[0002] The output power of photovoltaics is greatly affected by environmental factors such as solar irradiance and temperature. Therefore, in order to maintain stable output of photovoltaics to the load, adding energy storage devices to the photovoltaic system and forming a three-port boost inverter circuit with input, output and energy storage has become one of the current research hotspots.

[0003] Because the output voltage range of photovoltaic modules is limited, in order for the inverter to output voltage and AC power that meets the power requirements of the grid or load, a two-stage boost inverter structure is often used to boost the voltage.

[0065] First Embodiment

[0066] Photovoltaic output characteristics are unstable due to environmental influences, making the boost inverter structure a crucial component for ensuring system stability. Traditional boost circuits have limited boost capabilities and lack mode switching functionality. Boost-type switched capacitors have shown significant effectiveness in improving topology boost capability and reducing switching transistor stress. However, a common drawback of both three-port and switched capacitor structures is the need for multiple switching devices, increasing cost and size, topology losses, and making the topology's control logic more complex. Therefore, this embodiment proposes a three-port boost inverter topology, referring to... Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the structure of a three-port boost inverter topology, which includes:

[0067] Dual input sources, including photovoltaic modules V PV and storage battery V Bat Among them, photovoltaic module V PV and storage battery V Bat The switching transistors Sa1, Sa2, and Sa3 are controlled to switch on / off according to the magnitude of the photovoltaic output voltage, so as to switch their own power supply / discharge mode.

[0068] A three-port boost inverter topology includes a three-phase inverter and a boost capacitor C connected in parallel at the input of the three-phase full-bridge inverter. o It also includes reverse polarity protection diode VD0, diode VD1, diode VD2, and capacitor C. Bat , switched capacitor C1, inductor L1, inductor L, load, switching transistor Sa1, switching transistor Sa2 and switching transistor Sa3;

[0069] The three-phase inverter includes switching transistors S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6. The collectors of switching transistors S1, S3, and S5 are connected together and connected to a boost capacitor C. o The positive terminal of the transistor is connected to the emitter of switching transistors S2, S4, and S6, and then connected to the boost capacitor C. o The negative electrode.

[0070] In this embodiment, capacitor C1 is controlled by switches S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 to interact with the photovoltaic module V. PV Parallel charging or series discharging achieves voltage multiplication and boosting; the two currents are respectively supplied by the photovoltaic module V. PV Storage battery V Bat After flowing out from the positive terminal, it passes through multiple switching transistors and the load before returning to the negative terminal of the power supply, forming a circuit.

[0071] Traditional Boost circuits have limited boost ratios; the input voltage must be greater than a minimum voltage to ensure the output voltage is the rated load voltage. By controlling the on / off states of switches S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6, the series and parallel connection of the capacitor and photovoltaic module can be controlled. When the photovoltaic module and capacitor are connected in parallel, the photovoltaic module charges the capacitor and the subsequent inductor; when the photovoltaic module and capacitor are connected in series, they discharge together, increasing the input voltage of the Boost circuit.

[0072] Based on the on / off state of the switching transistor, the circuit operation can be divided into several different modes to switch its own power supply / discharge mode.

Bat The positive terminal and one end of the inductor L1, capacitor C Bat The negative terminal of the battery is connected to V. BatThe negative terminal of the diode is connected to the inductor; the other end of the inductor L1 is connected to one end of the switched capacitor C1, the other end of the switched capacitor C1 is connected to the cathode of the diode VD1 and one end of the inductor L, the other end of the inductor L is connected to the anode of the diode VD2, and the cathode of the diode VD2 is connected to the boost capacitor C. o The positive terminals are connected, and the three phases a, b, and c of the load are connected between switch S1 and switch S4, between switch S3 and switch S6, and between switch S5 and switch S2, respectively. Further, in some optional embodiments, switch Sa1 and switch Sa2 are connected in series, with the collector of switch Sa1 connected to the cathode of diode VD0 and the anode of diode VD1, and the emitter of switch Sa2 connected to the photovoltaic module V... PV The negative terminal; the collector of the switching transistor Sa3 is connected between the inductor L and the diode VD2, and the emitter is connected to the capacitor C. o negative electrode, photovoltaic module V PV The negative electrode and the battery V Bat The negative electrode.

