Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to photovoltaic grid-connected inverters and their modulation methods, devices, media, equipment, and products, belonging to the technical field of photovoltaic grid-connected inverters. Background Technology

[0002] In distributed photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, non-isolated grid-connected inverters (TLI) offer advantages such as small size, low cost, and high efficiency. However, due to the lack of effective electrical isolation between the TLI topology and the grid, common-mode voltage generates common-mode leakage current through the parasitic capacitance of the PV array to ground, increasing grid-connected current harmonics, affecting the quality of the incoming current, and potentially causing safety issues. Half-bridge TLI topologies directly connect the grid neutral point to the DC bus midpoint, clamping the voltage across the parasitic capacitance and suppressing leakage current. However, half-bridge TLI topologies exhibit significant voltage drop, requiring twice the input voltage of full-bridge TLI topologies, making them unsuitable for low-power applications. Full-bridge TLI topologies employing unipolar sinusoidal pulse width modulation also suppress leakage current, but generate high-frequency common-mode voltage, resulting in larger grid-connected current harmonics, and require two filter inductors, increasing cost.

[0057] The inverter network includes a flying capacitor C1, a first power switch S1, a second power switch S2, a third power switch S3, a fourth power switch S4, and a fifth power switch S5;

[0060] The technical concept of this invention is as follows: By inserting the fifth power switch S5 and the flying capacitor C1, the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter of this invention decouples the DC source from the AC grid in freewheeling mode, keeping the common-mode voltage unchanged to suppress leakage current.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the inverter network also includes a parasitic capacitance to ground, C. pv Parasitic capacitance to ground C pv One end is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source, and the parasitic capacitance to ground is C. pv The other end is grounded and connected to one end of the power grid; the negative terminal of the DC source is directly connected to one end of the power grid to form a common-ground topology, thereby generating a parasitic capacitance C to ground. pv Short circuit, thereby eliminating common-mode leakage current.

[0062] DC sources include photovoltaic cells (PV) and DC voltage regulator capacitors (C). dc The positive terminal of the photovoltaic cell PV is connected to a DC voltage regulator capacitor C. dcThe positive terminal of the photovoltaic cell (PV) is connected to the negative terminal of the DC voltage regulator capacitor (C). dc The negative electrode.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first power switch S1, the second power switch S2, the third power switch S3, the fourth power switch S4, and the fifth power switch S5 are all switching devices with symmetrical parasitic parameters.

[0064] The photovoltaic grid-connected inverter in this embodiment operates in two phases: an energy transfer phase and a freewheeling phase. During the negative half-cycle of the grid voltage, energy is provided by the flying capacitor C1.

[0065] Specifically, the design steps for the modulation method of a photovoltaic grid-connected inverter are as follows:

[0066] Step 1: Determine the operating mode selection principles. Based on the unipolar PWM modulation strategy, the operating mode selection principles are determined as follows: 1) Select photovoltaic cells that directly transfer energy to the grid whenever possible to reduce energy loss. 2) Select the minimum number of power switching transistors involved to reduce conduction losses. 3) Reduce the operating frequency of the power switching transistors to reduce switching losses.

[0067] Step Two: Analyze the common-mode characteristics of the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter. By simplifying the equivalent circuit of the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter, the equivalent common-mode voltage is obtained. The equivalent common-mode voltage v tCM The expression is as follows:

[0068]

[0069] In the formula, v AN This represents the potential difference between the AC output point A and the negative DC input point N; v BN This represents the potential difference between the AC output point B and the negative DC input point N.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, AC output point A is located at the filter inductor L. f Between the third power switch S3 and the fifth power switch S5, the AC output point B is located between the power grid and the fifth power switch S5, and the negative DC input point N is located between the DC source and the second power switch S2.

