Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of UPS systems, and in particular to a UPS system busbar balancing hybrid topology circuit. Background Art

[0002] In conventional three-phase uninterruptible power supply systems, most inverters use a three-level inverter structure, which includes a positive bus and a negative bus. In order to effectively manage the battery current, the battery discharge circuit is usually divided into a positive side battery discharge circuit and a negative side battery discharge circuit, such as Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1, a battery pack generally consists of two parts: a positive battery pack and a negative battery pack. The battery pack is connected to the UPS system via three main cables: a positive battery cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery pack, a midpoint battery cable connected to the midpoint of the battery pack, and a negative battery cable connected to the negative terminal of the battery pack.

[0003] In conventional applications, the wire diameter of the battery midpoint cable should be consistent with the wire diameter of the battery positive and negative cables to ensure balanced current distribution. However, in actual applications, especially when the power of the UPS system is large, the installation cost of the battery midpoint cable may be very high. This is because the battery midpoint cable hardly carries current under normal working conditions, and only carries current under special circumstances such as a short circuit at the UPS end. Therefore, the cost performance of the battery midpoint cable is relatively low. In order to reduce the cost of cable installation, reduce waste, and contribute to energy conservation and emission reduction, the industry hopes to remove the battery midpoint cable. To this end, one of the current technical solutions is to introduce a bus balancing circuit, such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1, inductor L3 and switching elements Q3 and Q4 form a busbar balancing circuit, which maintains battery pack balance by adjusting the voltage difference between the positive and negative busbars. The introduction of this balancing circuit effectively fulfills the function of a battery pack midpoint cable, eliminating the battery midpoint cable in the design. A side effect of this solution is that it increases PCB size and cost.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new circuit that can not only remove the battery midpoint cable and achieve battery voltage balance by adding a bus balancing circuit, reduce the cable installation cost, but also reduce the increase in PCB design complexity and cost.
