Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of power electronics and energy storage control technology, and in particular to a control period determination method and a modulation method for a modular cascade battery energy storage system. Background Art

[0002] Modular converter technology can achieve efficient high-voltage and large-capacity power conversion and is widely used in motor drive, grid reactive power compensation, DC transmission, medium-voltage direct-mounted energy storage and other fields. Cascaded H-bridge and modular multi-level are two typical modular converter technologies. Modulation technology converts the modulation wave output by the control algorithm into switching instructions for the converter power devices, which directly affects the efficiency and response speed of the converter and is one of the core technologies of modular converters.

[0003] With the large-scale application of battery energy storage in independent energy storage of power grids and new energy stations, the demand for indicators such as efficiency, single-unit capacity and dynamic response speed is getting higher and higher. Therefore, battery energy storage systems based on modular converter technology have received more and more attention and application. In order to obtain better output voltage and current harmonic characteristics, the modular battery energy storage system requires a large number of modules per phase, usually no less than 8 for 6kV systems, no less than 12 for 10kV systems, and no less than 40 for 35kV systems.

[0004] Balanced control of batteries is an essential function of battery energy storage systems. The modulation technology of modular converters directly affects the implementation method of balanced control of modular battery energy storage systems. The modulation technologies for modular converters mainly include carrier stacked PWM modulation (LS-PWM), carrier phase shifted PWM modulation (PS-PWM) and nearest level modulation. Carrier stacked PWM modulation will cause unbalanced power distribution between modules, which requires carrier rotation between different modules, which is more complicated. Nearest level modulation is mainly used in situations where the number of modules per phase ranges from dozens to hundreds, such as high-voltage flexible direct current transmission. In high-voltage flexible direct current transmission, the capacitor voltage of each module is kept basically equal through capacitor voltage balance control. The number of modules to be put into use is determined according to the ratio of modulation voltage to capacitor voltage.

[0005] The common advantages of carrier stacking PWM modulation and carrier phase shift PWM modulation are high equivalent switching frequency and good output voltage and current waveforms. They can obtain excellent output voltage and current waveforms when the number of sub-modules is not small, the output filtering pressure is small, and it is easy to meet the relevant requirements of the grid connection standard.

[0006] The basic carrier stacking PWM modulation uses a triangular carrier with different amplitude average values ​​but the same waveform to compare with the modulation wave to generate the switching signal of the corresponding module power device. This leads to inconsistent conduction time of each module power device within an industrial frequency cycle, resulting in unbalanced power distribution between modules and inconsistent heat generation of module power devices. To overcome the above problems, it is necessary to rotate the carrier between different modules, which is more complicated to implement. In addition, if module battery balancing is to be achieved, the differences between the batteries of each module need to be considered when rotating the carrier. There are many influencing factors and they are coupled with each other, making the control more complicated.

[0007] The number of triangular carrier waves required for carrier stacking PWM modulation is the same as the number of modules. The basic carrier stacking PWM modulation uses a triangular carrier wave with equal amplitude and phase division to compare with the modulation wave to generate the switching signal of the module power device. Therefore, the on-time of each module power device during operation is exactly the same, and the power and heat generation of each module are consistent. If you want to achieve module battery balancing, adjust the carrier size corresponding to each module to change the on-time of each module power device, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the module power. Battery balancing control has few influencing factors and is simple to implement.

[0008] The number of triangular carriers required for carrier phase-shift PWM modulation is also consistent with the number of modules. Therefore, in situations where the battery energy storage system has a high voltage level and a large number of modules, the requirements for control resources are high. In situations where the number of modules is large, the quality of the output voltage and current waveforms can also be easily met through the nearest level modulation, and its equivalent switching frequency is higher than the nearest level modulation in terms of loss.

[0009] Recently, level modulation has the advantages of better output waveform quality and lower switching loss in situations where the number of modules per phase ranges from dozens to hundreds. It is widely used in situations where a large number of modules are required to achieve high-voltage flexible DC transmission and in high-voltage dynamic reactive generators. In view of the differences in parameters and losses between different modules, in order to maintain the capacitor voltage balance of each module, a capacitor voltage sorting algorithm is generally used. Under the premise of ensuring that the total number of modules invested remains unchanged, the modules are selectively switched according to the direction of the current. The balance of capacitor voltage can be completed on a time scale of 10ms, so at the power control level, it can be considered that the capacitor voltage of each module is always the same, that is, equal to the average voltage. At this time, the number of modules invested can be calculated based on the ratio of the modulation voltage to the average capacitor voltage.

[0010] However, even if the number of modules is large, the above-mentioned level modulation cannot be directly applied to modular battery energy storage systems. The reasons are:

[0011] 1) The energy of the DC side battery in the modular battery energy storage system is much greater than the capacitor on the DC side of the flexible DC transmission system and the dynamic reactive generator module. The battery voltage will not change significantly within a time scale of several minutes or even tens of minutes. When the module batteries of the modular battery energy storage system are unbalanced, the voltages of the modules will be quite different. Directly using the average voltage of the module batteries to calculate the number of modules that need to be invested will cause large errors and affect the output voltage and current quality.

[0012] 2) The selection of control frequency during the nearest level modulation is related to the DC side voltage of the module. For modular battery energy storage systems, the DC side voltages of each module are different. Selecting the control frequency based on the average voltage of the module battery cannot fully utilize the advantages of the multi-level topology. Summary of the invention
