Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of AC-DC power conversion technology, and in particular to a low-cost charging pile topology and modulation strategy for the "fast charge-slow discharge" scenario of electric vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of the global low-carbon transformation of the energy structure, the new energy vehicle industry has become the core carrier for achieving the "dual carbon" strategy, which has promoted the construction and development of fast charging piles.

[0003] However, existing V2G charging stations focus on providing fast-charging power during charging mode. When electric vehicles are connected to the grid as distributed power sources for discharge, owners often prefer not to discharge at high power levels due to concerns about battery life. This bidirectional power asymmetry results in low equipment utilization. Due to the "fast charging and slow discharge" requirements of electric vehicles, charging stations in current fast-charging stations face severe technical challenges. To improve equipment utilization, a high-overload solution can leverage the high-overload characteristics of the equipment to provide fast-charging power during charging, while also ensuring the rated power of the equipment meets the "slow discharge" requirements of electric vehicles. However, in engineering, most high-overload solutions employ over-capacity, significantly increasing system costs while failing to fundamentally address the equipment utilization issue.

[0004] There are also related studies on achieving high overload in converters, mainly focusing on modulation strategies and heat dissipation structures: 1. Reducing the temperature rise of power devices by adjusting the switching frequency or changing the modulation strategy, but this method is not very effective and will lead to a decrease in the quality of the converter's output power; 2. Improving the heat dissipation structure and improving the heat dissipation performance can suppress the temperature rise of power devices, but this solution has little effect on instantaneous temperature changes.

[0005] In summary, existing high overload solutions for converters have many drawbacks, such as excessive costs and poor power quality. Therefore, a new solution is urgently needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] In order to ensure equipment utilization, a high overload solution can be adopted to meet the needs of "fast charging and slow discharge" of electric vehicles. The existing high overload solution mainly improves the thermal characteristics of the power module by optimizing the modulation strategy and thermal management design. However, due to the many limitations of the existing high overload solution, this patent proposes a collaborative optimization solution of topology structure and modulation strategy, including a new low-cost charging pile topology and its modulation strategy for the "fast charging and slow discharge" scenario of electric vehicles, aiming to ensure equipment utilization while improving the active power output capacity of the charging pile in charging mode, and realizing the "fast charging" operation of the charging pile exceeding the rated power. From a thermodynamic point of view, the "fast charging" operation of the charging pile exceeding the rated power can be characterized as follows: when the junction temperature of any power device in the power module reaches a preset threshold (set to 125°C in this article), the charging pile has the ability to output active power exceeding the rated power in charging mode.

[0042] When the TNPC topology converter operates in rectification mode, when the main bridge arm power device is turned on, the current only flows through its anti-parallel diode; when the neutral point clamped power device is turned on, the current flows through the turned-on IGBT and the diode connected in series with it. Based on this, if the power loss of the diode in the main bridge arm can be reduced, and at the same time, the power loss of the power module can be balanced by changing the conduction time of the neutral point clamped power device, the thermal stress of the power device when the converter outputs active power will be reduced, thereby effectively improving the active output capacity of the charging pile in the charging mode. Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a low-cost charging pile topology for the "fast charge-slow discharge" scenario of electric vehicles, including: a DC side capacitor, a three-phase TNPC bridge arm, a shunt diode, an AC filter inductor, a communication unit, a sampling and calculation unit, and a drive signal generation unit;

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the DC side capacitor consists of two capacitors C dc1 with C dc2 The three-phase TNPC bridge arm is composed of IGBTs with anti-parallel diodes. Each phase bridge arm adopts EasyPack TM Module, each module is placed on a heat sink. There are 4 groups of IGBT in the module, denoted as T x1 -T x4 (x=a,b,c), where T x3 and T x4 Reverse series connection, one end is connected to the neutral point O, the other end is connected to the charging pile input terminal, T x1 and T x2 The midpoint of the series connection is connected to the charging pile input. The three-phase shunt diodes are placed on the same heat sink and are connected in parallel to T x1 and T x2 Both ends, denoted as D x1_div and D x2_divIts direction is consistent with the direction of the anti-parallel diode in the IGBT module, which is used to provide a shunt channel. The sampling unit collects the relevant data of the main circuit and sends it to the STM32F28335, and then generates the modulation wave through the calculation unit. The control block diagram is as follows Figure 2 The drive signal generation unit converts the signal generated by comparing the modulated wave with the carrier wave into a drive level to realize the IGBT operation.

[0044] The working principle of the proposed low-cost charging pile topology and its modulation strategy for the "fast charging and slow discharging" scenario of electric vehicles is described in detail as follows:

[0045] Considering the operating condition of a charging pile outputting active power in charging mode, the three-level modulation mode and the two-level modulation mode can be applied to the TNPC topology.

[0046] When the three-level modulation mode is applied, the charging pile has three switching states, as shown in Table 1.

[0047] Table 1 Switch status in three-level mode

[0048]

[0049] When the modulation wave is in the positive half cycle, the circuit switch state switches between P and O. When the switch state is P state, T x1 、T x3 is turned on, and current will flow through D x1 and D x1_div ; When the switch state is O state, T x3 、T x4 is turned on, and the current will flow through T x4 and D x3 Therefore, when the modulation wave is in the positive half cycle, due to the presence of the shunt diode, the current flowing through D x1 The current is small, and the EasyPack TM The device with the highest thermal stress in the module is T x4 and D x3 .

