Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power transformation, and in particular to a voltage conversion circuit control method, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] Existing photovoltaic grid-connected inverters typically boost the DC output from photovoltaic modules into high-voltage DC, then chop it into a 50Hz sine wave via an H-bridge, and finally transmit it to the grid through an inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) filter circuit. The high-voltage side inverter H-bridge has the risk of shoot-through and short circuit of the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) in the same bridge arm. When there are four MOSFETs in the H-bridge hard switching, it will cause high-frequency switching losses and high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Summary of the Invention

[0125] The switching of the four MOSFETs in an inverter H-bridge generates high-frequency switching losses and high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Especially during the low-voltage and low-current phases of each AC sinusoidal cycle, the input voltage is first boosted to a high voltage and then converted back to a low voltage, resulting in significant energy waste.
[0126] An inverter H-bridge consists of two arms, left and right. Each arm is composed of upper and lower MOSFETs. The lower MOSFET controls the negative terminal of the high voltage, and the upper MOSFET controls the positive terminal. This means that the upper and lower MOSFETs are not at the same potential. Especially when driving the upper MOSFET, a voltage pump is needed to boost the driving voltage to exceed the DC bus voltage, which increases the driving cost. In addition, the upper and lower MOSFETs are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the DC high voltage respectively, which poses a risk of shoot-through short circuit. Furthermore, the high-voltage side H-bridge controls at least one pair of MOSFETs on the left and right sides to operate simultaneously, making the control complex.

[0131] The first isolating switch module 140 is used to, based on the control of the control module 120, conduct the first connection between the first isolating transformer module 130 and the first filter module 150 in the first half-cycle, and disconnect the first connection in the second half-cycle.
[0132] The first filtering module 150 is used to input a first voltage signal through the first connection during the first half-cycle, filter the first voltage signal to obtain a first AC voltage signal, and output the first AC voltage signal to the AC power grid.
[0133] The second isolation transformer module 160 is used to output a second voltage signal in the second half-cycle based on the second control signal of the control module 120 and the input DC voltage signal.
[0134] The second isolating switch module 170 is used to, based on the control of the control module 120, conduct the second connection between the second isolating transformer module 160 and the second filter module 180 in the second half-cycle, and to disconnect the second connection in the first half-cycle.
[0135] The second filtering module 180 is used to input a second voltage signal through the second connection during the second half-cycle, filter the second voltage signal to obtain a second AC voltage signal, and output the second AC voltage signal to the AC power grid.
[0136] Here, the voltage conversion circuit 100 can be used for grid-connected photovoltaic power generation. The voltage conversion circuit 100 can convert the DC voltage signal generated by photovoltaic power generation into the AC voltage signal of the AC power grid. Here, the AC power can be industrial frequency AC power, which can include 220V / 50Hz AC power, but is not limited to this.
[0137] In one possible implementation, the first half-cycle can be the positive half-cycle of the alternating current, and the second half-cycle can be the negative half-cycle of the alternating current.
[0138] In one possible implementation, the first half-cycle can be the negative half-cycle of the alternating current (AC), and the second half-cycle can be the positive half-cycle of the AC. The detection module 110 can be used to detect the zero-crossing point of the AC. For example, the detection module 110 may include a rectifier diode and a current-limiting resistor connected in series with the rectifier diode, and the zero-crossing point of the AC is determined by the current flowing through the current-limiting resistor. The detection module 110 determines whether the AC is in the positive or negative half-cycle by half-wave rectification of the AC, i.e., determines the first half-cycle and / or the second half-cycle.
[0139] In one possible implementation, the detection module 110 detects the first half-cycle and the second half-cycle by including at least one of the following:
[0140] The detection module 110 detects the start and end positions of the first half-cycle;
[0141] The detection module 110 detects the start and end positions of the second half-cycle.
[0142] In one possible implementation, the control module 120 can determine the second half-cycle based on the determined first half-cycle. For example, the end position and start position of the second half-cycle can be determined based on the start and end positions of the first half-cycle, respectively.
[0143] In one possible implementation, the control module 120 can determine the first half-cycle based on the determined second half-cycle. For example, the end position and start position of the first half-cycle can be determined based on the start and end positions of the second half-cycle, respectively.
[0144] In one possible implementation, different circuit parameters can be indicated by different electrical signals. For example, the control module 120 can indicate the start position of the first half-cycle by a rising edge, the end position of the first half-cycle by a falling edge, and the start position of the second half-cycle, and so on.
