, it also leads to weak load adaptability in off-grid scenarios, severely limiting the energy storage device's ability to replace the grid.

[0004] Therefore, existing household energy storage devices have technical problems in achieving compatibility between working efficiency, power density, cost and off-grid load adaptability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present invention provide a control method for an energy storage conversion device, an energy storage conversion device, and an energy storage device, so as to realize that the energy storage conversion device has high power density and working efficiency, low cost, and at the same time has extremely strong off-grid load adaptability and high reliability.

[0008] In an off-grid or grid-connected state, when the energy storage device needs to be charged, the first converter operates in a constant voltage, constant current, or constant power mode to charge the energy storage device, the second converter is in an inoperative state, and the inverter operates in a rectification mode to achieve stable control of the bus voltage;

[0015] Furthermore, the LLC operating frequency of the first converter is set to be higher than the LLC resonant frequency point of the first converter.

[0016] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application further provides an energy storage conversion device, which includes: a first converter, a second converter, an inverter, a first switch (Sw1), an inductor (Lm1) and a second switch (Sw2);

[0017] One end of the first converter is connected to the energy storage battery, and the other end of the first converter is connected to the second converter; the second switch is connected in parallel to both ends of the second converter; and the inverter is connected to the second converter;

It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0060] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] An embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for an energy storage conversion device. The energy storage conversion device is used in an energy storage device. The energy storage conversion device includes: a first converter 10 , a second converter 20 , and an inverter 30 .

[0062] The first converter 10 is a bidirectional LLC resonant converter, and the second converter 20 is a bidirectional Buck-Boost converter or a bidirectional Half-Bridge converter.

[0063] In an off-grid or grid-connected state, when the energy storage device needs to be charged, the first converter 10 operates in a constant voltage, constant current, or constant power mode to charge the energy storage device, the second converter 20 is in an off-grid state, and the inverter 30 operates in a rectification mode to achieve stable control of the bus voltage.

[0064] In the grid-connected state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge, the first converter 10 operates in a constant voltage mode to achieve smooth control of the bus voltage and suppress the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side. The second converter 20 is in a non-working state, and the inverter 30 operates in an inverter mode to achieve smooth control of the AC output voltage.

[0065] In the off-grid state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge and the load is in a power stable state, the first converter 10 operates in a constant voltage mode to achieve smooth control of the bus voltage and suppress the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side. The second converter 20 is in a non-working state, and the inverter 30 operates in an inverter mode to achieve smooth control of the AC output voltage.

[0066] In the off-grid state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge and the load suddenly changes from a power stable state to a short-term severe overload state, the first converter 10 switches from the variable frequency closed-loop operating mode to the fixed frequency open-loop control mode, the second converter 20 realizes stable control of the bus voltage and suppresses the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side, and the inverter 30 operates in the inverter mode to realize stable control of the AC output voltage.

[0067] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the energy storage conversion device in a two-stage conversion structure when the second converter 20 is in an inoperative state.

[0068] When the energy storage device needs to be charged in an off-grid or grid-connected state, or when the energy storage device needs to be discharged in a grid-connected state, or when the energy storage device needs to be discharged in an off-grid state and the load is in a power stable state, the second converter 20 is in an inoperative state, and the energy storage conversion device is in a secondary conversion structure.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the energy storage conversion device in a three-stage conversion structure when the second converter 20 is switched into operation.

[0070] In the off-grid state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge and the load suddenly changes from a power stable state to a short-term severe overload state, the second converter 20 enters the working state to achieve stable control of the bus voltage and suppress the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side. The energy storage conversion device is in a three-level conversion structure.

[0071] By operating the energy storage conversion device in a two-stage topology of a first converter and an inverter in a grid-connected mode or an off-grid mode with a stable load, and the second converter not operating, the energy storage conversion device only has losses in the first converter and the inverter, and the overall working efficiency is high. In the event of a short-term severe overload in the off-grid mode, the second converter is switched on to form a three-stage structure, and at the same time, the first converter is switched from closed-loop frequency conversion control to fixed-frequency open-loop control. At this time, the reliable operation of the energy storage conversion device can be effectively guaranteed, and it has extremely strong off-grid load adaptability. Since the second converter is only switched on for a relatively short time, the selection of the second converter power device and the design of the magnetic core device can be greatly simplified, which has the advantages of effectively improving the power density of the energy storage conversion device and reducing costs, so that the energy storage conversion device has high power density and working efficiency, low cost, and extremely strong off-grid load adaptability and high reliability.

