Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the fields of flexible voltage regulation in low-voltage distribution networks and power electronics technology, specifically to a bidirectional flexible voltage regulation device and control method for distribution networks. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of the "dual carbon" target and the in-depth development of new power systems, new renewable energy sources such as distributed photovoltaics, wind power, energy storage, and electric vehicle charging facilities have been massively integrated into low-voltage distribution networks. Distribution networks are gradually transforming from traditional unidirectional power supply networks to a multi-interactive system of "source-grid-load-storage." However, the large-scale integration of new energy sources also means that the operating environment faced by low-voltage distribution networks is becoming increasingly severe. The voltage at low-voltage distribution line nodes is extremely sensitive to power fluctuations from these new sources and loads, easily leading to frequent voltage fluctuations, exceeding limits, three-phase imbalance, and low power factor. This not only affects the power supply quality for regional users but also limits the distribution network's ability to absorb and integrate these new sources and loads. Among these issues, the problem of bidirectional voltage exceeding limits in the distribution network is particularly prominent. During the day, when user electricity consumption is low, photovoltaic power output is excessive, causing the distribution network voltage to exceed the upper limit. This can not only damage equipment but also affect the stability of grid operation. At night, when user electricity consumption reaches its peak, photovoltaic power output is insufficient, causing the distribution network voltage to exceed the lower limit, affecting the normal power supply for regional users. Therefore, how to effectively solve the problem of bidirectional voltage over-limit in the power distribution network has become a key technical challenge that the power industry urgently needs to address.

[0003] However, in the specific implementation of bidirectional flexible voltage regulation in low-voltage distribution networks, traditional open-loop control strategies rely on preset fixed parameters and unidirectional command transmission, lacking the ability to perceive and dynamically correct the system output in real time. In direct AC / AC type unidirectional voltage regulation topology scenarios, if open-loop control is used, the system can only roughly adjust the output voltage based on the initially set duty cycle. Dynamic factors such as grid impedance changes, load fluctuations, and the randomness of distributed energy output are ignored, resulting in insufficient voltage regulation accuracy, weak anti-interference capability, and a tendency to induce voltage oscillations or even instability. In addition, the voltage fluctuations of new distribution networks exhibit bidirectional and polymorphic characteristics. The single operating mode of the direct AC / AC type unidirectional voltage regulation topology cannot cover all operating scenarios. If the mode switching switch cannot flexibly switch the operating mode of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulation device according to the voltage fluctuations of the distribution network, it will lead to voltage regulation failure and even equipment damage.

[0095] A second aspect of this application provides a control method for a bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device in a power distribution network, comprising:

[0096] S1. Collect the voltage value of the low-voltage distribution network and compare it with the set upper and lower voltage limits to determine whether the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network is within the set voltage range. If yes, the network is considered to be operating normally and the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network does not need to be connected to the low-voltage distribution network for voltage regulation. If no, the working mode of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network is determined according to the voltage deviation from the upper and lower limits.

[0097] S2. Determine the corresponding closed-loop control strategy based on the working mode of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network.

[0098] S3. Calculate the duty cycle of the bidirectional switching transistor in the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the power distribution network using a closed-loop control strategy, and adjust the output voltage of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the power distribution network using the duty cycle.

[0099] The main method of mode switching is to determine the working mode of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network based on the voltage deviation of the low-voltage distribution network from the set range, and switch the corresponding control strategy to control the output voltage of the distribution network.

[0100] The embodiments described above in this application eliminate the need for transformers and DC links, achieving low-cost, compact, and flexible voltage regulation for low-voltage distribution network voltage fluctuations or bidirectional over-limit situations simply through direct AC / AC conversion. The closed-loop control strategy of this bidirectional flexible voltage regulation device enables real-time, precise, and flexible voltage regulation of the output voltage, maintaining stable voltage on the user side. The mode switching method of this bidirectional flexible voltage regulation device allows the control mode switching switch to operate according to the type of voltage over-limit when the distribution network voltage exceeds its limit, thereby achieving mode switching of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulation device and ensuring reliable switch operation.

[0101] In some specific embodiments of this application, the operating mode of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device for the distribution network is determined based on the deviation of the low-voltage distribution network voltage from the set range, including:

[0102] The voltage value of the low-voltage distribution network is collected and compared with the set upper and lower voltage limits to determine whether the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network is within the set voltage range. If it is, the network is considered to be operating normally and the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network does not need to be connected to the low-voltage distribution network for voltage regulation. If not, the working mode of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network is determined according to the voltage deviation from the upper and lower limits.