[0145] In one possible implementation, the detection module 110 is connected to the control module 120, and the detection module 110 sends circuit parameters to the control module 120 through the connection with the control module 120.
[0146] The control module 120 can enable at least one of the first isolation transformer module 130, the first disconnect switch module 140, the second isolation transformer module 160, and the second disconnect switch module 170 based on a first half-cycle and / or a second half-cycle. For example, the control module 120 can send a first control signal to enable the first isolation transformer module 130 and control the first disconnect switch module 140 to output a first voltage signal in the first half-cycle, and send a second control signal to enable the second isolation transformer module 160 and control the second disconnect switch module 170 to output a second voltage signal in the second half-cycle.
[0147] In one possible implementation, the first voltage signal can be a DC voltage signal, and the second voltage signal can be a DC voltage signal.
[0148] In one possible implementation, the first AC voltage signal can be a voltage signal within an AC half-cycle, the first AC voltage signal can be a DC voltage signal, and the second voltage signal can be a DC voltage signal.
[0149] In one possible implementation, the first control signal can be an enable signal used to switch the output of the first isolation transformer module 130.
[0150] In one possible implementation, the first control signal may be used to adjust the output voltage value of the first isolation transformer module 130. In another possible implementation, the second control signal may be an enable signal used to switch the output of the second isolation transformer module 160 on or off.
[0151] In one possible implementation, the second control signal can be used to adjust the output voltage value of the second isolation transformer module 160.
[0152] In one possible implementation, the control module 120 may include a controller and peripheral circuitry. The control module 120 can provide control logic signals, and the peripheral circuitry can provide level adaptation. For example, the control module 120 can provide control logic signals for a switching transistor, and the peripheral circuitry can perform level conversion (such as boost conversion) on the logic signals to control the switching transistor.
[0153] The isolation transformer modules (first isolation transformer module 130 and second isolation transformer module 160) can isolate the DC voltage signal and the voltage signal (first voltage signal and second voltage signal) through isolation circuits, such as transformers. The isolation transformer modules can regulate the voltage through transformers, for example, by boosting or bucking the DC voltage signal to obtain the voltage signal (first voltage signal and second voltage signal).
[0154] In one possible implementation, the isolation transformer module may include a chopper circuit to chop the DC voltage signal, and then pass it through a transformer for isolation and rectification to obtain a voltage signal (a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal).
[0155] The voltage value of the first voltage signal can meet the requirements of the first AC voltage signal in the first half-cycle of AC power, and the voltage value of the second voltage signal can meet the requirements of the second AC voltage signal in the second half-cycle of AC power. For example, the DC voltage signal can be chopped using an SPWM signal to obtain the first voltage signal or the second voltage signal. The first voltage signal or the second voltage signal is then filtered by the first filter module 150 and the second filter module 180, respectively, to obtain the first AC voltage signal and the second AC voltage signal that meet the requirements of AC power.
[0156] In one possible implementation, the voltage polarities of the first AC voltage signal and the second AC voltage signal are opposite.
[0157] The first isolation transformer module 130 and the second isolation transformer module 160 are each responsible for half a cycle of AC voltage output. Compared to an isolation transformer module that is responsible for the entire cycle of AC voltage output, the output voltage difference between the first isolation transformer module 130 and the second isolation transformer module 160 is smaller, which reduces the risk of voltage breakdown caused by a large output voltage difference.
[0158] The first isolating switch module 140 can be used to switch the first AC voltage input to the first filter module 150; the second isolating switch module 170 can be used to switch the second AC voltage input to the second filter module 180. In the first half-cycle, the first isolating switch module 140 conducts the first connection, allowing the first voltage signal to be input to the first filter module 150 for filtering to obtain a first AC voltage signal input to the AC power grid; simultaneously, the second isolating switch module 170 disconnects the second connection, reducing the possibility of AC power grid signals flowing back into the second isolation transformer module 160, thus reducing the risk of the second isolation transformer module 160 being damaged by AC power grid signals. In the second half-cycle, the second isolating switch module 170 conducts the second connection, allowing the second voltage signal to be input to the second filter module 180 for filtering to obtain a second AC voltage signal input to the AC power grid; simultaneously, the first isolating switch module 140 disconnects the first connection, reducing the possibility of AC power grid signals flowing back into the first isolation transformer module 130, thus reducing the risk of the first isolation transformer module 130 being damaged by AC power grid signals.
