Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of circuits, and more particularly to a three-port DC-AC converter based on interleaved boost and dual active bridge. Background Technology

[0002] The dual active bridge single-stage DC-AC converter is a widely used circuit device in recent years. It achieves bidirectional buck-boost AC-DC conversion through a single-stage structure and enables soft-switching operation of all power switching devices. Furthermore, because it does not contain large-capacity electrolytic capacitors, its power density and lifespan are significantly improved compared to a two-stage structure. Therefore, the dual active bridge single-stage DC-AC converter's advantages, such as bidirectional wide voltage conversion range, high efficiency, long lifespan, and high power density, are well-suited to the specific needs of AC grid-connected energy storage systems and have broad application prospects.

[0003] However, traditional dual-active-bridge single-stage DC-AC converters typically only have one DC input port on the DC side. If multiple DC inputs are required, multiple DC-DC topologies often need to be connected in parallel, resulting in a larger number of components and higher costs. Multi-port converters (MPCs) are an important component of renewable energy-based power systems, enabling multiple DC inputs with fewer components, thus helping to solve the aforementioned problems. However, existing MPCs are generally used for DC-to-DC power conversion. When renewable energy supplies power to the grid or any AC equipment, an additional DC-AC stage is needed. Therefore, existing dual-active-bridge single-stage DC-AC converters often suffer from complex circuit structures due to the need for multiple DC-DC topologies in parallel when dealing with situations with multiple DC inputs, such as photovoltaic power generation.

The two ends of the second capacitor C3 are electrically connected to the seventh connection point 7 and the eighth connection point 8, respectively; the full-bridge inverter circuit 20 includes a fifth terminal, a sixth terminal, a seventh terminal, and an eighth terminal, with the fifth terminal electrically connected to the seventh connection point 7 and the sixth terminal electrically connected to the eighth connection point 8; the filter circuit 30 has its input terminals electrically connected to the seventh terminal and the eighth terminal, respectively; the AC port Port-3 has its input terminal electrically connected to the output terminal of the filter circuit 30; wherein, the switching signals of the two switching transistors included in the first bridge arm, the second bridge arm, the third bridge arm, and the fourth bridge arm are complementary.

[0024] The three-port DC-AC converter proposed in this application consists of three circuit parts, including a front-end boost converter, a full-bridge inverter circuit 20, and a filter circuit 30. The boost converter is a three-port DC-DC boost circuit based on interleaved boost and dual active bridge. The first DC port Port-1 and the second DC port Port-2 of the boost converter are both DC input ports, that is, the boost converter has two DC input terminals. The input voltage can be boosted and the bidirectional flow of energy can be achieved by controlling the switching signals (such as controlling the first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3, the fourth switch S4, the fifth switch S5, the sixth switch S6, the seventh switch S7, and the eighth switch S8 respectively) through the output switching signals of the MCU control signal. The subsequent DC-AC conversion is configured as a full-bridge inverter circuit 20. The AC power output by the full-bridge inverter circuit 20 is filtered by the filter circuit 30 to make the output AC power meet the grid connection requirements. The two connection terminals of the filter circuit 30 are the phase line connection terminal and the neutral line connection terminal, respectively. These two connection terminals combine to form the AC port Port-3. Therefore, the aforementioned three-port DC-AC converter includes three ports: the first DC port Port-1, the second DC port Port-2, and the AC port Port-3. The introduction of the three ports allows the converter structure to achieve two DC inputs with fewer required components. Furthermore, the introduction of the interleaved Boost structure enables DC-to-DC energy transfer compared to traditional topologies, without the need for transformer T isolation. Therefore, this three-port DC-AC converter does not require a three-winding transformer T; only one transformer T is needed to achieve the function of two DC inputs, significantly simplifying the circuit structure. In this circuit, the switching signals of the two switches on one bridge arm are complementary; that is, when one switch is on, the other switch is off.

[0025] In a more specific embodiment, the duty cycle of the switching signal of one of the switching transistors on at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth bridge arms is a preset threshold. Specifically, the duty cycle of the switching signals of the two switching transistors on each of the first, second, third, and fourth bridge arms is a preset threshold of 50%.

