Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of regulating and controlling of backup power supply circuit device, and particularly relates to a low-cost converter regulating and controlling method and system for a backup power supply system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

[0003] Three-level inverters have obvious advantages such as low voltage stress of power switch tubes, high quality of output waveform, and small size of filter, and are widely used in power supply systems. In addition, compared with three-level converters with only L filters, three-level converters with LC filters have higher converter efficiency, lower harmonic content of 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] Low-cost three-level converter topologies reduce the number of power switch tubes and system cost by utilizing coupled switch cells, and have wide application prospects in the field of backup power supplies. Common-mode voltage is generated by the high-frequency switching action of power switch tubes. In systems containing distributed photovoltaic power generation units, due to the existence of parasitic capacitance, leakage current is easily induced, leading to distortion of converter output current and increase of system power loss, and even threatening personal safety. When the backup power supply system is applied to motor variable frequency drives, the motor will be affected by the common-mode voltage to induce shaft voltage, which is easy to break through the insulation oil film between the motor bearings, damage the motor bearings, and increase the system electromagnetic interference.

[0005] According to the inventors' understanding, the existing traditional linear regulating and controlling method for low-cost three-level converters with LC filters includes proportional integral (PI) control and proportional resonance (PR) control. However, the performance of this method depends on the value of the gain module, and at the same time, there are 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 capability, superior anti-interference capability, and flexible multi-objective control capability. Therefore, model predictive control is more suitable for application in backup power supply systems to meet the performance indicators of high reliability and fast switching of the system.

[0006] However, due to the limitation of the topology itself, the original three-level converter common-mode voltage suppression method cannot be applied to this topology. At the same time, the existing model predictive control method for low-cost three-level converters is only applicable to the topology with L filter and cannot be directly applied to the topology with LC filter. If the traditional model predictive control method is improved and applied to the topology with LC filter, it has the following shortcomings, such as high common-mode voltage, high load voltage harmonic content, fixed switching frequency, and complex control algorithm operation. SUMMARY

[0050] Embodiment one

[0051] The embodiment provides a low-cost converter regulation method for a backup power supply system. The embodiment takes the method applied to a server as an example. It can be understood that the 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 interaction of the terminal and the server. The server can be a physical server, a server cluster composed of multiple physical servers or a distributed system, and can also be a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network 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 and the like, but is not limited thereto. The terminal and the server can be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in the present application. In the embodiment, the method comprises the following steps:

[0052] Obtaining load voltage and current, inductor current and DC side upper and lower capacitor voltages of the low-cost three-level converter at the current moment, and calculating an expected output voltage;

[0053] Optimizing the vector candidate set by discarding high common-mode voltage vectors, expanding the vector candidate set based on discrete space vector modulation to synthesize virtual small vectors and virtual middle vectors, and obtaining 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, respectively, determining the optimal large sector and the optimal small sector where the expected output voltage is located;

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

[0056] Taking minimization of load voltage tracking error as the target, calculating the optimal action time of the selected basic voltage vector, optimizing the initial switching sequence according to minimization of switching action times and balancing of the DC side neutral point voltage, and obtaining the optimal switching sequence.

[0057] Based on the optimal switching sequence, a corresponding driving signal is generated to control the switching devices of the low-cost three-level converter to be turned on and off.

[0058] This invention proposes a low-cost, high-performance converter control method for backup power systems, achieving common-mode voltage and output voltage harmonic suppression for low-cost three-level converters. This method is applicable to both the backup power supply's discharging and charging states. The following detailed description uses the backup power supply's discharging state as an example, further illustrated with reference to the accompanying figures and examples.

[0059] In one or more embodiments, the control object of the low-cost converter high-performance control method applicable to the backup power system is a low-cost three-level converter system. Figure 1 . Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of a low-cost three-level converter system suitable for backup power systems.

[0060] Under ideal conditions, the DC side voltage V dc It is evenly distributed by C1 and C2. Select the DC side neutral point (i.e. Figure 1 The midpoint O) is used as the reference point. Figure 1 As shown, for ease of description, the common module is further subdivided into upper bridge arm module and lower bridge arm module; their output voltages are denoted by V H and V L The working principle of the common module can be expressed as:

[0061]

[0062] Public modules pass V H and V L The common module is connected to the filter and load via the midpoint of the three-phase independent module. The three-phase output voltage of the low-cost three-level converter suitable for backup power supply system is expressed as:

[0063]

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

[0065]

[0066] Therefore, through the arrangement and combination of different switch 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 adopted; or other forms of transistors can be adopted, specifically, the actual needs of those skilled in the art can be selected.

[0069] The application suppresses the common-mode voltage of the system and enhances the stability of the system by discarding the basic voltage vector whose common-mode voltage amplitude exceeds V dc / 6, and the above-mentioned converter can output at most two kinds of signals at the same time, so that the middle vector cannot be generated. Therefore, the low-cost three-level converter has only thirteen available low common-mode basic voltage vectors, and the reference Figure 3 .