[0159] Thus, the first isolation transformer module 130 and the second isolation transformer module 160 are used to output the voltage for half a cycle of AC power, respectively, and the first isolation switch module 140 and the second isolation switch module 170 are used to switch the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal, respectively. The voltage conversion circuit 100 provided in this embodiment is controlled by the control module 120 and the detection module 110 to detect the first half cycle and the second half cycle of AC power. The first isolation transformer module 130 outputs the first voltage signal in the first half cycle based on the first control signal of the control module 120; the first isolation switch module 140, based on the control of the control module 120, conducts the first connection between the first isolation transformer module 130 and the first filter module 150 in the first half cycle and disconnects the first connection in the second half cycle; the second isolation transformer module 160 outputs the second voltage signal in the second half cycle based on the second control signal of the control module 120; the second isolation switch module 170, based on the control of the control module 120, conducts the second connection between the second isolation transformer module 160 and the second filter module 180 in the second half cycle; the filter module is used to filter the voltage signal to obtain the AC voltage signal. On the one hand, the voltage conversion circuit 100 can synchronize voltage conversion with the AC grid based on the monitoring of the AC power cycle by the detection module 110, thus meeting the requirements of grid-connected power generation. On the other hand, the first isolation transformer module 130 and the second isolation transformer module 160 only need to transform half of the AC voltage amplitude, which can improve transformation efficiency and reduce energy waste. Furthermore, the isolation transformer module isolates the AC grid when it is not outputting, reducing the probability of damage to the isolation transformer module from AC backflow and improving circuit safety.
[0160] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first isolation transformer module 130 includes: a first full-bridge circuit 131, a first transformer 132, and a first full-wave rectifier circuit 133;
[0161] The first full-bridge circuit 131 is used to convert the DC voltage signal into a first square wave voltage signal in the first half-cycle based on the first sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal of the control module 120, and input the first square wave voltage signal to the first primary winding of the first transformer 132. The first control signal includes the first sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal.
[0162] The first full-wave rectifier circuit 133 is used to perform full-wave rectification on the first induced voltage signal output by the first secondary winding of the first transformer 132 inducing the first square wave voltage, so as to obtain the first voltage signal.
[0163] like Figure 3As shown, the second isolation transformer module 160 includes: a second full-bridge circuit 161, a second transformer 162, and a second full-wave rectifier circuit 163;
[0164] The second full-bridge circuit 161 is used to convert the DC voltage signal into a second square wave voltage signal in the second half-cycle based on the second sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal of the control module 120, and input the second square wave voltage signal to the second primary winding of the second transformer 162; the first control signal includes the second sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal;
[0165] The second full-wave rectifier circuit 163 is used to perform full-wave rectification on the second induced voltage signal output by the second secondary winding of the second transformer 162, which is induced by the second square wave voltage, to obtain the second voltage signal.
[0166] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first full-bridge circuit 131 may include an H-bridge composed of four switching transistors Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. Q1 and Q4 form one current path, and Q3 and Q2 form another. The first transformer 132 may include a transformer T1. The first full-wave rectifier circuit 133 includes four rectifier diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4, where D1 and D3 form one current path, and D2 and D4 form another.
[0167] In the first half-cycle, control module 120 controls Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 to input a first square wave voltage signal to the first primary winding of the first transformer 132 via a first sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal. This first square wave voltage signal can generate a current in one or two directions in the first primary winding of the first transformer 132, thereby inducing a first induced voltage signal in the first secondary winding of the first transformer 132. The induced current in the first secondary winding of the first transformer 132 can be in one direction or in two directions. The first sinusoidal pulse width modulation signals applied by control module 120 to Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are different.
[0168] The first full-wave rectifier circuit 133 rectifies the induced current in the first secondary winding of the first transformer 132. For example... Figure 4 As shown, a positive first voltage signal is generated at the N terminal of D1 and D4.
[0169] In the first half-cycle, the first disconnecting switch module 140 conducts the first connection, and the first filtering module 150 filters the first voltage signal to obtain the first AC voltage signal.
