[0062] At present, with the high proportion of new energy sources connected to the power system, the stability of the grid-connected converter faces huge challenges. In the relevant technology, the grid-connected mode of the converter is different based on the different control modes of the converter. For example, when the converter control mode is the grid-following type, the grid-connected converter is connected to the grid so that the output power can be supplied to the grid. In the field of renewable energy, the output power of renewable energy equipment is adjusted to the output power with the same frequency and phase as the grid through the converter and then injected into the grid to meet the power demand; when the converter control mode is the grid-building type, there is no grid system, and it is necessary to build a grid based on renewable energy or batteries and multiple converters. The main converter generates AC power by itself, so that the slave machine can be synchronized with the AC power and then connected to the grid built by itself.

[0063] During the grid connection process, it is critical to ensure that the AC power output by the converter is synchronized with the phase of the grid or that the AC power output by each converter is synchronized with each other. However, the existing phase synchronization methods have a slow response speed to grid faults or interference, which may cause phase deviation and unstable operation. In addition, for large-scale grid-connected systems, the accuracy and stability of phase synchronization are also challenges, resulting in the inability of the converter to operate normally.

[0064] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a method for controlling the grid-connected operation of a converter. In the embodiment of the present application, the power system includes a master control device and multiple converters. The multiple converters are serially connected through a network cable. The master control device can send response information to the multiple converters connected in series through the converter connected thereto to obtain instructions. According to the time sequence of the response information feedback, the master converter and the slave converter are determined. Then, the phase synchronization is achieved between the master converter and the slave converter through the synchronization signal on the signal side, and the same synchronous alternating current is output to control multiple converters to be grid-connected. The above scheme improves the configuration accuracy of the master and slave converters through serial communication between multiple converters, and performs phase synchronization through the synchronization signal on the signal side, which reduces the delay of the communication transmission synchronization signal, and can improve the accuracy and stability of the grid-connected operation of the converter.

[0065] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present application, specific embodiments are provided below.

[0066] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in this embodiment does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiment of the present application.

[0067] See also Figure 1 , the present application embodiment provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a power system. The power system includes a main control device, multiple converters, a grid-side connection line, a signal-side connection line, and multiple power input devices. The main control device is connected to any converter among the multiple converters, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main control device can be connected to the converter at the head of the queue, and can also be connected to the converter at the end of the queue, which is not limited in this application.

[0068] Among them, multiple inverters are connected in series through a network cable, and their network signals are transmitted serially. Each inverter can receive the complete network signal sent by the main control device. Specifically, the main control device sends a network signal to the inverter connected to it. After receiving the network signal, the inverter connected to the main control device forwards the received network signal to the next level inverter through the network cable, and forwards it in sequence, so that each inverter can receive the complete network signal sent by the main control device.

[0069] Among them, each converter is connected to the corresponding power input device respectively, and is used to obtain electrical data input by the power input device to convert and process the input electrical data to obtain alternating current that can be connected to the grid. Its electrical data at least includes input voltage and input current.

[0070] Each converter is also connected to the signal side connection line, and can be phase synchronized according to the synchronous AC power. For example, if one converter generates a synchronization signal according to the synchronous AC power and sends it to the signal side, then other converters can obtain the synchronization signal through the connection with the signal side connection line to generate synchronous AC power corresponding to the synchronization signal and realize grid-connected operation.

[0071] In order to improve the accuracy and stability of the grid-connected operation of the converter, first, the main converter and the slave converter among the multiple converters can be configured through the main control device. Specifically, the main control device can send a response information acquisition instruction to the multiple converters connected in series through the network cable between the converters connected to it. After receiving the response information acquisition instruction, the multiple converters will feedback the response information to the main control device. Therefore, according to the time of the feedback response information, the converter that first feedbacks the response information can be configured as the main converter, and the remaining converters can be configured as slave converters. Secondly, the main control device can control the main converter to output synchronous alternating current for grid-connected operation, and at the same time control the main converter to output a synchronization signal to the signal side according to the synchronous alternating current, wherein the frequency and phase of the synchronization signal are the same as the frequency and phase of the synchronous alternating current. When the synchronization signal can be detected on the connection line on the signal side, the slave converter can sample the signal through the connection with the signal side connection line, obtain the synchronization signal, and then output the same synchronous alternating current as the main converter according to the synchronization signal, and then perform grid-connected operation with the main converter to realize the grid-connected operation control of the converter.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the master control device can configure the master-slave converter by sending response information to obtain instructions, and complete phase synchronization between the master and slave converters according to the synchronization signal on the signal side, thereby performing grid-connected operation. The grid-connected operation control method improves the accuracy and stability of the converter's grid-connected operation.

