Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a fault-tolerant dual active bridge converter based on half-bridge multiplexing and a control method, and belongs to the technical field of converters. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing popularity of new power systems, in high-latitude cold regions, continuous cold and warm cycles may accelerate the aging process of components, causing device failure problems. In addition, in the face of the geographical feature of serious unevenness of solar radiation in winter and summer, the periodic sharp fluctuations of power production will also have a negative impact on the frequency modulation characteristics of the power grid and the stability of the system. Using a bidirectional DC-DC converter as a key component connecting the photovoltaic DC bus and the energy storage system can maintain the stability of the power grid voltage and improve the power quality of the DC power grid.

[0003] The dual active bridge converter DAB is widely used in various fields due to its advantages of current isolation, soft switching, and output wide range voltage. In order to improve the reliability of the system, many experts and scholars have conducted in-depth research on system faults and fault tolerance of DAB. In actual application, when the drain-source voltage of MOSFET changes too fast, the equivalent parallel NPN junction will be forced to conduct, which will cause the MOSFET to be short-circuited. In addition, the loss of MOSFET drive voltage, the disconnection of signal lines or poor contact of connection ports, etc. will also cause the MOSFET to be open-circuit fault, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the system.

[0004] At present, for the medium and low voltage DC power distribution system containing the DAB converter, the fault current blocking module and the compensation capacitor branch are usually added in the system, and the current limiting inductor L c and the current limiting resistor R c, to slow down the capacitor discharge speed before the switch tube is blocked after the fault occurs and reduce the current peak value. During the fault duration, the system relies on the remaining power of the capacitor to provide short-term power supply for the load, reduces the impact of the voltage drop on the low-voltage side, and maximizes the impact of the inter-electrode short-circuit fault on the medium-voltage side. Since switch short-circuit fault usually causes switch damage, making the converter unable to operate normally, most existing researches on DAB converter short-circuit fault focus on fault ride-through of output short-circuit fault. Some researches deduce the transient expressions of internal current, output voltage and output current during the transient process of DAB converter under output short-circuit fault. The research proposes a method of connecting an inductor in series at the output end to reduce the overcurrent phenomenon and achieve short-circuit fault ride-through. This method can ensure that the circuit can run again after the fault is cleared, and provides a suitable value range for the inductor in series at the output end. In order to solve the problem of open-circuit fault OCSF, some documents propose to use redundancy technology to realize fault tolerance. There is also a scheme to add an additional redundant switch in the converter to ensure that the system can quickly recover to normal working state when open-circuit fault occurs. The fault switch can also be identified by the inductor current waveform and the change of the primary and secondary full-bridge output voltage waveform. This method can detect the position of the fault switch as soon as the fault impact occurs, the detection delay is short, and the OCSF can be detected quickly and the fault tolerance mode can be enabled immediately. The fault switch positioning method based on the information of the near-field magnetic field of the line can determine the position of the fault switch by observing the characteristics of a specific frequency through Fourier transform of the waveform containing magnetic field information. However, the accuracy of this method is affected by the position of the annular magnetic field probe, and Fourier analysis needs one cycle of time, so the detection delay is at least one cycle, and the system cannot switch to fault tolerance mode immediately after the fault occurs.

[0074] Mode one, in the time period [t0, t1], the switch tube Q2 is turned off before the gate drive signal of the switch tube Q1 arrives; due to the freewheeling effect of the inductor current, the reverse current discharges the parasitic capacitor of the body diode of the switch tube Q1, so that the voltage across the switch tube Q2 is clamped to zero; when the gate drive signal of the switch tube Q1 arrives, the switch tube Q1 is turned on at zero voltage; wherein the time t0 is the starting time of the turn-on of the switch tube Q1, the switch tube S1 and the switch tube S4, at this time, the complementary conduction switch tubes Q2, S2 and S3 are in the off state; the time t1 is the starting time of the turn-on of the switch tube S5 and the switch tube S8, at this time, the complementary conduction switch tubes S6 and S7 are in the off state; the complementary conduction switch states are opposite.

[0075] Mode two, in the time period [t1, t2], the switch tube S6 and the switch tube S7 are turned off; due to the freewheeling effect of the inductor current, the reverse current discharges the parasitic capacitor of the body diode of the switch tube S5 and S8, so that the voltage across the switch tube S5 and the switch tube S8 is clamped to zero; when the gate drive signal of the switch tube S1 and the switch tube S8 arrives at the time t1, the switch tube S5 and the switch tube S8 are turned on at zero voltage; the time t2 is the starting time of the turn-off of the switch tube Q1.

[0076] Mode three, in the time period [t2, t3], the switch tube Q1 is turned off, the reverse current discharges the parasitic capacitor of the body diode of the switch tube Q2, and the voltage across the switch tube Q2 is clamped to zero; when the gate drive signal of the switch tube Q2 arrives at the time t2, the switch tube Q2 is turned on at zero voltage; the time t3 is the starting time of the turn-off of the switch tube S1 and the switch tube S4.

