Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In recent years, low-voltage and high-capacity single-cell battery energy storage systems (BESS) gradually dominate the market due to their high cost-effectiveness and simple battery management system design. In order to realize efficient energy interaction with the power grid, single-cell BESS needs to be equipped with a high-voltage-ratio DC-DC converter and adopt a complex control strategy to raise its output voltage to a level compatible with the power grid, meeting the requirements of power grid access.

[0003] Dual active bridge (DAB) converters are widely used in modern energy conversion systems due to their excellent bidirectional energy transmission capability and inherent soft switching characteristics. However, in practical applications, DAB converters still face many challenges in maintaining high efficiency when operating under extreme voltage ratios.

[0004] Existing control strategies have obvious limitations when dealing with partial load operation of DAB converters. On the one hand, large circulating reactive power not only increases the energy loss of the system but also reduces the effectiveness of power transmission. On the other hand, the reduction of soft switching window makes it difficult for switching devices to switch under ideal zero-voltage conditions, resulting in increased switching loss. These two factors together significantly reduce the performance of DAB converters under partial load conditions, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for efficient and stable energy conversion.

[0050] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in connection with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0051] In addition, the technical features involved in each of the embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

[0052] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a topology diagram of a high boost ratio DAB converter provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this high boost ratio DAB converter employs a symmetrical configuration, containing six power switches (S1-S6) to achieve bidirectional energy conversion between the low-voltage battery terminal and the high-voltage DC bus terminal. Specifically, the primary-side full-bridge circuit composed of power switches S1, S2, S3, and S4 is connected to the battery via an input capacitor (Cin), while the secondary-side hybrid network composed of power switches S5, S6, and capacitors C1 and C2 achieves voltage multiplication through capacitor switching operation. The drain-source voltages of power switches S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 are represented as Vds1, Vds2, Vds3, Vds4, Vds5, and Vds6, respectively. A high-frequency voltage converter with a turns ratio of 1:n is used to achieve electrical isolation and voltage conversion, wherein the magnetizing inductor ( The primary magnetic core excitation dynamics, secondary leakage inductance ( This DAB converter exhibits dominant power transfer characteristics. Compared to a symmetrical DAB converter with a full-bridge secondary side, its boost ratio is doubled. Figure 1 In this context, the reference directions of voltage and current indicate that power is transmitted from the current meter to the bus side, meaning the power transmission direction is positive.

[0054] Based on the topology of the DAB converter, its current equivalent circuit consists of nVp, A first-order linear circuit is formed by connecting Vp and Vs in series, where nVp is the normalized primary voltage, i.e., n times the primary voltage Vp of the transformer, and Vs is the transformer output voltage. In the embodiments of this application, the DAB converter adopts dual phase-shift control, which controls the shape and relative timing of the transformer primary voltage Vp and transformer secondary voltage Vs by controlling the inner phase shift angle between the primary leading bridge arm (i.e., S1 and S2) and the primary lagging bridge arm (i.e., S3 and S4), and the outer phase shift angle between the primary leading bridge arm and the secondary bridge arm (i.e., S5 and S6), thereby regulating the power flow.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 These are schematic diagrams illustrating the six working modes provided in the embodiments of this application. For example... Figure 2As shown, according to the relative alignment of the high-level midpoint positions of nVp (blue three-level waveform) and Vs (red two-level waveform), the working modes of the DAB converter are divided into six modes A1, B1, C1, A2, B2 and C2. Among them, (a1) corresponds to mode A1; (b1) corresponds to mode B1; (c1) corresponds to mode C1; (a2) corresponds to mode A2; (b2) corresponds to mode B2; (c2) corresponds to mode C2. Specifically, in modes A1 and A2, the high-level pulses of nVp and Vs are completely staggered, in modes B1 and B2, the high-level pulses of nVp and Vs are partially staggered and partially overlapped, and in modes C1 and C2, the high-level pulses of nVp and Vs are completely overlapped. Further, in modes A1 / B1 / C1, the midpoint of the nVp high-level pulse leads the midpoint of the Vs high-level pulse, the voltage difference is positive, the power is transmitted in the positive direction, that is, the energy is transmitted from the low-voltage battery side to the high-voltage bus side; in modes A2 / B2 / C2, the midpoint of the nVp high-level pulse lags behind the midpoint of the Vs high-level pulse, the voltage difference is reversed, the power is transmitted in the reverse direction, that is, the energy is transmitted from the high-voltage bus side to the low-voltage battery side. The efficiency optimization method proposed in the present application switches between these modes by dynamically adjusting the midpoint offset and the high-level pulse width.

