Background Art

[0002] Renewable energy generation is often connected to the grid as distributed power sources, characterized by volatility and intermittency. Coupled with new energy vehicle (NEV) loads, the output of renewable energy generation differs significantly from the changing trends of electricity loads, making power forecasting challenging. The power flow distribution in distribution networks is fluctuating, making traditional distribution network control methods inadequate. Therefore, building intelligent, interconnected power grids based on DC microgrids will be a future trend for integrating large amounts of renewable energy, distributed energy storage systems, and corresponding converters into the grid. The core of building a DC microgrid lies in the design of isolated bidirectional DC converters. Three-phase dual-active bridge circuits, with their high specific power density and minimal input and output current ripple, are increasingly becoming a dominant approach in isolated bidirectional DC converter designs. To mitigate power fluctuations caused by renewable energy generation and ensure reliable power supply and safe operation, energy storage devices must be integrated to enable grid-connected devices to achieve peak, frequency, and voltage regulation. Therefore, the use of a multi-port AC / DC / DC converter structure and its control method to flexibly regulate power flows between photovoltaics, energy storage, and the grid will effectively improve system operational stability.

[0003] In existing technologies, the simultaneous connection of photovoltaics and energy storage to the grid requires the introduction of multiple power electronic converter modules, which brings problems of large size and high cost.