[0073] In one possible implementation, each converter may be composed of a power board, a control board, and a signal board, wherein the control board is used to receive response information acquisition instructions from the main control device and provide feedback, and may also send a synchronization signal to the signal side, or process the sampled synchronization signal, and output a modulated signal to the power board after processing; the power board is used to output synchronous alternating current, specifically, the power board may convert the electrical data input by the power input device based on the modulated signal sent by the control board, so as to convert it into synchronous alternating current and then output it to the grid side; and the signal board has different functions depending on the direction of signal transmission.

[0074] For example, Figure 2 The structural diagram of a specific example of the power system shown in the figure. The control of the grid-connected operation of the converter can be realized by: the main control device sends a response information acquisition instruction to the control boards of multiple converters through the cascade of network signals, and the converter that feedbacks the fastest response information is used as the master converter, and the remaining converters are configured as slave converters, for example Figure 2As shown in , the converter corresponding to the control board connected to the main control device through the network cable is used as the main converter, and the rest are slave converters. Among them, the direction of the signal board in the main converter is pointing to the signal side connection line, indicating that the signal board transmits signals to the signal side connection line; and the direction of the signal board in the slave converter is pointing to the control board, indicating that the signal board obtains the signal from the signal side connection line and transmits it to the control board.

[0075] The specific method of configuring it as the main inverter can be to determine the inverter corresponding to the inverter identifier based on the feedback response information (such as inverter number, inverter interface number and other inverter identifiers), and control the signal transmission direction of the signal board of the inverter from the control board to the signal side connection line, thereby completing the configuration of the main inverter.

[0076] The specific method of configuring it as a slave converter can be to select a slave converter based on the feedback response information, control the transmission direction of the signal board of the slave converter to be transmitted from the signal side connecting line to the control board, and then complete the configuration of the slave converter.

[0077] Specifically, the process of the control board controlling the power board to output synchronous AC power can be: the control board generates a modulation signal and transmits it to the power board according to the frequency and phase that need to be synchronized, and the power board converts the DC power input by PV (photovoltaic) or Bat (battery) according to the modulation signal and can output synchronous AC power. Among them, for the main converter and the slave converter, the method of obtaining the frequency and phase that need to be synchronized is different. For the main converter, in the grid-following control method, the frequency and phase that need to be synchronized can be obtained by measuring the frequency or phase of the grid connection point, while in the grid-forming control method, there is no grid in the system of the present application, and multiple converters need to output AC power to form a grid. At this time, the main converter generates the frequency and phase that need to be synchronized by itself. For the slave converter, whether it is a grid-following type or a grid-forming type, the synchronization signal is sampled from the signal side connection line to obtain the frequency and phase that need to be synchronized.

[0078] Among them, PV and Bat can provide input power to the power board through BMS (Battery Management System), and the charging and discharging status of PV and Bat can be managed by BMS to more accurately control the input power.

[0079] In a possible implementation, the control board may perform information interaction between multiple converters and generate modulation signals to control power devices of the power board based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

[0080] It should be understood that in the related art, the processing method for multi-machine grid connection often adopts a communication solution, but the communication has a certain delay, so the phase synchronization of multi-machine parallel connection cannot be truly achieved through this solution. At this time, if a unified synchronization signal (the signal includes the frequency and phase to be synchronized) is generated for phase synchronization, the above-mentioned delay problem will be greatly improved. However, this requires consuming twice the ADC (Analog to digital converter) resources and twice the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) wave output resources, and the use of FPGA has a good natural advantage in PWM wave output and parallel processing. Therefore, this application selects FPGA as the main controller of the converter.

