[0042] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings.

[0043] As shown in the drawings, the SLCC main circuit and its SVF topology are shown in the drawings. Figure 1 is the system side inductance, is the DC filter inductance, , , is the SVF phase bridge inductance; and are the AC voltage and DC bus voltage, respectively, , , , , are the AC input current, filter branch current and phase bridge current, respectively. The SVF adopts a three-phase cascaded H-bridge structure, each phase is composed of N full-bridge sub-modules in series, and the sub-modules are numbered according to the phase sequence and position as , , , The topology structure of the full-bridge sub-module is adopted: it contains four switching devices ( ) and anti-parallel diodes ( ), and the capacitor voltage in the sub-module is usually denoted as .

[0044] As shown in the drawings, the SLCC main circuit and its SVF topology are shown in the drawings. Figure 2 ​The application discloses a sub-module power tube driving signal optimization generation method based on an SLCC-SVF system, and is applied to a linear constant current source-static reactive compensation and filter composite system (SLCC-SVF). The system is composed of a line commutated converter (LCC) and a static reactive compensation and filter (SVF) in parallel, wherein the SVF comprises a plurality of full-bridge sub-modules, each of which is composed of four power tubes, anti-parallel diodes and a capacitor. The method comprises the following steps A to D to reduce the switching frequency and optimize the driving signal.

[0045] Step A. Real-time collection of key operation quantities of each full-bridge sub-module in the SLCC-SVF system, wherein the operation quantities comprise capacitor voltage , real-time switching frequency , temperature and bridge arm current ; capacitor voltage reference value is generated according to the sampled capacitor voltage ; the theoretical voltage distribution value of each module is calculated according to the system rated DC voltage and the number N of sub-modules according to the following formula:

[0046]

[0047] The initial input polarity is determined in combination with the sampling current direction; the collected capacitor voltage, switching frequency and temperature signals are converted by an A / D converter to serve as the basis for subsequent modulation and out-of-limit judgment; and then step B is entered.

[0048] Step B. In the normal working mode, a nearest level modulation strategy (NLM) is combined with a capacitor voltage sorting and balancing strategy to generate a driving signal. The positive and negative input priorities of the sub-modules are dynamically adjusted by comparing the capacitor voltage reference value with the actual capacitor voltage value in combination with the sorting result, so that the capacitor voltage is balanced. When the comprehensive out-of-limit index of any sub-module exceeds a set threshold value 1, the driving signal generation mode of the sub-module is switched from the NLM modulation mode to a carrier phase shift pulse width modulation (CPS-PWM) mode according to the following formula:

[0049]

[0050] The comprehensive index is obtained, wherein and are the real-time switching frequency and temperature of the sub-module respectively, and are preset safety threshold values; and then step C is entered.

[0051] In practical applications, in step B above, steps B1 to B4 are executed to obtain the nearest level modulation strategy (NLM) combined with the capacitor voltage equalization control module.

[0052] Step B1. Based on the bridge arm current The direction allows for two capacitor voltage input methods: positive voltage input mode and positive voltage input mode. With negative voltage input mode When the submodule is in positive voltage input mode, the current... The current flows through the power transistor VT1 and the anti-parallel diode VD2, and the capacitor voltage is output with positive polarity, denoted as . When the submodule is in negative voltage input mode, current flows through power transistor VT3 and anti-parallel diode VD4, and the capacitor voltage is output with negative polarity, denoted as... Then proceed to step B2;

[0053] Step B2. Calculate the number of submodules to be deployed using the Nearest Level Modulation (NLM) strategy. Its mathematical expression is:

[0054]

[0055] in, This is the reference value for the submodule voltage. This refers to the capacitor voltage of the submodule. This is the integer function (rounding). Therefore, when At that time, invest Each submodule outputs a positive level; when At that time, invest | Each submodule outputs a negative level; then proceed to step B3;