[0072] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the first switch Sw1 and the inductor Lm1 are connected in series and then in parallel between the midpoints of the two arms of the full bridge of the first converter 10; when the first switch Sw1 is closed, the first converter 10 operates in a constant voltage mode to achieve stable control of the bus voltage and suppress the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side; when the first switch Sw1 is disconnected, the first converter 10 operates in a constant voltage, constant current or constant power mode to charge the energy storage device.

[0073] By controlling the first switch, the switching of the bidirectional charging and discharging modes of the first converter is achieved, ensuring that the energy storage conversion device operates in a two-stage topology structure of the first converter and the inverter by switching the first switch and the second switch in a grid-connected mode or an off-grid mode with stable load, thereby improving the working efficiency of the energy storage conversion device.

[0074] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the second switch Sw2 is connected in parallel at both ends of the second converter 20; when the second switch Sw2 is closed, the second converter 20 is in a non-working state; when the second switch Sw2 is disconnected, the second converter 20 achieves stable control of the bus voltage and suppresses the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side.

[0075] By controlling the second switch, the second converter is controlled to switch into the state of the energy storage conversion device, ensuring that the energy storage conversion device operates in a two-stage topology structure of the first converter and the inverter by switching the first switch and the second switch in a grid-connected mode or an off-grid mode with stable load, thereby improving the working efficiency of the energy storage conversion device.

[0076] Specifically, the first switch Sw1 and the second switch Sw2 implement state switching between different operating modes of the energy storage conversion device. The first switch Sw1 and the second switch Sw2 can be formed by mechanical switches or electronic switches. Mechanical switches include but are not limited to relays, and electronic switches include but are not limited to thyristors, IGBTs, and MOSFETs.

[0077] The output of the inverter 30 includes but is not limited to a L1 / L2 / N three-wire system and a L / N two-wire system. The schematic diagram of the embodiment of the present application takes the L1 / L2 / N three-wire system as an example for explanation.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, in the off-grid or grid-connected state, when the energy storage device needs to be charged, the second switch Sw2 is closed, the first switch Sw1 is disconnected, and the first converter 10 operates in a constant voltage, constant current, or constant power mode to charge the energy storage device to achieve energy storage. The second converter 20 is in an inoperative state, and the inverter 30 operates in a rectification mode to achieve stable control of the bus voltage.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in the grid-connected state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge, the second switch Sw2 is closed, the first switch Sw1 is closed, the first converter 10 operates in the constant voltage mode to achieve stable control of the bus voltage and suppress the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side, the second converter 20 is in the non-operating state, and the inverter 30 operates in the inverter mode to achieve stable control of the AC output voltage.

[0080] like Figure 6 As shown, in the off-grid state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge and the load is in a power stable state, the first switch Sw1 is closed or the second switch Sw2 is closed, the first converter 10 operates in a constant voltage mode to achieve stable control of the bus voltage and suppress the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side, the second converter 20 is in a non-operating state, and the inverter 30 operates in an inverter mode to achieve stable control of the AC output voltage.

[0081] like Figure 7As shown, in the off-grid state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge and the load suddenly changes from a power stable state to a short-term severe overload state, such as a sudden addition of an ultra-high power compressor / resistive load on the output side, the first switch Sw1 or the second switch Sw2 is switched from a closed state to an open state, and the first converter 10 is switched from a variable frequency closed-loop operating mode to a fixed frequency open-loop control mode. The LLC operating frequency of the first converter 10 is higher than the LLC resonant frequency point of the first converter 10. The second converter 20 achieves stable control of the bus voltage and suppresses twice the power frequency ripple current on the battery side. The inverter 30 operates in the inverter mode to achieve stable control of the AC output voltage.

[0082] The first converter 10 switches from a variable-frequency closed-loop operating mode to a fixed-frequency open-loop control mode, effectively preventing the first converter 10 from entering the capacitive range, which could cause the inverter 30 bus voltage to lose control. This also prevents abnormal failure of power switches Q1 through Q8 due to entering the capacitive range. When the output load of the energy storage conversion device switches to within the rated load power, the energy storage conversion device switches to an off-grid state, requiring the energy storage device to discharge and the load to operate in a stable power state.

[0083] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, in the off-grid state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge and the load suddenly changes from a power stable state to a short-term severe overload state, the second switch Sw2 is in a closed state, and the second converter 20 short-circuits the second switch Sw2 through a normally closed power device, so that the second converter 20 can achieve stable control of the bus voltage and suppress the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side.