[0056] For the convenience of quantitative analysis, two intermediate variables are defined: a first phase shift parameter D1 and a second phase shift parameter D2. Among them, the first phase shift parameter D1 is the ratio of the nVp pulse width to the switching period Ts, that is, D1*Ts is equal to the duration of the nVp high-level pulse. The second phase shift parameter D2 is the ratio of the difference between the midpoint time of the Vs high-level pulse and the midpoint time of the nVp high-level pulse to the switching period, that is, D2*Ts is equal to the length of time that the nVp high-level pulse midpoint leads the Vs high-level pulse midpoint. If the nVp high-level pulse midpoint lags behind the midpoint of the Vs high-level pulse, D2*Ts takes a negative value. According to the definitions of D1 and D2, the relationship between D1 and D2 in the six modes is as shown in Table 1: Figure 2 It can be seen that the value range of D1 is 0 to 0.5, and the value range of D2 is -0.5 to 0.5. The relationship between D1 and D2 in the six modes is shown in Table 1:

[0057] Table 1

[0058]

[0059] It can be known through experiments that the output power ranges of mode A1 and A2 are the same as those of mode C1 and C2, but the current stress of mode A1 and A2 is higher. Therefore, mode A1 and A2 are generally avoided in actual control, and only switching is performed between mode B1, B2, C1 and C2. Taking mode B1 and C1 corresponding to power forward transmission as an example for analysis. Since the power transmission of the DAB converter is controlled by the outer shift phase angle of the primary and secondary voltages, when the DAB converter operates under a heavy load condition, in order to transmit more power, the high level of nVp and the high level of Vs must be staggered to increase the outer shift phase angle, that is, under the heavy load condition, the DAB converter operates in mode B1; and when the DAB converter operates under a light load condition, the transmission power is small, and the high level of nVp and the high level of Vs must be overlapped to reduce the outer shift phase angle, that is, under the light load condition, the DAB converter operates in mode C1. For the convenience of understanding, mode B1 is also called heavy load mode, and mode C1 is also called light load mode.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a typical waveform diagram of mode B1 provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 3 , the first three groups of waveforms are the conduction waveforms of power switches S1-S6, wherein S1, S4 and S5 correspond to red waveforms, S2, S3 and S6 correspond to blue waveforms, the fourth group of waveforms is the waveform of nVp and Vs (nVp is a blue waveform and Vs is a red waveform), the fifth group is the waveform of the instantaneous transmission current of the high-frequency transformer, and the sixth group of waveforms is the waveform of the instantaneous transmission power of the high-frequency transformer. It should be noted that Figure 3 ignores the dead time between the conduction and turn-off time of the two power switches in the same bridge arm. Based on the time marks in Figure 3 (for example, is the S1 conduction time, is the S4 conduction time, is the S5 conduction time, is the S2 conduction time, is the S3 conduction time, is the S6 conduction time, is the S1 conduction time of the next switching period), the corresponding relationship between D1, D2 and the power switch switching time under mode B1 is:

[0061] (1)

[0062] wherein, is a switching period, that is, to .

[0063] Considering the instantaneous transmission current The symmetry of the waveform in one switching cycle, the switching time of each mode B1 The calculation formula is as follows:

[0064] (2)

[0065] Wherein, is the low-voltage battery side voltage, is the high-voltage bus side voltage, is the secondary side leakage inductance, is the turn ratio of the high-frequency transformer, is the switching frequency under mode B1.

[0066] The instantaneous transmission power of the high-frequency transformer The output average power of a switching cycle under mode B1 is:

[0067] (3)

[0068] According to the value range of D1 and D2 under mode B1 described in Table 1, when D1=1 / 2 and D2=1 / 4, the output power reaches its maximum . Under heavy load conditions, the high-frequency current stress of the transformer is large, and the reflux reactive power is also large, therefore, the first optimization target corresponding to the B1 mode is to jointly optimize based on zero voltage switching (ZVS) and reflux reactive power, specifically, to minimize the reflux reactive power under the premise of ensuring that all power switches realize ZVS.

[0069] In order to realize ZVS, during the dead time before the power switch is turned on, the direction of the transformer current must be able to discharge the parasitic capacitance of the power switch (i.e. Coss1, Coss2, Coss3 and Coss4). According to the waveform of Figure 3 and formula (2), the ZVS conditions of S1 and S2 are:

[0070] that is (4)

[0071] The ZVS conditions of S3 and S4 are:

[0072] that is (5)

[0073] The ZVS conditions of S5 and S6 are:

[0074] that is (6)

[0075] Further, the minimum circulating reactive power is achieved under the ZVS condition. The circulating reactive power is the power circulating within the circuit but does not contribute to the effective power transfer, which corresponds to the shaded triangular region in the bottom right subplot of FIG. 3. While a certain amount of circulating power is necessary to achieve ZVS, excessive circulating power leads to additional conduction losses, thus reducing the overall efficiency. To suppress the circulating reactive power, the geometric area of the shaded region in FIG. 3 must be minimized. According to equations (2) and (3), the circulating reactive power Figure 3 Figure 3 Figure 3

