[0140] The X-type bridge circuit module is used to turn on and / or turn off the front-stage switch tube to control the power supply V i Perform bidirectional operation. Bidirectional operation performs different operations according to different modes, as follows:
[0141] When the output power of the energy storage converter is less than the load power, it switches to the first forward working mode and i Constant voltage charging is performed, and the specific constant voltage charging is to turn off the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 , turn on the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 .
[0142] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 is the equivalent circuit diagram of the first forward working mode, let D be the duty cycle of the switch tube, where the value range of the duty cycle D is 0~1, T s is the switching period, and the load R is defined L It is equivalent to the circuit on the right. It is defined at the starting time 0, giving the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 Apply a low-level drive pulse to turn it off at the same time, and give the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 Apply a high-level drive pulse to make it forward-conducting, the power supply V i Through the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 To the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 During this stage, the current flowing through the inductor increases linearly until DT s At this moment, the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 The inductor current reaches its maximum value.
[0143] In the first forward working mode, the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2At the same time, the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 At the same time, the inductor current flows through the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 By power supply V i By connecting the inductor in parallel, the total inductance of the inductor is reduced, so that the inductor current decreases linearly, which can more effectively i The energy stored in the inductor is transferred to the inductor, increasing the power supply V i The efficiency of charging the inductor. At this time, the power supply V i The voltage is mainly applied to the series inductor, and the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 The voltage it withstands is relatively low, and low voltage stress can reduce the risk of damage to the switching tube, improve the reliability and service life of the switching tube, and reduce the risk of device damage caused by high voltage stress.
[0144] The voltage and current equations in the first forward working mode are:
[0145]
[0146] Among them, from left to right is the power supply V i To load R L The power supply is a boost process, V i is the input voltage during boost, V o is the output voltage of the DC-DC part, that is, the input voltage of the DC-AC part; V ca1 、V ca2、 V ca3 、V ca4 The first capacitor C a1 , the second capacitor C a2 , the third capacitor C a3 , the fourth capacitor C a4 Voltage; V La1 and V La2 The first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 voltage, and since V La1 =V La2 So use V L Unified representation facilitates analysis; i i is the input current during boost, i o It is the output current of the DC-DC part during boosting, that is, the input current of the DC-AC part; i 1 The first inductor L a1 Left branch current; i ca1 is the current flowing through the first capacitor C a1 The current, ica3 is the current flowing through the third capacitor C a3 ; i La1 is the current flowing through the first inductor L a1 ; i La2 is the current flowing through the second inductor L a2 ; and i L represents the current of the inductor. Unified representation is convenient for analysis and calculation; i m represents the current of the middle branch of the topology DC-DC partial circuit; DT s The moment is the conduction time of the switching tube in one cycle.
[0147] When the output voltage of the energy storage converter is less than the load voltage, it is switched to the second positive working mode at this time, and the power supply V i is subjected to constant voltage charging. The constant voltage charging is specifically to turn on the first pre-stage switching tube and the second pre-stage switching tube, and turn off the third pre-stage switching tube and the fourth pre-stage switching tube.
[0148] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is the equivalent circuit diagram of the second positive working mode. At the moment of DT s , a high-level drive pulse is applied to the first pre-stage switching tube Q 1 and the second pre-stage switching tube Q 2 to make them conduct simultaneously, and a low-level drive pulse is applied to the third pre-stage switching tube Q 3 and the fourth pre-stage switching tube Q 4 to make them reverse cutoff. The first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 are connected in series to charge the load R L . At this stage, the power supply V i and the inductor discharge simultaneously to supply power to the load R L to achieve step-up. At this moment, the inductor currents of the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 reach the maximum value, and then the inductor continuously discharges until the moment of T s , the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 finish discharging and the current reaches the minimum value.
[0149] In the second positive working mode, the first pre-stage switching tube Q 1 and the second pre-stage switching tube Q 2 conduct simultaneously, the third pre-stage switching tube Q 3 and the fourth pre-stage switching tube Q 4 turn off simultaneously, the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 are connected in series to supply power to the load R L , that is, the right circuit. The power supply Vi The inductor discharges to the load R L By connecting the inductor in series, the total inductance of the inductor is increased, so that under the same input voltage and duty cycle, the inductor can store more energy, thus improving the power supply to the load R L The efficiency of power supply, that is, a higher boost ratio, makes the entire two-stage energy storage converter have a wider input. When the input voltage is small, a larger voltage can be obtained through the boost circuit. The inductor discharges, and the linearly decreasing current enables the inductor to release energy smoothly, avoiding sudden changes and impacts of current, and improving the stability and reliability of the system.