[0071] This photovoltaic grid-connected inverter inserts an additional fifth power switch S5 and a flying capacitor C1 into a traditional single-phase bridge inverter to decouple the DC side from the AC side during the inverter's freewheeling phase, maintain the common-mode voltage, and suppress leakage current.

[0072] Step 3: Divide the working area. The current flowing through the power grid is the grid-connected current i. g The voltage across the power grid is the grid voltage v. g Assuming from the filter inductor L fGrid-connected current i flowing to the power grid g The positive direction. Based on the grid-connected current i g and grid voltage v g Based on the direction, photovoltaic grid-connected inverters can be divided into four operating ranges I-IV, such as... Figure 2 As shown. Based on the energy transfer direction, each operating range has two operating stages, I-II: the energy transfer stage and the freewheeling stage. According to the relationship between the common-mode characteristics and the switching state in each operating range, and combined with the operating mode selection principle in step one, the operating stage can be changed by controlling the inverter's switching.

[0073] The following are the specific design steps for each work area:

Considering the switching states of Stage I and Stage II, and without affecting normal operation, to reduce the frequency of switching actions, the first power switch S1 and the fifth power switch S5 are kept constantly on within interval I.

[0075] Interval II: At this time, the grid-connected current i g In the positive direction, the grid voltage v g In the negative direction, the power grid generates power. During the energy transfer phase, according to principle 2, the power grid directly replenishes energy to the flying capacitor C1, and the second power switch S2 is turned on. Since the conduction of the fourth power switch S4 does not affect the normal operation of the energy transfer phase, and at the same time, it is necessary to provide a loop for the inductor freewheeling current, according to principle 3, the fourth power switch S4 is kept on throughout interval II. During the freewheeling phase, combined with the interval I modulation strategy, according to principle 3, the first power switch S1 and the fifth power switch S5 are turned on.

[0076] Interval III: At this time, the grid-connected current i g and grid voltage v g Both directions are negative, and the grid absorbs power. During the energy transfer phase, according to principle 2, the flying capacitor C1 directly transmits energy to the grid, and the second power switch S2 is turned on; during the freewheeling phase, the photovoltaic cell PV charges the flying capacitor C1, and the filter inductor L... fDuring freewheeling, the first power switch S1, the fourth power switch S4, and the fifth power switch S5 are turned on. Considering the switching states in stages I and II, and to reduce the frequency of switching operations without affecting normal operation, the fourth power switch S4 is kept constantly on in interval III.

[0077] Interval IV: At this time, the grid-connected current i g In the negative direction, the grid voltage v g In the positive direction, the grid generates power. During the energy transfer phase, according to principle 1, the grid directly transfers energy to the photovoltaic cell PV, and the third power switch S3 is turned on; during the freewheeling phase, the photovoltaic cell PV charges the flying capacitor C1, and the filter inductor L... f During freewheeling, the first power switch S1, the fourth power switch S4, and the fifth power switch S5 are turned on. Considering the switching states of Stage I and Stage II, and to reduce the frequency of switching operations without affecting normal operation, the first power switch S1 and the fifth power switch S5 are kept constantly on within interval IV.

[0078] Based on the modulation method described above, the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter has four operating zones I-IV. Within each operating zone, two operating stages are switched by a switch: a power transmission stage and a freewheeling stage. This results in a total of eight operating modes M1-M8 for the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter, as detailed below:

The filter inductor L... f Discharge is achieved through the fourth power switch S4 and the fifth power switch S5.

[0085] M7 mode: such as Figure 9 As shown, when the photovoltaic grid-connected inverter is in M7 mode, the first power switch S1, the third power switch S3 and the fifth power switch S5 are turned on, while the second power switch S2 and the fourth power switch S4 are turned off, so that the grid can supply power to the DC source.

[0087] In summary, this photovoltaic grid-connected inverter, through the insertion of the fifth power switch S5 and the flying capacitor C1, decouples the DC source from the AC grid in freewheeling mode, maintaining the common-mode voltage constant to suppress leakage current.
