[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1, reference Figure 1-6 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a three-phase four-wire topology optimization method applied to an energy storage converter system, comprising:

[0035] It should be said that there are currently two main solutions for three-phase four-wire converter topology. The first solution is Figure 2 The three-phase three-bridge midpoint lead-out three-phase four-wire topology shown in the figure, in this topology, the midpoint of the DC side capacitor of the converter is connected to the AC point N after being led out, as the AC side output N line, the disadvantage of the scheme is that in order to adapt to the unbalanced load application conditions, the selection range of the modulation algorithm is small, and the DC bus voltage utilization rate is low. Because a large current flows through the N line, the ability of the DC capacitor to withstand ripple current is put to a greater test. At the same time, the AC and DC side parallel operation control method of the converter is relatively complicated. The second scheme is as follows Figure 3 The three-phase four-bridge midpoint shown in the figure leads to a three-phase four-wire topology. This solution adds an N-wire input bridge arm. The disadvantage is that the increase in the number of components leads to increased costs and increased system control complexity. For the current fiercely competitive market, the advantages are not obvious.

[0036] S1: Connect the converter to the energy storage battery system and perform the structural topology.

[0037] Furthermore, the energy storage battery system and its converter system, and the power connection between the energy storage battery and the converter. Figure 4 As shown, the AC side output of the converter is a three-phase four-wire system. When the converter is connected to the grid, the AC side is connected to the grid. When the converter is off-grid, the AC side is connected to the load.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the DC side of the converter is connected to the energy storage system, the DC positive pole of the converter is connected to the positive pole of the energy storage system, the DC negative pole of the converter is connected to the negative pole of the energy storage system, and the DC midpoint output of the converter is connected to the midpoint of the energy storage battery system. The connection between the midpoint of the converter and the midpoint of the energy storage battery is the key point of this embodiment. After the midpoint of the energy storage battery and the DC midpoint of the converter are connected, they are led out as the AC N line. However, it may not be led out in special circumstances. The energy storage battery can be a different battery energy storage system such as a lithium-ion battery, a liquid flow battery, or a lead-acid battery. After the cells of the energy storage battery are connected in series, the number of cells in the upper and lower busbars is equal. In unconventional circumstances, the number of cells in the DC upper and lower busbars can also be configured with different numbers. The energy storage battery can be a cell directly connected in series, or an even number of battery packs can be used in series.

[0039] When the number of energy storage battery clusters in the system is greater than 1 or the number of converters is greater than 1, the midpoint connection between the converter and the energy storage battery can be connected to the DC midpoint of some battery clusters or to the DC midpoints of all battery clusters. It can be connected to the DC midpoint of some converters or to the DC midpoints of all converters, and can be flexibly configured according to the system application scenario.

[0040] The three-phase four-wire topology structure is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2 The difference between the conventional topology structures shown in the figure is that the midpoint of the energy storage battery system is brought out and connected to the DC midpoint of the converter. The advantage of connecting the two midpoints is that the existing three-phase three-wire topology converter can be transformed into a three-phase four-wire topology after adding and connecting the DC midpoint. The ripple current tolerance requirement for the converter DC bus capacitor is small, the DC midpoint is clamped by the DC midpoint of the battery system, the midpoint fluctuation is small, and the unbalanced load capacity is strong. At the same time, more refined balanced control of the battery cluster can be achieved, and the control algorithm can be selected from a wider range.

[0041] The conversion topology of the converter is other converter topologies in which the DC midpoint is led out and connected to the DC midpoint of the energy storage system, including but not limited to the three-level type, the T-type three-level, and the ANPC.

[0042] Figure 5 It is a change from the straight NPC to the ANPC topology. Figure 6 It is a change to T-type three-level. For this type of topology with DC midpoint lead-out, the conditions for connecting the DC midpoint of the converter to the DC side of the energy storage battery system are met.

[0043] S2: After the connection is completed, the battery cluster is balanced by adjusting the control algorithm.

[0044] Specifically, the control algorithm is adjusted to realize the charging and discharging strategies of different powers for the upper bus and the lower bus of the energy storage battery system, thereby subdividing the balancing control of the battery cluster into 0.5 cluster control.

[0045] On the other hand, this embodiment also provides a three-phase four-wire topology optimization system applied to an energy storage converter system, which includes:

[0046] The topology unit connects the converter to the energy storage battery system and performs structural topology.

[0047] After the control unit is connected, it can adjust the control algorithm to balance the battery cluster.