[0150] The voltage and current equations in this second forward working mode are:
[0151]
[0152] Among them, i Q1 is the current flowing through the first front stage switch tube Q 1 The current, i Q2 is the current flowing through the second front stage switch tube Q 2 of current.
[0153] When the circuit reaches steady state, the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 According to the volt-second balance law, the equation is as follows:
[0154]
[0155] Among them, DT s It is the product of duty cycle and period, which means the conduction time in one cycle.
[0156] The boost ratio in the current continuous mode is solved as follows:
[0157]
[0158] Among them, G M It represents the ratio of output voltage to input voltage, that is, the voltage step-up ratio.
[0159] Voltage stress is defined as the maximum voltage that the active device withstands when it is cut off. Therefore, the voltage stress corresponding to the previous switch tube is:
[0160]
[0161] Among them, V Q1 -V Q4 It is the front stage switch tube Q 1 -Q 4 voltage.
[0162] Current stress is defined as the steady-state average current of the active device, that is, I Q represents the current stress, frequency f s The period T s Based on the analysis of each working mode, the current stress corresponding to the previous switch tube can be obtained as:
[0163]
[0164] Whether from left to right power supply V i Discharge or from right to left grid to power supply V i For charging, the default ideal state is assumed, that is, the load R L The fluctuation of the power grid has no effect on the previous part. In practice, if the parameters of the switch tube itself, the drive delay, and the load R L Or the influence of inconsistent factors such as power grid fluctuations, resulting in the first capacitor C a1 and the second capacitor C a2 The voltage inequality will cause the midpoint potential imbalance, which can be controlled by fuzzy control. 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 Making the duty ratios of the two different can balance the unequal capacitor voltages, thus achieving voltage self-balancing and making the system more stable.
[0165] See also Figure 5 The working state is that the grid charges the energy storage. When the energy storage on the left is released, the grid supplies power V from right to left. i To charge, first Part of the AC power is converted into DC power, and then the high voltage step-down ratio The converter performs step-down charging, including two current continuous working modes. The first reverse charging working mode is to charge the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 Apply a high-level drive pulse to turn it on at the same time, and give the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 Apply a low-level drive pulse to shut them down at the same time. At this time, the grid voltage is inverted to the power supply V i and the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 The inductor is charged until the current reaches the maximum. At this time, the inductor is discharged. The second reverse charging mode is to charge the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 Apply a low-level drive pulse to turn it off at the same time, and give the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4Apply a high-level drive pulse to turn them on simultaneously, and the inductor current flows through the third pre-stage switch Q 3 and the fourth pre-stage switch Q 4 to charge the power supply V i .
[0166] When the output power of the energy storage converter is greater than the load power, it is switched to the first reverse charging working mode at this time, and the power supply V i is charged in reverse constant current. The reverse constant current charging is specifically to turn on the first pre-stage switch and the second pre-stage switch, and turn off the third pre-stage switch and the fourth pre-stage switch.
[0167] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 for the equivalent circuit diagram of the first reverse charging working mode. Let D F be the duty cycle of the switch tube during reverse operation, T s be the switching period. It is defined that at the starting time 0, a high-level drive pulse is applied to the first pre-stage switch Q 1 and the second pre-stage switch Q 2 to turn them on simultaneously, and a low-level drive pulse is applied to the third pre-stage switch Q 3 and the fourth pre-stage switch Q 4 to make them reverse cut-off. The grid voltage is inverted and then charges the first inductor L 1 , the second inductor L 2 and the power supply V a1 . During this stage, the current flowing through the inductor increases linearly until the D a2 T i moment, and the inductor currents of the first inductor L F and the second inductor L s reach the maximum value. a1 a2 i .