[0075] This embodiment proposes a three-port boost inverter topology, controlling the switching transistors to achieve operating mode switching. The three-port boost inverter topology is cascaded with a traditional Boost converter. Based on variations in irradiance, the voltage multiplication characteristic of the capacitor expands the irradiance range of the photovoltaic system, increasing the boost ratio of the topology and reducing the capacity requirements of the battery. The three-port structure and the clamping characteristics of the capacitor enable simultaneous discharge of the photovoltaic system and the battery. When the output from the photovoltaic system and the battery is insufficient to operate the system, a three-phase inverter is used to step down the photovoltaic voltage to charge the battery.

[0076] Second Embodiment

[0077] Based on the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the two currents of the circuit are generated by two photovoltaic V PV Storage battery V Bat After flowing out from the positive terminal, the current passes through multiple switches / diodes and the load before returning to the negative terminal of the power supply, forming two circuits. Changes in solar irradiance cause changes in the output power of the photovoltaic module. By detecting the output voltage and current of the photovoltaic module and combining this with the battery's output voltage, the photovoltaic output voltage V is determined. o The maximum and minimum output voltages are respectively V max V min Based on the relationship between the maximum charging voltage and the minimum discharging voltage of the battery, V1 and V2 respectively, this topology is divided into three operating modes: (Refer to...) Figure 2 The control method for a three-port boost inverter topology includes the following steps:

[0078] Step S10: Collect the current output voltage of the photovoltaic module;

[0079] Step S20: When the current output voltage is greater than the minimum discharge voltage V2 of the battery and less than or equal to the rated maximum output voltage V of the photovoltaic module... max At that time, the control three-port boost inverter topology is switched to mode one so that the photovoltaic modules can supply energy to the three-phase inverter;

[0080] In this step, when the current output voltage is greater than the minimum discharge voltage V of the battery, the photovoltaic power supply is independently powered after being boosted by the switched capacitor. Mode 1 involves the photovoltaic power supplying energy to the inverter via a switched capacitor boost converter. Mode 1 includes two stages, controlled by outputting a signal with a fixed duty cycle to the controller. When the control signal is high, the switching transistor remains on (stage 1); when the control signal is low, the switching transistor remains off, allowing the capacitor and inductor to discharge (stage 2). The switching between the two stages is achieved by setting a fixed duty cycle for the signal generator, completing the charging and discharging switching of the capacitor and inductor. This is a self-switching circuit. The subsequent Modes 2 and 3 follow the same principle.

[0081] It should be noted that for the generation of high / low level signals, by setting a working period T and the proportion D of the conduction time within that period, the switching transistor completes one on and one off state switching within that period. The high and low levels are automatically sent by the signal generator according to the set working period T and proportion D. Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 are the same.

[0082] In some alternative implementations, refer to Figure 3 The charging and discharging equivalent circuit of the topology shown in mode one, phase one state, is in phase one when a high-level control signal is received. This controls the switching transistor Sa1 and diode VD2 to turn off, and controls the switching transistors Sa2 and Sa3 and diodes VD0 and VD1 to turn on, so that the photovoltaic module V... PV The outflowing current sequentially passes through diode VD0, diode VD1, capacitor C1 and switch S2, inductor L1 and switch S3, and flows back to the negative terminal to form a circuit. Capacitor C1 and switch S2, and inductor L1 and switch S3 form a parallel structure. The photovoltaic module V... PV Charge capacitor C1 and inductor L1;

[0083] Reference Figure 4 The charging and discharging equivalent circuit of the topology shown in mode one phase two state is in phase two when a low-level control signal is received. It controls the switching transistor Sa1 to conduct with diodes VD0 and VD2, and controls the switching transistors Sa2 and Sa3 to turn off with diode VD1, so that current flows through diode VD0, switching transistor Sa1, capacitor C1, inductor L1 and diode VD2, and capacitor C1 and inductor L1 discharge in series.

[0084] Step S30: When the current output voltage is greater than the maximum discharge voltage V1 of the battery and less than or equal to the minimum discharge voltage V2 of the battery, control the three-port boost inverter topology to switch to mode two so that the photovoltaic module and the battery can drive the load together.

[0085] In this step, mode two involves the photovoltaic system and the battery driving the load together via a Boost circuit.

[0086] Reference Figure 5 The charging and discharging equivalent circuit of the topology shown in mode two, stage one state, is in stage one when a high-level control signal is received. This stage controls switch Sa1 and diode VD2 to turn off, and controls switches Sa2 and Sa3 and diodes VD0 and VD1 to turn on, thereby enabling the photovoltaic module V... PV The output current passes through diode VD0, charging capacitor C1 and inductor L, and also powering battery V. Bat The output current passes through inductor L1 and switching transistor Sa3, charging inductor L1.

