In other words, the phase difference satisfies...

[0027]

[0028] Among them, T φ It is the phase difference between the trapezoidal wave currents output by the two transformers, and also the phase difference between the double-frequency positive trapezoidal wave currents output by the two converters after rectification by the low-voltage rectifier circuit. T is the transformer operating cycle, Tz is the transformer zero-current time, and Tc is the transformer current adjustment time.

[0029] Furthermore, both the first converter and the second converter can operate independently.

[0030] Furthermore, the connection order of the No. 1 and No. 2 converters to the A-phase, B-phase, and C-phase terminals of the three-phase AC power grid can also be interchanged; the input terminal of the medium-voltage AC voltage regulating circuit can also adopt a three-phase angle connection method.

[0031] Furthermore, the operation of the aforementioned high-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter can be divided into six stages:

[0032] Phase 1 [t0~t1]: T1 is on, T2 is off, and the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 is u. ac The current of T1 is controlled by submodule bridge arm S1 to be i ac Achieving unity power factor; the voltage of submodule bridge arm S2 is u ac -nU dc Apply voltage nU to the transformer dc The control transformer current is I dc / n, by actively adjusting the voltage applied to the transformer by the first and second bridge arms in the No. 1 transformer, a wide DC voltage range operation is achieved;

[0033] Phase 2 [t1~t2]: The voltage of submodule bridge arm S2 changes from u ac -nU dc Upgrade to u ac The voltage change time corresponding to the preparation for thyristor commutation is defined as T. u At time t2, the voltage across thyristor T2 is approximately zero, achieving zero-voltage turn-on; during this process, the transformer voltage amplitude is less than nU. dc The DC-side diode is in the off state, and the transformer current is zero. During the voltage rise of submodule bridge arm S2, submodule bridge arm S1 is sequentially switched on or off at short intervals to limit the du / dt generated on thyristor T2 and prevent false turn-on. du / dt is the voltage change per unit time.

[0034] Phase 3 [t2~t3]: This is the thyristor commutation phase. Both T1 and T2 are in the conducting state. By actively adjusting the voltages of the submodule bridge arms S1 and S2, commutation voltages U with opposite amplitudes are applied to the series inductors L1 and L2 of the two thyristors T1 and T2. T This causes the current in T1 to flow from i ac The current gradually decreases to zero, while the current in T2 gradually increases from zero to i. ac The di / dt current of thyristors T1 and T2 is limited to enable zero-current turn-off of T1. The time used in this stage is the commutation time T. c The current flowing through the thyristor is combined into i acTo ensure the continuity of the medium-voltage AC current, the transformer voltage amplitude is less than nU during this stage. dc The transformer current is zero; di / dt is the current changing per unit time.

[0035] Phase 4 [t3~t4]: After the current in T1 decreases to zero, adjust the voltage in S1 to u. ac +U R Actively apply back pressure U to T1 R The duration is T q T1 achieves reliable shutdown; at this time, the medium-voltage AC current is only borne by T2; T q Based on the thyristor turn-off time design, the turn-off time of ordinary thyristor modules is generally less than 400μs, while the turn-off time of fast-switching thyristors is generally between 25μs and 80μs.

[0036] Phase 5 [t4~t5]: T1 is off, T2 remains on; the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 gradually decreases to u. ac -nU dc During the voltage drop, du / dt is constrained;

[0037] Phase 6 [t5~t6]: Submodule bridge arm S2 supports medium-voltage AC voltage, and the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 is u. ac -nU dc The voltage difference between the bridge arms maintains the DC voltage and controls the DC current. By adjusting the voltage of the submodule bridge arm S1, the voltage amplitude of the transformer is changed, thus achieving wide voltage range operation.

[0038] A control method for a high-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter is proposed, which includes...

[0039] Phase 1 [t0~t1]: T1 is on, T2 is off, and the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 is u. ac The current of T1 is controlled by submodule bridge arm S1 to be i ac Achieving unity power factor; the voltage of submodule bridge arm S2 is u ac -nU dc Apply voltage nU to the transformer dc The control transformer current is I dc / n, a method to achieve wide DC voltage range operation by actively adjusting the voltage applied to the transformer by the first and second bridge arms in the first transformer;

[0040] Phase 2 [t1~t2]: The voltage of submodule bridge arm S2 changes from u ac -nU dc Upgrade to u ac The voltage change time corresponding to the preparation for thyristor commutation is defined as T. uAt time t2, the voltage across thyristor T2 is approximately zero, achieving zero-voltage turn-on; during this process, the transformer voltage amplitude is less than nU. dc The DC-side diode is in the off state, and the transformer current is zero. During the voltage rise of submodule bridge arm S2, submodule bridge arm S1 is sequentially switched on or off at short intervals to limit the du / dt generated on thyristor T2 and prevent false turn-on. du / dt is the voltage change per unit time.

