Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation, and in particular to a modulation strategy for midpoint potential balance of a three-level three-phase four-bridge-arm inverter. Background Art

[0002] As a sustainable and clean energy, solar energy has many advantages. In recent years, photovoltaic power generation technology, as a method to effectively utilize solar energy resources, has received widespread attention and support.

[0003] In photovoltaic systems, three-level inverters offer a range of advantages over traditional two-level inverters, including lower output harmonic content, reduced losses, higher switching frequencies, lower costs, reduced electromagnetic interference, improved stability, and higher reliability. The three-phase, four-leg inverter topology is widely used in photovoltaic power generation systems due to its unbalanced load handling capabilities, flexible control, high DC voltage utilization, and compact size and weight.

[0004] However, due to the limitations of the three-phase four-leg inverter's topology, when the bridge arm output state is zero level, current will flow into the midpoint of the DC side capacitor, causing fluctuations in the midpoint potential. The midpoint potential fluctuation will affect the output waveform quality. If it is not controlled, it may cause excessive midpoint imbalance, causing the inverter to malfunction and further cause the entire device to crash and shut down. Therefore, the midpoint balance problem of the three-level three-phase four-leg inverter is the core issue for the inverter to work properly. Many experts and scholars have studied the suppression of midpoint balance and proposed many solutions:

[0005] The Chinese invention patent disclosure specification "A midpoint voltage balancing method for a three-phase four-bridge-arm three-level inverter" (CN118074554A) provides a three-phase four-bridge-arm midpoint voltage balancing method that adjusts the size of the modulation wave by real-time sampling of various electrical quantities and closed-loop calculation of the positive and negative equalizing loop gains. This method can balance the midpoint voltage within the full power factor range, but the auxiliary circuit and control are too complex, and due to the limitations of the control, the midpoint potential always fluctuates to a certain extent, which increases the cost of selecting DC side capacitors. In addition, the fourth bridge arm is used to balance the midpoint potential and cannot be used as a zero-sequence channel, which also makes the utilization rate of the DC side voltage low.

[0006] The Chinese invention patent disclosure specification "A method for suppressing midpoint potential drift in a three-phase, four-leg, three-level inverter" (CN101510736A) proposes a modulation strategy that separately selects the switching states of the first three bridge arms and the fourth bridge arm and uses paired long vectors to replace the midpoint vector to suppress midpoint potential fluctuations. This can make the current flowing into the midpoint of the DC side capacitor have an average value of zero within one cycle. However, the vector control algorithm is relatively complex and the fourth bridge arm is also used to balance the midpoint potential, so it cannot be used as a zero-sequence channel, resulting in a relatively low utilization rate of the DC side voltage.

[0007] In summary, the prior art still has the following problems:

[0008] 1. In the existing modulation method, the fourth bridge arm is used to balance the midpoint potential and cannot be used as a zero-sequence channel. The utilization rate of the DC side voltage is relatively low.

[0009] 2. The existing modulation method has a cumbersome calculation process, a complex implementation algorithm, high cost, and is difficult to implement and apply to engineering projects;

[0010] 3. The existing modulation method cannot be combined with other modulation strategies to optimize two control objectives at the same time; Summary of the Invention