[0170] The second full-bridge circuit 161 may include an H-bridge composed of four switching transistors Q5, Q6, Q7, and Q8. Q5 and Q8 form one current path, and Q7 and Q6 form another. The second transformer 162 may include transformer T2. The second full-wave rectifier circuit 163 includes four rectifier diodes D5, D6, D7, and D8, where D5 and D7 form one current path, and D6 and D8 form another.
[0171] In the second half-cycle, control module 120 controls Q5, Q6, Q7, and Q8 to input a second square wave voltage signal into the first primary winding of the second transformer 162 via a second sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal. This second square wave voltage signal can generate a current in one or two directions in the first primary winding of the second transformer 162, thereby inducing a second induced voltage signal in the first secondary winding of the second transformer 162. The induced current in the first secondary winding of the second transformer 162 can be in one direction or in two directions. The first sinusoidal pulse width modulation signals applied by control module 120 to Q5, Q6, Q7, and Q8 are different.
[0172] The second full-wave rectifier circuit 163 rectifies the induced current in the first secondary winding of the second transformer 162. For example... Figure 4 As shown, a positive second voltage signal is generated at the N terminal of D5 and D7.
[0173] In the second half-cycle, the second disconnecting switch module 170 connects the second connection, and the second filtering module 180 filters the two voltage signals to obtain the second AC voltage signal.
[0174] In one possible implementation, the first transformer 132 and the second transformer 162 can be used for either step-up or step-down.
[0175] In one possible implementation, during the first half-cycle, the control module 120 can shut down the second full-bridge circuit 161Q5, Q6, Q7 and Q8, so that no induced electromotive force is generated on the second transformer 162, that is, during the first half-cycle, the second isolation transformer module 160 does not generate the second voltage signal.
[0176] In one possible implementation, during the second half-cycle, the control module 120 can shut down the first full-bridge circuit 131Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4, so that no induced electromotive force is generated on the first transformer 132, that is, during the first half-cycle, the first isolation transformer module 130 does not generate the first voltage signal.
[0177] In this way, by generating a square wave voltage signal through a full-bridge circuit and rectifying it through a full-bridge circuit, the conversion efficiency of converting the DC voltage signal into a voltage signal (the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal) can be improved, reducing energy waste.
[0178] In some embodiments, the first transformer 132 and the second transformer 162 are the same transformer, the first primary winding and the second primary winding are the same primary winding, and the first full-bridge circuit 131 and the second full-bridge circuit 161 are the same full-bridge circuit; the first transformer 132 includes a first secondary winding and a second secondary winding.
[0179] The first full-bridge circuit 131 is configured to convert the DC voltage signal into a first square wave voltage signal in the first half-cycle based on the first sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, and input the first square wave voltage signal into the first primary winding; and to convert the DC voltage signal into a second square wave voltage signal in the second half-cycle based on the second sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, and input the second square wave voltage signal into the first primary winding.
[0180] The first full-wave rectifier circuit 133 is used to perform full-wave rectification on the first induced voltage signal output by the first secondary winding induced by the first square wave voltage to obtain the first voltage signal.
[0181] The second full-wave rectifier circuit 163 is used to perform full-wave rectification on the second induced voltage signal output by the second secondary winding inducing the second square wave voltage, so as to obtain the second voltage signal.
[0182] Specifically, the first full-bridge circuit 131 and the second full-bridge circuit 161 can operate only in the first half-cycle and the second half-cycle, respectively. Therefore, only one full-bridge circuit needs to operate in the first and second half-cycles. The first transformer 132 can have two secondary windings, which are used to output the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal in the first and second half-cycles, respectively. The first connection and the second connection are connected through the first disconnect switch module 140 and the second disconnect switch module 170.
[0183] like Figure 5 As shown, the first full-bridge circuit 131 may include an H-bridge composed of four switching transistors Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. Q1 and Q4 form one current path, and Q3 and Q2 form another. The first transformer 132 may include a transformer T1. The first transformer 132 includes a first secondary winding T1-A and a second secondary winding T1-B. The first full-wave rectifier circuit 133 includes four rectifier diodes D1, D2, D3, and D4, where D1 and D3 form one current path, and D2 and D4 form another. The second full-wave rectifier circuit 163 includes four rectifier diodes (D5, D6, D7, and D8), where D5 and D7 form one current path, and D6 and D8 form another.