[0103] When the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network exceeds the upper limit, the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network is connected in series between the input network and the output load in Buck mode;

[0104] When the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network is lower than the lower limit, the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network is connected in series between the input network and the output load in Boost mode.

[0105] It should be noted that the output load refers to the load side.

[0106] In some specific embodiments of this application, when the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network exceeds the upper limit, the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network is connected in series between the input power supply and the output load in Buck mode;

[0107] The second load-side switch of the low-voltage side switching switch and the first grid-side switching switch of the high-voltage side switching switch in the mode switching device of the distribution network are turned on; the first load-side switch of the high-voltage side switching switch and the second grid-side switch of the low-voltage side switching switch are turned off.

[0108] In this device, the high-voltage side port of the direct AC / AC type unidirectional voltage regulation topology of the distribution network bidirectional flexible voltage regulation device is connected to the grid side of the low-voltage distribution network through the first grid side switch, and the low-voltage side port is connected to the load side of the low-voltage distribution network through the second load side switch. The distribution network bidirectional flexible voltage regulation device is connected in series between the input grid and the output load in Buck mode.

[0109] In some specific embodiments of this application, when the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network exceeds the upper limit, the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device of the distribution network is connected in series between the input power supply and the output load in Buck mode; the Buck mode includes: mode one power transmission mode and mode two freewheeling mode.

[0110] In Mode 1, the power transmission mode is a direct AC / AC type unidirectional voltage regulation topology. When the main control bidirectional switch is turned on and the freewheeling bidirectional switch is turned off, the circuit is in power transmission mode. In Mode 2, the freewheeling mode is a freewheeling mode. When the main control bidirectional switch is turned off and the freewheeling bidirectional switch is turned on, the circuit is in freewheeling mode.

[0111] It should be noted that when the circuit is in power transmission mode, the entire circuit is in power transmission mode, meaning that there is a power flow between the power grid and the load.

[0112] In some specific embodiments of this application, in mode-one power transfer mode, the power supply u i Power is supplied to the load, and the load voltage u o =u i Load current i o As the voltage rises exponentially, the inductors and capacitors in the direct AC / AC type unidirectional voltage regulation topology absorb energy, causing the voltage to rise. Depending on the direction of the inductor current, the energy is transferred from the input power supply to the output load or fed back from the output load to the input power supply.

[0113] In the modal two freewheeling mode, the load voltage U oWhen the current is approximately zero, the load current decreases exponentially. The inductor and capacitor supply power to the load and release energy, causing the voltage to drop. The inductor current then continues through the freewheeling diode.

[0114] Specifically, the two operating modes of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device for the power distribution network in Buck mode include:

[0115] In mode one, during the time period [t0-t1] of one switching cycle, when the main control bidirectional switches S1 and S2 are turned on and the freewheeling bidirectional switches S3 and S4 are turned off, the circuit is in power transfer mode. The equivalent circuit diagram is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in (a), depending on the direction of the inductor current, energy is transferred from the input power supply to the output load or fed back from the output load to the input power supply.

[0116] Mode 2: During the time period [t1-t2] within one switching cycle, when the main control bidirectional switches S1 and S2 are off and the freewheeling bidirectional switches S3 and S4 are on, the circuit is in freewheeling mode. The equivalent circuit diagram is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in (b), the inductor current freewheels through the switching transistors S3 and S4.

[0117] In the mode 1 power transfer mode and the mode 2 freewheeling mode, the power frequency input voltage is assumed to be u. i (t)=U i ·sin(ωt), where the angular frequency ω=2πf remains constant, and the amplitude U i It may contain random disturbances. The conduction ratio of the main control transistor is d(t), and its steady-state value is D;

[0118] To obtain accurate and stable power frequency output u o (t)=U o sin(ωt), requiring a very good sine degree and an amplitude U o Constant, frequency and phase are related to the input voltage u i (t) have the same fundamental frequency.

[0119] It should be noted that the above embodiments are intended to provide initial conditions and variable descriptions for the mathematical model to be established later.

[0120] The two operating modes represent different operating states of the topology within a single switching cycle, and their corresponding expressions differ. It is necessary to derive the state-space average equation of the topology within one switching cycle based on these two sets of expressions. The transfer function can be obtained by superimposing a small disturbance onto the state-space average equation and performing a Laplace transform. The open-loop transfer function of the output voltage and duty cycle represents the relationship between them. The input to the closed-loop control strategy is the deviation between the actual and reference values ​​of the output voltage. After passing through the PI controller, the corresponding actual duty cycle can be obtained. Describing the transfer function can be used to calculate the PI parameters for PI control.