[0081] For example, Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing another specific example of a power system. Figure 3 The control board is shown to include power supply, ADC, FPGA, TF (Transformer, network transformer), PHY (Physical Layer, external signal interface chip), MCU (Microcontroller Unit, micro control unit), FLASH (flash memory chip), SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, synchronous dynamic random access memory), DDR (Double Data Rate, double rate synchronous dynamic random access memory).

[0082] Among them, the power supply is used to power the chips on the entire control board. The main function of ADC is to collect analog signals and convert them into digital signals for use in the control algorithm inside the FPGA, such as converting them into digital signals of the frequency and phase of synchronous AC power. FPGA is used for loop control of the entire system and generation of PWM waves to control the power devices of the power board. SDRAM / DDR is used for data caching, etc. PHY is an external signal interface chip. Depending on the scenario requirements, it can be a Gigabit or 100M chip for information transmission. TF is a network transformer, which is mainly used for communication isolation between devices. MCU is the business processing part of the control board, including program upgrades, system parameter configuration, instruction parsing, etc. FLASH is mainly used to store programs and system configuration parameters for MCU and FPGA.

[0083] exist Figure 3The power board and synchronization signal board are also shown, which mainly include: power switch tube MOS (MOSFET, field effect transistor), IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), GaN\SiC (gallium nitride\silicon carbide), power inductor and capacitor, drive circuit, low-power triode, MOS tube, capacitor inductor, relay, etc.

[0084] Among them, current and voltage sampling mainly attenuates and isolates high-voltage AC signals, and converts high-voltage signals into low-voltage signals that can be recognized by ADC. For example, the converter-related parameters (such as output frequency, output phase, output voltage, output current, and operating temperature, etc.) collected by the drive circuit are converted into low-voltage signals that can be recognized by ADC through current and voltage sampling, and then transmitted to FPGA, and then transmitted to the main control device by FPGA, so that the main control device can obtain relevant parameter information of the converter. MOS, IGBT, GaN, SiC, and other high-power devices are mainly power switching tubes, which convert signal-level PWM into power level. For example, the PWM signal sent by the control board is converted into power level for identification. Power inductors and capacitors filter the power-level PWM signal generated by the switch tube and finally convert it into AC. Low-power transistors and MOS, C / L (inductor capacitor) are used to generate synchronization signals (such as three-phase AC signals) that are synchronized with the phase of synchronous AC power.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the configuration of each converter is the same. When one of the converters is configured as a master, the relay on the signal side will be connected to the low-power transistor, MOS, and C / L (inductor and capacitor) of the converter to inject the synchronization signal into the connection line on the signal side. When one of the converters is configured as a slave, the relay on the signal side will be connected to the current and voltage sampling to facilitate sampling, perform phase-locked operations, and synchronize the phase with the phase of the synchronous AC power of the master converter.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, multiple converters are cascaded through network signals (Gigabit / 100M network) for signal transmission, such as Figure 3 As shown in , the main control device is connected to the TF of the converter control board through a network cable, and then the TF of the control board is connected to the TF of the next-level converter control board through the network cable until all serial connections are completed to transmit serial signals.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, a master control device in an electric power system can send response information acquisition instructions to multiple serially connected converters through the converter connected thereto to configure the master converter and the slave converter, thereby improving the configuration accuracy of the master and slave converters. The master converter is then controlled to output synchronous alternating current according to the electrical data input by the electric energy input device, and a synchronization signal is output according to the synchronous alternating current. The slave converter can output synchronous alternating current after sampling the synchronization signal to achieve phase synchronization, so as to control multiple converters to perform grid-connected operation. When the electric power system performs grid-connected operation control, the delay of the communication transmission synchronization signal is reduced, and the accuracy and stability of the converter grid-connected operation can be improved.

[0088] See also Figure 4 , shows a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling grid-connected operation of a converter provided in an embodiment of the present application; wherein the method in this embodiment is applied to Figure 1 The master device shown in . Figure 4 As shown, the grid-connected operation control method may include the following steps:

[0089] Step 401: Send a response information acquisition instruction to a plurality of serially connected converters through a first converter.

[0090] The first converter refers to a converter connected to the main control device. It should be understood that the main control device and the first converter can be connected via a network cable to receive a response information acquisition instruction sent by the main control device or send feedback information to the main control device.

