Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of converters, and in particular to a circuit topology of a three-phase energy storage converter. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of switching power supply technology, the frequency of high-power switching power supplies in the market is increasing, and energy storage converter power supplies are one of the new energy sources in the market. In recent years, the power of energy storage power supplies has become increasingly larger. In modern high-power power supply applications, the input voltage usually uses three-phase AC input, and then after three-phase Vienna PFC topology rectification, the subsequent LLC circuit performs DC-DC conversion to obtain the required DC output voltage.
[0003] In applications such as energy storage inverters, off-grid inverters, and grid-connected and off-grid inverters, inverter links such as inverter H-bridge circuits are generally used, and the MPPT part of the Boost boost circuit to the busbar is implemented. The achievable working modes can be solar energy or city power charging the battery, solar energy inverter grid-connected or off-grid output, battery inverter grid-connected or off-grid output, etc. In some low-cost module applications, LLC is usually used for bidirectional conversion to meet the inverter function; the performance of this LLC+H-bridge circuit mode is good, but the cost will be relatively high; there are also solutions that use a separate half-bridge LLC or full-bridge LLC to achieve inversion. This mode can also achieve related inversion conversion, but the voltage inverted by LLC is not stable enough, resulting in a certain voltage fluctuation in the output voltage, which does not meet the requirements on some instruments and equipment that require high precision. For charging, output paralleling, grid-connected applications, etc. within the battery voltage range, there are great restrictions on the performance of the inverter, and it is easy to have various protections or even damage.

[0031] Working principle:
[0032] When working in the forward direction (three-phase power input, output to charge the battery)
[0033] The three-phase voltage ABC at the input end is boosted through a three-phase six-switch circuit structure. The phases of each phase are staggered by 120°, and the boost is completed to store energy in large capacitors C1, C3, C4 and C5.
[0034] Q108 and Q128, Q109 and Q129 are complementary switches.
[0035] When Q108 is on, Q128 is off; when Q109 is on, Q129 is off. Inductor L1 stores energy through Q108, and inductor L2 stores energy through Q129. During this period, transformers T1 and T2, as well as capacitors C15, C446, C17, and C18 are reset.
[0036] When Q108 is turned off, Q128 is turned on, and the energy of inductor L1 is transferred to the battery side through capacitors C15, C446 and transformer T1.
[0037] When Q109 is turned off, Q129 is turned on, and the energy of inductor L2 is transferred to the battery side through capacitors C17, C18 and transformer T2.
[0038] When working in reverse direction (the battery is discharged at the output end, and the three-phase level is output at the forward input three-phase port)
[0039] When Q128 is turned on, Q108 is turned off, and the battery energy is transferred to the bus side through C446, C15 and L1, and L1 stores energy.
[0040] When Q129 is turned on, Q109 is turned off, and the battery energy is transferred to the bus side through C17, C18 and L2, and L2 stores energy.
[0041] When Q128 is turned off, Q108 is turned on, inductor L1 continues to flow, energy is released to the bus side, and C446, C15 and T1 are reset.
[0042] When Q129 is turned off, Q109 is turned on, the inductor L2 continues to flow, the energy is released to the bus side, and C17, C18 and T2 are reset.
[0043] During this period, the energy from the secondary is stored in the large capacitors C1, C3, C4 and C5. The energy of the large capacitors is output to the terminals through control based on the three-phase six switches.
[0044] A three-phase electric energy storage converter circuit is used to replace the single-stage LLC or LLC+H bridge circuit application, which can achieve stable bus voltage control and meet the performance requirements of various energy storage converters. In particular, the use of a single-stage circuit to replace the bridge circuit and the use of high-voltage silicon carbide devices can achieve better reliability and higher efficiency, reduce costs, reduce volume, simplify circuit structure and software control, etc.
