[0022] Dual three-level inverters offer advantages such as reduced costs and a simple system structure, as both inverters share a single power supply. However, a disadvantage is that the direct connection of the two inverters, sharing a single power supply, creates a zero-sequence path, generating zero-sequence current. This leads to the need to suppress the zero-sequence current and, at the same time, address the issue of midpoint potential balance within the dual three-level inverter. The present invention discloses a control method, apparatus, device, and product for a dual three-level inverter. By selecting a suitable clamping combination of a first three-level inverter and a second three-level inverter, this method suppresses zero-sequence current and balances the midpoint potential within the dual three-level inverter, improving the output performance of the dual three-level inverter while reducing the number of switching operations within the dual three-level inverter, thereby reducing switching losses.

[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a control method for a dual three-level inverter, the method comprising: Step S101: The dual three-level inverter is composed of a first three-level inverter and a second three-level inverter, and a zero-sequence current and a midpoint potential in the dual three-level inverter are obtained when the dual three-level inverter is in operation. Step S102: traverse all optional clamping combinations when the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter output the required AC voltage, and calculate the corresponding dual three-level inverter zero-sequence voltage and dual three-level inverter midpoint current; In this embodiment, all optional clamping combinations when the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter output AC voltages are traversed, and corresponding zero-sequence voltages and midpoint currents of the dual three-level inverters are calculated. This includes: the zero-sequence voltage of the dual three-level inverter is a difference between a zero-sequence voltage generated by the first three-level inverter and a zero-sequence voltage generated by the second three-level inverter; and the midpoint current of the dual three-level inverter is a difference between a midpoint current generated by the first three-level inverter and a midpoint current generated by the second three-level inverter.

[0025] In this embodiment, based on 180-degree decoupling, the following relationship exists: ; in, V ref is the synthetic voltage vector of the dual three-level inverter system, V ref1 is the resultant voltage vector of the first three-level inverter, V ref2 is the resultant voltage vector of the second three-level inverter; Furthermore, the zero-sequence voltage of the dual three-level inverter has the following relationship: ; in, is the zero-sequence voltage of the dual three-level inverter; is the zero-sequence voltage generated by the first three-level inverter; is the zero-sequence voltage generated by the second three-level inverter; Furthermore, there is the following relationship: ; in, is the midpoint current of the dual three-level inverter; is the midpoint current generated by the first three-level inverter; is the midpoint current generated by the second three-level inverter; Step S103: Selecting a clamping combination corresponding to the case where the zero-sequence voltage and the zero-sequence current are opposite in positive and negative directions, and the midpoint current and the midpoint potential are opposite in positive and negative directions, as the clamping combination selected by the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter.

[0026] Furthermore, for example, the following relationship is known to exist: ; in, Indicates the zero-sequence current of the dual three-level inverter, Indicates the zero-sequence voltage of the dual three-level inverter; Therefore, when the selected clamp combination makes the zero-sequence voltage and the zero-sequence current in opposite directions, the zero-sequence current can be clamped. inhibition; For example, the following relationship is known to exist: ; in, Indicates the midpoint potential of the dual three-level inverter, Indicates the midpoint current of the dual three-level inverter; Therefore, when the selected clamp combination makes the midpoint current and the midpoint potential in opposite directions, the midpoint potential can be The balancing effect; In the previous embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, the zero-sequence voltage generated by the first three-level inverter is an average zero-sequence voltage generated by the first three-level inverter within one carrier cycle; and the zero-sequence voltage generated by the second three-level inverter is an average zero-sequence voltage generated by the second three-level inverter within one carrier cycle.

[0027] In the previous embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, the average zero-sequence voltage of the first three-level inverter is an average value of the product of the voltage values of the switching states of the zero vector, the one vector, and the two vectors of the first three-level inverter with respect to the midpoint of the DC side and the corresponding action time within one carrier cycle; and the average zero-sequence voltage of the second three-level inverter is an average value of the product of the voltage values of the switching states of the zero vector, the one vector, and the two vectors of the second three-level inverter with respect to the midpoint of the DC side and the corresponding action time within one carrier cycle.

[0028] In this embodiment, illustratively, there is the following relationship: ; in, Indicates the zero-sequence voltage of the dual three-level inverter; Represents a carrier cycle; T 0 、T 1 as well as T2 Indicates the action time of zero vector, one vector and two vectors within a carrier cycle; V 0x 、 V 1x 、V 2x are the switching states of the zero vector, one vector, and two vectors of the current inverter x (x=1, 2; x=1 is the first three-level inverter, x=2 is the second three-level inverter) with respect to the voltage at the DC side midpoint; For example, V 11 When it is a vector ONN state, V 11 = - ; For example, when inverter 1 generates vectors in the first and second small sectors of the first large sector, the following relationship exists: ; in, Represents a carrier cycle; =max( A , B , C ), =mid( A , B , C ), =min( A , B , C ), 、 as well as Respectively represent the maximum value, the middle value and the minimum value; A , B , C It is the A, B, and C three-phase reference voltage of any inverter.

[0029] In the previous embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, the midpoint current generated by the first three-level inverter is an average midpoint current of the first three-level inverter within one carrier cycle, and the midpoint current generated by the second three-level inverter is an average midpoint current of the second three-level inverter within one carrier cycle.

[0030] For example, there is the following relationship ; in, Indicates the midpoint current of the dual three-level inverter; is the DC side voltage of the dual three-level inverter; yes Can represent Three-phase, The first three-level inverter Phase reference voltage, The second three-level inverter The phase reference voltage can be obtained from the motor system through the double closed-loop control part; It corresponds Phase current; In the previous embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, all optional clamping combinations include: all clamping combinations in which one phase is fixed at an optional clamp when the first three-level inverter outputs the required AC voltage and one phase is fixed at an optional clamp when the second three-level inverter outputs the required AC voltage.

[0031] For example, Figure 3 As shown in FIG, when the voltage vector synthesized by the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter is in the 1st and 2nd small sectors of the first large sector and the 1st and 2nd small sectors of the fourth large sector, all existing clamping states are combined, and then the positive and negative states of the corresponding zero-sequence voltage and midpoint current are calculated, as shown in Table 1: Table 1: Zero-sequence voltage and midpoint current status in the first large sector 1 and the second small sector

[0032] In Table 1, “+” represents that the current zero-sequence voltage or midpoint current state is positive, “-” represents that the current zero-sequence voltage or midpoint current state is negative, “\” represents that the positive and negative states of the zero-sequence voltage in this small sector are not unique, and “0” represents that the midpoint current in the current combination is zero.

[0033] Furthermore, a clamping combination corresponding to when the zero-sequence voltage and the zero-sequence current are in opposite directions and the midpoint current and the midpoint potential are in opposite directions is selected as the clamping combination selected by the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter.

[0034] Furthermore, based on the above clamping combinations, the clamping combinations can be further screened according to the following criteria: the zero-sequence voltage or midpoint current has the same positive and negative states in small sectors 1 and 2 (adjacent small sectors) and does not contain "\" or "0". At the same time, the calculated zero-sequence voltage is excluded, and the clamping combinations in Table 2 are obtained as the retained clamping combinations for the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter: Table 2 Zero-sequence voltage and midpoint current corresponding to the inverter clamping state

[0035] In this embodiment, according to the positive and negative states of the zero-sequence current and the mid-point potential in the current system, the zero-sequence current is used as the horizontal axis and the mid-point potential is used as the vertical axis. According to the obtained positive and negative states, it is divided into four quadrants. According to the zero-sequence current and the mid-point potential in the current system, the two inverters respectively select the corresponding clamping state with suppression and balancing effects to suppress and balance the zero-sequence current and the mid-point potential.

[0036] Similarly, when the voltage vector synthesized by the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter is in another large sector, the above process can also be used to select an appropriate clamping combination for the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter, thereby achieving zero-sequence current suppression and midpoint potential balance of the dual three-level inverter in the dual three-level inverter. At the same time, because both the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter have limited clamping, the number of switching operations of the dual three-level inverter is reduced, thereby reducing switching losses.

[0037] Compared with the traditional method for suppressing zero-sequence current, the present invention does not add additional third harmonics to the current.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also discloses a control device for a dual three-level inverter, comprising: An acquisition module 401 is configured to acquire a zero-sequence current and a midpoint potential in the dual three-level inverter when the dual three-level inverter is in operation; the dual three-level inverter is composed of a first three-level inverter and a second three-level inverter; a calculation module 402 configured to traverse all optional clamping combinations when the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter output the required AC voltage, and calculate the corresponding zero-sequence voltage of the dual three-level inverter and the midpoint current of the dual three-level inverter; The selection module 403 is configured to select a clamping combination corresponding to when the zero-sequence voltage and the zero-sequence current are opposite in positive and negative directions, and the midpoint current and the midpoint potential are opposite in positive and negative directions, as the clamping combination selected by the first three-level inverter and the second three-level inverter.
