Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a converter, in particular to a flying capacitor-based multi-level bidirectional buck-boost DCDC converter. Background Art

[0002] At present, flying capacitor type multi-level circuits are widely used in converters and other fields due to their simple topology and easy solution to the voltage balancing problem. However, as the number of levels of the existing flying capacitor type multi-level circuit increases, the number of flying capacitors used increases exponentially. For example, a flying capacitor type three-level circuit only requires one level of flying capacitor, while a five-level circuit, a seven-level circuit, and a nine-level circuit require three-level, five-level, and seven-level flying capacitors, respectively. At the same time, the voltage borne by each level of flying capacitor also increases step by step. Taking the three-level flying capacitor as an example, the voltage borne by the second-level flying capacitor is twice that of the first-level flying capacitor, and the voltage borne by the third-level flying capacitor is three times that of the first-level flying capacitor, which will cause the volume and number of the second-level and third-level flying capacitors to be much larger than the volume of the first-level flying capacitor. Therefore, the three-level flying capacitor of the five-level circuit will use 6 sub-flying capacitors in actual engineering applications, the five-level flying capacitor of the seven-level circuit will use 15 sub-flying capacitors in actual engineering applications, and the seven-level flying capacitor of the nine-level circuit will use 28 sub-flying capacitors in actual engineering applications, which will greatly increase the volume and weight of the entire DCDC converter.

[0003] In the field of energy storage and other new energy, when the charger charges the battery, if the battery voltage is low, the converter works in buck mode. When the battery voltage rises above the DC bus, the converter needs to work in boost mode. The traditional non-isolated Buck converter can only achieve buck mode, and the Boost converter can only achieve boost mode. Therefore, as the bus voltage of energy storage photovoltaics gradually increases, it is urgent to develop a converter that can achieve both buck control and boost control based on optimizing the number of flying capacitors.

[0033] In order to make the advantages and features of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a flying capacitor-based five-level bidirectional buck-boost DCDC converter includes a Bus-side buck-boost unit, a DC-side buck-boost unit, a first filter inductor Ls1 and a second filter inductor Ls2.

[0036] The circuit topology of the bus-side buck-boost unit and the DC-side buck-boost unit are exactly the same. The two units differ only in the external connection relationship and the control of the switch tube. The specific circuit topology is described below using the bus-side buck-boost unit as an example.

[0037] The bus-side buck-boost unit includes two groups of bus capacitors, four groups of switch tubes and two groups of flying capacitors. Each group of bus capacitors includes two sub-bus capacitors connected in series. The two sub-bus capacitors of the first group of bus capacitors are respectively recorded as sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus11 and sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus12, and the two sub-bus capacitors of the second group of bus capacitors are respectively recorded as sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus21 and sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus22. Sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus11, sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus12, sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus21, and sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus22 are connected in series in sequence, and the other end of sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus11 is connected to the high-voltage end Bus+ of the bus voltage, and the other end of sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus22 is connected to the low-voltage end Bus- of the bus voltage.

[0038] Each group of switch tubes includes a switch tube SA and a switch tube SB. When the circuit is powered on, the switch tube SA and the switch tube SB in the same group need to be controlled to be complementary and turned on. The switch tube SA and the switch tube SB can be MOSFET, IGBT, or other types of switch tubes. In this embodiment, the switch tube SA and the switch tube SB are both NMOS tubes. At the same time, each switch tube SA and the switch tube SB are respectively connected in parallel with a diode for freewheeling of the switch tube.

[0039] The four groups of switch tubes are divided into two parts. The first part includes two switch tubes SA and two switch tubes SB, which are respectively recorded as switch tube B-S1A, switch tube B-S3A, switch tube B-S1B, and switch tube B-S3B. The second part includes another two switch tubes SA and two switch tubes SB, which are respectively recorded as switch tube B-S2A, switch tube B-S4A, switch tube B-S2B, and switch tube B-S4B.

[0040] The drain of switch tube B-S3A is connected to the high voltage end Bus+ of the bus voltage, and its source is connected to the drain of switch tube B-S1A. The source of switch tube B-S1A and the drain of switch tube B-S1B are both connected to one end of the first filter inductor Ls1, and the source of switch tube B-S1B is connected to the drain of switch tube B-S3B. The source of switch tube B-S4A is connected to the low voltage end Bus- of the bus voltage, and its drain is connected to the source of switch tube B-S2A.

[0041] Among them, the phase angle of switch tube B-S2A lagging or leading switch tube B-S1A, the phase angle of switch tube B-S3A lagging or leading switch tube B-S2A, the phase angle of switch tube B-S4A lagging or leading switch tube B-S3A, and the phase angle of switch tube B-S1A lagging or leading switch tube B-S4A are all 360°÷2N, that is, the phase misalignment angles between the above switch tubes are all 360°÷4=90°. Correspondingly, the phase angle of switch tube B-S2B lagging or leading switch tube B-S1B, the phase angle of switch tube B-S3B lagging or leading switch tube B-S2B, the phase angle of switch tube B-S4B lagging or leading switch tube B-S3B, and the phase angle of switch tube B-S1B lagging or leading switch tube B-S4B are all 90°.

