Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of regulating and controlling of standby power supply loop devices, and particularly relates to a low-cost converter regulating method and system for a standby power supply system. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this part merely provide background technical information related to the present invention, and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Three-level inverters have obvious advantages such as low voltage stress of power switching tubes, high output waveform quality, and small filter volume, and are widely used in power supply and distribution systems. In addition, compared with three-level converters with only L filters, three-level converters with LC filters have advantages such as higher converter efficiency, lower harmonic content in the output waveform, and less electromagnetic interference. Therefore, three-level converters with LC filters are widely used in Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and Emergency Power Supplies (EPS).

[0004] The low-cost three-level converter topology reduces the number of power switching tubes by using a coupled switch unit, thereby reducing the system cost and having a wide application prospect in the standby power field. The common-mode voltage is generated by the high-frequency switching action of power switching tubes. In a system with distributed photovoltaic power generation units, due to the existence of parasitic capacitors, leakage current is likely to be induced, resulting in output current distortion of the converter, increased system power loss, and even a threat to personal safety. When the standby power supply system is applied to motor variable-frequency drive, the motor will inductively generate shaft voltage under the influence of the common-mode voltage, which is likely to break down the insulating oil film between the motor bearings, damage the motor bearings, and increase the system electromagnetic interference.

[0005] As the inventor understands, the existing traditional linear regulation methods for low-cost three-level converters with LC filters include Proportional Integral (PI) control and Proportional Resonance (PR) control. However, the performance of this method depends on the value of the gain module, and there are also problems such as slow dynamic response and difficulty in achieving neutral point potential balance. Model predictive control has obvious advantages in the following aspects, such as fast dynamic response ability, superior anti-interference ability, and flexible multi-objective control ability. Therefore, model predictive control is more suitable for application in standby power supply systems to meet the performance indicators of high reliability and fast switching of the system.

[0006] However, due to the limitations of its own topology, the existing common-mode voltage suppression method for the original three-level converter cannot be applied to this topology. At the same time, for the existing model predictive control methods for low-cost three-level converters, they are only applicable to the topology with an L filter and cannot be directly applied to the topology with an LC filter. If the traditional model predictive control method is improved and applied to the topology with an LC filter, it has the following disadvantages, such as high common-mode voltage, high harmonic content in the load voltage, non-fixed switching frequency, and complex control algorithm operation. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a control method and system for a low-cost converter in a standby power supply system.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] This embodiment provides a low-cost converter control method for a backup power supply system. This embodiment takes the application of this method to a server as an example. It can be understood that this method can also be applied to a terminal, and can also be applied to a system including a terminal and a server, and is realized through the interaction between the terminal and the server. The server can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, web servers, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services CDN, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The terminal can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, etc., but is not limited thereto. The terminal and the server can be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication methods, and this application does not make any restrictions here. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0052] Obtain the load voltage, current, inductor current, and the voltages of the upper and lower capacitors on the DC side of the low-cost three-level converter at the current moment, and calculate the expected output voltage;

[0053] Optimize the vector candidate set by deprecating high common-mode voltage vectors, and synthesize virtual small vectors and virtual medium vectors based on discrete space vector modulation to expand the vector candidate set, and obtain the latest vector candidate set;

[0054] Based on the amplitude relationship and boundary conditions of the expected output voltage in the 60-degree coordinate system, determine the optimal large sector and the optimal small sector where the expected output voltage is located;

[0055] Based on the latest vector candidate set, determine the initial switching sequence in the optimal small sector according to the DC side capacitor voltage difference;

[0056] With the goal of minimizing the load voltage tracking error, calculate the optimal action time of the selected basic voltage vector, and optimize the initial switching sequence according to minimizing the number of switching actions and balancing the neutral point voltage on the DC side to obtain the optimal switching sequence;

[0057] Generate corresponding drive signals based on the optimal switching sequence to control the conduction and turn-off of the switching devices of the low-cost three-level converter.

[0058] The present invention proposes a high-performance regulation method for a low-cost converter applicable to a backup power supply system to achieve suppression of the common-mode voltage and output voltage harmonics of the low-cost three-level converter. The method of the present invention is applicable to both the discharge state and the charging state of the backup power supply. The following takes the discharge state of the backup power supply as an example for specific elaboration, and further explanation is made in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0059] In one or more embodiments, the control object of the high-performance regulation method for the low-cost converter applicable to the backup power supply system is the low-cost three-level converter system. Refer to Figure 1 . Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of a low-cost three-level converter system applicable to a backup power supply system.