[0087] Reference Figure 6 The charging and discharging equivalent circuit of the topology shown in mode two, stage two state, is in stage two when a low-level control signal is received. This stage controls the switching transistors Sa1, Sa2, and Sa3, as well as diodes VD0 and VD1 to turn off, and controls diode VD2 to turn on, so that the battery V... Bat Discharge in series with inductor L, capacitor C1, and inductor L.

[0088] Step S40, when the current output voltage is greater than the rated minimum output voltage V of the photovoltaic module min When the voltage is less than or equal to the maximum discharge voltage V1 of the battery, the three-port boost inverter topology is switched to mode three so that the photovoltaic modules can charge the battery.

[0089] In this step, mode 3 is where the photovoltaic system charges the battery.

[0090] Reference Figure 7 The illustrated topology, in its charge / discharge equivalent circuit under mode three-stage-one state, is in stage one upon receiving a high-level control signal. This stage controls the conduction of switch Sa1 and diode VD0, and the turn-off of switches Sa2 and Sa3, diodes VD1 and VD2, thereby enabling the photovoltaic module V... PV The output current charges the battery through diode VD1 and inductor L1.

[0091] Reference Figure 8The topology shown is in the charging and discharging equivalent circuit of the three-stage two-state mode. When a low-level control signal is received, it is in stage two. Switch Sa3, diode VD0, and diode VD1 are turned on, while switch Sa1, switch Sa2, and diode VD2 are turned off, so that the photovoltaic module V... PV The output current discharges through diodes VD0 and VD1, inductor L1, and switching transistor Sa3.

[0122] Fifth Embodiment

[0123] Based on any of the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, Figure 9-10 This represents the system's output characteristics in Mode 1. To maintain long-term motor operation, the motor speed must be kept at its rated speed. Therefore, whether each mode can maintain the motor at its rated speed is used as the dividing line, when the irradiance is 750 W / m². 2 At that time, the motor speed is at its rated speed, therefore the irradiance is 750~1000 W / m. 2 At that time, the motor was entirely driven by photovoltaics. In the simulation, the irradiance increased from 1000 to 750 W / m² in 3 seconds. 2 Due to the step change, the photovoltaic output power decreased from 1890 W to 1150 W. The switched-capacitor boost converter has a duty cycle of 0.5, boosting the photovoltaic voltage before inputting it to the inverter. The switched-capacitor structure results in an output voltage that is twice the input voltage, achieving voltage multiplication. Therefore, the inverter input voltage waveform at this time is as follows: Figure 9 As shown in the figure, V PV V is the photovoltaic input voltage. Bat V is the battery input voltage. dc This is the DC-side output voltage (i.e., the inverter topology input voltage).

[0124] The motor speed remains constant at the rated speed, and the waveform changes as follows: Figure 10 As shown.

[0125] Figure 11-12 This represents the system's output characteristics in mode two. Solar irradiance is between 500 and 750 W / m². 2At this time, the motor is driven by a combination of photovoltaic power and battery storage. The output power of the photovoltaic power and battery storage accounts for approximately [percentage missing]. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, P PV For photovoltaic output power, P Bat P is the output power of the battery. 总 This represents the total power output from the photovoltaic system and the battery. Irradiance ranges from 500 to 750 W / m² in 3 seconds. 2 The step change resulted in the photovoltaic output power's share of the total power increasing from 0.65% to 0.97%. The motor speed was as follows... Figure 12 As shown, when the irradiance is 500 W / m 2 The output power ratio of photovoltaic and battery is 0.5 and 0.5 respectively, which is insufficient to enable the motor to operate at its rated speed.

[0126] Figure 13 The figure shows the output characteristics of the system in mode three, where P... PV For photovoltaic output power, P Bat The output power of the battery is given by the efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation through the switching transistor S. a1 With S a2 For battery charging efficiency. Solar irradiance is 185~500 W / m². 2 At times, the combined output of photovoltaic power and battery power is insufficient to drive the motor; therefore, the power output from the photovoltaic system is used to charge the battery. The maximum charging efficiency is 99.73%. When the irradiance is below 185 W / m²... 2 At times, the photovoltaic output is insufficient to charge the battery.