[0026] Furthermore, assuming the duty cycles of the switching signals of the two switching transistors on the bridge arm are complementary, the duty cycles of the switching signals of the two switching transistors on the bridge arm can also be set to a preset threshold. Furthermore, to improve the circuit conversion effect, the duty cycles of the switching signals of the two switching transistors on all bridge arms can be set to a preset threshold, where the preset threshold can be set to 50%.

[0027] In a more specific embodiment, a third inductor L3 and a fourth inductor L4 are also included; wherein one end of the third inductor L3 is electrically connected to the first connection point 1, the other end of the third inductor L3 is electrically connected to the fourth inductor L4 to form a ninth connection point 9, one end of the fourth inductor L4 is electrically connected to the second connection point 2, and the ninth connection point 9 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the second DC port Port-2.

[0028] In a more specific embodiment, the input terminals of the first DC port Port-1 and the second DC port Port-2 are electrically connected to the two PV terminals of the photovoltaic panel, respectively, and the output terminal of the AC port Port-3 is connected to the power grid. Specifically, the input terminal of the first DC port Port-1 is electrically connected to a battery, the input terminal of the second DC port Port-2 is electrically connected to the PV terminal of the photovoltaic panel, and the output terminal of the AC port Port-3 is connected to the power grid; or the input terminal of the first DC port Port-1 is electrically connected to the PV terminal of the photovoltaic panel, the input terminal of the second DC port Port-2 is electrically connected to a battery, and the output terminal of the AC port Port-3 is connected to the power grid.

[0029] This three-port DC-AC converter has diverse and flexible applications. It can be used in photovoltaic micro-inverters. The first DC port (Port-1) and the second DC port (Port-2) can be connected to the PV1 terminal (first photovoltaic input terminal) and the PV2 terminal (second photovoltaic input terminal) of the photovoltaic panel, respectively. The AC port (Port-3) serves as the output port, connected to the power grid, allowing PV1 and PV2 to supply energy to the grid together, achieving a structure similar to a one-to-two splitter configuration in a micro-inverter. Alternatively, the first DC port (Port-1) can be connected to a battery, the second DC port (Port-2) to the PV terminal (photovoltaic input terminal) of the photovoltaic panel, and the AC port (Port-3) to the power grid. This allows the photovoltaic panel to generate electricity and transmit it to the grid, and it can also store the energy of the photovoltaic panel in the battery by controlling the operating mode. Furthermore, it can control the photovoltaic panel and the battery to charge the grid together when the output voltage of the photovoltaic panel is too low, offering flexible and diverse operating modes.

[0030] In a more specific embodiment, the full-bridge inverter circuit 20 includes a fifth bridge arm and a sixth bridge arm, which are connected in parallel between the seventh connection point 7 and the eighth connection point 8. The fifth bridge arm includes a ninth switch Q1 and a tenth switch Q2 connected in series, forming a tenth connection point 10, which is electrically connected to the input terminal of the filter circuit 30. The sixth bridge arm includes an eleventh switch S9 and a twelfth switch S10 connected in series, forming an eleventh connection point, which is electrically connected to the input terminal of the filter circuit 30. The switching signals of the two switches in the fifth and sixth bridge arms are complementary, and the duty cycle of at least one switch in the fifth and sixth bridge arms is 50%. Wherein, the first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3, the fourth switch S4, the fifth switch S5, the sixth switch S6, the seventh switch S7, the eighth switch S8, the ninth switch Q1, the tenth switch Q2, the eleventh switch S9, and the twelfth switch S10 are any one of diodes, MOSFETs, and thyristors.

[0031] Specifically, the switching transistors included in the boost converter can all be MOSFETs, and the switching signal is input from the gate of the MOSFET; the switching transistors included in the boost converter can also be diodes with unidirectional conduction function, in which case a control switch that can receive the switching signal is connected in series on one side of the diode, and the conduction and disconnection of the control switch are controlled, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the duty cycle of the diode through the switching signal.

