Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of power conversion, in particular to an isolated DC-DC converter for self-collecting energy from an auxiliary power source. Background Art

[0002] Compared with connecting to low-voltage AC systems, low-voltage, high-power power sources, loads, energy storage, etc. can be directly connected to medium- and high-voltage DC grids through converters to achieve higher efficiency, reliability, controllability, and lower costs. Traditional DC systems are mostly voltage bus (DC Voltage Bus, DVB) systems, such as Figure 1a As shown. When the low-voltage DC (LVDC) bus is connected to the medium-voltage or high-voltage DVB (MV / HV-DVB), the DC-DC converter needs to withstand higher voltage stress. Due to the voltage level limitation of power devices, a modular structure is usually required, which increases the volume and cost. If multiple low-voltage converters are connected in series, it is difficult to achieve power decoupling control of the LVDC ports of each converter because the total voltage on the series side is fixed to the bus voltage. Therefore, this multi-port system based on DVB usually requires a complex decoupling algorithm and is generally only used in situations where the port power difference is not large. Current source converters (CSC) are widely used due to their reliable short-circuit protection, low output EMI, and wide range of DC voltage. The DC side of several current source converters connected in series with a DC inductor can form a DC current bus (DCB) system, which provides a new solution for low-voltage equipment to access high-voltage systems. In medium and high-voltage DCB (MV / HV-DCB) systems such as Figure 1b As shown in the figure, each low-voltage converter does not have to bear high voltage stress after being connected in series to the DCB. Moreover, since the converter port voltage on one side of the DCB is not limited by the bus voltage, the power of each converter can be adjusted independently. Therefore, the HV-DCB system has obvious advantages in situations where multiple low-voltage devices need to be connected to the high-voltage system. In recent years, the DCB coupling method has received more and more attention. For example, the DC-link (voltage bus) of the offshore wind power converter is connected in series to the public current loop (i.e., DCB) through an isolated DC-DC, eliminating the need for a large power frequency transformer and converter station. In the power supply system of the Haiti observation network, the onshore power system is connected in series with the isolated DC-DC converters of each observation point through the DCB to power the equipment at each observation point. Some scholars have also proposed a multi-port power electronic transformer based on DCB to realize energy interaction between multiple LVDC ports and the medium-voltage power grid.

[0003] Most LVDC buses are DVB, so the DC-DC converter between the LVDC bus and the MV / HV-DCB must be able to connect to a voltage source and a current source. In addition, the port voltage on one side of the DCB is required to be able to change significantly from 0 upwards, so that the power can be adjusted from 0 upwards. If energy is required to flow in both directions, the voltage polarity on the DCB side of the converter is also required to be able to flip. Isolated DC-DC converters with DC voltage sources on both sides, such as traditional dual active bridges (DAB) and LLC / CLLC resonant converters, usually find it difficult to meet such requirements. Such a DC-DC converter with a voltage source (VS) connected to one end and a current source (CS) connected to the other end is sometimes called a hybrid DC-DC converter (H-DCC).

[0004] The isolated bidirectional H-DCC connected to the DCB system should have a reverse-resistance bridge arm on the CS side to meet the requirements of DCB unipolar current characteristics and bidirectional power transmission. The reverse-resistance bridge arm is either directly composed of a reverse-resistance switch, or a reverse-conducting switch connected in series with a diode, or two reverse-conducting switches connected in reverse series. This type of bidirectional H-DCC can achieve power reversal by changing the polarity of the average DC voltage on the CS side while keeping the polarity of the DC current on the CS side unchanged. The isolated full-bridge H-DCC is a typical bidirectional isolated H-DCC topology, such as Figure 2 As shown. Sometimes it is also called Hybrid Dual Active Bridge (H-DAB). Under appropriate modulation methods, the CS side switch of H-DAB can achieve zero current shutdown, and the VS side switch can achieve zero voltage turn-on, see the literature "A DC-current-bus-coupled multi-port power electronic transformer and its control strategy," in Proc. IEEE Int. Power Electron. Appl. Symp. (PEAS), 2021, Le Sun, Xiaoqiang. Guo, Yong Han, etc.