[0184] In the first half-cycle, control module 120 controls Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 to input a first square wave voltage signal to the first primary winding of the first transformer 132 via a first sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal. This first square wave voltage signal can generate a current in one or two directions in the first primary winding of the first transformer 132, thereby inducing a first induced voltage signal in the first secondary winding T1-A of the first transformer 132. The induced current in the first secondary winding T1-A of the first transformer 132 can be in one direction or in two directions. The first sinusoidal pulse width modulation signals applied by control module 120 to Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are different. First full-wave rectifier circuit 133 rectifies the induced current in the first secondary winding T1-A of the first transformer 132, generating a positive first voltage signal at the N-terminus of D1 and D4. First disconnecting switch module 140 connects the first connection, and first filter module 150 filters the first voltage signal to obtain a first AC voltage signal.
[0185] In the second half-cycle, control module 120 controls Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 to input a second square wave voltage signal to the first primary winding of the first transformer 132 via a second sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal. This second square wave voltage signal can generate a current in one or two directions in the first primary winding of the first transformer 132, thereby inducing a second induced voltage signal in the second secondary winding T1-B of the first transformer 132. The induced current in the second secondary winding T1-B of the first transformer 132 can be in one direction or two directions. The second sinusoidal pulse width modulation signals applied by control module 120 to Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are different. Second full-wave rectifier circuit 163 rectifies the induced current in the second secondary winding T1-B of the first transformer 132, generating a positive second voltage signal at the N pole of D5 and D7. Second isolating switch module 170 connects the second connection, and second filter module 180 filters the second voltage signal to obtain a second AC voltage signal.
[0186] This reduces the number of full-bridge circuits and transformers, lowers circuit complexity, and reduces costs.
[0187] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the first isolation transformer module 130 includes a first flyback isolation circuit composed of a first switching transistor 134, a third transformer 135, and a first rectifier diode 136. The first switching transistor 134 is connected to the first end of the third primary winding of the third transformer 135, and the second end of the third primary winding receives the DC voltage signal. The first rectifier diode 136 is connected to the third secondary winding of the third transformer 135. The first flyback isolation circuit converts the DC voltage signal into the first voltage signal during the first half-cycle based on the third sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal input by the control module 120 to the first switching transistor 134.
[0188] like Figure 7 As shown, the second isolation transformer module 160 includes a second flyback isolation circuit composed of a second switching transistor 164, a fourth transformer 165, and a second rectifier diode 166. The second switching transistor 164 is connected to the first end of the fourth primary winding of the fourth transformer 165, and the second end of the fourth primary winding is input with the DC voltage signal. The second rectifier diode 166 is connected to the fourth secondary winding of the fourth transformer 165. The second flyback isolation circuit converts the DC voltage signal into the second voltage signal in the second half-cycle based on the fourth sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal input to the second switching transistor 164 by the control module 120.
[0189] The first control signal includes the third sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal and the fourth sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal.
[0190] Here, the first switching transistor 134 and the first rectifier diode 136 can be connected to the opposite-name terminal of the third transformer 135. The first switching transistor 134 switches the current flowing out of the third primary winding of the third transformer 135 according to the third sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, thereby generating an induced electromotive force in the third secondary winding of the third transformer 135, which is rectified by the first rectifier diode 136 to obtain the first voltage signal.
[0191] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first switching transistor 134Q1 and the first rectifier diode 136D1 can be connected to the opposite-name terminal of the third transformer 135T1. In the first half-cycle, Q1 switches the current flowing out of the third primary winding of T1 according to the third sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, thereby generating an induced electromotive force in the third secondary winding of T1, which is rectified by the first rectifier diode 136D1 to obtain the first voltage signal.
[0192] In the first half-cycle, the first disconnecting switch module 140 conducts the first connection, and the first filtering module 150 filters the first voltage signal to obtain the first AC voltage signal.
[0193] Here, the second switching transistor 164 and the second rectifier diode 166 can be connected to the opposite-name terminal of the fourth transformer 165. The second switching transistor 164 switches the current flowing out of the fourth primary winding of the fourth transformer 165 according to the fourth sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, thereby generating an induced electromotive force in the fourth secondary winding of the fourth transformer 165, which is rectified by the second rectifier diode 166 to obtain the second voltage signal.
[0194] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second switching transistor 164Q5 and the second rectifier diode 166D5 can be connected to the opposite terminals of the fourth transformer 165T2. During the second half-cycle, Q5 switches the current flowing out of the fourth primary winding of T2 according to the fourth sinusoidal pulse width modulation signal, thereby generating an induced electromotive force in the fourth secondary winding of T2. This induced electromotive force is then rectified by D5 to obtain the second voltage signal.
