Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to power electronics and power quality management technology, and in particular to an energy storage-type UPQC and a switching state predictive control method based on improved model predictive control. Background Technology
[0002] With the large-scale integration of new energy sources (wind power, photovoltaics, etc.) and the intensification of load fluctuations, power quality problems are becoming increasingly prominent, including voltage sags, voltage rises, flicker, imbalances, and harmonic distortion. These problems seriously affect the stable operation of sensitive industrial loads and distributed power sources.
[0003] The Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) consists of series and parallel active power filters and a DC energy storage unit. The series and parallel active power filters can simultaneously suppress voltage disturbances and current harmonics. However, traditional UPQCs rely on the capacitors on the DC energy storage unit side for energy support, which is insufficient for energy buffering under long-term disturbances and multi-constraint conditions, leading to a decline in compensation performance. Model predictive control (MPC) can handle system constraints, such as converter capacity and voltage / current limits, and adapt to parameter changes through rolling optimization, enhancing the robustness of UPQC under nonlinear loads and grid disturbances.
[0004] Currently, existing technologies incorporate Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to enhance the energy support capabilities of UPQC (Upgraded Product Quality Control). For example, patent CN120710060A discloses a model predictive control method and device for a two-stage coupled battery energy storage grid-connected converter. This innovatively models the bidirectional DC / DC converter and inverter modules in the energy storage system together, and based on the model predictive control method, constructs a unified cost function that comprehensively considers AC side current (inverter output current) and capacitor voltage, achieving multi-objective coordinated optimization control. Alternatively, patent CN120566388A discloses a method based on the voltage and current ripple resistance of the power converter in a hybrid energy storage system. The dynamic mismatch prediction and control method first samples the voltage and current information of the battery and supercapacitor in the hybrid energy storage system to update the system's state space in real time. Then, it calculates the current reference values of the battery and supercapacitor based on the power loop and cost function of the MPC. Based on the current reference value of the supercapacitor, it determines the current dynamic or steady-state condition of the system and generates a trigger signal. The trigger signal is used to drive the active model mismatch mechanism to dynamically adjust the inductance and capacitance values of the power loop and current loop of the MPC. At the same time, it triggers an adaptive constraint algorithm to optimize the online constraint conditions. Finally, it generates a control signal to regulate the system operation.
[0005] However, existing control methods do not fully consider the state of charge (SOC), power constraints, and energy management of energy storage, resulting in a lack of effective coordination between energy storage and compensation, leading to dynamic response delays or insufficient compensation accuracy.

[0060] An energy storage system, comprising a battery pack and a bidirectional DC / DC converter, wherein the bidirectional DC / DC converter connects the energy storage system to the DC bus;
[0061] An energy management system, one end of which is connected to the energy storage system, is used to monitor the state of charge of the energy storage system in real time, dynamically adjust control parameters according to the state of charge and operating mode of the energy storage system, and output reference power or target value of state of charge to the controller.
[0062] The controller, with one end connected to the energy management system and the other end bidirectionally connected to the series active filter, is used to introduce reference power and state-of-charge dynamic equations into the model predictive control (MPC) and iteratively determine the minimum vector as the optimal switching state by combining the constructed cost function.
[0063] The DC-side support circuit includes two electrolytic capacitors connected in series. The midpoint of the two electrolytic capacitors is connected to the zero potential point of the series active filter. The two electrolytic capacitors together maintain the stability of the DC bus voltage.
[0064] In a preferred embodiment, a series active power filter (SAPF) is connected between the power grid and the nonlinear load to compensate for voltage disturbances.

The DC / DC interface connects the energy storage system to the DC bus, enabling bidirectional energy flow. It can release energy during grid disturbances and absorb energy when the grid is stable. Preferably, the energy storage system in this embodiment is a battery energy storage system or a supercapacitor energy storage system, and can switch between charging, discharging, and standby states under different operating modes. More specifically, the energy storage system is a lithium-ion battery pack or a supercapacitor pack.
[0068] The Energy Management System (EMS) monitors the State of Charge (SOC) of the energy storage system in real time and dynamically adjusts control parameters based on the SOC status and operating mode, such as prioritizing compensation or energy storage, and outputs reference power or target SOC value to the controller.