[0168] In the first reverse charging working mode, when the energy storage on the left is released, the grid charges the power supply V i from right to left. First, the alternating current is converted to direct current through the DC-AC part, and then step-down charging is carried out through a high step-up ratio DC-DC converter. The first pre-stage switch Q 1 and the second pre-stage switch Q 2 are turned on simultaneously, and the third pre-stage switch Q 3 and the fourth pre-stage switch Q 4 are turned off simultaneously. The grid voltage is inverted and then charges the power supply V i , the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2Charging. By connecting the inductor in series, the total inductance of the inductor is increased, so that under the same input voltage and duty cycle, the inductor can store more energy, improving the efficiency of reverse charging. In the charging stage, the grid voltage is mainly added to the series inductor, and the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 The voltage to be borne is relatively low, and low voltage stress can reduce the risk of damage to the switch tube, improve the reliability and service life of the switch tube, and reduce the risk of device damage caused by high voltage stress. And because the inductor current increases linearly, the current flowing through the inductor gradually increases until it reaches the maximum value. The linear increase in current enables the inductor to store energy steadily, avoiding sudden changes and shocks in the current, and improving the stability and reliability of the system.
[0169] The voltage and current equation in the first reverse charging working mode is:
[0170]
[0171] Among them, from right to left, the grid to the power supply V i The charging process is a voltage reduction process, V if The grid supplies energy to the energy storage power source V i The input voltage during charging is the output voltage of the DC-AC part and the input voltage of the DC-DC part, V of The power supply V i At this time, it should be noted that although the subsequent expressions of the voltage and current of the capacitor and inductor and the current of each branch remain unchanged, the directions marked in the topology are opposite due to the different charging and discharging processes. ca1 、V ca2、 V ca3 、V ca4 The first capacitor C a1 , the second capacitor C a2 , the third capacitor C a3 , the fourth capacitor C a4 Voltage; V La1 and V La2 The first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 voltage, and since V La1 =V La2 So use V L Unified representation facilitates analysis; i i is the input current during boost, i o It is the output current of the DC-DC part during boosting, that is, the input current of the DC-AC part; i 1 The first inductor L a1 Left branch current; i ca1 is the current flowing through the first capacitor C a1The current, i ca3 is the current flowing through the third capacitor C a3 The current i La1 is the current flowing through the first inductor L a1 The current, i La2 is the current flowing through the second inductor L a2 The current, and i L Represents the current of the inductor, and the unified representation is convenient for analysis and calculation; i m Represents the current in the middle branch of the DC-DC part of the topology; i Q1 is the current flowing through the first front stage switch tube Q 1 The current, i Q2 is the current flowing through the second front stage switch tube Q 2 The current; D F This is the duty cycle of the switch tube, and D F T s This is the time during which the switch is turned on for one cycle of the reverse charging process.
[0172] When the output current of the energy storage converter is greater than the load current, it switches to the second reverse charging mode and charges the power supply V i Reverse pulse charging is performed, and the reverse pulse charging specifically turns off the first front-stage switch tube and the second front-stage switch tube, and turns on the third front-stage switch tube and the fourth front-stage switch tube.
[0173] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 The equivalent circuit diagram of the second reverse charging working mode is shown in Figure 2. F T s At this moment, the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 Apply a low-level drive pulse to reverse cutoff, and give the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 Apply a high-level drive pulse to turn it on at the same time, the first inductor L a1 With the third front stage switch tube Q 3 In series, the second inductor L a2 With the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 In series, at this moment, the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 Discharge through the switch tube, that is, to the power supply V i Charging is continued until T s At this moment, the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 When discharge is complete, the current reaches the minimum value.
[0174] In the second reverse charging mode, the first front-stage switch tube Q 1And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 At the same time, the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 At the same time, the inductor current flows through the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 Give power V i By connecting the inductor in parallel, the total inductance of the inductor is reduced, so that the inductor current decreases linearly, and the stored energy can be transferred to the power supply V more effectively. i , improving the efficiency of reverse charging. During the inductor discharge process, the linearly decreasing current enables the inductor to release energy smoothly, avoiding current mutations and shocks, and improving the stability and reliability of the system. 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 The reverse voltage will not be too high because the inductor and the power supply V i The voltage is shared. Low voltage stress can reduce the risk of damage to the switch tube, improve the reliability and service life of the switch tube, and reduce the risk of device damage caused by high voltage stress.
