[0044] Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of a second embodiment of the structure of the present invention;
[0045] Figure 3 This is a circuit diagram of the power unit structure of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0046] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] Please see Figure 1 An energy storage converter includes several bridge arms, a capacity capacitor C1, a capacity capacitor C2, and each of the several bridge arms includes an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm, and each of the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm includes N power units and reactors.
[0049] Each of the N power units includes a fully controlled power semiconductor device Q1, a fully controlled power semiconductor device Q2, a fully controlled power semiconductor device Q3, a fully controlled power semiconductor device Q4, and a capacitor C. The operating voltage across the capacitors of all N power units is Uc. The DC voltage range of this energy storage converter is 0 to N•Uc, and the AC voltage range is 0 to N•Uc / N is a natural number and is not less than 2.
[0050] The connection point of the fully controlled power semiconductor device Q1 and the fully controlled power semiconductor device Q3 is the external connection point T1 of the power unit. The connection point of the fully controlled power semiconductor device Q2 and the fully controlled power semiconductor device Q4 is the external connection point T2 of the power unit. The fully controlled power semiconductor device Q1 is connected between the positive terminal of the capacitor and T1. The fully controlled power semiconductor device Q2 is connected between the positive terminal of the capacitor and T2. The fully controlled power semiconductor device Q3 is connected between the negative terminal of the capacitor and T1. The fully controlled power semiconductor device Q4 is connected between the negative terminal of the capacitor and T2.
[0051] The number of the bridge arms is three, and the three bridge arms are connected with phase line A, phase line B and phase line C respectively between the corresponding power grid, the upper half bridge arm is connected between the direct current positive and the alternating current phase line, and the lower half bridge arm is connected between the direct current negative and the alternating current phase line, and the energy storage converter is connected with a three-phase four-wire power grid and a neutral line D is led out at the connection point of the capacity capacitor C1 and the capacity capacitor C2.
[0052] In use, the three-phase four-wire power grid used by the energy storage converter includes four wires, namely three phase lines (L1, L2 and L3) and a neutral line D. In addition to the line voltage (usually 380V) between the phase lines, the three-phase four-wire power grid also provides a phase voltage between the phase lines and the neutral line D, which is usually 220V. The introduction of the neutral line D provides power for single-phase loads, and a complete circuit is formed between each phase line and the neutral line D, which makes the three-phase four-wire power grid particularly suitable for the energy storage converter circuit system, which can efficiently supply power to three-phase and single-phase loads at the same time.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 The energy storage converter is connected with a three-phase three-wire power grid, and a neutral line D is not led out at the connection point of the capacity capacitor C1 and the capacity capacitor C2.
[0054] In use, the three-phase three-wire power grid used by the energy storage converter is mainly composed of three wires, and the voltage between the three phase lines is called line voltage, which is usually 380V or other standard range in industrial applications. The three-phase three-wire power grid does not lead out a neutral line D, and the three transmission lines are spaced 120 degrees apart in phase angle, so that the load current can still be balanced without a neutral point. Moreover, if the load is completely balanced, the current at the neutral point is theoretically zero, so there is no need for a neutral line D. Therefore, this can create favorable conditions for the optimization of the use cost of the energy storage converter.
