Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medium and high voltage variable frequency speed regulation, and more specifically, relates to a simplified capacitor voltage balance control strategy for a transformerless isolated unidirectional energy flow three-phase five-level medium and high voltage inverter. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, multilevel converters have been increasingly successfully applied in fields such as high voltage and high power variable frequency speed regulation, active power filtering, high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, and reactive power compensation in power systems. The basic circuit topologies of multilevel converters can be roughly divided into two categories: clamped type and cascaded cell type. Currently, the most widely used unidirectional energy flow diode clamped three-level medium and high voltage inverter in industry, as well as the unidirectional energy flow cascaded H-bridge medium and high voltage inverter, are typical representatives of these two types of products. In these two types of medium and high voltage inverters, no matter which type, in order to use low-voltage withstand power electronic devices to complete high-voltage power conversion and suppress the harmonics of the input current, a large-sized, complex-wired, and expensive industrial frequency phase-shifting transformer is required on the input side of the rectifier. This limits its application in many industrial scenarios. In order to eliminate the industrial frequency phase-shifting transformer, the academic and industrial communities have tried to use high-frequency isolation DC-DC converters to connect the cascaded rectifier stage and the cascaded inverter stage to form a new type of medium and high voltage inverter. Compared with traditional medium and high voltage inverters, the rectifier stage implementation scheme of this new type of medium and high voltage inverter eliminates the large-sized, complex-wired, and expensive industrial frequency phase-shifting transformer, thus effectively reducing the system volume, weight, and manufacturing cost. However, this new type of medium and high voltage inverter also has obvious disadvantages, mainly manifested in that it is very difficult to design and implement a high-power density and high-efficiency high-frequency isolation DC / DC converter, which has become the main bottleneck for this new type of medium and high voltage inverter to truly enter practical use. For this reason, in recent years, a new generation of medium and high voltage inverters with direct connection between the cascaded rectifier stage and the cascaded inverter stage has received increasing attention in the field of power electronics technology. Among them, a new generation of direct-connected medium and high voltage inverter composed of a Y-connected three single-phase diode cascaded Boost rectifier circuit + a three single-phase multilevel inverter circuit connected to the motor in an open winding is one of the typical solutions. This new type of topology neither requires industrial frequency transformer isolation nor high-frequency isolation DC conversion units, thus greatly reducing its volume, structure, cost, and control complexity, showing great practical advantages.

[0003] Although the direct-connected new generation medium-voltage frequency converter shows obvious advantages, there are still some problems that must be solved in practical engineering applications. For example, the DC-side capacitor voltage balance control of the five-level frequency converter is an inherent control difficulty of the five-level NPC converter. The imbalance of the DC-side capacitor voltage will not only cause the output waveform quality of the frequency converter to deteriorate, but also cause equipment damage, seriously affecting production safety. Most of the existing neutral point potential balance control methods for the five-level converter adopt independent control at the inverter stage. The disadvantage of such methods is that the harmonic content of the output voltage is relatively high. For the frequency converter, its rectifier stage still has the ability to control the DC-side capacitor voltage balance. Therefore, through the cooperation of the rectifier stage and the inverter stage, the DC-side capacitor voltage balance control can be achieved, and the output voltage waveform quality of the inverter stage can be guaranteed.