[0060] Under ideal conditions, the DC-side voltage V dc is evenly distributed by C1 and C2. The neutral point of the DC side (i.e., Figure 1 midpoint O) is selected as the reference point. As Figure 1 shown, for the convenience of expression, the common module is further divided into an upper bridge arm module and a lower bridge arm module; their output voltages are represented by V H and V L respectively. The working principle of the common module can be expressed as:

[0061]

[0062] The common module is connected to the three-phase independent modules through V H and V L . The common module is connected to the filter and the load through the midpoint of the three-phase independent modules. The three-phase output voltages of the low-cost three-level converter applicable to the backup power supply system are expressed as:

[0063]

[0064] Among them, S x (x = 1, 2, ···, 10) satisfies the following relationship:

[0065]

[0066] Therefore, through the permutation and combination of different switching states, the system has a total of 21 voltage vectors. The common-mode voltage of the system can be expressed as:

[0067]

[0068] The power switch tube can be implemented by any controllable power electronic switch tube. Specifically, an Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) can be used; it can also be implemented by other forms of transistors, and specific selection can be made according to the actual needs of those skilled in the art.

[0069] In the present invention, by abandoning the basic voltage vectors whose common-mode voltage amplitude exceeds V dc / 6, the common-mode voltage of the system is suppressed, and the system stability is enhanced. In addition, due to the existence of the common module, the converter mentioned above can output at most two level signals at the same time, so that the medium vector cannot be generated. Therefore, the low-cost three-level converter has only thirteen available low common-mode basic voltage vectors, referring to Figure 3 .

[0070] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a model predictive voltage control method for a low-cost converter applicable to a standby power system. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0071] Based on the state equation of the LC-type power conversion circuit at the AC port of the low-cost converter, after discretization and coordinate transformation, a discrete mathematical model of the LC-type power conversion circuit in the 60-degree coordinate system is obtained;

[0072] Using the "one-step estimation method", the estimated result of the inductor current is approximated as the actual value of the inductor current, and the gradient equation of the load voltage is sorted out;

[0073] To simultaneously achieve flexible control of the neutral point voltage on the DC side, reduce the output voltage ripple, and reduce the calculation difficulty of the optimal action time, virtual vectors are synthesized based on the basic principle of discrete space vector modulation;

[0074] Sample the load voltage, load current, inductor current, and the voltages of the upper and lower capacitors on the DC side of the low-cost three-level converter and perform coordinate transformation processing;

[0075] Calculate the expected output voltage of the low-cost three-level converter, and determine the optimal large and small sectors according to the amplitude relationship and boundary conditions of the expected output voltage in the 60-degree coordinate system;

[0076] Based on minimizing the output voltage tracking error, calculate the optimal action time of each vector at the k+1 moment;

[0077] Determine the switching mode at the next moment according to the voltage difference between the upper and lower capacitors on the DC side to balance the neutral point voltage on the DC side, and obtain the optimal switching sequence by optimizing the switching sequence, so as to achieve a fixed switching frequency;

[0078] Generate corresponding drive signals based on the optimal switching sequence to control the conduction and cutoff of the switching devices of the low-cost three-level converter.

[0079] Figure 2 This is the control block diagram of the low-cost three-level converter system applicable to the standby power supply system of the present invention, which specifically includes the following links:

[0080] A. Construct a system dynamic model

[0081] Based on Figure 1 And obtain the continuous dynamic equation of the system according to Kirchhoff's law, and its expression is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] To reduce the complexity of the control algorithm, the present invention performs the following coordinate transformation, and the transformation formula is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] Where, [x a x b x c T is the coordinate of the AC voltage or AC current in the abc three-phase coordinate system; [x g x h T is the coordinate of the AC voltage or AC current in the 60-degree coordinate system.

[0086] After the above coordinate transformation, the continuous dynamic equation of the system in the 60-degree coordinate system can be obtained, and its expression is as follows:

[0087]

[0088] Where, v og and v oh are the coordinates of the load voltage in the 60-degree coordinate system, i g and i h are the coordinates of the inductor current in the 60-degree coordinate system, i og and i oh are the coordinates of the load current in the 60-degree coordinate system, v g and v h are the coordinates of the output voltage in the 60-degree coordinate system, L f and C f are the filter inductor and filter capacitor respectively.