[0077] In mode four, during the time interval [t3, t4], switches S1 and S4 are turned off, and the inductor current discharges the parasitic capacitance of the body diodes of switches S2 and S3, clamping the voltage across switches S2 and S3 to zero. When the gate drive signal for switches S2 and S3 arrives at time t4, switches S2 and S3 achieve zero-voltage turn-on. Time t4 is the starting time for switches S5 and S8 to turn off.

[0078] In mode 5, during the time interval [t4, t5], switches S5 and S8 are turned off to compensate for the parasitic capacitance of the body diodes of switches S6 and S7 caused by the inductor current, and the voltage across switches S6 and S7 is clamped to zero. At time t5, when the gate drive signal for switches S6 and S7 arrives, switches S6 and S7 achieve zero-voltage turn-on. Time t5 is the starting time for switches Q1, S1, and S4 to turn on again.

[0079] Furthermore, Figure 1 The outputs of the upper and lower conduction paths of the primary side full-bridge converter shown are transmitted via AC square waves, respectively, in the form of v priH and v priL This design, through its symmetrical structure, achieves more efficient power transmission and stability under open-circuit fault conditions. Simultaneously, the AC output square wave of the primary full-bridge is labeled as v. pri The secondary output square wave is denoted as v. secH v secL and v sec The converter employs a phase-shift control strategy, and its waveform under normal operating conditions is shown in the figure below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are five working modes, and the working process of each mode is analyzed as follows:

[0080] In mode one, the DC inductor L m current i Lm (t) is:

[0081]

[0082] In the formula, t represents time.

[0083] C 11 =C 12 , making C k =C 11 =C 12 V Ck C represents k The voltage across the two ends;

[0084] Since S1 / S4, S2 / S3, S5 / S8, S6 / S7 are always on / off simultaneously, the relationship between the primary side AC output upper and lower voltages can be expressed as:

[0085]

[0086] where v priL represents the primary side AC square wave lower voltage, v priH represents the primary side AC square wave upper voltage, v pri represents the primary side AC square wave, v secL represents the secondary side AC square wave lower voltage, v secH represents the secondary side AC square wave upper voltage, v sec represents the secondary side AC square wave;

[0087] The voltage between inductors L1 and L2 can be calculated as:

[0088]

[0089] where v L1 is the DC voltage across inductor L1, v L2 is the DC voltage across inductor L2;

[0090]

[0091] where i Lp1 is the inductor current on the primary side of the center tapped transformer, V2 is the voltage across load R L ; i Lp2 is the inductor current on the primary side of the center tapped transformer; i Lp1 (t0) is the initial inductor current at time t0, L Lp2 (t0) is the initial inductor current at time t0, L k is the inductance of L1 and L2,

[0092] L k = L1 = L2.

[0093] In mode two,

[0094]

[0095] In mode three,

[0096]

[0097] In mode four,

[0098] i Lm (t) = i Lm (t3),

[0099]

[0100] In the fifth mode,

[0101] i Lm (t) = i Lm (t3),

[0102]

[0103] From the above, the inductance current i Lp1 and i Lp2 at the time t0 and t2 can be calculated as follows:

[0104]

[0105] i L1 = i Lp1 - i Lp2 = 0.

[0106] Where k is the input-output voltage ratio of the transformer, f s is the switching frequency, D is the duty ratio of the switch Q1 and Q2, d D is the phase shift ratio of the switch S1 and S5, and i L1 is the current of the intermediate tap of the transformer.

[0107] This shows that the upper inductance current i Lp1 and the lower inductance current i Lp2 are always equal.

[0108] In this embodiment, when the switch fails in the transformer, if the fault is in the primary side S3 / S4 switch, this case is called fault case 2, the structure diagram is shown in Figure 9 , and the circuit waveform diagram is shown in Figure 10 .

[0109] The gate signals of S3 and S4 are disabled to block the faulty device. After that, the conduction path of the inductance current is naturally switched to S1, S2 and the midpoint path, while the faulty switch S3 is completely passed through. Due to the change of the conduction path, the auxiliary inductance L2 and half of the transformer winding are disabled. At the same time, the secondary side operating conditions remain unchanged.

[0110] According to Kirchhoff's voltage law, the voltage condition of the conduction path of the circuit in fault-tolerant operation mode 2 is written as:

[0111] v L1 + n v secL - v priH = 0.

[0112] The relationship between the upper and lower voltages of the primary alternating current output can be expressed as:

[0113]

[0114] The voltage across the auxiliary inductor L1 can be calculated as follows:

[0115]

[0116] The alternating voltage V at different time intervals pri and secondary AC voltage v sec The amplitude of the inductor current i can be obtained from the value of the inductor current i. Lp2 :

[0117]

[0118] At the same time, due to the inductor current i L2 Due to symmetry, the inductor current i at times t0 and t2 is obtained by recalculation. Lp1 and i Lp2 The expression:

[0119]

[0120] It can be seen that the primary side AC voltage v priL The amplitude is only half that of mode one. Because the secondary side maintains four switches on, v sec The amplitude remains the same as V2. Furthermore, the inductor voltage v in mode two... L1 and primary inductor current i Lp1 The normal operating conditions are the same as those in the modal mode, while the midpoint branch i L1 Increment from 0 to the same i Lp1 This indicates that the primary inductor current remains constant under fault-tolerant mode two operating conditions. This is consistent with the constant primary inductor current i. L1 Unlike other transformers, the secondary inductor current i in mode two is smaller due to the smaller number of turns. Ls1 It is significantly lower than mode one.

