Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of control of three-phase four-wire PFC systems, specifically relating to a current stress control method in single-phase mode of three-phase four-wire PFC. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, the development of on-board chargers (OBCs) is crucial for meeting battery charging requirements. As a key component of the OBC, the demand for power factor correction (PFC) rectifiers with higher rated power and higher power density has become increasingly apparent in recent years. Initially, single-phase PFC rectifiers were developed to meet the charging needs of homes or offices, with power levels typically below 3.7kW. With the increase in electric vehicle battery capacity and the demand for fast charging, the rated power of OBCs has gradually increased to the typical levels of national power grids, namely 6.6kW, 7.4kW, 11kW, and 22kW. When the rated power of the OBC exceeds 7.4kW, three-phase input is required, necessitating a corresponding three-phase PFC. To improve charging feasibility, PFC rectifiers above 7.4kW need to be compatible with both three-phase and single-phase power grids. In higher power applications, three-phase power is often used to charge electric vehicles; however, considering the prevalence of single-phase power in my country, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on electric vehicle compatibility with single-phase 220V power grids.
[0003] To address this issue, academic papers and invention patent analyses have proposed solutions. For example, the paper "Analysis, Design, and Performance Evaluation of SiC Active Soft-Switching Cell for 1-ph / 3-ph Universal Voltage Input PFC for On-Board Charger Applications" by T. Sadilek, L. Huber, Y. Jang, P. Barbosa and I. Husain, published in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, vol.38, no.1, pp.1204-1217, Jan.2023, proposes interleaved parallel totem pole control for split-capacitor three-phase four-wire PFC compatible with single-phase power grids, but does not consider the C-phase current overcurrent problem at higher power levels. Another example is "Modified Deadbeat Predictive Current Control Method for Single-Phase AC–DC PFC". The paper, "An Improved Deadbeat Predictive Current Control Method for Single-Phase AC-DC PFC Converters in Electric Vehicle Charging Systems," by Yuxuan Bi, Chao Wu, Tong Zhao, Houji Li, Junzhong Xu, Guohua Shu, and Yong Wang, published in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, vol.70, no.1, pp.286-297, Jan.2023, proposes an interleaved parallel boost control method for single-phase AC-DC PFC converters compatible with split capacitor three-phase four-wire PFC grids. However, it does not consider the overcurrent problem of phase C when the power level is high.
[0004] In summary, there are relatively few existing control methods for single-phase input in a split capacitor three-phase four-wire PFC system. The proposed control methods do not consider the overcurrent of the C-phase current or how to distribute the C-phase current. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the limitations of the above-mentioned technical solutions, this invention proposes a current stress control method for single-phase mode of three-phase four-wire PFC based on split capacitor type, in order to enable electric vehicles to be compatible with single-phase power grids for charging, making the charging methods of electric vehicles more diversified, and at the same time, it can realize current distribution to avoid overcurrent, thereby enabling the use of lower current-rated power devices and line cables to achieve higher power levels.

[0039] The specific embodiments and working principles of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] In this embodiment, a current stress control method for a three-phase four-wire PFC in single-phase mode is proposed. Considering the widespread use of single-phase electricity in my country, the on-board charger (OBC) with a split capacitor three-phase four-wire PFC at the front end can not only be compatible with a three-phase 380V power grid to charge electric vehicles, but also with a single-phase 220V power grid to charge electric vehicles, while also taking into account the current distribution problem.
[0041] The topology used in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. This topology includes a three-phase full-bridge PFC rectifier, an AC-side inductor L, and an AC-side filter capacitor C. In this embodiment, L = 300uH and C = 10uF.
[0042] This describes a current stress control method for a three-phase four-wire PFC system in single-phase mode, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the procedure is as follows:

[0044] Step 2: Use voltage mode control for the bridge arms of phases A and B to adjust the AC current on the grid side to be in phase with the grid voltage and stabilize the bus voltage to the target value; and use current mode control for the bridge arm of phase C to adjust the magnitude of the phase C current; by setting different current distribution coefficients, the current magnitude of phase C and the N line is distributed to obtain the three-phase control signal.

[0049] Step 2.4: Voltage u of the bus split capacitor C1 u C2 Perform a difference operation, and then perform proportional-integral control operation on the result to obtain the second voltage regulation difference, which is expressed by equation (2):
[0050]
[0051] In equation (2), G VBC It is an average voltage loop PI controller, and in, The adjustment coefficient for the average voltage loop proportional gain P. This is the adjustment coefficient for the average voltage loop integral I; in this embodiment,
[0052] Step 2.5: Multiply the first voltage regulation difference obtained in Step 2.3 by 1 / 2 and then compare it with the phase sinθ of the grid-side voltage obtained in Step 2.2. g Perform a multiplication operation, and add the result to the second voltage adjustment difference obtained in step 2.3 to obtain the AC currents of phases A and B, respectively. Inner ring reference value The obtained inner loop reference values of phase A and phase B currents AC current of phases A and B of AC filter inductor L The difference operation is performed, and the result is then used for proportional resonance control to obtain the control signals for phases A and B.

Multiply by the given current distribution coefficient k to obtain the C-phase AC current. Inner ring reference value The obtained C-phase current inner loop reference value AC current of phase C with AC filter inductor L The difference operation is performed, and the result is then used for proportional resonance control to obtain the C-phase control signal. Using equation (5):
[0057]
[0058] In equation (5), k is a given current distribution coefficient. In this embodiment, the reference values for the inner loop of the AC current in phases A and B are... Since the currents in phases A and B are the same, to balance the currents in phases C and N, we take k = 1 / 2, so that the inner loop reference value of the AC current in phase C is... The current is half of the total current. Let half of the total current (phase A current or phase B current) flow through phase C, and the remaining half of the current will automatically flow through phase N.