[0005] However, if Figure 2 The hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit shown faces two important issues in the DCB system:

[0006] First, the bridge arm of the H-bridge on the CS side may be subjected to a high voltage spike during the switching process, which is mainly caused by the oscillation between the equivalent capacitance of the bridge arm and the leakage inductance of the transformer. In order to solve this problem, three methods can usually be adopted. The first is to use energy-consuming absorption circuits such as RC or RCD, but this will cause great losses. The second is to use special modulation and control methods to avoid oscillation. Although such methods are used in circuits such as matrix converters, they are usually not applicable to the hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit shown in Figure 3. The third is to use a regenerative clamping circuit, that is, a clamping circuit is formed by a diode and a clamping capacitor, and the absorbed voltage spike energy is fed back to the VS side port through an isolated converter. This method is more practical, such as the literature "Research on the voltage spike suppression strategy for three-phase high-frequency link matrix-type inverter," IEEE Journal of Emerging and SelectedTopics in Power Electronics, 2022, Youzheng Wang, Hongchen Liu, Wheeler, Patrick. That is, a regenerative clamping circuit is formed by an uncontrolled rectifier bridge + clamping capacitor + flyback circuit to suppress the voltage spike of the high-frequency link matrix inverter. However, this type of method requires additional hardware circuits, which undoubtedly increases cost and volume.

[0007] The second is that the control and drive circuits of the H-bridge on the CS side require an auxiliary power supply. Due to the different potentials of the HV-DCB and LVDC systems, the auxiliary power supply on the current source side of the hybrid isolated DC-DC converter and the auxiliary power supply on the voltage source side require electrical isolation at a higher insulation level. For ordinary isolated DC-DC converters with DC capacitors on both sides, the power of the auxiliary power supplies on both sides can be taken from their respective DC capacitors. For hybrid isolated DC-DC converters, only the input power of the auxiliary power supply on the voltage source side can be directly taken from the DC capacitor, while the current source side lacks energy storage capacitors, so it can only add a conversion link with high voltage isolation capability to provide input power for the APS on the current source side, which will increase the cost of the converter.

[0008] In addition, when there is no power supply on the voltage source side, all auxiliary power supplies cannot work, and the switch of the reverse resistance bridge arm on the current source side is in the off state, which causes the entire DCB to be in a blocked state. This means that not only the hybrid isolated DC-DC converter with no power supply on the voltage source side port cannot be started, but also all converters along the DCB cannot work properly.

[0009] Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively solve the voltage spike suppression of the H-bridge on the CS side, the auxiliary power supply power supply, and the startup problem under passive conditions on the voltage source side. Summary of the invention

[0090] The specific method is: a controllable external power source 21 (such as Figure 3a , 3b 3c) works in the voltage source mode, gradually increases the voltage of the main converter current port 1, so that the voltage uax of the clamping capacitor 17 reaches the input voltage threshold U that can start the current source side auxiliary power supply 19 thcs As a result, the auxiliary power supply 19 on the current source side is started, and supplies power to the control and drive circuit 18 on the current source side, so that they start to work.

[0101] In order to further illustrate the beneficial effects of the present invention, two specific application scenarios are described below.