[0195] In the second half-cycle, the second disconnecting switch module 170 connects the second connection, and the second filtering module 180 filters the second voltage signal to obtain the second AC voltage signal.
[0196] Flyback circuits have high conversion efficiency when the input voltage (i.e., DC voltage signal) is low, which can reduce energy waste.
[0197] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the first disconnecting switch module 140 includes: a third flyback isolation circuit composed of a third switch 141, a fifth transformer 142, and a third rectifier diode 143, and a fourth switch 144. The third switch 141 is connected to the first end of the fifth primary winding of the fifth transformer 142, and the second end of the fifth primary winding is input with the DC voltage signal. The third rectifier diode 143 is connected to the fifth secondary winding of the fifth transformer 142. The third flyback isolation circuit outputs a first disconnecting switch signal to the fourth switch 144 based on the first switching signal input to the third switch 141 by the control module 120, so as to turn on or off the first connection.
[0198] like Figure 10As shown, the second disconnecting switch module 170 includes: a fourth flyback isolation circuit composed of a fifth switch 171, a sixth transformer 172, and a fourth rectifier diode 173, and a sixth switch 174. The fifth switch 171 is connected to the first end of the sixth primary winding of the sixth transformer 172, and the second end of the sixth primary winding is input with the DC voltage signal. The fourth rectifier diode 173 is connected to the sixth secondary winding of the sixth transformer 172. The fourth flyback isolation circuit outputs a second disconnecting switch signal to the sixth switch 174 based on the second switching signal input to the fifth switch 171 by the control module 120, so as to turn on or off the second connection.
[0199] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the third switch transistor 141Q12 and the third rectifier diode 143D9 can be connected to the fifth primary winding and the fifth secondary winding of the fifth transformer 142T3, respectively. Q12 switches the current flowing out of the fifth primary winding of T3 according to the first switch signal, thereby generating an induced electromotive force in the fifth secondary winding of T3, which in turn generates a first isolating switch signal. This first isolating switch signal is used to control the conduction or closure of the fourth switch transistor 144Q9, thereby connecting or disconnecting the first connection. Because the first switch signal and the first isolating switch signal are isolated by the fifth transformer 142T3, the possibility of AC backflow from the AC power grid damaging the control module 120 is reduced. In the first half-cycle, the first isolating switch signal is used to control the fourth switch transistor 144Q9 to conduct, i.e., to connect the first connection. In the second half-cycle, the first isolating switch signal is used to control the fourth switch transistor 144Q9 to close, i.e., to disconnect the first connection.
[0200] The fifth switch transistor 171Q11 and the fourth rectifier diode 173D10 can be connected to the sixth primary winding and the sixth secondary winding of the sixth transformer 172T4, respectively. Q11 switches the current flowing out of the fifth primary winding of T4 according to the second switch signal, thereby generating an induced electromotive force in the sixth secondary winding of T4, which in turn generates a second isolating switch signal. This second isolating switch signal is used to control the conduction or closure of the sixth switch transistor 174Q10, thereby connecting or disconnecting the second connection. Since the second switch signal and the second isolating switch signal are isolated by the sixth transformer 172T4, the possibility of AC backflow from the AC power grid damaging the control module 120 is reduced. In the second half-cycle, the second isolating switch signal is used to control the conduction of the sixth switch transistor 174Q10, i.e., to connect the second connection. In the second half-cycle, the second isolating switch signal is used to control the closure of the sixth switch transistor 174Q10, i.e., to disconnect the first connection.
[0201] like Figure 4As shown, the negative output terminal of the first isolation transformer module 130 is connected to the positive output terminal of the second isolation transformer module 160 via the first isolation switch module 140 (controlled by the second isolation switch module). The output is then fed to the first terminal of the AC power grid via a filter module. The positive output terminal of the first isolation transformer module 130 is connected to the AC power grid, and the negative output terminal of the second isolation transformer module is connected to the second terminal of the AC power grid. This achieves power supply to the AC power grid.
[0202] In some embodiments, the voltage conversion circuit 100 further includes: a first voltage regulator module, used to regulate the DC voltage signal input to the second terminal of the fifth primary winding and the second terminal of the sixth primary winding.