[0175] The voltage and current equations in this working mode are:
[0176]
[0177] When the circuit reaches steady state, the first inductor L a1 and the second inductor L a2 According to the volt-second balance law, the equation is as follows:
[0178]
[0179] Among them, D F T s It is the product of the duty cycle and the period of the reverse charging process, that is, the time the switch tube is turned on at this time.
[0180] The solution is that the step-down ratio in the current reverse charging mode is:
[0181]
[0182] Among them, G FM It is the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage during the reverse charging process, which is the step-down ratio.

[0184]
[0185] Current stress is defined as the steady-state average current of the active device, that is, IQ represents the current stress, where the frequency f s The period T s Based on the analysis of each working mode, the current stress corresponding to the previous switch tube can be obtained as:
[0186] .
[0187] The present invention discloses a two-stage energy storage converter with a wide input symmetrical structure, wherein the front stage is a bidirectional high voltage step-up ratio DC-DC converter with an X-type structure. In specific operation, a high voltage step-up ratio is achieved by controlling the on-off of a switch and changing the connection mode of an inductor. The converter has the following characteristics:

Step 102 may include the following sub-steps:

[0203] Turn off the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 , turn on the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 .
[0204] S15, when the output power of the energy storage converter is less than the load power, the power supply V i Perform forward constant voltage discharge;
[0205] Switching to the first forward working mode by turning on and / or turning off the front-stage switch tube is specifically as follows:

[0207] S16, comparing the output voltage of the energy storage converter with the load voltage;
[0208] S17, when the output voltage of the energy storage converter is less than the load voltage, the power supply V i Perform forward constant voltage discharge.
[0209] Switching to the second forward working mode by turning on and / or off the front-stage switch tube is specifically as follows:
[0210] Turn on the first front-stage switch tube Q 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 , turn off the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 .
[0211] In the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 , where V s is the load voltage of the system, i s is the load current of the system, V ob is the output voltage of the energy storage converter, i ob is the output current of the energy storage converter; power P s is the load power, and the power P ob is the output power of the energy storage converter, ignoring losses, P cha is the output power P ob With load power P s difference.
[0212] First, detect V s 、i s 、V ob and i ob The value of and calculate the power P s and P ob , then calculate the power P ob With P s The difference is P cha , compare P cha When the power output of the energy storage converter is less than the load power, that is, P cha <0, the discharge circuit is controlled to conduct and the insufficient power is supplemented. i When the charge capacity is less than the lower limit, the discharge is stopped, leaving a certain margin, which can protect the battery life and avoid over-discharge, thereby improving the system stability.
[0213] When the output power of the energy storage converter is greater than the load power, that is, P cha > 0, based on the capacitor voltage stabilization control, the power supply V i absorbs the surplus energy. Therefore, the power difference between the two is used as the control signal to control the conduction of the charging circuit. When the charge capacity of the power supply V i is equal to the upper limit value, the charging stops. The upper limit value and the lower limit value of the charge capacity of the power supply V i are set according to the specific needs of the actual system.
[0214] The specific charge and discharge process of the power supply V of the present invention is as follows. When the output power of the energy storage converter is greater than the load power, that is, P i > 0, it enters the charging stage. cha > 0, it enters the charging stage.
[0215] First, the power supply V i adopts a charging method of first constant current and then pulse. In the constant current charging stage, a current negative feedback closed-loop PID control method is used, that is, the output current i of the energy storage converter ob is compared with the load current i s to generate a signal. When the output current i of the energy storage converter ob is less than the load current i s , the control signal is output through PID control, and then the pulse signal is generated by the PWM generator to control the on-off of the switching tube, thereby controlling the charging current. At this time, the first pre-stage switching tube Q 1 and the second pre-stage switching tube Q 2 are turned on, and the third pre-stage switching tube Q 3 and the fourth pre-stage switching tube Q 4 are turned off, which is the first reverse charging working mode.
[0216] When the output current i of the energy storage converter ob is greater than the load current i s , it switches to the pulse charging stage. The specific threshold is set according to the needs of the actual system. At this time, the first pre-stage switching tube Q 1 and the second pre-stage switching tube Q 2 are turned off, and the third pre-stage switching tube Q 3 and the fourth pre-stage switching tube Q 4 are turned on, which is the second reverse charging working mode.