[0121] In some specific implementations, based on the operating mode of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator in the distribution network, a corresponding closed-loop control strategy is determined. The duty cycle of the bidirectional switching transistor in the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator is calculated using this control strategy, and the output voltage of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator is adjusted based on the duty cycle. This includes:

[0122] The deviation between the actual output voltage of the low-voltage distribution network and the reference value is detected, and the duty cycle of the bidirectional switch in the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network under the corresponding working mode is obtained through PI control; the output voltage of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network is adjusted by the duty cycle to maintain a stable output of the load side voltage.

[0123] The closed-loop control strategy is a voltage single closed-loop control strategy.

[0124] It should be noted that the closed-loop control strategy logic is the same for different operating modes, namely, a voltage single closed-loop control strategy is adopted. By detecting the difference between the output voltage reference value and the actual value, the real-time duty cycle is obtained through the PI controller, and then the output voltage is controlled. However, the circuits, transfer functions, and parameters of the PI controller are different for different operating modes.

[0125] Furthermore, the closed-loop control strategy includes a modulation stage and a delay stage.

[0126] In Buck mode, when the inductor current is in the positive half-cycle, the expressions for the inductor voltage, output capacitor current, and input power supply current in mode-1 power transfer mode are as follows:

[0127]

[0128] i s (t)=i L (t);

[0129] In the formula, u i (t) represents the input voltage, u o (t) represents the output voltage, i s (t) represents the input current, i L (t) represents the inductor current, L represents the filter inductance, C represents the low-voltage side filter capacitor, and R represents the load resistance;

[0130] In mode two freewheeling, the expressions for the inductor voltage, output capacitor current, and input power supply current are:

[0131]

[0132] i s (t)=i L (t).

[0133] In the formula, u i (t) represents the input voltage, u o (t) represents the output voltage, i s (t) represents the input current, i L (t) represents the inductor current, L represents the filter inductance, C represents the low-voltage side filter capacitor, and R represents the load resistance;

[0134] Calculate the state-space average equation of the converter, taking any switching period (T) s The average value of each state quantity within) As a new state variable, the average state-space equation of the converter can be obtained as follows:

[0135]

[0136] In the formula, T s For the switching cycle, This represents the average value of the input-side voltage during any given switching cycle. This represents the average value of the output voltage during any switching cycle. This represents the average value of the input-side current during any switching cycle. The average value of the inductor current during any switching cycle is given by L, where L is the filter inductance, C is the low-voltage side filter capacitor, and R is the load resistance.

[0137] Small-signal disturbances are superimposed on the static DC components of each major variable, i.e.

[0138]

[0139] In the formula, U i U o I L I s These are the static DC components of the input voltage, output voltage, inductor current, and input current, respectively. These are the small-signal disturbance components of the input voltage, output voltage, inductor current, input current, and the conduction ratio of the main control bidirectional switch of the converter, respectively.

[0140] Substituting the above equation into the state-averaged equation, if and only if Time (i.e., input voltage u) i (t) is outside the sufficiently small locality of zero, and both sides of the equation are equal. They can be canceled out; further, zero-valued terms can be eliminated. and (DU) i -U o (and ignore nonlinear terms) The small-signal state equation of the system can be obtained as follows:

[0141]

[0142] Performing a Laplace transform on the equation, we obtain

[0143]

[0144] In the formula, These are complex frequency domain models of small-signal disturbance components, namely, input voltage, output voltage, inductor current, input current, and the conduction ratio of the main bidirectional switch of the converter.

[0145] eliminate The following open-loop transfer function can be obtained:

[0146] The transfer function from input voltage to output voltage;

[0147]

[0148] The transfer function from duty cycle to output voltage;

[0149]

[0150] Output impedance;

[0151]

[0152] It should be noted that the three open-loop transfer functions are in parallel, mainly indicating the relationship between input voltage and output voltage, the relationship between duty cycle and output voltage, and output impedance, respectively. They all belong to the mathematical model of the circuit and express the circuit characteristics.

[0153] In the above implementation process, the transfer function from duty cycle to output voltage can only derive the relationship between duty cycle and output voltage. The duty cycle value and the output voltage value correspond one-to-one. If open-loop control is performed, that is, given a fixed output voltage value, a fixed duty cycle is calculated according to the transfer function. This method can control the output voltage, but it cannot change the duty cycle in real time to control the output voltage to keep it stable in response to the dynamic fluctuations of the output voltage.

[0154] In this application, a PI controller is used for single-loop instantaneous voltage value control, and the output voltage U is controlled by the PI controller. o Feedback is sent to the input terminal, forming a negative feedback system. The PI controller uses the instantaneous error e = U between the actual and desired output voltage values. o.ref -U o Dynamically adjust the duty cycle d to ensure U o Fast and accurate tracking of U o.ref When load / input changes cause U o When voltage fluctuations occur, the system automatically corrects the duty cycle through error feedback to maintain voltage stability.

