Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of power electronic transformers, and relates to a resonant power electronic transformer, specifically to a resonant power electronic transformer based on current clamping and its operation control method. Background Art

[0002] Industrial parks are important platforms and powerful engines for promoting national economic growth, industrial agglomeration and innovation. According to data from the National Development and Reform Commission, industrial parks contribute more than 30% to the national economy, but also account for 31% of the national carbon dioxide emissions. Under the strategic goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", increasing the proportion of renewable energy used in industrial parks is an important way to achieve the national carbon emission reduction goal. Among them, photovoltaic power generation has become the first choice for renewable new energy access in industrial parks due to its low cost, environmental friendliness, and no terrain restrictions.

[0003] Traditional new energy AC collection and transmission technologies face many problems such as large transmission line losses, multiple power conversion links, low efficiency, and poor stability. Their capacity and scale are limited, making it difficult to meet the electricity demand of large industrial parks. In contrast, the photovoltaic power generation scheme of medium-voltage DC collection and transmission has significant advantages. The collection and step-up transformer is the core equipment of this photovoltaic DC collection system. To improve the system operation efficiency and enhance the photovoltaic power generation benefit, a resonant power electronic transformer scheme is usually adopted.

[0004] CN118264120A proposes a power electronic transformer scheme with LC series resonance. By making the inductance and capacitance resonate, the resonant current shows a periodic sine wave, thus realizing the soft switching of the primary side switching tubes and reducing the switching loss. The sine wave resonant current of this scheme increases the peak value and effective value of the current flowing through the switching tubes, increases the device current stress and conduction loss, and reduces the operation efficiency of the power electronic transformer. CN116316529A proposes a three-active-bridge power electronic transformer scheme. Through the coordinated control of the primary and secondary side switching tubes, trapezoidal wave resonant current operation can be achieved, reducing the amplitude and effective value of the resonant current. The primary side switching tubes of this scheme can only achieve zero-voltage turn-on, which is not suitable for the medium-voltage DC collection scenario widely using IGBT devices. The voltage withstand level of the secondary side switching tubes also limits the step-up output voltage level, and multiple module outputs in series are required to complete the step-up output.

[0005] In summary, to further improve the operation efficiency of the photovoltaic medium-voltage DC collection and transmission system, a resonant power electronic transformer with both soft switching characteristics and low resonant current amplitude and effective value is still needed. Summary of the Invention
