[0068] Respectively judging whether the control time of rectifier current inner loop (i.e., rectifier controller discrete control time) and inverter current inner loop (i.e., PI controller discrete control time) is greater than 20 sampling periods.

[0069] If the inner loop control is greater than 20 sampling periods, performing PI algorithm processing on rectifier voltage outer loop; otherwise, outputting original rectifier SPWM; if the inner loop control is greater than 20 sampling periods, performing inverter voltage outer loop PI control; otherwise, outputting original inverter SPWM.

[0070] Respectively outputting adjusted rectifier SPWM and adjusted inverter SPWM.

[0074] Figure 8 An exemplary flow chart of the phase-locked loop output grid phase and power factor adjustment variable provided for some embodiments of the present application. In the present application, the grid phase locking is achieved using the principle of a multiplication phase detector, and a safety limiting process is performed. The single-chip microcomputer obtains the input grid voltage signal through AC / DC sampling, compares the phase difference between the input grid voltage signal and the feedback signal using a multiplication phase detector, and then obtains the same output angular frequency as the instantaneous frequency variation law through a low-pass filter. A control signal is generated to adjust the output frequency of the oscillator so that it is synchronized with the input signal. Finally, a cycle limiting process is performed on the output to obtain the phase of the input voltage.

[0075] For example, the phase-locked loop output grid phase and power factor adjustment variable θ P may include:

[0076] The control circuit obtains the input grid voltage signal through AC / DC sampling, compares the phase difference between the input grid voltage signal and the feedback signal using a multiplication phase detector;

[0078] generates a control signal to adjust the output frequency of the oscillator so that it is synchronized with the input signal;

[0079] performs a cycle limiting process on the output to obtain the phase of the input voltage.

[0080] In some embodiments, the expression of the voltage-controlled characteristic of the oscillator is:

[0081] ω u (t) = ω0+ K0u c (t)

[0082] wherein ω u(t) represents the oscillation frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator; ω0represents the oscillation angular frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator when the input control voltage is zero or a direct current; K0represents the control sensitivity; u c (t) represents the input control voltage of the voltage-controlled oscillator. The above expression shows that when u C (t) varies with time, the oscillation frequency ω u (t) also varies with time, the phase-locked loop enters "frequency pulling", automatically tracking the frequency of the input signal, so that the phase-locked loop enters the locked state, and keeps ω0=ω i unchanged, at this time ω0is the output of the phase-locked loop in the system program. For more information about the output grid phase and power factor regulation variables, see Figure 1 and its related description.