[0091] The response information acquisition instruction is used to acquire the response information of each converter. It should be noted that the response information may include a converter identification, such as a converter number, a converter interface number, etc. According to the corresponding converter identification, the master control device may configure multiple converters.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, the main control device can package the response information acquisition instruction and send it to the first inverter. Since multiple inverters are connected in series, the response information acquisition instruction sent to the first inverter can be transmitted step by step from the first inverter to the next level inverter until each inverter receives the response information acquisition instruction.

[0093] In a possible implementation, the grid-connected operation control method further includes:

[0094] Numbering the multiple converters, and sending preset numbering instructions to the multiple converters so that each converter determines a corresponding preset number;

[0095] Based on a target number, sending a first target data acquisition instruction to a plurality of converters via a first converter;

[0096] The first target data fed back by the target converter via a plurality of cascaded upper converters is received.

[0097] The target converter refers to a converter numbered as a target number, and the first target data acquisition instruction includes the target number.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, the master control device can send a preset number instruction to multiple converters so that each converter can determine its corresponding preset number. Specifically, the master control device can determine the preset number range to be assigned to ensure that each converter can obtain a unique preset number, and then send a preset number instruction to the first converter to specify the first preset number. After receiving the instruction, the first converter can determine its own preset number based on its own converter identification. The preset number instruction includes the converter identification and the corresponding preset number. Then the first converter continues to send the preset number instruction to the subordinate converter, and the subordinate converter can determine its own preset number based on its own converter identification, and transmit the preset number instruction downward in sequence until all converters have received and processed the preset number instruction and determined the corresponding preset number.

[0099] It should be noted that in a serial connection, the preset numbered instructions are transmitted to each converter one by one, so there will be a delay in the time it takes for each converter to receive the instructions. In actual operation, it may be necessary to wait for a while to ensure that each converter has received and processed the instructions.

[0100] In addition, for serial connections, the transmission rate and communication protocol limitations must also be considered. Ensure that the serial connection between the master control device and each converter can support reliable data transmission and correct processing.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, if you want to obtain relevant parameters of a target converter during operation, you can send a first target data acquisition instruction to multiple converters based on the target number corresponding to the target converter. The first target data acquisition instruction includes the target number and the name of the operating parameter to be obtained. Due to the serial connection between the converters, each converter can receive the first target data acquisition instruction. The converter that receives the first target data acquisition instruction can determine whether to feedback its own operating parameter information by comparing its own number and the target number. Therefore, after sending the first target acquisition instruction, the master control device can receive the first target data fed back by the target converter via multiple cascaded upper converters.

[0102] For example, if you want to obtain relevant parameters of inverter No. 5 during operation, you can send a first target data acquisition instruction including target number 5 to multiple inverters. Each inverter compares its own number with 5, and finally receives the first target data fed back by inverter No. 5 via inverters No. 4, No. 3, No. 2, and No. 1. The first target data is the relevant parameters of inverter No. 5 during operation.

[0103] In a possible implementation, after the plurality of converters are numbered and preset numbering instructions are sent to the plurality of converters so that each converter determines a corresponding preset number, the method further includes:

[0104] Based on at least two target numbers, sending a second target data acquisition instruction to the plurality of converters via the first converter;

[0105] A plurality of target data fed back by at least two target converters respectively via a plurality of cascaded upper converters are received, and the second target acquisition instruction includes at least two target numbers.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, if you want to obtain relevant parameters of multiple target converters during operation, you can send a second target data acquisition instruction to multiple converters based on multiple target numbers corresponding to the multiple target converters. The second target data acquisition instruction includes multiple target numbers and the names of the operating parameters that need to be obtained. Due to the serial connection between the converters, each converter can receive the second target data acquisition instruction. The converter that receives the second target data acquisition instruction can determine whether to feedback its own operating parameter information by comparing its own number and the target number. Therefore, after sending the second target acquisition instruction, the master control device can receive multiple target data fed back by multiple target converters via multiple cascaded upper converters.