[0121] When an open-circuit fault occurs on a secondary switch such as S5, the condition of a fault in the secondary-side switch transistor is defined as fault condition 3. Fault condition 3 can isolate and maintain power transmission capability. Fault condition 3 is an OCF fault in the secondary-side switch transistor, and its circuit diagram is as follows. Figure 11 As shown, the waveform is as follows Figure 12 As shown.

[0122] Case 3 is similar to Case 2, but the gate signals of S5 and S6 are disabled to isolate the faulty component S5. Then, the midpoint redundancy circuit operates naturally, and the secondary side's operating state shifts from a full-bridge to a half-bridge. Simultaneously, the primary side of the DAB converter continues to operate normally. Similarly, based on the above analysis, the inductor current i... L1 and i L2 Due to its symmetry, the inductor current i at times t0 and t2 can be calculated.Lp1 and i Lp2 The expression is:

[0123]

[0124] According to the analysis of the inductor current, the RMS value of the inductor current in the primary and secondary sides in the normal operating condition can be expressed as:

[0125]

[0126]

[0127] where I RMS1 and I RMS2 are the RMS currents of the primary and secondary sides.

[0128] Therefore, the expression of the transmission power in the normal operating condition can be calculated as:

[0129]

[0130] According to the previous analysis, the steady-state performance of the proposed fault-tolerant half-bridge multiplexed DAB converter can be controlled by the phase shift. If one of the switches has an open-circuit fault, the normal operation will be disturbed. The ocf on the semiconductor switch will generate a large current stress and a DC bias current.

[0131] Similarly, the inductor current and transmission power in fault conditions two and three can be calculated as follows:

[0132]

[0133] In the formula, case 1 is the normal operating condition.

[0134] The transmission power analysis of the fault-tolerant half-bridge multiplexed DAB converter can also be integrated as:

[0135]

[0136] The mathematical expression of the primary inductor current effective value I RMS1 is the same in the fault condition and the normal condition. Therefore, under the same phase shift condition, I RMS1 in different operating conditions is a constant value. This also proves that the primary effective value current is not affected by different operating modes. Based on the normal operating condition 1, I RMS2 in fault condition 3 is obviously greater than condition 1, which is twice the normal operating condition. On the contrary, fault condition 2 can ensure the same or lower I RMS2The transmission power of normal case 1 is equal to that of fault case 3, and the transmission power of fault case 2 is only half of that in the normal working case.

[0137] Experimental verification:

[0138] Based on the above analysis, the fault-tolerant half-bridge multiplexing DAB converter of the application is comprehensively simulated and verified to evaluate its performance and fault tolerance under various working conditions. During the simulation, a series of different working conditions are set, including normal operation state, open circuit fault (OCF) state under each mode, to test the response and performance of the fault-tolerant converter under these conditions. The selection of simulation parameters is shown in Table 1, and the parameters are set according to the expected indicators to follow the typical working conditions in actual applications, to ensure the reliability and referenceability of the simulation results.

[0139] Table 1 Simulation experiment parameters

[0140]

[0141] Based on the parameters in Table 1, a simulation circuit is built, which details the actual design of the fault-tolerant half-bridge multiplexing DAB converter, including the connection mode of each inductor, capacitor and switch, and the implementation of the control strategy. During the simulation, the performance of the circuit in the normal working mode is first tested. Then, the fault tolerance of the circuit is verified one by one for different open circuit fault modes.

[0142] The experimental waveforms under each mode are shown in Figures 13-15 Under fault-tolerant operation mode, although the rated power is reduced, the current stress and conduction loss on the secondary side are significantly reduced, which is of great significance to prolong the service life of the equipment and improve the reliability of the system. It can be seen that the input and output voltages under each mode can be stably output according to the expected requirements, without obvious fluctuations or deviations, proving the reliability and stability of the circuit. The inductor current waveform is highly consistent with the theoretical analysis results, indicating that the circuit design is reasonable, and the switch tube can realize zero voltage switching (ZVS) under various modes, effectively reducing the switching loss and improving the efficiency and performance of the circuit.

[0143] The above simulation verification results not only fully demonstrate the fault tolerance of the half-bridge multiplexing fault-tolerant DAB converter proposed in the application under various fault conditions, but also show that the circuit can maintain stable power transmission under various working conditions. In addition, the simulation verification also shows the current distribution and voltage waveform variation law under different fault conditions, proving that the application has stable and reliable performance. The application can still have stable output under wide range of voltage input and partial device fault conditions, can maintain stable grid voltage and improve the power quality of the direct current grid. It has wide application prospects in the field of photovoltaic power generation in high-latitude cold regions.