[0050] Similarly, when the modulation wave is in the negative half cycle, the circuit switch state switches between N and O. When the switch state is N, T x2 、T x4 is turned on, and current will flow through D x2 and D x2 div ; When the switch state is O state, T x3 、T x4 is turned on, and the current will flow through T x3 and D x4 Therefore, when the modulation wave is in the negative half cycle, due to the presence of the shunt diode, the current flowing through Dx2 The current is small, and the EasyPack TM The device with the highest thermal stress in the module is T x3 and D x4 .

[0051] It can be concluded that when applied in the three-level modulation mode, the device with the highest thermal stress in the proposed charging pile topology is the neutral point clamped power device. The driving signals of each IGBT in one cycle in the three-level modulation mode are as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0052] When the two-level modulation mode is applied, the charging pile has two switching states, as shown in Table 2.

[0053] Table 2 Switch status in two-level mode

[0054]

[0055] At this time, since the neutral point clamped power device is not conducting, when applied in the two-level modulation mode, the device with the highest thermal stress in the proposed charging pile topology is the main bridge arm power device. In the two-level modulation mode, the driving signals of each IGBT in one cycle are as follows: Figure 4 shown

[0056] In summary, an adaptive modulation strategy for switching between three-level and two-level modulation modes is proposed to balance the losses of the main bridge arm and the neutral point clamped power devices and reduce the EasyPack TM The thermal stress of the entire module is reduced, thereby further improving the active output capacity of the charging pile in charging mode while ensuring equipment utilization. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0057] In order to ensure T x1 and T x2 、T x3 and T x4 To balance the losses, it is necessary to ensure the symmetry of its conduction. Therefore, consider switching to two levels in the interval θ∈([1-k]π,[1+k]π), where θ is the phase of the modulation wave and k is the duty cycle of the two-level modulation mode. The temperature difference between the main bridge arm power device and the neutral point clamped power device is controlled within a certain range (the temperature difference threshold is taken as 35°C in this article) through the proportional link to obtain a duty cycle k, which is loaded at the beginning of each cycle to ensure the symmetry of the power device conduction and balance the thermal stress of the main bridge arm power device and the neutral point clamped power device. Under the adaptive modulation strategy, the driving signals of each IGBT in one cycle in steady state are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, k=0.77 at this time.

[0058] The simulation model of the proposed low-cost charging pile for the “fast charge-slow discharge” scenario of electric vehicles was built for verification on the Plecs simulation platform. The specific simulation parameters and device parameters are shown in Table 3.

[0059] Table 3 Simulation parameters

[0060]

[0061] In the simulation, the charging pile is considered to work in charging mode. Figure 6 The junction temperature of the power devices when the traditional TNPC topology adopts three-level modulation mode and outputs 100kW active power; Figure 7 The junction temperature of the power devices when the proposed charging pile topology adopts a three-level modulation mode and outputs 100kW of active power; Figure 8 The junction temperature of the power devices when the proposed charging pile topology adopts an adaptive modulation strategy and outputs 100kW of active power; Figure 9 The junction temperature of the power device when the proposed charging pile topology adopts an adaptive modulation strategy and outputs 165kW active power. x1 With T x2 、T x3 With T x4 The conduction conditions of the corresponding anti-parallel diodes are symmetrical, so only T is recorded here. x1 、D x1 、T x3 and D x3 Temperature data.

[0062] It can be seen that the proposed low-cost charging pile topology for the "fast charge-slow discharge" scenario of electric vehicles adds a shunt diode to the traditional TNPC topology, so that when the output active power is 100kW, D x1 The thermal stress of the main bridge arm power devices and the neutral point clamped power devices is greatly reduced, but the junction temperature of the neutral point clamped power devices is not suppressed. After the adaptive modulation strategy is adopted, the thermal stress of the main bridge arm power devices and the neutral point clamped power devices is balanced, reducing the thermal stress of the entire EasyPack. TM The thermal stress of the module is reduced, enabling the charging pile to operate at a "fast charge" of 65% over the rated power.

[0063] The embodiment of the present invention does not significantly increase the cost of the charging pile. The traditional TNPC topology power circuit part includes 3 EasyPack TMThe cost of the modules, DC capacitors, filter inductors, etc., is approximately 10,000 yuan; the control system includes DSP chips, sampling chips, power supply chips, etc., costing approximately 1,000 yuan; the protection system includes AC circuit breakers, DC circuit breakers, etc., costing approximately 3,000 yuan; the heat dissipation system includes radiators, fans, etc., costing approximately 1,000 yuan; and the cabinet costs approximately 4,000 yuan. Considering only the above costs, the total cost is approximately 19,000 yuan. The charging pile topology proposed in this patent adds three shunt diodes, costing approximately 1,000 yuan, for a total cost of approximately 20,000 yuan. With the cost only increasing by 5.3%, the active output capacity of the charging pile in charging mode increases by 65%.

[0064] Although the preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art may make additional changes and modifications to these embodiments once they have learned the basic creative concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present application.

[0065] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of this application fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application is intended to include these modifications and variations.