[0107] Exemplarily, if one wants to obtain relevant parameters of inverters No. 5 and No. 6 during operation, a second target data acquisition instruction including target number 5 and target number 6 can be sent to multiple inverters. Each inverter compares its own number with 5 and 6, and finally receives two sets of target data fed back by inverters No. 5 and No. 6 via inverters No. 4, No. 3, No. 2, and No. 1, which are respectively the relevant parameters of inverter No. 5 during operation and the relevant parameters of inverter No. 6 during operation.

[0108] In a possible implementation, for the above two methods of acquiring target data, receiving target data fed back by a target converter via a plurality of cascaded upper converters may specifically include:

[0109] Control multiple converters to parse the target data acquisition instruction, and compare the obtained target number with the preset number corresponding to the same;

[0110] If the target number is the same as the preset number corresponding to itself, the target converter is controlled to feed back the target data to the main control device based on the target data acquisition instruction.

[0111] The target data includes at least the output frequency, output phase, output voltage, output current and operating temperature of the target converter. The target converter obtains the target data by sampling the synchronous alternating current and the operating temperature and feeds it back to the main control device.

[0112] It should be understood that the synchronous AC power can be obtained by outputting a main converter among multiple converters, and the specific configuration of the main converter can be obtained by the following steps.

[0113] Step 402: Receive response information fed back by each converter, and configure the converter that first feeds back the response information as the master converter, and configure the remaining converters as slave converters.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, a specific configuration scheme may be: the main control device sends a response information acquisition instruction to each converter and waits for the converter's response, and then receives the response information of each converter in turn in the serial connection. For example, the response information of each converter may be read through a serial communication protocol, and the response information includes a converter identification and a converter interface number. The converter corresponding to the first response information received is determined as the main converter, and the remaining converters are determined as slave converters.

[0115] In a possible implementation, the response information further includes the serial number of the converter, and the converter corresponding to the first converter serial number received may be determined as the master converter, and the remaining converters may be determined as slave converters.

[0116] Exemplarily, the main control device configures the main converter. First, the signal board with the output signal direction from the control board to the signal side can be connected to the signal side to configure the converter as the main converter, for example Figure 5 As shown in the operation diagram of the main converter, the output signal direction is from the control board to the signal side. The signal board (i.e., the signal board on the left) is connected to the signal side. Connecting the signal board to the signal side indicates that the converter is configured as the main converter.

[0117] For example, Figure 6 The structural schematic diagram of the main converter is shown, in which FPGA is the main controller of the control board. The main control device can control the low-power transistor / MOS and inductor and capacitor in the synchronous signal board through FPGA to connect with the switch on the signal side to configure the converter as the main converter.

[0118] Exemplarily, the master control device configures the slave converter. First, the signal board with the output signal direction from the signal side to the control board can be connected to the signal side to configure the converter as a slave converter, for example Figure 7 As shown in the operation diagram of the slave converter, the signal board (i.e., the signal board on the right) whose output signal direction is from the signal side to the control board is connected to the signal side. Connecting the signal board to the signal side indicates that the converter is configured as a slave converter.

[0119] For example, in Figure 6 In the structural diagram of the main converter shown, the structures of the various parts of the slave converter are the same as those of the main converter. When configured as a slave converter, the main control device can control the current and voltage sampling in the synchronous signal board through FPGA and connect the switch on the signal side, thereby configuring the converter as a slave converter.

[0120] In a possible implementation, each converter is configured with a programmable processor, and each programmable processor is serially connected via a network cable; sending a response information acquisition instruction to a plurality of converters connected in series via a first converter includes:

[0121] Sending a response information acquisition instruction to a plurality of converters connected in series through a first programmable processor;

[0122] Correspondingly, receiving the response information fed back by each converter, and configuring the converter that first feeds back the response information as the master converter, and configuring the remaining converters as slave converters, includes:

[0123] Receive response information fed back by the programmable processor of each converter, configure the converter that first feeds back the response information as the master converter, and configure the remaining converters as slave converters.