[0076] (7)

[0077] Under heavy load conditions, the joint optimization of ZVS and circulating reactive power aims to balance the trade-off between the benefits and associated losses of ZVS. By optimizing the hardware parameter design of the DAB, the dominant constraint condition becomes the ZVS condition of the lagging arm switch under the ZVS conditions (4), (5), and (6). Specifically, satisfying inequality (5) automatically guarantees the satisfaction of inequalities (4) and (6). The first optimization objective can be transformed into minimizing equation (7) under the premise of satisfying inequality (5). Revisiting Figure 3 transitions from negative to positive values between t1 and t2. To model this behavior, a staggered duty ratio coefficient is introduced, satisfying Combining equation (1), we have:

[0078] (8)

[0079] Therefore, inequality (5) and equation (7) are transformed into the following inequality (9) and equation (10), respectively:

[0080] (9)

[0081] (10)

[0082] From this, the relationship between and the ZVS condition and circulating reactive power can be derived: when , the ZVS condition is satisfied, and , the circulating reactive power is minimized. The smaller the value of , the smaller the circulating reactive power. Based on the definition of , equation (3) can be rewritten as:​​​​​​​​

[0083] (11)

[0084] Further, a reference switching frequency is introduced, and the actual switching frequency varies with it as follows:

[0085] (12)

[0086] Therefore, formula (11) can be simplified as:

[0087] i.e. (13)

[0088] Formula (13) shows that when the variable switching frequency defined by formula (12) is applied, there is a linear relationship between the output power and D1. This simplifies the parameter tuning process of the feedback controller. Based on formula (13), the calculation formula for optimizing the minimum value of the backflow reactive power is:

[0089] (14)

[0090] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a typical waveform diagram of mode C1 provided by the embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 4 , the first three groups of waveforms are the conduction waveforms of power switches S1-S6, wherein S1, S4 and S5 correspond to red waveforms, S2, S3 and S6 correspond to blue waveforms, the fourth group of waveforms is the waveform of nVp and Vs (nVp is a blue waveform and Vs is a red waveform), the fifth group is the waveform of the instantaneous transmission current of the high-frequency transformer, and the sixth group of waveforms is the waveform of the instantaneous transmission power of the high-frequency transformer. Similarly, Figure 4 , the dead time between the conduction and turn-off time of the two switches in the same bridge arm is also ignored. Based on the time marks in Figure 4 (e.g. is the S1 conduction time, is the S5 conduction time, is the S4 conduction time, is the S2 conduction time, is the S6 conduction time, is the S3 conduction time, is the S1 conduction time of the next switching period), the corresponding relationship between D1, D2 and the power switch switching time under mode C1 is as follows:

[0091] ​ (15)

[0092] where, is the switching period, i.e. the duration of .

[0093] The calculation formula of at each switching instant in mode C1 is as follows:

[0094] (16)

[0095] where, is the switching frequency under C1 mode.

[0096] Further, the output average power of the next switching period under mode C1 is:

[0097] (17)

[0098] According to the value range of D1 and D2 under mode C1 described in Table 1, when D1 = 1 / 4 and D2 = 1 / 8, the output power reaches its maximum value . It is worth noting that the maximum output power under mode C1 is half of that under mode B1, therefore, the DAB converter operates in mode C1 under light load conditions. Under light load conditions, the high-frequency current stress of the transformer is low, the circulating reactive power and conduction loss are at a low level. In this case, the power loss is mainly dominated by the switching loss. Therefore, the second optimization goal corresponding to mode C1 is to ensure ZVS for all power switches.

[0099] According to the waveform of Figure 4 and formula (16), the ZVS conditions for S1 and S2 are:

[0100] i.e. (18)

[0101] The ZVS conditions for S3 and S4 are:

[0102] i.e. (19)

[0103] The ZVS conditions for S5 and S6 are:

[0104] i.e. (20)

[0105] In order to simplify the derivation process of the ZVS conditions, the voltage conversion ratio and the power transmission ratio , which is defined as follows:

[0106] (21)

[0107] By optimizing the hardware parameter design of the DAB converter, the ZVS condition (18) can be naturally established. In combination with formula (19), formula (20) and formula (17), the ZVS condition can be re-expressed in the form of , and D1:

[0108] (22)

[0109] In the control, in order to simultaneously satisfy the two ZVS conditions, D1 is set to the average value of the upper and lower limit values of formula (22):

[0110] (23)

[0111] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a flowchart of an efficiency optimization method of a DAB converter provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a DAB converter with the topology structure shown in Figure 1 , which adopts double-phase-shift control. The method comprises the following steps:

[0112] In step S501, an output power reference value, a battery-side voltage sampling value and a bus-side voltage sampling value are obtained.