[0089] As a further technical solution, according to the forward Euler method, discretize the system dynamic equation, and the expression of the discrete dynamic model in the 60-degree coordinate system is as follows:

[0090] ​​

[0091] Among them, v og (k + 1), v oh (k + 1), i og (k + 1), i oh (k + 1), v og (k), v oh (k), i og (k) and i oh (k) respectively represent the expressions of the load voltage and load current at the (k + 1)-th and k-th moments in the 60-degree coordinate system; i g (k), i h (k), v g (k) and v h (k) respectively represent the expressions of the inductor current and output voltage at the k-th moment in the 60-degree coordinate system; T s represents the sampling period.

[0092] Obviously, based on Equations (9) and (10), the system state variables: the inductor current and the load voltage are cross-coupled with each other. At the same time, the output voltage cannot directly control the load voltage. The system control performance is restricted by the above coupling relationship.

[0093] As a further technical solution, to maintain the balance of the DC-side voltage, from Figure 1 the following relationship between the DC-side capacitor current and the capacitor voltage can be obtained:

[0094]

[0095] Among them, C1 and C2 are the upper and lower capacitors of the distributed DC power supply unit respectively, V C1 and V C2 are the upper and lower capacitor voltages respectively, i p and i n are the currents flowing through the upper and lower capacitors respectively.

[0096] Similarly, according to the forward Euler method, discretizing Equation (11), the discrete dynamic model of the distributed DC power supply unit is obtained as:

[0097]

[0098] Therefore, according to Equation (12), the expressions of the upper and lower capacitor voltages of the distributed DC power supply unit at the (k + 1)-th moment can be obtained, which can be expressed as:

[0099]

[0100] In addition, i p and i n satisfy the following relationship:

[0101] i np = i p -i n (14)

[0102] where i np is the current flowing through the neutral point O.

[0103] In addition, according to Equation (13) and Equation (14), the voltage difference V diff (k + 1) of the upper and lower capacitors of the distributed DC power supply unit at the (k + 1)-th moment can be obtained, which is expressed as:

[0104]

[0105] Therefore, to predict the voltage difference of the upper and lower capacitors of the distributed DC power supply unit at the (k + 1)-th moment, an additional current sensor is required, which increases the cost and complexity of the system design.

[0106] B. System Decoupling Control and Load Voltage Gradient Calculation

[0107] The optimal switching sequence is a control algorithm based on the change gradient of the controlled object by the selected voltage vector. Therefore, to accurately predict the load voltage, it is first necessary to obtain the gradient of the basic voltage vector with respect to the load voltage. However, for a low-cost type converter with an LC filter, the output voltage v gh of the converter directly affects the inductor current i gh , and the load voltage v ogh cannot be directly controlled. Therefore, to obtain the load voltage gradient corresponding to each basic voltage vector and predict the load voltage, decoupling operation must be performed.

[0108] The present invention adopts a "one-step estimation" strategy to achieve the decoupling operation between state variables. Specifically, this strategy assumes that after applying a voltage vector throughout the control period, the estimated value of the inductor current is used as the inductor current at the k-th moment. The mathematical model of the "one-step estimation" strategy can be expressed as:

[0109]

[0110] where and are the estimated values of the inductor current in the 60-degree coordinate system at the k-th moment.

[0111] According to Equation (7), the calculation formula for the load voltage gradient before decoupling is as follows:

[0112]

[0113] where f vog and f vohis the load voltage gradient in the 60-degree coordinate system. Substitute Equation (16) into Equation (17) for decoupling operation, and at the same time discretize the load voltage gradient according to the forward Euler method. The discretized expression of the load voltage gradient is expressed as:

[0114]

[0115] C. Establish a prediction model

[0116] To simultaneously achieve the control objectives of low output voltage ripple and reduced algorithm complexity, the present invention selects three voltage vectors V v1 , V v2 and V v3 in each control cycle to synthesize the reference voltage, and their action times are t1, t2 and t3 respectively. The above action times satisfy the following relational expressions:

[0117] t1 + t2 + t3 = T s (19)

[0118] According to Equation (18), the predicted values v og (k + 1) and v oh (k + 1) of the load voltage at the (k + 1)-th moment in the 60-degree coordinate system can be expressed as:

[0119]

[0120] Among them, f Vvg,1 , f Vvg,2 , f Vvg,3 , f Vvh,1 , f Vvh,2 and f Vvh,3 are the load voltage gradients of the voltage vectors V v1 , V v2 and V v3 on the g-axis and h-axis respectively.