[0056] Step B3. As Figure 3 As shown, a voltage balancing strategy based on capacitor voltage sorting is adopted to maintain the balance of capacitor voltages in each submodule of the system. The sorting and balancing control includes four instructions: Instruction 1 generates the number of submodules to be put into operation according to the NLM modulation strategy. Instruction 2 specifies the capacitor voltage for each submodule. Sort the data to obtain the sorted results. Instruction 3 is based on the bridge arm current. The polarity determines the switching priority; instruction 4 generates the power transistor drive signal for each submodule based on the aforementioned calculation results to achieve dynamic balance of capacitor voltage; then proceed to step B4;

[0057] Step B4. After completing the four instruction segments, the system enters an idle state before the start of the next calculation cycle to prevent instantaneous switching frequency fluctuations caused by repeated updates; the sorting update rate is constrained by the communication bandwidth and data frame length, and the result will be used to determine the system's average switching frequency in the upper and lower frequency boundary analysis. With instantaneous switching frequency The range of variation.

[0058] Step C. In CPS-PWM mode, the capacitor voltage of the abnormal module is quickly adjusted through carrier phase shift and closed-loop voltage equalization algorithm to achieve synchronous control of frequency and temperature; when the comprehensive index After the value recovers to below 1 and remains below 1 for a certain period of time (e.g., 5 switching cycles), the system automatically switches back to the NLM modulation combined with equalization strategy mode; then proceeds to step D.

[0059] In practical applications, step C above involves a carrier phase-shift pulse width modulation module (CPS-PWM module) used to generate the closed-loop voltage equalization PWM drive signal for the sub-module in over-limit mode. The CPS-PWM module includes a carrier generation unit, a phase-shift generation unit, a comparison unit, a closed-loop voltage equalization control unit, and a drive gating unit. The functions of each unit are as follows: the carrier generation unit generates N periodic carrier signals with the same frequency. The carrier is a constant-amplitude triangular wave or a sawtooth wave, and its frequency is denoted as... The phase-shifting generation unit shifts the phase of the carrier signal according to the number N sub-modules within a single-phase bridge arm, obtaining the phase shift of the first phase. Road carrier Its phase shift satisfy This achieves an evenly spaced phase staggered distribution of the carrier waves; the comparison unit will divide each phase-shifted carrier wave... With from Control reference quantity of converter Or the local reference voltage of each submodule The comparison is performed, and the result, after dead-zone processing, is used as the first... PWM pulses of submodules; closed-loop voltage equalization control unit based on real-time capacitor voltage of each submodule. With capacitor voltage reference The deviation is calculated to obtain the closed-loop voltage equalization correction amount, and the correction amount is fed back to the comparison unit in a periodic or event-triggered manner to adjust the comparison threshold or reference, thereby realizing rapid adjustment and equalization of the capacitor voltage of the over-limit submodule; the drive gating unit is driven according to the over-limit evaluation index. The system gating logic determines whether to output the PWM pulse generated by the CPS-PWM module to the switching transistor drive circuit. During mode switching, state synchronization and edge alignment measures are adopted to ensure a smooth transition of the drive signal and avoid transient impacts. The CPS-PWM module also includes a configuration unit for limiting the relationship between the carrier frequency and the closed-loop voltage equalization bandwidth to avoid oscillations caused by excessively wide closed-loop bandwidth and power quality degradation caused by excessively low carrier frequency. Thus, by coordinating carrier phase shift and closed-loop voltage equalization, peak-shifting switching of each sub-module is achieved, and the equivalent switching frequency and thermal stress of a single module are reduced.

[0060] Step D. The drive signals of the normal module and the over-limit module are filtered and output using a selector. For the normal module (S... 1) The output is a drive signal generated by NLM combined with equalization strategy. For the over-limit module (S>1), the output is a drive signal generated by CPS-PWM module to ensure that there is no transient interference during the drive signal switching process, thereby realizing the coordinated control of switching frequency and temperature.

