Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of power electronics and energy storage control technology, specifically to a method for determining the control cycle and a modulation method for a modular cascaded battery energy storage system. Background Technology

[0002] Modular converter technology enables efficient high-voltage, high-capacity power conversion and is widely used in motor drives, grid reactive power compensation, DC transmission, and medium-voltage direct-connected energy storage. Cascaded H-bridges and modular multilevel converters are two typical modular converter technologies. Modulation technology converts the modulated wave output by the control algorithm into switching commands for the converter's power devices, directly affecting the converter's efficiency and response speed, and is one of the core technologies of modular converters.

[0003] With the large-scale application of battery energy storage in grid-connected energy storage and new energy power plants, the demands for indicators such as efficiency, single-unit capacity, and dynamic response speed are increasing. Therefore, battery energy storage systems based on modular converter technology are receiving increasing attention and application. To obtain better output voltage and current harmonic characteristics, modular battery energy storage systems require a large number of modules per phase; typically no fewer than 8 for 6kV systems, no fewer than 12 for 10kV systems, and no fewer than 40 for 35kV systems.

[0004] Battery balancing control is an essential function of battery energy storage systems. The modulation technology of modular converters directly affects the implementation method of balancing control in modular battery energy storage systems. Modulation technologies for modular converters mainly include stacked carrier PWM modulation (LS-PWM), phase-shifted carrier PWM modulation (PS-PWM), and nearest-level modulation. Stacked carrier PWM modulation can cause uneven power distribution between modules, requiring carrier rotation between different modules, which is relatively complex. Nearest-level modulation is mainly used in applications where the number of modules per phase ranges from tens to hundreds, such as high-voltage flexible DC transmission. In high-voltage flexible DC transmission, capacitor voltage balance control maintains the capacitor voltage of each module at approximately equal levels. The number of modules to be put into operation is determined based on the ratio of the modulation voltage to the capacitor voltage.

[0005] Both carrier-stacked PWM modulation and carrier phase-shifted PWM modulation share the advantage of a high equivalent switching frequency and good output voltage and current waveforms. They can achieve excellent output voltage and current waveforms even with a relatively large number of submodules, while requiring less output filtering and easily meeting the relevant requirements of grid connection standards.

[0006] Basic carrier-layered PWM modulation compares a triangular carrier wave with a modulating wave, but with different average amplitudes but identical waveforms, to generate switching signals for the corresponding module power devices. This results in inconsistent conduction times for each module's power devices within a single power frequency cycle, leading to uneven power distribution between modules and inconsistent heat generation. To overcome these problems, carrier rotation between different modules is required, which is quite complex. Furthermore, to achieve module battery balancing, the differences between the batteries in each module must be considered during carrier rotation, resulting in numerous influencing factors that are interconnected and further complicate control.

[0007] The number of triangular carriers required for carrier-stacking PWM modulation is consistent with the number of modules. Basic carrier-stacking PWM modulation uses triangular carriers of equal amplitude and phase to compare with the modulating wave, generating switching signals for the module power devices. Therefore, the conduction time of each module's power device is exactly the same during operation, and the power and heat generation of each module's power devices are consistent. To achieve module battery balancing, adjusting the carrier magnitude for each module changes the conduction time of each module's power devices, thus altering the module's 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 battery energy storage systems with high voltage levels and a large number of modules, the requirements for control resources are higher. In cases with a large number of modules, the output voltage and current waveform quality can be easily satisfied through nearest-nearest-level modulation, although its equivalent switching frequency is higher and its losses are higher than those of nearest-nearest-level modulation.

[0009] Recently, level modulation has advantages in output waveform quality and low switching losses in applications with tens to hundreds of modules per phase. It is widely used in applications requiring a large number of modules to achieve high-voltage flexible DC transmission and in high-voltage dynamic reactive power generators. Given the differences in parameters and losses between different modules, a capacitor voltage sorting algorithm is generally used to maintain capacitor voltage balance across modules. This algorithm selectively switches modules based on the direction of current, ensuring that the total number of modules in operation remains constant. Capacitor voltage balancing can be completed within a 10ms timescale; therefore, at the power control level, the capacitor voltage of each module can be considered to be always the same, i.e., equal to the average voltage. The number of modules in operation can then be calculated based on the ratio of the modulation voltage to the average capacitor voltage.

[0010] However, even with a large number of modules, the aforementioned nearest-level modulation cannot be directly applied to modular battery energy storage systems. The reason is:

[0011] 1) The energy of the DC-side batteries in a modular battery energy storage system is far greater than the DC-side capacitors in flexible DC transmission systems and dynamic reactive power generator modules. Battery voltage does not change significantly over timescales of several minutes or even tens of minutes. When there is an imbalance among the modules in a modular battery energy storage system, the voltages of each module's batteries will differ considerably. Directly using the average voltage of the modules to calculate the required number of modules will cause significant errors, affecting the output voltage and current quality.

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