[0121] The predicted values and of the reference voltage at the (k + 1)-th moment are obtained by the second-order Lagrange extrapolation theorem:

[0122]

[0123] For the multi-objective control to simultaneously achieve low output voltage ripple and maintain the neutral point voltage balance of the DC side, the initial value function J0 can be expressed as:

[0124]

[0125] Among them, λ is the weight factor for maintaining the neutral point voltage balance of the DC side.

[0126] D. Synthetic Virtual Vector and Neutral Point Voltage Balance Control

[0127] 1) Synthetic virtual small vector

[0128] According to Figure 3 it can be seen that after the high common-mode voltage vector is deprecated, the existing small vectors no longer have redundant states, which brings great difficulties to the neutral point voltage balance control of the DC side. To address the above problems, six newly synthesized virtual small vectors and the existing small vectors form a new redundant relationship, thereby flexibly controlling the DC neutral point voltage.

[0129] According to Figure 3 it can be seen that among the existing basic voltage vectors, the neutral point voltage of the DC side is only affected by the small vectors. Each virtual small vector is synthesized by three basic voltage vectors V1, V2, and V3. To ensure that the newly synthesized virtual small vector and the corresponding small vector have equal amplitudes and opposite polarities within one control period, the above three basic voltage vectors need to satisfy the following constraint conditions: np is equal in amplitude and opposite in polarity, the above three basic voltage vectors need to satisfy the following constraint conditions:

[0130] i npv1 +i npv2 +i npv3 =-i npv (23)

[0131] where, i npv1 、i npv2 and i npv3 are the i np generated by the basic voltage vectors V1, V2, and V3 respectively, and i npv is the i np generated by the real small vector corresponding to the virtual small vector, that is, the current flowing through the neutral point O.

[0132] The virtual small vectors synthesized by the present invention and their combinations of basic voltage vectors are shown in Table 1.

[0133] Table 1 Virtual Small Vectors and Their Basic Voltage Vectors

[0134]

[0135]

[0136] The virtual small vector V vx (x = 1,…,6) and its basic voltage vectors need to satisfy the constraint conditions:

[0137]

[0138] where, T vx is the action time of the virtual small vector V vx , and t1, t2, and t3 are the action times of the basic voltage vectors V1, V2, and V3 respectively.

[0139] 2) Synthesize the virtual middle vector

[0140] According to Figure 3 it can be seen that when the reference voltage is in region B, to ensure the optimal action time of each vector, it is necessary to perform three partial derivative calculations on the four selected voltage vectors according to the value function, which will undoubtedly increase the algorithm complexity. Region B can be further divided into two sub-sectors according to the virtual middle vector. In the newly divided sub-sectors, only two partial derivative calculations are required to determine the optimal action time of each vector, thus reducing the algorithm complexity. To avoid the influence of the virtual middle vector on the neutral point voltage of the DC side, only two large vectors are selected as the basic voltage vectors for the newly synthesized virtual middle vector.

[0141] The above virtual middle vector and its basic voltage vectors are shown in Table 2.

[0145]

[0147] 3) Neutral point voltage balance control of the DC side

[0148] Figure 4 is the extended space vector diagram of the low-cost three-level converter system applicable to the standby power supply system in this embodiment. According to Figure 4 it can be seen that there are a total of twenty-five voltage vectors after optimization for the low-cost three-level converter applicable to the standby power supply system.

[0149] It should be noted that two different switching sequences can be generated in each small sector. They have the same influence on the load voltage but have opposite influences on the neutral point voltage of the DC side. When the neutral point voltage of the DC side is too high, the switching sequence containing the N-type small vector is selected; when the neutral point voltage of the DC side is too low, the switching sequence containing the P-type small vector is selected. Through the two switching sequences mentioned above, the weighting factor λ in Equation (22) can be eliminated. Therefore, the new value function can be expressed as:

[0150]

[0151] According to Equation (26), there is no weight factor in the new value function, so there is no need for an additional DC-side current sampling circuit.