[0113] In an embodiment, a first voltage sampling device is arranged at the battery side of the DAB converter, and a second voltage sampling device is arranged at the bus side of the DAB converter. The first voltage sampling device is used to collect a low-voltage battery-side voltage sampling value in real time to obtain the battery-side voltage sampling value, and the second voltage sampling device is used to collect a high-voltage bus-side voltage sampling value in real time to obtain the bus-side voltage sampling value.

[0114] In step S502, a staggered duty ratio coefficient for achieving a first optimization target in a heavy load mode, a first phase-shift parameter in the heavy load mode and a first phase-shift parameter for achieving a second optimization target in a light load mode are calculated according to the output power reference value, the battery-side voltage sampling value and the bus-side voltage sampling value.

[0115] The control mode of the DAB converter includes single-phase-shift control, double-phase-shift control, triple-phase-shift control and other modes. Among them, the double-phase-shift control controls the shape and relative timing of the transformer primary voltage vp and the transformer secondary voltage vs by controlling the inner phase-shift angle between the primary side leading bridge arm and the primary side lagging bridge arm, and the outer phase-shift angle between the primary side leading bridge arm and the secondary bridge arm.

[0116] For the convenience of quantitative analysis, two intermediate variables are defined: a first phase shift parameter D1 and a second phase shift parameter D2. The first phase shift parameter D1 is the ratio of the nVp pulse width to the switching period Ts, that is, D1*Ts is equal to the nVp pulse width. The second phase shift parameter D2 is the ratio of the midpoint difference between the high-level pulse of Vs and the high-level pulse of nVp to the switching period, that is, D2*Ts is equal to the time length in which the midpoint of the high-level pulse of nVp leads the midpoint of the high-level pulse of Vs.

[0117] Based on the foregoing analysis, it can be known that when the power is transmitted in the positive direction, the candidate operating modes of the DAB converter are the B1 mode (that is, the heavy load mode) and the C1 mode (that is, the light load mode). In the heavy load mode, the nVp high level and the Vs high level are partially staggered and partially overlapped, and in the light load mode, the nVp high level and the Vs high level are completely overlapped. The staggered proportion coefficient is the ratio of the starting point difference between the high-level pulse of Vs and the high-level pulse of nVp to the nVp pulse width. For example, when the staggered proportion coefficient is 0.5, the nVp high level and the Vs high level are completely overlapped. Figure 3 Therefore, there are .

[0118] In the heavy load operating condition, the high-frequency current stress of the transformer is large, and the reflux reactive power is also large. In an embodiment, the first optimization target is the joint optimization based on the ZVS and the reflux reactive power, specifically, the reflux reactive power is minimized under the premise of ensuring that all power switches achieve ZVS.

[0119] In the light load operating condition, the high-frequency current stress of the transformer is low, and the reflux reactive power and the conduction loss are both at a low level. In this case, the power loss is mainly dominated by the switching loss. In an embodiment, the second optimization target is to ensure that all power switches achieve ZVS.

As can be seen from Figure 7 , the waveforms under various working conditions all show stable running states, and the ripples of voltage and current are extremely small at a low power level. With the increase of the output power reference value, the ripples slightly rise, indicating that the system can maintain stability even under high load conditions.

[0146] In the simulation experiment, the DAB runs in the light load mode (corresponding to = 100W and 300W Figure 7 ​​In (a1), (a2), (b1), and (b2), a constant frequency of 50 kHz is maintained, and the return reactive power is relatively high to ensure that all switches achieve complete ZVS. The DAB operates at the output power reference value. When the power is 500W, it runs in heavy load mode (corresponding to) Figure 7 In equations (a3) ​​and (b3), the reference switching frequency is set to 600 kHz. According to equation (12), when k=0.2, the effective switching frequency range is 300 kHz to 400 kHz. By jointly optimizing ZVS and return reactive power, the return reactive power in heavy load mode is controlled within a low range, significantly improving the efficiency of DAB.

[0147] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 7 ZVS performance diagrams for various operating conditions. (Example) Figure 8 As shown, (a1), (a2), and (a3) ​​respectively display the sampled values ​​of the low-voltage battery side voltage. =20V, Output Power Reference Value The waveforms of the drive signals of switches S1, S4, and S5 and their drain-source voltage (Vds) are shown for 100W, 300W, and 500W respectively; (b1), (b2), and (b3) show the sampled values ​​of the low-voltage battery side voltage respectively. =25V, Output Power Reference Value The waveforms of the drive signals for switches S1, S4, and S5 and their drain-source voltage (Vds) are shown for 100W, 300W, and 500W. ZVS was achieved stably in all test scenarios, demonstrating that Vds drops to zero before the switch is turned on, effectively reducing switching losses. This performance remained stable regardless of changes in battery voltage or output power reference values.