[0042] At the same time, the two groups of flying capacitors are divided into two parts, and each part in this embodiment includes only one group of flying capacitors, and this group of flying capacitors is used as the first-level flying capacitor. Each level of flying capacitor can use a sub-flying capacitor, or it can use multiple sub-flying capacitors connected in series when the voltage is large according to the size of the withstand voltage. In this embodiment, the first-level flying capacitors of the two parts each include a sub-flying capacitor. The capacitor of the first part in the Bus side buck-boost unit is recorded as a sub-flying capacitor B-Cf11, and the capacitor of the second part is recorded as a sub-flying capacitor B-Cf21. One end of the sub-flying capacitor B-Cf11 is connected to the source of the switch tube B-S3A, and the other end is connected to the drain of the switch tube B-S3B. One end of the sub-flying capacitor B-Cf21 is connected to the drain of the switch tube B-S4A, and the other end is connected to the source of the switch tube B-S4B.

[0043] In addition, Figure 2As shown, the Bus-side buck-boost unit also includes two groups of pre-charging resistors for charging the corresponding flying capacitors. The two groups of pre-charging resistors are also divided into two parts, that is, each part includes a group of pre-charging resistors, and this group of pre-charging resistors is used as the first-level pre-charging resistors. Each level of pre-charging resistors includes three sub-pre-charging resistors connected in series in sequence. In this embodiment, the first part includes sub-pre-charging resistors B-Rf11, sub-pre-charging resistors B-Rf12, and sub-pre-charging resistors B-Rf13 connected in series in sequence, and the second part includes sub-pre-charging resistors B-Rf21, sub-pre-charging resistors B-Rf22, and sub-pre-charging resistors B-Rf23 connected in series in sequence. The first-level pre-charging resistor of the first part is connected in parallel at both ends of the first group of bus capacitors, that is, the other end of the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf11 is connected to the other end of the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus11, and the other end of the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf13 is connected between the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus12 and the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus21; the first-level pre-charging resistor of the second part is connected in parallel at both ends of the second group of bus capacitors, that is, the other end of the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf21 is connected between the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus12 and the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus21, and the other end of the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf23 is connected to the other end of the sub-bus capacitor Cbus22. At the same time, the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf12 is connected in parallel at both ends of the sub-flying capacitor B-Cf11, and the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf22 is connected in parallel at both ends of the sub-flying capacitor B-Cf21.

[0044] The circuit topology of the DC side buck-boost unit is the same as that of the Bus side buck-boost unit. The two sub-bus capacitors of the first group of bus capacitors in the DC side buck-boost unit are respectively recorded as sub-bus capacitor D-Cbus11 and sub-bus capacitor D-Cbus12, and the two sub-bus capacitors of the second group of bus capacitors are respectively recorded as sub-bus capacitor D-Cbus21 and sub-bus capacitor D-Cbus22. The other end of the sub-bus capacitor D-Cbus11 is connected to the output high-end DC+, and the other end of the sub-bus capacitor D-Cbus22 is connected to the output low-end DC-. The two switch tubes SA and the two switch tubes SB in the first part of the DC side buck-boost unit are respectively recorded as switch tube D-S1A, switch tube D-S3A, switch tube D-S1B, and switch tube D-S3B, and the two switch tubes SA and the two switch tubes SB in the second part are respectively recorded as switch tube B-S2A, switch tube B-S4A, switch tube B-S2B, and switch tube B-S4B, then the drain of switch tube D-S3A is connected to the output terminal DC+, the source of switch tube D-S1A and the drain of switch tube D-S1B are both connected to the other end of the first filter inductor Ls1. The source of switch tube D-S4A is connected to the output low end DC-, and the drain of switch tube D-S2A and the source of switch tube D-S2B are both connected to the other end of the second filter inductor Ls2. The source of the switch tube D-S3B and the drain of the switch tube D-S4B are both connected between the sub-bus capacitor D-Cbus12 and the sub-bus capacitor D-Cbus21.

[0045] In the present invention, the voltage is evenly divided by two groups of bus capacitors, that is, each group of bus capacitors in the DC side buck-boost unit and the Bus side buck-boost unit bears 1 / 2 of the bus voltage, and in this embodiment, both parts of the DC side buck-boost unit and the Bus side buck-boost unit have only first-stage pre-charging resistors, and the resistance ratio of the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf11, the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf12, and the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf13 of the first part is 1:2:1, and the resistance ratio of the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf21, the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf22, and the sub-pre-charging resistor B-Rf23 of the second part is also 1:2:1. Since the first-stage flying capacitors of the two parts bear 1 / 4 of the bus voltage respectively, each stage of the pre-charging resistor of the two parts only needs to withstand 1 / 2 of the bus voltage. Compared with the existing flying capacitor type multi-level circuit, the flying capacitor type multi-level circuit of the present invention greatly reduces the voltage borne by the pre-charging resistor, thereby reducing the withstand voltage requirement and resistance loss of the pre-charging resistor.