[0032] In a typical embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the boost converter contains MOSFETs as the switching transistors. The first switch S1, the second switch S2, the third switch S3, the fourth switch S4, the fifth switch S5, the sixth switch S6, the seventh switch S7, and the eighth switch S8 are the first MOSFET, the second MOSFET, the third MOSFET, the fourth MOSFET, the fifth MOSFET, the sixth MOSFET, the seventh MOSFET, and the eighth MOSFET, respectively. The drain of the first MOSFET is connected to the drain of the third MOSFET, and the connection point serves as the first connection terminal of the boost converter; one end of the third inductor L3 is connected to one end of the fourth inductor L4, and the connection point serves as the second connection terminal of the boost converter; the source of the second MOSFET is connected to the source of the fourth MOSFET, and the connection point serves as the third connection terminal of the boost converter; the first connection terminal and the third connection terminal combine to form the first DC port Port-1; the second connection terminal and the third connection terminal combine to form the second DC port Port-2; the source of the first MOSFET is connected to the drain of the second MOSFET, the other end of the third inductor L3, and one end of the first inductor L1; the source of the third MOSFET is connected to the drain of the fourth MOSFET, the other end of the fourth inductor L4, and one end of the first winding of the transformer T; the other end of the first inductor L1 is connected to the transformer... The other end of the first winding of transformer T is connected; one end of the second winding of transformer T is connected to one end of the second inductor L2, and the other end of the second inductor L2 is connected to the source of the fifth MOSFET and the drain of the sixth MOSFET; the other end of the second winding of transformer T is connected to the source of the seventh MOSFET and the drain of the eighth MOSFET; the drain of the fifth MOSFET is connected to the drain of the sixth MOSFET, and the connection point serves as the first conversion terminal of the boost converter, connected to the first inverter terminal of the full-bridge inverter circuit 20; the source of the sixth MOSFET is connected to the source of the eighth MOSFET, and the connection point serves as the second conversion terminal of the boost converter, connected to the second inverter terminal of the full-bridge inverter circuit 20; the two inverter connection terminals of the full-bridge inverter circuit 20 are respectively connected to the two filter connection terminals of the filter circuit 30; the two connection terminals of the filter circuit 30 are combined to form AC port Port-3.

[0033] The aforementioned three-port DC-AC converter includes three ports: a first DC port (Port-1), a second DC port (Port-2), and an AC port (Port-3). It can transfer energy from the first DC port (Port-1) to the AC port (Port-3), meaning that the first DC port (Port-1) receives DC power and the AC port (Port-3) outputs AC power; or it can transfer energy from the second DC port (Port-2) to the AC port (Port-3), meaning that the second DC port (Port-2) receives DC power and the AC port (Port-3) outputs AC power; it can also transfer energy from the second DC port (Port-2) to the first DC port (Port-1), meaning that the second DC port (Port-2) receives DC power and the first DC port (Port-1) outputs DC power; furthermore, it can transfer energy from both the first DC port (Port-1) and the second DC port (Port-2) to the AC port (Port-3) simultaneously, meaning that both the first DC port (Port-1) and the second DC port (Port-2) receive DC power simultaneously and the AC port (Port-3) outputs AC power. In other words, the aforementioned three-port DC-AC converter can realize four application functions, thereby greatly expanding the application scenarios of the three-port DC-AC converter and improving the flexibility of circuit use.