The single closed-loop control is divided into output voltage sampling, error signal generation, controller processing, PWM modulation, delay stage, circuit dynamic model and output voltage feedback in sequence.

[0156] The specific process includes: first, collecting the output voltage U of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulating device in the power distribution network. o Calculate U o With a given voltage reference value U o.ref The error signal e = U o.ref -U o Next, the error signal e is sent to the PI controller for proportional-integral calculation to obtain the control voltage U. c The U obtained from PI control is used as a control variable to drive subsequent stages; then the U obtained from PI control is... c Through PWM modulation, i.e. K pwm The module converts the duty cycle signal d. pwm After a delay, G... delay The duty cycle d after the output delay simulates the control delay in the actual system; finally, the duty cycle d outputs the actual output voltage U through the main circuit. o Transfer function G od (s) represents the change in the main circuit from the control-generated duty cycle d to the generated output voltage U. o The dynamic process.

[0157] The core of closed-loop control is the generated output voltage U. o The data is sampled in real time and enters the error signal generation stage, along with U. o.ref Continuous comparison forms a closed-loop control, enabling dynamic voltage regulation.

[0158] In this approach, a single closed-loop voltage control strategy is employed, typically using a PI controller. The proportional gain K is adjusted accordingly. p and integral coefficient K i This improves the system's steady-state and dynamic performance.

[0223] Specifically, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the control method includes the following: Under operating condition one, when the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network line is within the allowable voltage deviation range, the circuit operates normally. The high-voltage side switching switches (201a, 201b) are kept in the on state, and the low-voltage side switching switches (202a, 202b) are kept in the off state. The main control bidirectional switching transistors (S1, S2) of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network are kept in the on state, and the freewheeling bidirectional switching transistors (S3, S4) are kept in the off state. At this time, the input power supply and the output load are directly connected, the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network is in the direct-through mode, and the output load voltage is the low-voltage distribution network line voltage.

[0224] Operating Condition 2: When the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network line fluctuates or exceeds the upper limit, the system detects that the line voltage deviates from the set upper limit value. After controlling the load-side switch 202b of the low-voltage side switching switch to the on state, the system controls the load-side switch 201b of the high-voltage side switching switch to the off state. Other mode switching switches maintain their original switching states, that is, the grid-side switch 201a of the high-voltage side switching switch remains on state, and the grid-side switch 202a of the low-voltage side switching switch remains off state. At this time, the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network is connected between the input power supply and the output load in Buck mode. The system releases the lockout state of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network, detects the deviation between the output voltage and the set value, and switches the control strategy of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network. The two sets of bidirectional switches are switched on and off complementaryly according to the duty cycle obtained by the Buck mode closed-loop control strategy. The bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network performs voltage reduction regulation to maintain a stable output voltage on the load side.

[0225] Under operating condition 3, when the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network line fluctuates or exceeds the lower limit, the system detects that the line voltage deviates from the set lower limit value. After controlling the grid-side switch 202a of the low-voltage side switching switch to the conducting state, the system controls the grid-side switch 201a of the high-voltage side switching switch to the off state. Other mode switching switches maintain their original switching states, that is, the load-side switch 201b of the high-voltage side switching switch remains in the conducting state, and the load-side switch 202b of the low-voltage side switching switch remains in the off state. At this time, the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network is connected between the input power supply and the output load in Boost mode. The system releases the lockout state of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network, detects the deviation between the output voltage and the set value, and switches the control strategy of the bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network. The two sets of bidirectional switches are switched on and off complementaryly according to the duty cycle obtained by the Boost mode closed-loop control strategy. The bidirectional flexible voltage regulator of the distribution network performs voltage boost regulation to maintain a stable output voltage on the load side.

[0226] Condition 4: When the voltage of the low-voltage distribution network line recovers to the allowable deviation range and the detected line voltage recovers to the set voltage range, the main control switch (S1, S2) of the distribution network bidirectional flexible voltage regulator is switched to a continuously conducting state, and the freewheeling bidirectional switch (S3, S4) is switched to a continuously off state. The distribution network bidirectional flexible voltage regulator is disengaged from voltage regulation, and the high-voltage side switching switch (201a, 201b) is switched to a conducting state, while the low-voltage side switching switch (202a, 202b) is switched to a off state. At this time, the input power supply and the output load are directly connected, and the distribution network bidirectional voltage regulator is in a direct-through mode.
