[0037] 2) Using 2300V IGBTs or higher specification IGBTs with the same topology, compared with the five-level topology, the cost of achieving grid connection with the same voltage and power is higher.

[0038] 3) Using low-voltage devices has a lower du / dt and di / dt, which can reduce system noise and interference.

[0039] 4) The application of low-voltage power devices can reduce the safety standard level inside the power module and realize miniaturized design.

[0040] 5) It is beneficial for system heat dissipation and structural current-carrying design.

[0041] 6) It can further reduce grid-connected harmonics and reduce the size of system magnetic devices.

[0042] 7) It is beneficial for the later maintenance and expansion of system equipment. Description of the Drawings

[0051] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] As Figure 1 shown, a new type of wind power converter includes a power unit, a power grid connection, and a generator. The power grid connection is respectively connected to the grid-side power unit 1 and the generator circuit. The power unit adopts a five-level topology power unit structure. The number of power units is two, which are respectively arranged on the machine side and the grid side. The grid-side power unit 1 and the machine-side power unit 2 are connected by a circuit. The grid-side power unit 1 and the machine-side power unit 2 are respectively connected to the grid-side controller 3 and the machine-side controller 4 correspondingly. The grid-side controller 3 and the machine-side controller 4 are connected by a circuit. The grid-side controller 3 is connected to the DC unloading circuit 5. The DC unloading circuit 5 is respectively connected to the positive and negative connection circuits between the grid-side power unit 1 and the machine-side power unit 2. The machine-side controller 4 is connected to the three-phase power supply circuit between the machine-side power unit 2 and the generator through the crowbar circuit 6.

[0054] The working principle of this solution is as follows. The power conversion between the power grid and the generator is carried out through the five-level topology power unit structure. The grid-side power unit 1 and the machine-side power unit 2 are controlled by the grid-side controller 3 and the machine-side controller 4 respectively. In this embodiment, the controller circuit is composed of a DSP controller, a wave generation circuit, a sampling circuit, a communication circuit, etc. The circuit structures of the grid-side controller 3 and the machine-side controller 4 are the same. The DC unloading circuit 5, i.e., the chopper circuit, is used to chop the wave and discharge the bus. The chopper circuit is a mature circuit idea in the art and will change according to the topology changes of the grid-side and machine-side power units. In use, the bus is divided into several groups according to the circuit topology, and the device selection and the number of choppers used are determined according to the number of groups. The crowbar circuit 6 is used for overvoltage / overcurrent protection.

[0055] As Figure 2 shown, it can be seen from the waveforms in the figure that compared with the three-level, the same bus voltage will be divided into more equal parts, the voltage applied to the reactance each time is smaller, and the corresponding high-frequency ripple will be smaller. Under the same output voltage, the withstand voltage of the switching device will be reduced. For example, in an 1800V system, if it is designed according to the three-level, IGBTs with a withstand voltage of 2300V need to be selected, while if it is designed according to the five-level, only IGBTs with a withstand voltage of 1700V need to be selected, and the corresponding cost will be lower and the loss will also be lower.

[0056] Furthermore, the five-level topology power unit structure of the power unit adopts a clamped topology, a flying capacitor topology, or a cascaded topology. In actual use, various hybrid topologies can be adopted according to needs.

[0100] The circuit where the capacitor C1 and the capacitor C2 are connected is connected to the circuit connecting the power switch tube group Sa6 and the power switch tube group Sa7 set on the topologies a, b and c.

[0101] The power switch tube group Sa5 is set with two power switch tubes Sa5 connected in series. The power switch tube group Sa6 is set with two power switch tubes Sa6 connected in series. The power switch tube group Sa7 is set with two power switch tubes Sa7 connected in series. The power switch tube group Sa8 is set with two power switch tubes Sa8 connected in series.

[0102] In this embodiment, this embodiment includes the topologies of three-phase electricity of a, b, and c, and the structures of topologies a, b, and c are the same. Taking topology a as an example for illustration:

[0103] By controlling the actions of the signals Sa1 - Sa8 of the switching tubes, each of the a, b, and c phases can output eight switching states and correspond to five levels. The following circuit paths respectively correspond to the current paths formed by 4 action combinations in the positive half cycle, and the specific paths are as follows.

[0104] Route 1 is from the power switching tube group Sa5, sequentially passing through the power switching tube Sa3, the power switching tube Sa1, the inductor coil L to the resistor R.

[0105] Route 2 is from the power switching tube group Sa5, sequentially passing through the power switching tube Sa3, the power switching tube Sa2, the inductor coil L to the resistor R.

[0106] Route 3 is from the power switching tube group Sa6, sequentially passing through the power switching tube Sa3, the capacitor Cfa, the power switching tube Sa2, the inductor coil L to the resistor R.

[0107] Route 4 is from the power switching tube group Sa6, sequentially passing through the power switching tube Sa3, the power switching tube Sa1, the inductor coil L to the resistor R.

[0108] The levels corresponding to the above routes are U / 2, U / 4, U / 4, 0 in sequence. Similarly, the levels corresponding to the negative half cycle are -U / 2, -U / 4, -U / 4, 0 in sequence; combined, it is a five-level.

[0109] Furthermore, the power switching tube group Sa5 is set with two power switching tubes Sa5 connected in series, the power switching tube group Sa6 is set with two power switching tubes Sa6 connected in series, the power switching tube group Sa7 is set with two power switching tubes Sa7 connected in series, and the power switching tube group Sa8 is set with two power switching tubes Sa8 connected in series. This is because the withstand voltage requirement of the power switching tubes at this position is U / 2 and two need to be used in series, or select a power switching tube whose withstand voltage is twice that of other devices.