[0102] Application scenario 1

[0103] Application scenario 1 is a series-connected offshore wind power system with offshore service functions, such as Figure 5 As shown. In the traditional offshore wind power DC transmission mode, the electric energy generated by each wind turbine is generally collected by AC and boosted by industrial frequency, and then sent to the high-voltage DC bus through a unified rectification, and then sent to the onshore converter station through the high-voltage DC transmission line. In the series offshore wind power system, the electric energy generated by each wind turbine is converted to low-voltage DC through a high-frequency isolated DC-DC circuit converter, and then connected in series to the high-voltage current bus. This can save the huge offshore converter station. In the series offshore wind power system, the high-frequency isolated DC-DC circuit usually has a unidirectional energy flow, but with the development of offshore wind power systems, the use of offshore wind farms to provide more diversified offshore services has attracted increasing attention. These diversified services include the configuration of 5G base stations, marine environment monitoring systems, ship charging piles, inspection drone charging piles, seawater hydrogen production, etc. near offshore wind power towers and their vicinity. This means that there may be more local loads in wind farms in the future. These local loads require reliable power supply, but due to the intermittent nature of wind power, it is difficult to ensure the reliable operation of local loads by relying solely on wind turbines to generate electricity. Therefore, in the series-connected offshore wind power system with offshore service function, the high-frequency isolated DC-DC circuit must have bidirectional energy flow and the ability to feed in a mixed current source and voltage source. Figure 2 The hybrid isolated DC-DC converter shown. However, on the one hand, the hybrid isolated DC-DC converter has the problem of voltage spikes on the reverse resistance H-bridge on the current source side. On the other hand, if the auxiliary power supply of the reverse resistance H-bridge relies on a special isolation conversion link to obtain energy from the voltage source side, it not only increases the hardware cost, but also cannot realize the power-on of the auxiliary power supply when the wind turbine is not generating electricity, thus causing the problem of difficulty in starting. The novel hybrid isolated DC-DC converter proposed in the present invention combines the regenerative clamping circuit with the auxiliary power supply system, and innovatively adjusts the connection relationship between the clamping diode and the H-bridge on the current source side, and introduces a diode conduction path from the current bus to the clamping capacitor, thereby solving the problems of voltage spike suppression, auxiliary power supply power supply on the current source side, and auxiliary power supply starting under passive conditions on the voltage source side. According to the circuit and starting strategy proposed in the present invention, even if the wind turbine is not working, the auxiliary power supplies are all powered on, and the current output by the onshore converter station can also pass through the following Figure 5The path shown by the middle dotted line is through the series diode of the first bridge arm of the reverse resistance H-bridge, the first diode of the clamping diode circuit, the clamping capacitor, the second diode of the clamping diode circuit, and the series diode of the second bridge arm of the reverse resistance H-bridge, so as to charge the clamping capacitor and start the auxiliary power supply on the CS side.

[0104] Application scenario 2

[0105] Application scenario 2 is the series-type submarine observation network power supply system, such as Figure 6 As shown. Compared with the traditional offline, short-term, non-real-time ocean observation methods based on ships, drilling, submersibles, etc., the cable-based seabed observation network can conduct real-time and continuous seabed observations, which is of great significance for geological exploration, earthquake monitoring, marine scientific research, ecological and environmental protection, and national defense security. In the cable-based seabed observation network, submarine power transmission technology is very important for the normal and reliable operation of observation equipment. According to the type of shore-based converter, submarine power transmission technology can be divided into two categories: constant voltage transmission and constant current electric shock. Among them, the constant current power supply system has a strong ability to resist short-circuit faults, and the converter voltage ratio of each submarine branch unit is not high, so it only needs to withstand lower voltage stress and is easy to achieve control decoupling. Therefore, it has more advantages in scenarios with high reliability requirements.

[0106] The branch units of traditional constant current power supply systems often use push-pull circuits as constant current / constant voltage power conversion, but the push-pull circuit has high switch stress and bias magnetic problems. The hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit shown in Figure 3 can overcome its shortcomings. In the future submarine observation network, energy storage and even wave power generation devices may be added to the observation nodes as backup power supplies. The use of a hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit with bidirectional energy flow can better realize the interconnection and mutual assistance of electric energy at each observation point and realize off-grid operation without shore-based power supply. However, as mentioned above, the hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit shown in Figure 3 has problems such as voltage spikes on the H-bridge on the current source side, auxiliary power supply, and system startup. To solve these problems, the constant current and constant voltage converter with integrated clamping and auxiliary power supply described in the present invention can be used. Its working principle and startup method are similar to those of application scenario 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0107] In summary, the present invention aims to overcome the above three types of deficiencies faced when the hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit is applied to the medium voltage DCB system, combines the regenerative clamping circuit and the auxiliary power supply system, and improves the circuit topology structure, while achieving effective suppression of voltage spikes, auxiliary power supply power supply on the current source side, and startup under passive conditions of the voltage source port.
