[0003] However, the magnetic network energy router has multiple ports and the characteristic of high power coupling between ports, resulting in very complex interactions between the sub-networks of each port of the energy router. Using the traditional impedance analysis method to establish a model is computationally complex and difficult to accurately describe the coupling characteristics of the multi-port system. Ignoring the external characteristics of the port sub-network will lead to significant deviations in the analysis of the system impedance model and operating characteristics. Summary of the Invention

By solving the correction parameters of the additional components to the system under special working conditions, the impedance model of the system considering the influence of the additional components under general operating conditions is obtained, reducing the difficulty of system modeling and providing a theoretical support for analyzing the operating stability of the system.

The four-port energy router includes a four-winding transformer and the first to fourth full-bridge converters. The four-port energy router controls each full-bridge converter through a single-phase-shift control strategy with voltage closed-loop to achieve constant bus voltages at the second to fourth ports. The first to fourth full-bridge converters utilize the magnetic coupling effect of the four-winding transformer to achieve power transmission between ports. The method includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1, establish the equivalent circuits of the sub-networks of each port of the four-port energy router, and considering the disturbances of the bus voltages and phase-shift control signals of the energy router ports, construct a small-signal model of the four-port energy router in the frequency domain;

[0009] Step 3: Add additional elements to the corresponding ports of the four-port energy router one by one. For each added additional element, solve the new equivalent circuit formed after adding the current additional element to obtain the driving-point impedance and zero-driving impedance of the current additional element, and then obtain the impedance correction factor of the impedance model of the sub-network corresponding to the current additional element for the i-th port under general operating conditions;

[0010] Step 4: Based on the additional element theorem, integrate the impedance correction factors of all port sub-networks obtained in Step 3 into the impedance model of the i-th port under the ideal operating state without considering the external characteristics of the sub-network, so as to obtain the impedance model of the energy router considering the coupling of the external characteristics of all port sub-networks.

[0020] The following details the implementation manners of the present invention. The examples of the implementation manners are shown in the accompanying drawings. The implementation manners described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] Figure 1 Shown is the system topology structure and control circuit of the four-port magnetic network energy router. The four-port magnetic network energy router includes a four-winding transformer and four full-bridge converters. The four-port energy router controls each full-bridge converter through a single-phase-shift control strategy with voltage closed-loop to achieve constant bus voltages at the second to fourth ports. The first to fourth full-bridge converters utilize the magnetic coupling effect of the four-winding transformer to achieve power transmission between ports. The port 1 sub-network uses a Thevenin equivalent circuit with an ideal voltage source and an equivalent impedance in series to simulate the external characteristics of the power sub-network, and the ports 2 to 4 use a Norton equivalent circuit with an ideal current source and an equivalent impedance in parallel to simulate the external characteristics of the load sub-network.

[0022] The present invention provides a method for impedance modeling of a four-port magnetic network energy router considering the external characteristics of port sub-networks, including the following steps:

[0023] S1. Considering the disturbances of the bus voltages and control signals of the energy router ports, construct a small-signal model of the energy router system adopting voltage-loop phase-shift control in the frequency domain;

[0024] Assume that each port is reduced to port 1. Then, according to the operating characteristics of the magnetic network energy router, the average value of the port current within the switching period can be obtained as:

[0025]

[0026] Among them, L ij is the equivalent link inductance between ports i and j, n i is the number of turns of the transformer at port i, f s is the switching frequency of the full-bridge converter, V iis the bus voltage of port i, φ ij is the phase difference between port i and port j, d ij = φ ij / π.

[0027] Based on the expression of port current, the perturbation signals considering the bus voltage and control signal are obtained Figure 2 The small-signal model of the four-port magnetic network energy router system and the control loop shown below is as follows:

[0028]

[0029] Among them, are the perturbation signals corresponding to the current, voltage of port i, and the phase-shift angle of the drive signal between port i and port 1, respectively. G PI2 、G PI3 、G PI4 are all controller transfer functions in the loop. Define the variable Then the expressions of each element in the above matrix are:

[0030]

[0031] Among them, the superscript on the horizontal line represents the steady-state value of the corresponding variable.

[0032] S2. Take the equivalent impedance of each port sub-network as an additional element, remove the influence of all additional elements in the system, and calculate the frequency-domain expression Z Li (s) of the impedance of port i of the system in the ideal operating state without considering the external characteristics of the sub-network;

[0033] Take the equivalent impedance of the sub-network as an additional element of the system. By removing the influence of the equivalent impedance of the sub-network, the equivalent circuit of the system in the ideal operating condition can be obtained. The parametric limit method can be used to eliminate its coupling effect on the system. There are two specific implementation methods: increasing or decreasing the modulus value of the additional element to make it tend to infinity or 0, which is equivalent to performing an open-circuit or short-circuit treatment on the port where the additional element is located for the additional element. Usually, for the Thevenin equivalent circuit, the additional element can be made to tend to 0, while for the Norton equivalent circuit, the additional element can be made to tend to infinity, so as to eliminate the non-ideal characteristics of the voltage source or current source in the equivalent circuit.