[0203] In one possible implementation, the first voltage regulator module may include: a first resistor connected in series with the first input terminal of the DC voltage signal of the fifth primary winding, a Zener diode connected in parallel with the first input terminal, and a first capacitor connected in parallel with the first input terminal. The first resistor is used to limit the current flowing into the Zener diode.
[0204] In one possible implementation, the first voltage regulator module may include: a second resistor connected in series with the second input terminal of the DC voltage signal of the sixth primary winding, a Zener diode connected in parallel with the second input terminal, and a second capacitor connected in parallel with the second input terminal. The second resistor is used to limit the current flowing into the Zener diode.

[0269] The following provides several specific examples in conjunction with any of the above embodiments:
[0270] like Figure 17 As shown, this embodiment provides a flexible grid-connected inverter. During the positive half-cycle of the grid, the positive half-cycle enable module is turned on, and the boost / buck circuit module 1 is controlled to output a 50Hz sine wave positive half-cycle. During the negative half-cycle of the grid, the negative half-cycle enable module is turned on, and the boost / buck circuit module 2 is controlled to output a 50Hz sine wave negative half-cycle. At the filter inductor position, i.e., the LC filter module synthesizes a complete sine wave and then sends it to the grid. After the MCU synchronously crosses zero, it sets the constant current value of the 50Hz sine wave at each moment, and outputs and feeds back the constant current value of the sine wave at each moment on the secondary side of the high-frequency transformer.
[0271] like Figure 18 As shown, this embodiment provides a flexible grid-connected inverter, comprising a buck-boost module 1 (i.e., the first isolation transformer module), a sine wave positive half-cycle enable module (i.e., the first isolating switch module), an LC filter module (i.e., the first filter module and the second filter module), an MCU module (i.e., the control module), a current and zero-crossing detection module (i.e., the detection module), a buck-boost module 2 (i.e., the second isolation transformer module), and a sine wave negative half-cycle enable module (i.e., the second filter module and the second filter module); wherein, the current and zero-crossing detection module is used to feed back the grid zero-crossing signal and the inverter output current to the MCU module; wherein, the buck-boost module 1 is used to convert the grid zero-crossing signal and the inverter output current to the grid zero-crossing signal and the inverter output current. The solar module's power boost output is isolated during the positive half-cycle of a sine wave. The sine wave positive half-cycle enable module is used to control the power output of the buck-boost module 1 to be delivered to the grid during the positive half-cycle of the grid and to prevent grid power from flowing back into the secondary coil of the buck-boost module 1 during the negative half-cycle of the grid. The LC filter module is used to smooth the synthesized sine wave waveform. The buck-boost module 2 is used to isolate the negative half-cycle of the solar module's power boost output during the negative half-cycle of the sine wave. The sine wave negative half-cycle enable module is used to control the power output of the buck-boost module 2 to be delivered to the grid during the negative half-cycle of the grid and to prevent grid power from flowing back into the secondary coil of the buck-boost module 2 during the positive half-cycle of the grid.
[0272] like Figure 19As shown, the flexible inverter program workflow includes: The MCU module first reads the grid zero-crossing signal through the current and zero-crossing detection modules. After confirming normal grid connection by reading the zero-crossing signal cycle, it waits for the positive half-cycle zero-crossing. Upon arrival of the positive half-cycle zero-crossing, the MCU module enables the positive half-cycle enable module and calculates the required sinusoidal current value I+ in real time. It then outputs PWM to control the buck-boost module 1 to output the I+ current (adjusting the PWM duty cycle in real time based on the read current and the current feedback from the zero-crossing detection module). This process of calculating, setting, reading, and adjusting the current and PWM continues until the positive half-cycle of the sinusoidal wave is completed. The MCU module then disables the positive half-cycle enable module and waits for the negative half-cycle zero-crossing. Upon arrival of the negative half-cycle zero-crossing, the MCU module enables the negative half-cycle enable module and calculates the required sinusoidal current value I- in real time. It then outputs PWM to control the buck-boost module 2 to output the I- current (adjusting the PWM duty cycle in real time based on the read current and the current feedback from the zero-crossing detection module). The process of calculating, setting, reading, and adjusting the PWM current continues until the negative half-cycle of the sine wave is completed. The MCU module then disables the negative half-cycle enable module; thus, one cycle of the sine wave output is completed.