[0069] The controller employs the Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) algorithm, which incorporates energy storage power and SOC dynamic equations into the prediction model. The cost function comprehensively considers: voltage and current tracking errors; DC bus voltage stability; energy storage SOC constraints and energy utilization efficiency; and switching loss optimization.
[0070] In this embodiment, in each sampling period, 27 candidate switch vectors are predicted and calculated, and the optimal switch state is selected to act on the inverter to achieve coordinated optimization of energy storage and compensation.
[0071] Example 2: Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also provides a switch state prediction control method based on energy storage-type UPQC, which includes the following steps:
[0072] Step 1: Collect grid voltage, current and SOC signal.
[0073] In this embodiment, signal acquisition involves acquiring the three-phase AC phase voltages provided by the power grid. and current Electrolytic capacitors in the DC-side support circuit and The two voltages of the DC bus Three-phase AC phase voltage on a series active filter Three-phase AC phase voltage on parallel active converter Three-phase AC phase voltage on the load side and current And the state of charge of the energy storage system; that is state.
[0074] Step 2: Obtain the grid voltage phase through a phase-locked loop, and then use...
[0075] Clarke / Park Transformation calculation voltage reference value or current reference value .
[0076] Specifically, the grid voltage phase is obtained through a PLL (phase-locked loop). The Clarke and Park transformations are used to convert the three-phase voltage and current to... αβ or dq The coordinate system generates voltage compensation reference values and current compensation reference values.
[0077] Introducing energy storage power into the prediction model Dynamic equations;
[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the Euler discretized state equations for the series branches are constructed: ;
[0079] In the above formula, For the filter inductor and filter capacitor in the series branch, Sampling time, for Clarke After the change, the series converter outputs three-phase line current. for Clarke The three-phase AC phase voltages on the series converter after the change for Clarke The voltage on the series converter side after the change for Clarke The compensation current output by the series converter;
[0080] The Euler discretized state equation for the parallel branch current is expressed as:
[0081] ;
[0082] In the above formula, For the resistor and filter inductor in the parallel branch, Sampling time, The output three-phase line current of the parallel converter after Clarke variation. for Clarke The three-phase AC phase voltages on the parallel converter after the change for Clarke The three-phase AC phase voltage on the load side after the change;
[0083] The dynamic process of the capacitor voltage on the DC energy storage side is modeled in the discrete-time domain as follows: ;
[0084] in, This refers to the instantaneous active power on the DC energy storage side. For switching and conduction losses, These are the two voltages of the DC bus. Sampling time, This is a DC-side energy storage support capacitor. This is the DC side current. for Clarke The altered power grid provides three-phase AC phase voltages. for Clarke The three-phase line current output by the power grid. The IGBT switching and conduction losses in a series-parallel converter are as follows: when the IGBT is turned on, it continuously generates heat, similar to the heat loss of a resistor; when the IGBT is switched on, it is similar to the energy loss of switching.
[0085] Dynamic equations: ;
[0086] in, This refers to the battery current in the energy storage system. For energy storage unit power, Battery rated energy.
[0087] Energy storage power dynamic equation: ;
[0088] in, For optimal charge / discharge efficiency, in practical implementation, if the battery is approximately directly connected to the bus, a value of [value] can be taken. .
[0089] Considering current, voltage, Multiple factors, including grid-side current and power constraints, are considered. This invention establishes a system that incorporates grid-side current, load voltage, DC link power, and energy storage. The multi-state equations enable unified modeling of power quality and energy flow in UPQC systems. Specifically, the voltage and current equations are used to predict the system's dynamic behavior under various candidate switching states. The equations describe the energy evolution of the energy storage unit, while the DC-link equations maintain energy balance. This modeling method enables the FCS-MPC controller to simultaneously consider compensation accuracy and energy utilization efficiency when solving for optimal switching states, thereby improving stability under long-term disturbances and the collaborative capability of the energy storage system.
