Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power conversion, and in particular to an isolated DC-DC converter with self-powered auxiliary power supply. Background Technology
[0002] Compared to connecting to low-voltage AC systems, directly connecting low-voltage, high-power power sources, loads, and energy storage to medium- and high-voltage DC grids via converters can achieve higher efficiency, reliability, controllability, and lower costs. Traditional DC systems are mostly DC Voltage Bus (DVB) systems, such as... Figure 1a As shown. When a low-voltage DC (LVDC) bus is connected to a medium-voltage or high-voltage DVB (MV / HV-DVB), the DC-DC converter needs to withstand high voltage stress. Due to the voltage level limitations of power devices, a modular structure is usually required, which increases size 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, such multi-port systems based on DVB usually require complex decoupling algorithms and are generally only used in situations where the port power difference is not significant. Current source converters (CSCs) are widely used due to their reliable short-circuit protection, low output EMI, and wide range of DC voltage. Several current source converters connected in series with a DC inductor on the DC side can form a DC current bus (DCB) system, which provides a new solution for connecting low-voltage equipment to high-voltage systems. In medium- and high-voltage DCB (MV / HV-DCB) systems, such as... Figure 1b As shown, after each low-voltage converter is connected in series to the DCB, it does not need to withstand high voltage stress. Furthermore, since the converter port voltage on the DCB side is not limited by the bus voltage, the power of each converter can be independently adjusted. Therefore, the HV-DCB system has significant advantages in situations requiring multiple low-voltage devices to be connected to a high-voltage system. In recent years, DCB coupling methods have received increasing attention. For example, in offshore wind power converters, the DC-link (voltage bus) is connected in series to a common current loop (i.e., DCB) via an isolated DC-DC converter, eliminating the need for a large power frequency transformer and converter station. In the power supply system of the seaborne observation network, the onshore power system is connected in series to the isolated DC-DC converters at each observation point via the DCB to power the equipment at each observation point. Some scholars have also proposed multi-port power electronic transformers based on DCB to realize energy interaction between multiple LVDC ports and the medium-voltage grid.
[0003] Most LVDC buses are DVBs, so the DC-DC converter between LVDC bus and MV / HV-DCB should have the ability to connect voltage source and current source. Moreover, the port voltage on the DCB side is required to change greatly from 0 upwards, so that the power can be adjusted from 0 upwards. If bidirectional energy flow is required, the voltage polarity on the DCB side of the converter is also required to be reversed. Isolated DC-DC converters with DC voltage sources on both sides, such as traditional dual active bridge (DAB) and LLC / CLLC resonant converters, usually cannot meet such requirements. Thus, the DC-DC converter with one end connected to voltage source (VS) and the other end connected to current source (CS) is sometimes called hybrid DC-DC converter (H-DCC).
[0004] The isolated bidirectional H-DCC accessing the DCB system should have a reverse blocking bridge arm on the CS side to meet the requirements of DCB unipolar current characteristics and bidirectional power transmission. The reverse blocking bridge arm is either directly composed of reverse blocking switches, or composed of reverse conducting switches in series with diodes, or composed of two reverse conducting switches in anti-series. This kind of bidirectional H-DCC can realize power reversal by changing the polarity of the average DC voltage on the CS side without changing the polarity of the DC current on the CS side. The isolated full-bridge H-DCC is a typical bidirectional isolated H-DCC topology, as shown in Figure 2 It is sometimes called hybrid dual active bridge (H-DAB). Under appropriate modulation methods, the switches on the CS side of the H-DAB can achieve zero-current turn-off, and the switches on the VS side can achieve zero-voltage turn-on, see "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, et al.
[0005] However, the hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit as shown in Figure 2 faces two important problems in the DCB system:
[0006] First, the bridge arm of the CS side H-bridge may suffer from high voltage spikes during switching, which is mainly caused by the oscillation between the equivalent capacitance of the bridge arm and the leakage inductance of the transformer. To solve this problem, three methods can be generally taken, the first is to use RC or RCD and other energy dissipation type absorption circuits, but this will cause a lot of loss. The second is to use a special modulation and control method to avoid oscillation, which is often used in matrix converters and other circuits, but it is usually not suitable for the hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit shown in FIG. 3. The third is to use a regenerative clamp circuit, that is, a clamp circuit is formed by a diode and a clamp capacitor, and the energy of the absorbed voltage spikes is fed back to the VS side port through an isolated converter. This method is more practical, such as the document "Research on the voltage spike suppression strategy for three-phase high-frequency link matrix-type inverter," IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, 2022, Youzheng Wang, Hongchen Liu, Wheeler, Patrick. That is, a regenerative clamp circuit is formed by using a non-controlled rectifier bridge + clamp capacitor + flyback circuit to suppress the voltage spikes of the high-frequency link matrix inverter. But this kind of method needs to add extra hardware circuit, which undoubtedly increases the cost and volume.
[0007] Second, the control and drive circuit of the CS side H-bridge needs an auxiliary power supply. Because the HV-DCB and the LVDC system have different potentials, the current source side auxiliary power supply and the voltage source side auxiliary power supply of the hybrid isolated DC-DC converter need high insulation level electrical isolation. For ordinary isolated DC-DC converters with DC capacitors on both sides, the power of the auxiliary power supply on both sides can be taken from their respective DC capacitors. For hybrid isolated DC-DC converters, only the input power of the voltage source side auxiliary power supply can be directly taken from the DC capacitor, and the current source side lacks an energy storage capacitor, and only a conversion link with high voltage isolation capability can be added to provide input power for the current source side APS, which will increase the cost of the converter.
[0008] In addition, without a power supply on the voltage source side, all auxiliary power supplies cannot work, and the switching of the reverse blocking bridge arm on the current source side is in the off state, which results in the entire DCB being in a blocking state. This means not only that the hybrid isolated DC-DC converter without a power supply on the voltage source side cannot start, but also that all converters along the DCB line cannot work normally.