[0034] After removing all additional elements in the system, calculate the ratio of the voltage perturbation signal to the current perturbation signal at the common connection point between the bus of the port whose impedance is to be calculated and the sub-network, and the obtained frequency-domain transfer function is the impedance Z Li (s) expression of the energy router neglecting the external characteristics of the sub-network.

[0035] S3. Add the additional elements to the corresponding ports of the energy router one by one, and solve the driving-point impedance Z D(s) and zero driving impedance Z N (s), and then obtain the impedance correction factor of the impedance model of the port sub-network corresponding to the current additional element for port i under general working conditions;

[0036] Add additional elements to the system one by one to form a new equivalent circuit. By solving the driving point impedance and zero driving impedance of the additional element in the newly formed equivalent circuit under special working conditions, obtain the impedance correction factor for port i under general working conditions after adding the additional element, which is used to account for the influence of the external characteristics of the sub-network corresponding to the additional element on the system impedance model. According to the two treatment methods of short-circuiting or opening the additional element corresponding to the port when removing the port additional element, the expression forms of the correction factor are respectively:

[0037]

[0038] Among them, Z D , Z N are respectively the driving point impedance and zero driving impedance of the additional element for the impedance model to be solved.

[0039] For the Thevenin equivalent circuit, when the additional element is short-circuited, the correction factor in the form of H 1 (s) can be used, while for the Norton equivalent circuit when it is open-circuited, the correction factor in the form of H 2 (s) is used. That is, the impedance correction factor H1(s) of the impedance model of the first port sub-network for port i under general working conditions is:

[0040]

[0041] Among them, Z1(s) is the equivalent impedance in the equivalent circuit of the first port sub-network, and Z 1_D (s), Z 1_N (s) are respectively the driving point impedance and zero driving impedance of the impedance model of the first port sub-network for the i-th port;

[0042] The impedance correction factors of the impedance models of the second, third, and fourth port sub-networks for the i-th port under general working conditions are respectively:

[0043]

[0044] Among them, Z2(s), Z3(s), and Z4(s) are respectively the equivalent impedances in the equivalent circuits of the second, third, and fourth port sub-networks; Z 2_D (s), Z 2_N (s) are respectively the driving point impedance and zero driving impedance of the impedance model of the second port sub-network for the i-th port; Z 3_D (s), Z 3_N(s) are the driving-point impedance and zero-drive impedance of the third-port sub-network with respect to the impedance model of the i-th port; Z 4_D (s), Z 4_N (s) are the driving-point impedance and zero-drive impedance of the fourth-port sub-network with respect to the impedance model of the i-th port.

[0045] To solve the correction factor, two special operating conditions need to be selected to calculate the equivalent impedance observed by the system from the additional port, corresponding to the driving-point impedance Z D (s) and the zero-drive impedance Z N (s). Replace the additional element with a current source to form a new equivalent circuit. The ratio of the voltage perturbation signal at both ends of the current source to the output current perturbation signal is the equivalent impedance observed from the additional element. Set the current perturbation signal flowing through the equivalent circuit of the sub-network at the impedance port i to be solved to 0, and calculate the equivalent impedance observed from the additional element at this time, which is the driving-point impedance Z D (s); by adjusting the output current perturbation signal of the current source replacing the additional element, the equivalent impedance observed from the additional element when the output voltage perturbation signal of the equivalent circuit of the sub-network at the impedance port to be solved is 0 is the zero-drive point impedance Z N (s), as shown in Figure 3 (a) and (b).

[0046] It should be noted that when an additional element is added to the corresponding port, when forming the equivalent circuit of subsequent other additional elements to solve the driving-point impedance and zero-drive point impedance, the added additional element does not need to be removed.

[0047] S4. After gradually calculating the correction factors corresponding to the additional elements of all ports, based on the additional element theorem, integrate all the correction factors into the ideal system impedance Z Li (s) that does not consider the external characteristics of the sub-network, so as to obtain the impedance model Z Li_c (s) of the energy router considering the coupling of the external characteristics of all-port sub-networks;

[0048] Integrate the correction parameters corresponding to all accessory elements based on the additional element theorem. The influence of the external characteristics of each port sub-network on the impedance model of the energy router is incorporated into the system impedance model through the correction factor, so as to obtain the accurate impedance model of the energy router system considering the external characteristics of all-port sub-networks as follows:

[0049]

[0050] Figure 4It is the swept frequency result of the impedance model of the load port of the energy router. Due to the coupling of switch ripple and the aliasing of discrete sampling, errors occur in the output impedance scanning result near the switch frequency of 10 kHz of the energy router. Generally, the theoretical calculation result is in good agreement with the simulation experiment scanning result, which proves the correctness of the established impedance model of the energy router.