[0152] E. Calculation of the Optimal Action Time of Voltage Vectors

[0153] The basic requirement of model prediction is to minimize the value function. Combining Equation (20), Equation (21) and Equation (26), the value function J can be expressed as an equation about t1 and t2. By taking the partial derivatives of the value function J, the optimal solutions of t1 and t2 are obtained. The calculation formula for the optimal action time of voltage vectors is as follows:

[0154]

[0155] Solving Equation (27), the explicit solutions of the optimal action times t1, t2 and t3 can be expressed as:

[0156]

[0157] where

[0158] F. Judgment of the Optimal Subsector

[0159] If the traditional method is still used to calculate the action times of all switching sequences in each control period, the complexity of the control algorithm will increase significantly, thus restricting its application in the standby power supply field. Therefore, the present invention first uses deadbeat control to obtain the expected output voltage of the low-cost type converter in the 60-degree coordinate system and Combining Equation (16) - Equation (18), the expected output voltage can be expressed as:

[0160]

[0161] Taking V dc / 3 as the reference, and are normalized. The normalized expected output voltages and are:

[0162]

[0163] Furthermore, for simplicity of calculation, the reference voltages are rotated into Sector 1 during sector conversion. The relationship between the expected output voltages and after sector conversion and the normalized expected output voltages and is as follows:

[0164]

[0165] where N is the number of large sectors.

[0166] 1) Large sector division

[0167] First, based on and the amplitude conditions in the 60-degree coordinate system, the optimal large sector N can be determined simply and quickly. Table 3 shows different large sectors and their corresponding amplitude conditions.

[0169]

[0170]

[0171] 2) Small sector division

[0172] Secondly, combining and the boundary conditions in the 60-degree coordinate system can further determine the optimal small sector S. Table 4 shows different small sectors and their corresponding boundary conditions.

[0173] Table 4 Corresponding relationship between boundary conditions of expected output voltage and different small sectors

[0175] G. Switching sequence design

[0176] Through sector division, the above method only needs to calculate the action time of the voltage vector once and does not need to perform multiple rolling comparison calculations, greatly simplifying the control algorithm.

[0226] Convert the switching sequence into the drive signals of the power switching tubes, and then control the operation of the low-cost three-level converter system.

[0227] As shown in Figs. 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c), the DC-side capacitor voltage, line voltage, load voltage, load current and common-mode voltage of the low-cost three-level converter system applicable to the backup power supply system of the present invention adopting single-vector model predictive control, optimal switching sequence model predictive control and the low common-mode model predictive control proposed by the present invention are presented. And the total harmonic distortion rates of the load voltage of the three methods are 4.47%, 0.39% and 0.42% respectively. Obviously, compared with the existing single-vector model predictive control method, the proposed method and the optimal switching sequence model predictive control method greatly reduce the output voltage ripple and improve the output power quality; at the same time, the proposed method reduces the common-mode voltage amplitude to half of the traditional model predictive control method, improving the stability of the system; the proposed method realizes the balance of the DC-side midpoint voltage by flexibly selecting the action of small vectors and virtual small vectors.

Compared with the single-vector model predictive control method, the proposed method and the optimal switching sequence model predictive control method have smaller voltage harmonics, and are more concentratedly distributed at the switching frequency and its multiples, which is beneficial to the filter parameter design for more efficient filtering.

[0229] As shown in Figs. 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c), the dynamic response waveforms of the load voltage and load current of the low-cost three-level converter system applicable to the backup power supply system of the present invention adopting single-vector model predictive control, optimal switching sequence model predictive control and the low common-mode model predictive control proposed by the present invention are presented. It can be seen from the waveforms that the proposed method can maintain a constant AC output voltage during load switching, and at the same time, it also realizes low voltage ripple and fast and stable dynamic response.

[0230] Therefore, by adopting the high-performance regulation method of low-common-mode model predictive control applicable to the low-cost three-level converter system for the standby power supply system in this embodiment, the common-mode voltage can be reduced, and the system reliability can be improved; the concept of virtual vectors is introduced, and the expected output voltage is fitted with multiple vectors to reduce the voltage ripple and improve the power quality of the output voltage; the value function is used to select the action time of the voltage vector required for predicting the synthesized load voltage at the moment k+1, further reducing the voltage ripple; the switching sequence is cleverly designed to achieve a fixed switching frequency, which is beneficial to the efficient filtering of voltage harmonics; the switching sequence is flexibly selected to achieve the balance of the midpoint potential of the DC side; the optimal sector judgment method in the 60-degree coordinate system avoids complex trigonometric calculations through simple numerical comparisons, greatly reducing the complexity of the control algorithm; high-reliability and high-performance control are achieved, the implementation is simple, and the practicability is strong, with broad application prospects in industrial fields such as standby power supply systems.