[0034] The control method of the above-mentioned three-port DC-AC converter is relatively simple and is basically the same as that of the traditional dual active bridge DC-AC converter. First, the duty cycle of all switching signals is configured to be constant at 50%, ensuring that the switching signals of the two switches on the same bridge arm are complementary (if one switch is on, the other is off). The phase shift angle of the switching signal between the first switch S1 and the fourth switch S4 is defined as D1, the phase shift angle between the first switch S1 and the fifth switch S5 is defined as D2, and the phase shift angle between the fifth switch S5 and the eighth switch S8 is defined as D3. Simultaneously, D1 and D3 are ensured to be consistent. Thus, by controlling the values ​​of D1 (D3) and D2, the three-port DC-AC converter can switch between the above-mentioned operating states. The first operating mode involves energy transfer from the first DC port (Port-1) to the AC port (Port-3), and its equivalent circuit diagram is shown below. Figure 2 As shown; the second operating mode involves energy transfer from the second DC port (Port-2) to the AC port (Port-3), and its equivalent circuit diagram is shown below. Figure 3 As shown; the third operating mode involves energy transfer from the second DC port (Port-2) to the first DC port (Port-1), and its equivalent circuit diagram is shown below. Figure 4 As shown; the fourth operating mode involves energy being simultaneously transferred from the first DC port (Port-1) and the second DC port (Port-2) to the AC port (Port-3), and its equivalent circuit diagram is shown below. Figure 5 As shown.

[0035] In a more specific embodiment, the ninth switch Q1 and the tenth switch Q2 are thyristors. Specifically, the filter circuit 30 includes a fifth inductor L5, a sixth inductor L6, and a third capacitor C2; wherein, one end of the fifth inductor L5 is electrically connected to the tenth connection point 10, the other end of the fifth inductor L5 is electrically connected to the sixth inductor L6 to form the twelfth connection point, one end of the sixth inductor L6 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the AC port Port-3, one end of the third capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the twelfth connection point, and the other end of the third capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the eleventh connection point and the input terminal of the AC port Port-3, respectively.

[0036] The full-bridge inverter circuit 20 consists of the ninth switch Q1, the tenth switch Q2, the eleventh switch S9, and the twelfth switch S10. The ninth switch Q1 and the tenth switch Q2 are thyristors. The use of thyristors to replace the MOSFETs in the existing technology effectively reduces the overall production cost of the circuit while ensuring circuit performance.

[0037] In a more specific embodiment, the filter circuit 30 includes a fifth inductor L5, a sixth inductor L6, and a third capacitor C2; one end of the fifth inductor L5 serves as the first filter connection terminal of the filter circuit 30 and is connected to the first inverter connection terminal of the full-bridge inverter circuit 20; the other end of the fifth inductor L5 is connected to one end of the sixth inductor L6 and one end of the second capacitor C3, and the other end of the second capacitor C3 serves as the second filter connection terminal of the filter circuit 30 and is connected to the second inverter connection terminal of the full-bridge inverter circuit 20; the other end of the sixth inductor L6 serves as the phase line connection terminal of the filter circuit 30, and the second filter connection terminal serves as the neutral line connection terminal of the filter circuit 30.

[0038] Furthermore, to improve the filtering effect of the filter circuit 30, the filter circuit 30 can be configured to consist of a fifth inductor L5, a sixth inductor L6, and a second capacitor C3. With this configuration, noise in the AC power output from the first inverter connection terminal and the second inverter connection terminal can be effectively filtered out, thereby improving the quality of the AC power output through the AC port Port-3.

[0039] The three-port DC-AC converter based on interleaved boost and dual active bridge proposed in this application can achieve multiple DC inputs with fewer components and can simultaneously transfer energy from the DC side to the DC side and from the DC side to the AC side. Furthermore, the use of a dual-winding transformer T can replace the three-winding transformer T in traditional multi-port converters, compressing the overall size of the circuit structure and thus solving the problem of designing a three-winding transformer T in a compact package under high power flow conditions.

[0040] This application discloses a three-port DC-AC converter based on interleaved Boost and dual active bridges. The circuit includes a transformer, a first bridge arm, a second bridge arm, a first inductor, a first capacitor, a first DC port, a second DC port, a third bridge arm, a fourth bridge arm, a second inductor, a second capacitor, a full-bridge inverter circuit, a filter circuit, and an AC port. The switching signals of the two transistors included in the first, second, third, and fourth bridge arms are complementary. This three-port DC-AC converter allows for DC input via either the first or second DC port, achieving two DC inputs with fewer circuit components, significantly simplifying the circuit structure for the same application function.