[0041] Phase 3 [t2~t3]: This is the thyristor commutation phase. Both T1 and T2 are in the conducting state. By actively adjusting the voltages of the submodule bridge arms S1 and S2, commutation voltages U with opposite amplitudes are applied to the series inductors L1 and L2 of the two thyristors T1 and T2. T This causes the current in T1 to flow from i ac The current gradually decreases to zero, while the current in T2 gradually increases from zero to i. ac The di / dt current of thyristors T1 and T2 is limited to enable zero-current turn-off of T1. The time used in this stage is the commutation time T. c The current flowing through the thyristor is combined into i ac To ensure the continuity of the medium-voltage AC current, the transformer voltage amplitude is less than nU during this stage. dc Methods to make the transformer current zero; di / dt is the current flowing per unit time;

[0042] Phase 4 [t3~t4]: After the current in T1 decreases to zero, adjust the voltage in S1 to u. ac +U R Actively apply back pressure U to T1 R The duration is T q T1 achieves reliable shutdown; at this time, the medium-voltage AC current is only borne by T2; T q Based on the thyristor turn-off time design, the turn-off time of ordinary thyristor modules is generally less than 400μs, while the turn-off time of fast-switching thyristors is generally between 25μs and 80μs.

[0043] Phase 5 [t4~t5]: T1 is off, T2 remains on; the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 gradually decreases to u. ac -nU dc A method for constraining du / dt during voltage drop;

[0044] Phase 6 [t5~t6]: Submodule bridge arm S2 supports medium-voltage AC voltage, and the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 is u. ac -nU dc The voltage difference between the bridge arms maintains the DC voltage and controls the DC current. By adjusting the voltage of the submodule bridge arm S1, the transformer voltage amplitude is changed, thus achieving a wide voltage range operation method.

[0045] Thyristor conduction mode 1: When the medium-voltage AC current is in the positive half-cycle of a power frequency cycle, the anti-parallel thyristor valve groups T1 and T2 are alternately turned on, and the number of turns is the same, alternately sharing the medium-voltage AC current; when the medium-voltage AC current drops to 0, the original forward conduction of T2 is naturally turned off, and T2 is turned on in reverse. The sub-module bridge arm S2 connected in series with T2 continues to support the medium-voltage AC voltage. In order to ensure continuous power transmission, the voltage of bridge arm S1 rises so that the voltage difference between the two bridge arms provides the transformer voltage. Thereafter, S1 and S2 alternately bear the medium-voltage AC voltage. Since the thyristor conduction sequence is reversed at the zero crossing of the medium-voltage AC current, the maximum voltage stress of the bridge arm is the medium-voltage AC voltage, and the maximum current stress is the transformer current.

[0046] Thyristor conduction mode two: The conduction timing of the thyristor valve group remains constant, that is, the anti-parallel thyristor valve groups T1 and T2 always maintain periodic alternating conduction. When the medium voltage AC current drops to 0, the original forward conduction of T2 naturally turns off, and T1 turns on in reverse to complete the switching. At this time, the sub-module bridge arm S1 connected in series with T1 supports the medium voltage AC voltage. In order to ensure continuous power transmission, the voltage of the S2 bridge arm drops, and the voltage difference between the two bridge arms provides the transformer voltage. Thereafter, S1 and S2 alternately bear the medium voltage AC voltage. The maximum voltage stress of the bridge arm is the medium voltage AC voltage plus the transformer voltage. When the bridge arm supports the medium voltage AC voltage, it also needs to provide transformer current. Therefore, under this thyristor switching logic, the maximum current stress of the bridge arm is the transformer current plus the medium voltage AC current.

[0047] Beneficial Effects: A high-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter and its control method mainly utilize anti-parallel thyristor valve groups and submodule bridge arms to achieve wide voltage output, requiring only one AC-DC conversion and fewer conversion stages. The periodic switching conduction timing of the thyristor valve groups effectively reduces the voltage and current stress on the submodule bridge arms. In summary, this invention has advantages such as fewer conversion stages, simple structure, large power capacity, low topology stress, direct connection to medium voltage, and wide voltage output range.

[0049] 2. The present invention has fewer power conversion stages, eliminates the need for a medium-voltage side rectifier bridge, reduces one stage of AC / DC conversion, and also reduces the number of devices; the anti-parallel thyristor valve group is combined with the bridge arm submodule IGBT, allowing for flexible voltage regulation.

[0050] 3. Compared with the circuit topology based on solid-state transformer input series and output parallel design, the present invention uses a medium frequency transformer, which has fewer transformers and lower insulation cost; fewer modules and higher overall reliability.

[0051] 4. The present invention has smooth input and output current, low harmonic content, and high power quality.