[0009] Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively solve the voltage peak suppression of the CS side H bridge, the auxiliary power supply power taking, and the starting problem under the passive condition of the voltage source side. SUMMARY

[0088] As shown in Figure 4 , a starting method for taking power from a current source port, comprising the following steps:
[0089] S1, control the voltage of the current source port to a certain small value;
[0090] The specific method is: the controllable external power supply 21 (such as shown in Figure 3a , 3b , 3c) connected to the current source port works in voltage source mode, gradually raises the voltage of the main converter current port 1, so that the voltage uax of the clamping capacitor 17 reaches the input voltage threshold value U thcs above, so that the current source side auxiliary power supply 19 starts to work, and supplies power to the current source side control and driving circuit 18, so that they start to work.

[0101] To further illustrate the beneficial effects of the present invention, two specific application scenarios are described below.
[0102] Application Scenario 1
[0103] Application scenario one is a series-connected offshore wind power system that also provides offshore services, such as Figure 5 As shown. In traditional offshore wind power DC transmission, the electricity generated by each wind turbine is generally collected via AC and boosted at power frequency before being rectified and sent to a high-voltage DC bus, and then transmitted to an onshore converter station via a high-voltage DC transmission line. In a series-connected offshore wind power system, the electricity generated by each wind turbine is converted to low-voltage DC by a high-frequency isolated DC-DC converter, and then connected in series to a high-voltage current bus. This eliminates the need for a large offshore converter station. In a series-connected offshore wind power system, the high-frequency isolated DC-DC circuit typically allows for unidirectional energy flow. However, with the development of offshore wind power systems, the provision of more diversified offshore services by offshore wind farms is attracting increasing attention. These diversified services include the deployment of 5G base stations near offshore wind turbine towers, marine environmental monitoring systems, ship charging piles, charging piles for inspection drones, and seawater hydrogen production. This means that future wind farms may experience a significant number of local loads. These local loads require reliable power supply, but due to the intermittent nature of wind power, relying solely on wind turbine generation is insufficient to guarantee the reliable operation of these local loads. Therefore, in series-connected offshore wind power systems with offshore service capabilities, the high-frequency isolated DC-DC circuit must be capable of bidirectional energy flow and have the ability to feed in both current and voltage sources. For example, using... Figure 2 The hybrid isolation DC-DC converter shown is problematic. Firstly, it suffers from voltage spikes in the H-bridge on the current source side. Secondly, if the auxiliary power supply of the H-bridge relies on a dedicated isolation conversion stage to draw power from the voltage source side, it not only increases hardware costs but also fails to power on the auxiliary power supply when the wind turbine is not generating electricity, leading to startup difficulties. This invention proposes a novel hybrid isolation DC-DC converter that combines a regenerative clamping circuit and an auxiliary power supply system. Furthermore, it innovatively adjusts the connection relationship between the clamping diode and the H-bridge on the current source side, introducing a diode conduction path from the current bus to the clamping capacitor. This effectively solves the problems of voltage spike suppression, power drawing from the auxiliary power supply on the current source side, and auxiliary power supply startup under passive voltage source conditions. According to the circuit and startup strategy proposed in this invention, even when the wind turbine is not operating, the auxiliary power supply is always powered on, and the current output from the onshore converter station can be transmitted through the circuit. Figure 5The path shown by the dashed line passes through the series diode of the first 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 arm of the reverse resistance H-bridge, thereby charging the clamping capacitor and starting the auxiliary power supply on the CS side.
[0104] Application Scenario 2
[0105] Application scenario two is a series-connected power supply system for seabed observation networks, such as... Figure 6 As shown. Compared to traditional offline, short-term, and non-real-time ocean observation methods based on ships, drilling, and deep-sea submersibles, cable-tethered seabed observation networks can conduct real-time and continuous seabed observations, which is of great significance for geological exploration, earthquake monitoring, marine scientific research, ecological environmental protection, and national defense security. In cable-tethered seabed observation networks, seabed power transmission technology is crucial for the normal and reliable operation of observation equipment. Based on the type of shore-based converter, seabed power transmission technology can be divided into two categories: constant voltage transmission and constant current transmission. The constant current power supply system has strong resistance to short-circuit faults, and the voltage transformation ratio of the converters in each seabed branch unit is not high, requiring only low voltage stress and easy decoupling in control. Therefore, it has a greater advantage in scenarios with high reliability requirements.
[0106] Traditional constant current power supply systems often use push-pull circuits for constant current / constant voltage power conversion in their branch units. However, push-pull circuits suffer from high switching stress and magnetic bias. The hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit shown in Figure 3 overcomes these drawbacks. Future seabed observation networks may also add energy storage or even wave power generation devices as backup power sources at observation nodes. Using a hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit with bidirectional energy flow can better achieve interconnection and mutual support of power at various observation points, enabling off-grid operation without shore-based power supply. However, as mentioned earlier, the hybrid isolated DC-DC circuit shown in Figure 3 faces challenges such as voltage spikes in the H-bridge on the current source side, auxiliary power supply, and system startup. To solve these problems, a constant current / constant voltage converter integrating clamping and auxiliary power supply as described in this invention can be used. Its working principle and startup method are similar to those in application scenario 1 and will not be repeated here.
[0107] In summary, this invention aims to overcome the three shortcomings mentioned above when hybrid isolated DC-DC circuits are applied to medium-voltage DCB systems. By combining regenerative clamping circuits and auxiliary power supply systems, and improving the circuit topology, it achieves effective suppression of voltage spikes, auxiliary power supply on the current source side, and startup under passive conditions at the voltage source port.