[0061] In practical applications, step D above, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the limit-breaking judgment module uses a real-time digital comparison method to periodically calculate the comprehensive evaluation index of each sub-module. Based on this, threshold judgment and modulation mode switching control are completed without the need for additional equalization time calculation.

[0062] In practical applications, to suppress instantaneous switching frequency To limit the peak value, a synchronous update strategy is introduced into the control logic to restrict the capacitor voltage sorting results. The update condition is only applied to the number of entries in the submodule. Triggered when changes occur Update, thereby making The maximum value is limited to , express Total number of switching cycles per submodule within 1 second , Indicates the switching frequency.

[0063] In practical applications, to limit the average switching frequency The growth, based on communication bandwidth The data frame length (Data) of the submodule is calculated using the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] Obtain capacitor voltage sorting results Update lower limit frequency ,in, DC side voltage Where C is the peak current of the bridge arm, C is the capacitance of the submodule, and N is the number of submodules; when Update frequency is lower than At this time, the system automatically enters the equivalent frequency reduction equalization mode to ensure that the capacitor voltage fluctuation is less than 100%. .

[0066] The aforementioned technical solution proposes an optimized generation method for submodule power transistor drive signals based on an SLCC-SVF system. Targeting the operating characteristics of a linear constant current source-static var compensator-filter composite system (SLCC-SVF), it constructs a drive signal generation mechanism centered on adaptive modulation switching. This method first generates capacitor voltage reference values ​​by real-time acquisition of capacitor voltage, switching frequency, and temperature for each submodule. Under normal operating conditions, it uses nearest-nearest-level modulation (NLM) combined with a capacitor voltage sorting and equalization strategy to generate drive signals, achieving dynamic voltage equalization control. When a submodule is detected to have exceeded its frequency or temperature limits, the system automatically switches to carrier phase-shift pulse width modulation (CPS-PWM) mode, utilizing multi-carrier phase misalignment and closed-loop voltage equalization algorithms to achieve rapid adjustment and thermal stress balance for the over-limited module. A synchronous update algorithm restricts the update conditions of the sorting results, effectively constraining the instantaneous switching frequency peak. Furthermore, it calculates the lower limit frequency for voltage sorting updates based on the communication bandwidth to prevent increased losses due to excessively high average frequencies. This design scheme enables coordinated control of submodule switching frequency and temperature, significantly reducing additional switching losses and voltage fluctuations, improving system operating efficiency and stability, and has wide application value in high voltage DC transmission, dynamic reactive power compensation and multilevel conversion devices.

[0067] A simulation experimental platform was built according to the technical solution of this invention. Experiments were conducted using both the traditional capacitor voltage sorting equalization strategy and the adaptive modulation switching strategy proposed in this invention. The voltage and current waveform curves at their respective LCC voltage equalization frequencies were obtained, as shown below. Figures 4-9 As shown in the figure, the voltage and current waveforms of two control strategies are presented under voltage equalization frequencies of 100Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz. It can be seen from the figure that the voltage and current waveforms under the traditional capacitor voltage sorting equalization strategy exhibit significant high-frequency fluctuations and voltage spikes, large bridge arm current distortion, and irregular jumps in instantaneous switching frequency, leading to increased dynamic deviations in the submodule capacitor voltages. However, after adopting the adaptive modulation switching strategy proposed in this invention, the voltage waveform is significantly smoother, the current distortion rate is significantly reduced, and the switching frequency distribution is more uniform, especially at a voltage equalization frequency of 1000Hz. Simulation experiments show that the average switching frequency using the traditional capacitor voltage sorting equalization strategy and the average switching frequency using the improved optimized strategy are shown in Table 1. After adopting the adaptive modulation switching strategy, the average switching frequency decreases significantly. The experimental results verify that this method has excellent dynamic response performance and engineering application value in high-voltage multilevel conversion systems.