[0124] The first programmable processor refers to a programmable processor configured in the first converter, that is, Figure 6 The FPGA of the first converter is shown.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present application, FPGA is a programmable hardware that can be flexibly configured and reprogrammed according to the needs of specific applications. This makes FPGA have advantages in applications that need to be frequently modified, updated or adapted to different algorithms or protocols. Compared with DSP processors, FPGA has shorter design and debugging time. It also has the ability of parallel computing and can perform multiple operations or tasks at the same time. For example, it can output multiple PWM modulated wave signals at the same time, and it has a large number of logic units (Look-Up Tables) and storage units (memory) inside, which can process multiple data streams in parallel, execute multiple instructions or run multiple tasks, thereby achieving high-performance parallel computing.

[0126] Therefore, in the implementation of the present application, a response information acquisition instruction can be sent by a first programmable processor to multiple serially connected converters, response information fed back by the programmable processors of each converter can be received, and the first converter that feeds back the response information can be configured as a master converter, and the remaining converters can be configured as slave converters.

[0127] In a possible implementation, each programmable processor is connected through a network cable via a network chip and a network transformer. The programmable processor is an FPGA, the network chip is a Gigabit network chip or a 100M network chip, and the network transformer is used for communication isolation between each converter.

[0128] Step 403, control the master converter to output synchronous AC power, and transmit a synchronization signal to the slave converter through the signal side connection line, control the slave converter to output synchronous AC power according to the synchronization signal, so as to control multiple converters to perform grid-connected operation.

[0129] The synchronous AC power output by the main converter may be synchronous AC power generated in synchronization with the grid by measuring the grid frequency and grid phase at the grid connection point, or may be synchronous AC power generated autonomously without relying on the grid.

[0130] In an embodiment of the present application, a synchronization signal may be generated based on the frequency and phase of the synchronous alternating current. The synchronization signal may be a three-phase sinusoidal signal. The frequency and phase of the three-phase sinusoidal signal are the same as the frequency and phase of the synchronous alternating current. The frequency and phase information may be transmitted to the slave inverter through the signal side connecting line, so that the slave inverter outputs synchronous alternating current according to the synchronization signal and controls multiple inverters for grid-connected operation.

[0131] In a possible implementation, multiple converters are connected to a signal-side connection line; controlling a master converter to output synchronous AC power, transmitting a synchronization signal to a slave converter through the signal-side connection line, and controlling the slave converter to output synchronous AC power according to the synchronization signal, so as to control multiple converters to perform grid-connected operation, including:

[0132] Control the main converter to output synchronous AC power, the output frequency and output phase of the synchronous AC power are the frequency and phase of grid-connected operation respectively;

[0133] Control the main converter to output a synchronous signal with the same frequency and phase as the synchronous AC power to the signal side connecting line;

[0134] Control the slave converter to obtain a synchronous signal by sampling the signal side connection line, so that the slave converter outputs synchronous AC power according to the synchronous signal;

[0135] Based on the synchronous AC power output by multiple converters, multiple converters are controlled to perform grid-connected operation.

[0136] In an embodiment of the present application, in the grid-following control mode of the converter, the frequency and phase of the grid-connected operation refer to the frequency and phase of the power grid; in the grid-building control mode of the converter, the frequency and behavior of the grid-connected operation refer to the frequency and phase autonomously generated by the main converter.

[0137] Exemplarily, the main inverter can output a three-phase sinusoidal signal to the signal side connection line according to the frequency and phase of the synchronous AC power to transmit the frequency and phase information of the synchronous AC power. The slave inverter can obtain the frequency and phase information of the synchronous AC power according to the sampled synchronization signal. The frequency and phase information of the synchronous AC power can be obtained to generate synchronous AC power. Multiple inverters all output the same synchronous AC power, so that they can be connected to the grid for operation.

[0138] In an embodiment of the present application, the power system includes a master control device and multiple converters, and the multiple converters are serially connected through a network cable. The master control device can send response information to the multiple converters connected in series through the converter connected thereto to obtain instructions, and determine the master converter and the slave converter according to the time sequence of the response information feedback, and then use the synchronization signal on the signal side to achieve phase synchronization between the master converter and the slave converter, and output the same synchronous AC power to control multiple converters to operate in grid connection. The above scheme improves the configuration accuracy of the master and slave converters through serial communication between multiple converters, and performs phase synchronization through the synchronization signal on the signal side, which reduces the delay of the communication transmission synchronization signal, and can improve the accuracy and stability of the converter grid connection operation.