[0052] 5. This invention has good output voltage regulation capability and can be used in DC power supply scenarios with different voltage levels.

It meets the technical requirements of DC power supplies in data centers and electric vehicle charging stations in terms of large capacity, wide output voltage range, controllable cost, high power density, and high reliability.

[0076] Working principle:

[0077] The control method and working principle of a high-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter include the following parts:

[0078] Part 1: Taking a single converter as an example, within one power frequency cycle, the two bridge arms' anti-parallel thyristor valve groups alternately conduct, ensuring the continuity of the input medium-voltage AC current and cooperating with the sub-module bridge arms to generate a trapezoidal AC voltage on the transformer. Before the thyristor conducts, the corresponding bridge arm voltage rises to the medium-voltage AC voltage, ensuring the thyristor turns on under relatively low voltage stress and reducing thyristor turn-on stress. When the bridge arm thyristor conducts, the sub-module of the same bridge arm supports the input AC voltage and simultaneously controls the medium-voltage AC current. When the other bridge arm thyristor turns off, the voltage of the corresponding bridge arm is the difference between the medium-voltage AC voltage and the transformer primary voltage. After the thyristor turns off, the other bridge arm can also actively apply reverse voltage. The commutation process between the two bridge arms involves a certain commutation time to limit di / dt. By adjusting the transformer voltage amplitude, a wide range of DC-side voltage output can be achieved. The transformer current is controlled as a trapezoidal wave, and the rectified DC current becomes a trapezoidal wave with a frequency twice that of the transformer frequency. When both converters operate simultaneously, the superposition of the output trapezoidal waves results in a stable DC output.

[0079] Part Two: In the high-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter proposed in this invention, the transformer control timing of Converter 1 (Converter No. 1) and Converter 2 (Converter No. 2) differs by one-quarter of a control cycle. That is, the trapezoidal current output by the two transformers and the double-frequency positive trapezoidal current output by the two converters after rectification by the low-voltage rectifier circuit are phase-differentiated by one-quarter of a transformer operating cycle. In other words, the phase difference satisfies... Among them, T φIt is the phase difference between the trapezoidal wave currents output by the two transformers, and also the phase difference between the double-frequency positive trapezoidal wave currents output by the two converters after rectification by the low-voltage rectifier circuit. T is the transformer operating cycle, Tz is the transformer zero-current time, and Tc is the transformer current adjustment time.

[0080] Part Three: Specifically, taking a single converter as an example, the operation of this high-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter can be divided into six stages:

[0081] Phase 1 [t0~t1]: T1 is on, T2 is off, and the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 is u. ac The current of T1 is controlled by submodule bridge arm S1 to be i ac Achieving unity power factor; the voltage of submodule bridge arm S2 is u ac -nU dc Apply voltage nU to the transformer dc The control transformer current is I dc / n, a method to achieve wide DC voltage range operation by actively adjusting the voltage applied to the transformer by the first and second bridge arms in the first transformer;

[0082] Phase 2 [t1~t2]: The voltage of submodule bridge arm S2 changes from u ac -nU dc Upgrade to u ac The voltage change time corresponding to the preparation for thyristor commutation is defined as T. u At time t2, the voltage across thyristor T2 is approximately zero, achieving zero-voltage turn-on; during this process, the transformer voltage amplitude is less than nU. dc The DC-side diode is in the off state, and the transformer current is zero. During the voltage rise of submodule bridge arm S2, submodule bridge arm S1 is sequentially switched on or off at short intervals to limit the du / dt generated on thyristor T2 and prevent false turn-on. du / dt is the voltage change per unit time.

[0083] Phase 3 [t2~t3]: This is the thyristor commutation phase. Both T1 and T2 are in the conducting state. By actively adjusting the voltages of the submodule bridge arms S1 and S2, commutation voltages U with opposite amplitudes are applied to the series inductors L1 and L2 of the two thyristors T1 and T2. T This causes the current in T1 to flow from i ac The current gradually decreases to zero, while the current in T2 gradually increases from zero to i. ac The di / dt current of thyristors T1 and T2 is limited to enable zero-current turn-off of T1. The time used in this stage is the commutation time T. c The current flowing through the thyristor is combined into i ac To ensure the continuity of the medium-voltage AC current, the transformer voltage amplitude is less than nU during this stage.dc Methods to make the transformer current zero; di / dt is the current flowing per unit time;

[0084] Phase 4 [t3~t4]: After the current in T1 decreases to zero, adjust the voltage in S1 to u. ac +U R Actively apply back pressure U to T1 R The duration is T q T1 achieves reliable shutdown; at this time, the medium-voltage AC current is only borne by T2; T q Based on the thyristor turn-off time design, the turn-off time of ordinary thyristor modules is generally less than 400μs, while the turn-off time of fast-switching thyristors is generally between 25μs and 80μs.