[0090] Step 4: Construct a multi-objective cost function, which simultaneously considers voltage and current tracking errors, DC bus voltage deviation, SOC deviation, and switching losses. For the... k Any candidate in each sampling period s Predicted k The stage cost function of +1 is expressed as: ;
[0091] In the formula: The three-phase AC phase voltages on the parallel converter, For reference current, This is the voltage on the series converter side. For reference voltage, This is the DC bus voltage. This is the DC bus reference voltage. for Reference value These are the switching and conduction losses of the IGBT. As a current reference, As a voltage reference, As a DC reference, for Error reference As a power reference, As the reference for switch operation, The weighting factor can be dynamically adjusted according to the EMS operating mode. These are the current tracking weighting coefficient, voltage tracking weighting coefficient, and DC stability weighting coefficient, respectively. Management weight coefficient, switching penalty weight coefficient, and loss-related weight coefficient.
[0092] In this formula, each curly brace indicates the cost function corresponding to each part, which respectively represents the parallel-side current tracking function, the series-side voltage tracking function, the DC bus stability function, the SOC management function, the switching frequency penalty function, and the loss-related function.
[0093] Step 5: Predict and evaluate candidate switch vectors within a finite control set, and gradually screen them by combining hard and soft constraints.
[0094] In this embodiment, the controller sets hard constraints and soft constraints in the cost function: the soft constraints are used to control the DC bus deviation and the upper limit of voltage injection, and are implemented through relaxation variables.
[0095] The constraints are processed, and the hard constraint function is (cannot be violated):
[0096] in, This represents the maximum value of the power constraint. This represents the minimum value of the power constraint. For power constraints, , For the first The predicted current, the maximum DC current is , For the first The predicted DC power is as follows: maximum DC power is The maximum voltage of the DC bus is If this constraint is violated, the candidate state is deemed infeasible.
[0097] Soft constraints (may be slightly violated): Relaxed variables are used for DC bus deviation, upper limit of injected voltage, etc.
[0098]
[0099] in, To predict the DC bus voltage at different step sizes, This is a reference value for the DC bus voltage. For the maximum allowable voltage deviation, For the first The voltage soft-constraint relaxation variable predicted in the step. This represents the predicted value of the series injection voltage. This represents the maximum injected voltage. To inject voltage soft constraint relaxation variables, and to avoid the optimization problem becoming unsolvable due to hard constraints, relaxation variables are introduced. , To achieve a soft constraint mechanism, the relaxation variables are non-negative, reflecting the extent of constraint overruns, and a penalty term is added to the cost function, thereby improving the system's robustness and dynamic feasibility while ensuring safety constraints.
[0100] This invention introduces a soft-constraint penalty term to construct the total cost function based on the stage cost function. Hard constraints are used to limit the feasible search space, while soft constraints reflect the degree of boundary breaches through penalty relaxation variables, thereby achieving flexible adjustment of voltage, current, and energy storage power constraints. By combining stepwise screening with penalty correction, the optimization process balances real-time performance and stability.
[0101] Step 6: Determine the optimal switching vector through value function optimization.
[0102] In this embodiment, within each sampling period, the 27 switch vectors of the finite control set are traversed; the future voltage and current under each switch state are predicted. ;
[0103] Multi-step prediction and rolling optimization, when the prediction step size is At that time, for candidates The total cost function is: ;
[0104] in, Indicates the first The stage cost function of the step. These are slack variables (soft constraint out-of-bounds variables). Let be the first-order penalty vector applied to the slack variables.
[0105] This is a discount factor used to balance the weights of current and future prediction steps. When When the value approaches 1, the controller balances long-term performance and energy balance; when... When the value is small, the controller focuses more on short-time dynamic response. The introduction of this factor can strike a trade-off between rapid compensation and system stability, improving the temporal consistency of multi-step prediction models.
[0106] Calculate the cost function value and prune candidate vectors that do not meet the hard constraints in advance;
[0107] Finally, the vector with the minimum cost function is selected as the optimal switching state.
[0108] Step 7: Apply the optimal switching vector to the series and parallel active filters to perform synergistic optimization of power quality compensation and energy storage management.
[0109] In this embodiment, the optimal switching vector is applied to the inverter; the series APF injects voltage compensation to maintain load voltage stability; the parallel APF outputs compensation current to suppress harmonics and support the DC bus; the energy storage system releases or absorbs energy as needed to collaboratively achieve power quality management.
[0110] To better understand and implement this invention, this embodiment uses a three-phase three-wire system as an example, but the invention is not limited to this and can also be applied to other system topologies. These include:
[0111] In this embodiment of the application, the topology of the energy storage type unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the structure includes:
