Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of DC transformers, and more specifically to a bidirectional DC / DC converter and control method with phase-to-phase and phase-to-phase current splitting. Background Technology
[0002] DC transformers are key equipment in DC power grids. With the continuous increase in DC transmission capacity, DC transformers need to withstand voltages of several kV, and their capacity needs to reach MW or even GW. Currently, DC transformers are mainly divided into isolated transformers and non-isolated transformers. While isolated transformers can utilize AC transformers to achieve high-voltage, high-power transmission, they are large and expensive, making them unsuitable for offshore flexible DC transmission scenarios. Non-isolated transformers, although having advantages in size, need to withstand several kA of current on the low-voltage side, resulting in excessive bridge arm current stress and switching losses, limiting their power delivery capacity. Therefore, how to improve the capacity, reduce cost, and decrease the size of non-isolated transformers has become a hot research topic. Summary of the Invention

[0055] Beneficial Effects: This invention proposes a bidirectional DC / DC converter with phase-to-phase and intra-phase current shunting, and provides its circuit topology. This DC / DC converter can achieve DC-DC transformation under high-current conditions, and can withstand a maximum current of 3600*5A on the low-voltage side (taking an existing IGBT with a current stress of 3600A as an example). Based on multi-phase phase-to-phase current shunting and parallel current shunting of half-bridge and full-bridge arms within each phase, this DC / DC converter achieves phase-to-phase and intra-phase current shunting of large currents on the low-voltage side, thereby reducing the current stress on the bridge arms.
[0056] This topology has the following characteristics and advantages:
[0057] 1. To reduce the current stress on the bridge arms and achieve high-power transmission, this topology is based on the principle of symmetrical staggered operation of four-phase bridge arms. Three-phase bridge arms share the low-voltage side current, and within each phase bridge arm, a method is employed such as... Figure 1 The connection method shown allows the current of the two phases connected in parallel with the low-voltage side to be evenly distributed within the full-bridge arm and half-bridge arm of each phase, thereby reducing the current stress in each phase arm to (I L -I H ) / 4.
[0058] 2. In order to achieve bidirectional high-power transmission while reducing device cost and losses, this topology uses a switching device consisting of a diode and a thyristor connected in anti-parallel.
[0059] 3. Within each phase, the full-bridge arm and half-bridge arm are connected via anti-parallel diodes and thyristors. When power is transferred from the low-voltage side to the high-voltage side, the diodes conduct under forward voltage; when power is transferred from the high-voltage side to the low-voltage side, the thyristors are triggered and conduct, and the half-bridge arm outputs an additional reverse voltage U longer than the thyristor's reverse turn-off time. RE To achieve reliable turn-off of the thyristor.
[0060] The control method adopted in this invention enables the four phases (a, b, c, and d) of the DC / DC converter to maintain symmetrical alternating operation, achieving bidirectional power transmission. Furthermore, with this topology and control method, the current stress between the bridge arms and the switching loss are reduced when high power is transmitted, thereby increasing the capacity of the non-isolated transformer, reducing costs, and decreasing size.

[0082] 2. Advantages of bidirectional DC / DC converters with phase-to-phase and phase-to-phase current splitting:
[0083] 1. In any operating state, this DC / DC converter always has one phase's full-bridge arm and half-bridge arm connected in series to bear the voltage difference between the high and low voltage sides and the high-voltage side current. The other two phases' full-bridge arms and half-bridge arms share the low-voltage side voltage and the high-low voltage side current difference. This distributes the low-voltage side current among the three phase arms, and it is further divided among the full-bridge arms and half-bridge arms of the two phases connected in parallel with the low-voltage side. This achieves both inter-phase and intra-phase current shunting. Thus, the anti-parallel thyristors (T...) connected to the negative terminals of the high and low voltage sides... j3 ) and diode (D j3 The current stress will be reduced to (I) L -I H The current stress of each phase bridge arm submodule IGBT will be reduced to (I) / 2. L -I H ) / 4.
[0084] 2. The four phases of the bidirectional DC / DC converter with phase-to-phase and phase-to-phase splitting are all composed of full-bridge arms and half-bridge arms. Each phase achieves bidirectional high-power transmission through three sets of anti-parallel thyristor and diode valve groups, with low loss and cost, and no need for bulky and expensive transformers.
[0085] 3. When the converter is working, one-third of the power on the low-voltage side is directly output to the high-voltage side, which can reduce the energy storage requirements of the bridge arm.

H -U L The output voltage of the full-bridge arm in phase b is -(U) / 2-U1. H -U L ) / 2-U1, the output voltage of the half-bridge arm is (U H -U L The voltage difference 4U1 between phase a and phase b is applied to the bridge arm inductance 4L of the two phases, causing the full-bridge arm current in phase a to change from I at a rate of 4U1 / 4L. H As the current linearly decreases to 0, the half-bridge arm current changes from -I at a rate of 4U1 / 4L. H As the current increases linearly to 0, the full-bridge arm current in phase b also increases linearly from 0 to I at the same rate. H The half-bridge arm current decreases linearly from 0 to -I at the same rate of change. H .
[0090] During the period [t1,t2], phase a is in a disconnected state, and its full-bridge arm current and half-bridge arm current are both 0. To reduce switching losses, the low-voltage side thyristor T is kept in a state of no connection. a3 When the ZVS turn-on condition is met, the output voltage of the full-bridge arm is changed from -(U H -U L) / 2 Step-by-step switch to U L The output voltage of the half-bridge arm is determined by (U) H -U L ) / 2 Step-by-step switch to U L .
[0091] During the period [t2,t3], thyristor T a3 When the circuit is triggered, phase c and phase a begin commutation on the low-voltage side. At this time, the output voltage of both the full-bridge arm and the half-bridge arm in phase a is U. L -U0, the output voltage of both the full-bridge arm and the half-bridge arm in phase c is U L +U0, diode D a1 Under positive voltage conduction, the voltage difference 2U0 between phase c and phase a is applied to the bridge arm inductance 2L of the two phases, causing both the full-bridge arm current and the half-bridge arm current in phase a to increase linearly from 0 to (I) at a rate of 2U0 / 2L. L -I H In phase c, both the full-bridge arm current and the half-bridge arm current change at a rate of 2U0 / 2L from (I) / 4. L -I H It decreases linearly from 0 to 0.
[0092] During [t3,t4], the full-bridge arms and half-bridge arms of phases a and d are connected in parallel to the low-voltage side for charging. The charging current of both the full-bridge arm and the half-bridge arm is (I L -I H ) / 4, the charging voltage is U L .
[0093] During the period [t4,t5], phase a and phase c undergo commutation on the low-voltage side. At this time, the output voltage of both the full-bridge arm and the half-bridge arm in phase a is U. L +U0, the output voltage of both the full-bridge arm and the half-bridge arm in phase c is U L -U0, diode D c1 Under positive voltage conduction, the voltage difference 2U0 between the bridge arms of phases a and c is applied to the bridge arm inductance 2L of the two phases, causing both the full-bridge arm current and the half-bridge arm current in phase a to change at a rate of 2U0 / 2L from (I... L -I H As the current decreases linearly from 0 to 0, the full-bridge arm current and half-bridge arm current in phase c both increase linearly from 0 to 0 at a rate of 2U0 / 2L. L -I H ) / 4.
[0094] During the period [t5,t6], phase a is in a disconnected state, and its full-bridge arm current and half-bridge arm current are both 0. Its full-bridge arm voltage and half-bridge arm voltage first reach U... LIn addition, a reverse voltage U is output that is longer than the reverse turn-off time of the thyristor. RE Ensure thyristor T a3 To ensure reliable turn-off and reduce switching losses, the high-voltage side diode D... a2 The ZVS activation conditions are met, and the output voltage of its full-bridge arm is determined by U. L Switch step by step to -(U H -U L ) / 2, the output voltage of the half-bridge arm is determined by U L Switch step by step to (U) H -U L ) / 2.
[0095] During [t6,t7], phase d and phase a undergo commutation on the high-voltage side. At this time, the output voltage of the full-bridge arm in phase a is -(U H -U L ) / 2-U1, the output voltage of the half-bridge arm is (U H -U L The output voltage of the full-bridge arm in phase d is -(U) / 2+U1. H -U L The output voltage of the half-bridge arm is (U) / 2+U1. H -U L The voltage difference 4U1 between phase d and phase a is applied to the bridge arm inductance 4L of the two phases, causing the full-bridge arm current in phase a to increase linearly from 0 to I at a rate of 4U1 / 4L. H The half-bridge arm current decreases linearly from 0 to -I at a rate of 4U1 / 4L. H The full-bridge arm current in phase d also changes at the same rate from I... H As the current linearly decreases to 0, the half-bridge arm current changes from -I at the same rate. H It increases linearly to 0.
[0096] During [t7,t8], the full-bridge arm and half-bridge arm of phase a are connected via diode D. a2 Discharge is connected in series between the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side, and the discharge current of the entire bridge arm is I. H The full-bridge arm output voltage is -(U H -U L The discharge current of the half-bridge arm is -I / 2. H The output voltage of the half-bridge arm is (U H -U L ) / 2.
[0097] In this way, the bidirectional DC / DC converter with phase-to-phase and phase-to-phase current splitting completes one duty cycle T. s During reverse transmission, the theoretical voltage and current waveforms of the full-bridge arm and half-bridge arm in phase a are as follows: Figure 5As shown, the process is similar to that of forward transmission, and will not be repeated here. Because the bidirectional DC / DC converter operates with four-phase symmetrical interleaving, which splits current twice between phases and within a phase, the voltage and current waveforms of the full-bridge arm and half-bridge arm of adjacent phases have the same shape and are 90° out of phase.
[0098] 2. Control scheme for a bidirectional DC / DC converter with phase-to-phase and phase-to-phase current splitting
[0099] The control block diagram of a bidirectional DC / DC converter with phase-to-phase and phase-to-phase splitting is shown below. Figure 9 As shown, the control scheme consists of five parts. For both full-bridge and half-bridge arms, it includes arm energy balance control, arm current control, and arm voltage feedforward control. In addition, it includes thyristor converter valve on / off control, submodule capacitor voltage equalization, and carrier phase-shift modulation. The following analysis uses the control scheme for the full-bridge arm during forward transmission as an example.
[0100] First, based on the system's power control requirements, the formula P = U H I H =U L I L The charging current amplitude (I) of each phase full-bridge arm is obtained. L -I H ) / 4 and discharge current amplitude I H The discharge current amplitude I H Multiplying this by waveform generator 2 yields the reference discharge current waveform i for each phase of the full-bridge arm. FB_out_ref Because this DC / DC converter incurs losses during power transmission, bridge arm energy balance control is required. This control part adjusts the total capacitor voltage u of each bridge arm submodule. C_sum_FB Its reference value U C_sum_ref The deviation is fed into a proportional-integral (PI) controller, whose output is used to adjust the current amplitude during arm charging, thereby maintaining the total energy balance of the arms. Simultaneously, to achieve rapid control of the full-bridge arm energy balance, a current feedforward value (If) during full-bridge arm charging needs to be introduced. L -I H ) / 4. Multiplying the charging current amplitude obtained from this part of the control by waveform generator 1, the reference signal i of the charging current of each phase full-bridge arm can be obtained. FB_in_ref Furthermore, the current reference signal i for each phase full-bridge arm is synthesized. FB_ref Furthermore, to ensure that the actual current of each phase full-bridge arm can track its reference signal, arm current control needs to be introduced. This control involves using the previously obtained current reference signal i of each phase full-bridge arm. FB_ref Its actual current i FB The difference is calculated and fed into a proportional-integral (PI) controller to obtain the bridge arm voltage regulation value u.FB_PI Simultaneously, to achieve rapid tracking of the bridge arm current, it is necessary to introduce commutation voltage feedforward U0 / U1 and bridge arm voltage feedforward control. This part of the control involves controlling the voltage amplitude U0 / U1 during full-bridge arm charging. L and the voltage amplitude during discharge - (U H -U L ) / 2 is multiplied by waveform generator 3 and waveform generator 4 respectively to obtain the voltage feedforward signal of each phase full bridge arm.
[0101] The control of each phase's half-bridge arm is similar to that of the full-bridge arm, and will not be elaborated here. In addition, thyristor commutator valve turn-on / turn-off control needs to be introduced to provide the trigger signal for the thyristor valve group and the reverse turn-off voltage U. RE Finally, by adding the voltage regulation signals and feedforward signals of each phase full-bridge arm and half-bridge arm, the voltage reference signal u can be obtained. FB_ref and u HB_ref By sending the reference signal into the submodule capacitor voltage equalization and carrier phase shift modulation, the IGBT drive signals of each submodule of each phase full-bridge arm and half-bridge arm can be obtained.