[0085] Phase 5 [t4~t5]: T1 is off, T2 remains on; the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 gradually decreases to u. ac -nU dc A method for constraining du / dt during voltage drop;

[0086] Phase 6 [t5~t6]: Submodule bridge arm S2 supports medium-voltage AC voltage, and the voltage of submodule bridge arm S1 is u. ac -nU dc The voltage difference between the bridge arms maintains the DC voltage and controls the DC current. By adjusting the voltage of the submodule bridge arm S1, the transformer voltage amplitude is changed, thus achieving a wide voltage range operation method.

[0087] Part Four: The conduction timing of the anti-parallel thyristor valve group in a large-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter is divided into conduction mode one and conduction mode two. The voltage and current stress borne by the bridge arm is different in different conduction modes, as detailed below.

[0088] For thyristor conduction mode 1, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 12 During the positive half-cycle of a power frequency cycle, the anti-parallel thyristor valve groups T1 and T2 alternately conduct, with the same number of conductions, alternately sharing the medium-voltage AC current. When the medium-voltage AC current drops to 0, the original forward-conducting T2 naturally turns off. At this time, T2 is reverse-conducting, and the sub-module bridge arm S2 connected in series with T2 continues to support the medium-voltage AC voltage. To ensure continuous power transmission, the voltage of bridge arm S1 rises, and the voltage difference between the two bridge arms provides the transformer voltage. Thereafter, S1 and S2 alternately bear the medium-voltage AC voltage. Since the thyristor conduction sequence reverses at the zero-crossing point of the medium-voltage AC current, the maximum voltage stress of the bridge arm is the medium-voltage AC voltage, and the maximum current stress is the transformer current.

[0089] Thyristor conduction mode two, please refer to Figure 13The conduction timing of the thyristor valve group remains constant; that is, the anti-parallel thyristor valve groups T1 and T2 maintain a periodic alternating conduction. When the medium-voltage AC current drops to 0, the original forward conduction of T2 naturally turns off, and T1 turns on in reverse, completing the switching. At this time, the sub-module arm S1, connected in series with T1, supports the medium-voltage AC voltage. To ensure continuous power transmission, the voltage of the S2 arm drops, and the voltage difference between the two arms provides the transformer voltage. Subsequently, S1 and S2 alternately bear the medium-voltage AC voltage, and the maximum voltage stress of the arm is the sum of the medium-voltage AC voltage and the transformer voltage. When the arm supports the medium-voltage AC voltage, it also needs to provide transformer current. Therefore, under this thyristor switching logic, the maximum current stress of the arm is the sum of the transformer current and the medium-voltage AC current.

The control method of the large-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter according to claim 4, characterized in that, thyristor conduction mode one: when the medium voltage alternating current is in the positive half cycle within one power frequency cycle, the anti-parallel thyristor valve group T1 and T2 are alternately turned on, and the number of times of turning on is the same, and the medium voltage alternating current is alternately shared; when the medium voltage alternating current decreases to 0, the original T2 positive conduction occurs natural turn-off, at this time, T2 is allowed to be reversely turned on, and the sub-module bridge arm S2 in series with T2 continues to support the medium voltage alternating voltage, in order to ensure the continuous transmission of power, the voltage of S1 bridge arm rises to make the voltage difference of the two bridge arms provide the transformer voltage, thereafter, S1 and S2 alternately bear the medium voltage alternating voltage, since the thyristor conduction timing is reversed at the zero crossing of the medium voltage alternating current, the maximum voltage stress of the bridge arm is the medium voltage alternating voltage, and the maximum current stress is the transformer current.

7. The control method of the large-capacity single-stage AC / DC converter according to claim 4, characterized in that, thyristor conduction mode two: the conduction timing of the thyristor valve group is always constant, that is, the anti-parallel thyristor valve group T1 and T2 always maintain periodical alternate conduction, when the medium voltage alternating current decreases to 0, the original T2 positive conduction occurs natural turn-off, at this time, T1 is reversely turned on to complete switching; at this time, the sub-module bridge arm S1 in series with T1 supports the medium voltage alternating voltage, in order to ensure the continuous transmission of power, the voltage of S2 bridge arm decreases to make the voltage difference of the two bridge arms provide the transformer voltage, thereafter, S1 and S2 alternately bear the medium voltage alternating voltage, and the maximum voltage stress of the bridge arm is the medium voltage alternating voltage superimposed with the transformer voltage; when the bridge arm supports the medium voltage alternating voltage, the transformer current also needs to be provided, so that under the switching logic of the thyristor, the maximum current stress of the bridge arm is the transformer current superimposed with the medium voltage alternating current.