[0217] Constant current charging means that during the charging process, the charging current remains constant, and the terminal voltage of the battery gradually increases as the battery's state of charge increases. In the initial charging stage of the battery, constant current charging can quickly increase the battery's charge capacity to a higher level. Since the current remains constant, the battery can absorb energy at a more stable rate, thereby shortening the charging time. Pulse charging is an intermittent charging method in which the charging current is applied to the battery in the form of pulses. Constant current charging is suitable for power supply V i In the initial charging stage, the charging speed is fast and the control is simple, which can quickly increase the battery's charge capacity. Pulse charging is suitable for power supply V i In the later charging stage, it can reduce concentration polarization, extend battery life, improve energy conversion efficiency, better control the battery voltage and avoid overcharging.
[0218] When the grid voltage output energy is insufficient or fluctuates or even fails, resulting in power failure, the power supply V i Discharge control is performed, that is, when the output power of the energy storage converter is less than the load power, that is, P cha <0, the discharge circuit is controlled to be turned on.
[0219] The present invention adopts a voltage negative feedback closed-loop PID control method, that is, the output voltage V ob With load voltage V s The comparison generates a signal. When the energy storage converter outputs a voltage V ob Greater than the load voltage V s , the control signal is output through PID control, and then the pulse signal is generated through the PWM generator to control the on and off of the switch tube. At this time, the first front-stage switch tube Q is controlled 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 Turn off and control the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 Conducting, that is, the first forward working mode;
[0220] When the energy storage converter output voltage V ob Less than the load voltage V s At this time, the first front-stage switch tube Q is controlled 1 And the second front-stage switch tube Q 2 Conducting, controlling the third front-stage switch tube Q 3 And the fourth front stage switch tube Q 4 Shutdown is the second forward working mode, which is used to control the load terminal voltage to reach a given voltage value.

[0226] See also Fig.13 , the equivalent circuit of fuzzy control is applied when the midpoint potential is unbalanced. Fuzzy control is based on fuzzy logic rules, does not rely on accurate mathematical models, and can quickly respond to changes in system parameters and external interference. During the operation of the power system, when some sudden factors affect the input power of the inverter, the fuzzy control strategy of midpoint potential balance can be quickly sensed and adjusted, so that the system can quickly restore to a stable operating state and reduce energy loss and voltage fluctuations caused by dynamic processes. First, the key factors affecting the output capacitor voltage balance are determined, including capacitor voltage deviation and deviation change rate. The capacitor voltage deviation and deviation change rate are selected as input variables of the fuzzy controller, and the switch duty cycle adjustment amount is selected as the output variable. According to the system characteristics, fuzzy rules are formulated. That is, when the capacitor voltage deviation is large, the duty cycle of the switch is appropriately adjusted to balance the capacitor voltage. Then, appropriate membership functions are defined for the input and output variables, and the precise values are mapped to the fuzzy set. During the operation of the system, the input variables are collected in real time, and the duty cycle adjustment amount of the switch is calculated through fuzzification, fuzzy reasoning and defuzzification. According to the defuzzified duty cycle adjustment amount, the duty cycle of the switch is adjusted to achieve the balance of the output capacitor voltage. Under different working conditions, such as load R L Frequent fluctuations, power supply V iVoltage instability, etc. This strategy can flexibly adapt to changes and maintain good control performance. For example, in industrial production, when large equipment starts or stops, causing the grid load R L When the change is drastic, the fuzzy control strategy can be based on the midpoint

The logical structure diagram of the fuzzy control module is shown in Figure 1. w are the capacitor voltage error and error variation, respectively. y(k) represents the capacitor voltage error of the kth time. k actually represents an unknown number, and y w (k) represents the change in the capacitor voltage error at the kth time, which is the capacitor voltage error at the kth time minus the capacitor voltage error at the k-1th time. After quantization, y', y w ', and then fuzzy to get Y, Y w , then Y, Y w They are y', y w ', k b is the output fuzzy quantity after fuzzy reasoning, and after defuzzification, k b ', and finally the precise control quantity K is obtained through the proportional factor B .