[0084] In an off-grid discharge scenario, if the second switch Sw2 is a mechanical switch, when the energy storage conversion device switches between different modes due to a short-term severe overload of the output load, there is a problem of deterioration in the output voltage waveform due to an internal factor confirming the on / off state of the mechanical switch, resulting in an increased mode switching delay. To optimize the problem of deterioration in the output voltage waveform within a short period of time, the second switch Sw2 is closed and the first switch Sw1 is opened. The second converter 20 short-circuits the second switch Sw2 via a normally closed power device, so that the second converter 20 operates in constant voltage mode to achieve stable control of the bus voltage and suppress the double power frequency ripple current on the battery side. The inverter 30 operates in inverter mode to achieve stable control of the AC output voltage.

[0085] In this operating mode, when the output of the energy storage conversion device is severely overloaded for a short time, the state transition is quickly completed through the action of the internal switching device of the second converter 20, which can reduce the state switching time of the second switch Sw2. However, this operating mode will cause additional losses due to the conduction loss of the normally closed power device inside the second converter 20.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present invention, in a grid-connected mode or an off-grid mode with a stable load, the energy storage conversion device operates in a two-stage topology structure of a first converter and an inverter, and the second converter does not operate. At this time, the energy storage conversion device only has losses in the first converter and the inverter, and the overall working efficiency is high. In the case of a short-term severe overload in the off-grid mode, the second converter is switched to work to form a three-stage structure. At the same time, the first converter is switched from closed-loop frequency conversion control to fixed-frequency open-loop control. At this time, the reliable operation of the energy storage conversion device can be effectively guaranteed, and it has extremely strong off-grid load adaptability. Since the second converter only works for a short time, the selection of the power device of the second converter and the design of the magnetic core device can be greatly simplified, which has the advantages of effectively improving the power density of the energy storage conversion device and reducing costs, so that the energy storage conversion device has high power density and working efficiency, low cost, and extremely strong off-grid load adaptability and high reliability.

[0087] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present invention further provides an energy storage conversion device, such as Figure 9 As shown, the energy storage conversion device includes: a first converter 10, a second converter 20, an inverter 30, a first switch Sw1, an inductor Lm1 and a second switch Sw2.

[0088] One end of the first converter 10 is connected to the energy storage battery, and the other end of the first converter 10 is connected to the second converter 20 ; the second switch Sw2 is connected in parallel at both ends of the second converter 20 ; and the inverter 30 is connected to the second converter 20 .

[0089] The first switch Sw1 and the inductor Lm1 are connected in series and then in parallel between the midpoints of the two bridge arms of the full bridge of the first converter 10 .

[0090] The energy storage conversion device is configured to execute the above-mentioned control method for the energy storage conversion device.

[0091] By switching the first switch and the second switch, the energy storage conversion device operates in a two-stage topology of a first converter and an inverter. In the event of a short-term severe overload in the off-grid mode, the second converter switches into operation to form a three-stage structure, thereby improving the working efficiency of the energy storage conversion device, effectively ensuring the reliable operation of the energy storage conversion device, and having extremely strong off-grid load adaptability.

[0092] Furthermore, if Figure 10 As shown, the first converter 10 includes: a first switching device Q1, a second switching device Q2, a third switching device Q3, a fourth switching device Q4, a fifth switching device Q5, a sixth switching device Q6, a seventh switching device Q7, an eighth switching device Q8, a transformer T1, a first inductor Lr and a first capacitor Cr.

[0093] The first switching device Q1 , the second switching device Q2 , the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4 constitute two arms of the left full bridge of the first converter 10 .

[0094] The fifth switching device Q5 , the sixth switching device Q6 , the seventh switching device Q7 and the eighth switching device Q8 constitute two arms of the right full bridge of the first converter 10 .

[0095] The transformer T1 , the first inductor Lr, the first capacitor Cr, the first switch Sw1 , and the inductor Lm1 constitute the resonant cavity parameters of the first converter 10 .

[0096] The first converter can operate in constant voltage, constant current or constant power mode to charge the energy storage device. When the energy storage device needs to discharge, the first converter operates in constant voltage mode to achieve stable control of the bus voltage and suppress the twice-power frequency ripple current on the battery side. In the off-grid state, when the energy storage device needs to discharge and the load suddenly changes from a power stable state to a short-term severe overload state, the first converter switches from a variable frequency closed-loop operating mode to a fixed frequency open-loop control mode, which can effectively ensure the reliable operation of the energy storage conversion device.

[0097] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the second converter 20 is composed of a two-switch Buck-Boost converter, including a ninth switching device Q9, a tenth switching device Q10, a second capacitor C2 and a second inductor L4.

[0098] The ninth switching device Q9 and the tenth switching device Q10 constitute a bridge arm of the second converter 20 , and are connected to the first converter 10 in parallel with the second capacitor C2 .

[0099] The second inductor L4 connects the midpoint of the bridge arm of the second converter 20 and the inverter 30 .
