Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of AC / AC converter energy storage, and specifically relates to a control method for a multiplexed bridge arm energy storage type H-MMC system. Background Technology
[0002] Western and northern my country possess abundant clean energy resources and have established large-scale wind, solar, hydropower, and thermal power generation bases, requiring the efficient supply of these clean energy sources to the power grid. However, the integration of a high proportion of clean energy generation into the grid can lead to power surges. Therefore, installing energy storage devices to reduce active power fluctuations has become an effective means of addressing power surges. Currently, researching how to install energy storage devices to solve the power surge problem has become an important trend.
[0003] Traditional energy storage MMC topologies typically fall into two categories: one connects the energy storage carrier directly in parallel across the submodule capacitor; the other connects the energy storage carrier in parallel across the half-bridge submodule capacitor via a bidirectional DC / DC converter. However, because MMCs have a DC bus and use half-bridge submodules, this topology cannot disconnect the DC signal in the event of a DC fault. In contrast, H-MMC is a direct AC / AC converter that does not have a DC bus and uses full-bridge submodules. Compared to the traditional topology where the bidirectional DC / DC converter is directly connected in parallel across the half-bridge submodule capacitor, H-MMC does not require additional parallel switching devices; it only needs to reuse the bridge arms to achieve bidirectional DC / DC functionality.
[0004] The H-MMC system with multiplexed bridge arms uses full-bridge sub-modules. It does not require additional switching devices. It only needs to connect an energy storage inductor and a supercapacitor in parallel to form a full-bridge energy storage structure with multiplexed bridge arms to realize the energy storage function. However, in order to control the charging and discharging process of the supercapacitor, an additional supercapacitor PI controller is required, which increases the cost. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies described in the background art above, this invention proposes a control method for a reusable bridge arm energy storage type H-MMC system, which has the advantages of real-time compensation for active power grid impacts, improved system inertia, good submodule consistency, and cost savings through reusable converter bridge arm energy storage.