[0070] To solve the above problems, the application provides a model predictive voltage control method suitable for a low-cost converter of a backup power supply system. In the embodiment, the method comprises the following steps:

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

[0072] The estimation result of the inductor current is approximated to the actual value of the inductor current by using the "one-step estimation method", and the gradient equation of the load voltage is obtained;

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

[0074] The load voltage, load current, inductor current and DC side upper and lower capacitor voltages of the low-cost three-level converter are sampled and processed through coordinate transformation;

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

[0076] Based on the minimization of the output voltage tracking error, the optimal action time of each vector at k+1 time is calculated;

[0077] The switching mode at the next time is determined according to the voltage difference of the DC side upper and lower capacitors, so as to balance the neutral point voltage of the DC side, and the optimal switching sequence is obtained through optimization of the switching sequence, so as to realize fixed switching frequency;

[0078] The corresponding driving signal is generated based on the optimal switch sequence to control the switch device conduction and turn-off of the low-cost three-level converter.

[0079] Figure 2 The low-cost three-level converter system control block diagram suitable for the standby power supply system of the application specifically comprises the following links:

[0080] A. Constructing system dynamic model

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

[0082]

[0083] In order to reduce the complexity of the control algorithm, the following coordinate transformation is performed, and the transformation formula is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] Wherein, [x a x b x c ] T is the coordinate of alternating voltage or alternating current in abc three-phase coordinate system; [x g x h ] T is the coordinate of alternating voltage or alternating current in 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 the expression is as follows:

[0087]

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

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

[0090]

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

[0092] Obviously, based on equation (9) and equation (10), the system state variables: inductor current and 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 limited by the above coupling relationship.

[0093] As a further technical solution, in order to maintain the balance of the DC side voltage, by Figure 1 The DC side capacitor current and capacitor voltage satisfy the following relationship:

[0094]

[0095] where 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, discretize equation (11), and 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 k+1 can be obtained, which can be represented 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 the formula (13) and the formula (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 moment can be obtained, and is expressed as:

[0104]

[0105] Therefore, in order to predict the voltage difference of the upper and lower capacitors of the distributed DC power supply unit at the k+1 moment, an additional current sensor is needed, which increases the cost and complexity of 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 selected voltage vector to the controlled object, and therefore, in order to accurately predict the load voltage, the gradient of the basic voltage vector to the load voltage needs to be obtained first. However, for a low-cost 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, in order 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 application adopts a "one-step estimation" strategy to realize the decoupling operation between state variables. Specifically, the strategy assumes that after applying a voltage vector in the entire control period, the estimated value of the inductor current is taken as the inductor current at the k 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 at the k moment in the 60-degree coordinate system.

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

[0112]

[0113] where f vog and f vohis the load voltage gradient in 60-degree coordinate system. Substitute equation (16) into equation (17) to decouple the operation, and discretize the load voltage gradient according to the forward Euler method, the discretized expression of the load voltage gradient is represented as:

[0114]

[0115] C. Establishing a prediction model

[0116] To achieve the control objectives of low output voltage ripple and low algorithm complexity, the present application selects three voltage vectors V v1 , V v2 and V v3 to synthesize the reference voltage in each control period, and the action time of the three voltage vectors is t1, t2 and t3 respectively. The above action time satisfies the following relationship:

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

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

[0119]

[0120] Wherein, 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.

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

[0122]

[0123] To achieve the multi-objective control of low output voltage ripple and balanced neutral point voltage on the DC side, the initial value function J0 can be represented as:

[0124]

[0125] Wherein, λ is the weight factor of the balanced neutral point voltage on the DC side.

[0126] D. Synthesis of virtual vector and neutral point voltage balance control

[0127] 1) Synthesis of virtual small vector

[0128] According to Figure 3 , after the high common-mode voltage vector is abandoned, the existing small vector is no longer in a redundant state, which brings great difficulty to the neutral point voltage balance control of the DC side. In view of the above problem, the newly synthesized six virtual small vectors and the existing small vectors constitute a new redundancy relationship, and then the DC neutral point voltage is flexibly controlled.

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

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

[0131] Among them, 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 corresponding real small vector of the virtual small vector, that is, the current flowing through the neutral point O.

[0132] The virtual small vector synthesized by the present application and its basic voltage vector combination is shown in Table 1.

[0133] Table 1 Virtual small vector and its basic voltage vector

[0134]

[0135]

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

[0137]

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

[0139] 2) Synthesis of virtual middle vector

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

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

[0142] Table 2 Virtual middle vector and its basic voltage vectors

[0143] Virtual middle vector Fundamental voltage vector i np ]]> V v7 ]]> [PNN], [PPN] 0 V v8 ]]> [PPN], [NPN] 0 V v9 ]]> [NPN], [NPP] 0 V v10 ]]> [NPP], [NNP] 0 V v11 ]]> [NNP], [PNP] 0 V v12 ]]> [PNP], [PNN] 0

[0144] The virtual middle vector V vx (x = 7, …, 12) and its basic voltage vectors need to satisfy the constraint condition:

[0145]

[0146] Where T vx is the action time of the virtual middle vector V vx , t1 and t2 are the action times of the basic voltage vectors V1 and V2, respectively.

[0147] 3) DC side neutral point voltage balance control

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

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

[0150]