[0046] The specific working principle is: when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage, the DCDC converter works in the buck mode, all the switch tubes SA in the DC side buck-boost unit are always turned on, all the switch tubes SB are always turned off, all the switch tubes SA and the corresponding switch tubes SB in the Bus side buck-boost unit are complementary turned on, and the control method is pulse width modulation. The relationship between the DC voltage of the DC side buck-boost unit, the DC voltage of the Bus side buck-boost unit, and the conduction duty cycle of the switch tube SA in the Bus side buck-boost unit can be approximately calculated by the following formula:

[0047] V DC ≈V BUS ×D BUS

[0048] In the above formula, V DC is the DC voltage of the DC side buck-boost unit;

[0049] V Bus is the DC voltage of the buck-boost unit on the Bus side;

[0050] D BUS It is the conduction duty cycle of the switch tube SA in the buck-boost unit on the Bus side.

[0051] When the input voltage is close to the output voltage, all the switch tubes SA in the Bus-side buck-boost unit are complementary to the corresponding switch tubes SB, and all the switch tubes SA in the DC-side buck-boost unit are complementary to the corresponding switch tubes SB. The relationship between the DC-side buck-boost unit's DC voltage, the Bus-side buck-boost unit's DC voltage, the conduction duty cycle of the switch tubes SA in the Bus-side buck-boost unit, and the conduction duty cycle of the switch tubes SB in the DC-side buck-boost unit can be approximately calculated by the following formula:

[0052]

[0053] In the above formula, D DC is the conduction duty cycle of the switch tube SB in the DC side buck-boost unit.

[0054] When the input voltage is lower than the output voltage, all the switch tubes SA in the Bus-side buck-boost unit are always turned on, all the switch tubes SB are always turned off, and all the switch tubes SA and the corresponding switch tubes SB in the DC-side buck-boost unit are complementary turned on. The relationship between the DC voltage of the DC-side buck-boost unit, the DC voltage of the Bus-side buck-boost unit, and the conduction duty cycle of the switch tube SB in the DC-side buck-boost unit can be approximately calculated by the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, it is a timing waveform diagram of controlling the input voltage to be higher than the output voltage in this embodiment, wherein BG1A is the driving waveform of the switch tube B-S1A, BG1B is the driving waveform of the switch tube B-S1B, BG2A is the driving waveform of the switch tube B-S2A, BG2B is the driving waveform of the switch tube B-S2B, BG3A is the driving waveform of the switch tube B-S3A, BG3B is the driving waveform of the switch tube B-S3B, BG4A is the driving waveform of the switch tube B-S4A, and BG4B is the driving waveform of switch tube B-S4B, DG1A is the driving waveform of switch tube D-S1A, DG1B is the driving waveform of switch tube D-S1B, DG2A is the driving waveform of switch tube D-S2A, DG2B is the driving waveform of switch tube D-S2B, DG3A is the driving waveform of switch tube D-S3A, DG3B is the driving waveform of switch tube D-S3B, DG4A is the driving waveform of switch tube D-S4A, and DG4B is the driving waveform of switch tube D-S4B. Figure 4 : is a timing waveform diagram of controlling the input voltage to be close to the output voltage in this embodiment, Figure 5 1 is a timing waveform diagram of controlling the input voltage to be lower than the output voltage in this embodiment.

[0057] Compared with the existing flying capacitor type five-level circuit, the present invention is a flying capacitor type five-level bidirectional buck-boost DCDC converter, the number of sub-flying capacitors in the DC side buck-boost unit and the Bus side buck-boost unit is reduced from 6 to 2, and the pre-charging circuit (the number of pre-charging resistors) of the flying capacitors in the two units is also reduced from 3 to 2. In addition, by setting the Bus side buck-boost unit and the DC side buck-boost unit, both buck control and boost control can be achieved.

[0058] Embodiment 2

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, a flying capacitor-based nine-level bidirectional buck-boost DCDC converter is different from the first embodiment only in the number of sub-bus capacitors, switch tubes and flying capacitors in the bus-side buck-boost unit and the DC-side buck-boost unit. Also taking the bus-side buck-boost unit as an example, this embodiment includes two groups of bus capacitors, eight groups of switch tubes and six groups of flying capacitors.

[0060] Each group of bus capacitors includes four sub-bus capacitors. The four sub-bus capacitors of the first group of bus capacitors are respectively recorded as sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus11, sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus12, sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus13 and sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus14, and the three sub-bus capacitors of the second group of bus capacitors are respectively recorded as sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus21, sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus22, sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus23 and sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus24. The sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus11, the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus12, the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus13, the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus14, the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus21, the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus22, the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus23, and the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus24 are connected in series in sequence, and the other end of the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus11 is connected to the high-voltage end Bus+ of the bus voltage, and the other end of the sub-bus capacitor B-Cbus24 is connected to the low-voltage end Bus- of the bus voltage.

[0061] The selection and setting of each group of switch tubes are the same as those in Example 1. The eight groups of switch tubes are divided into two parts.
