TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power grid power supply, and particularly provides an uninterrupted power supply system based on a network-structured energy storage converter. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the acceleration of global digitalization and intelligentization, electricity has become the blood of social operation. From data centers, cloud computing platforms, industrial automation to financial transactions, medical health and communication networks, the dependence of countless critical devices and systems on electricity has reached an unprecedented level. However, the existing power grid management faces many challenges, such as complete interruption (power failure), voltage sag / rise, frequency fluctuation, harmonic distortion, and transient pulse, surge, etc. These power quality problems may cause data loss, hardware damage, production interruption, service stop, and thus cause huge economic losses. Uninterruptible power supply system (UPS) is a key power guarantee device that emerges in this background, and its core mission is to provide uninterrupted and high-quality power to the load when the power supply is abnormal or interrupted, and to ensure the continuous operation of critical businesses. After decades of development, UPS technology has formed several mainstream topologies, including backup UPS, online interactive UPS and online double-conversion UPS. However, these traditional architectures have inherent and difficult-to-reconcile contradictions between performance, efficiency and cost.
[0003] Backup UPS does not need complex rectifiers and large converters to work continuously, has fewer internal components, low technical requirements, and the lowest manufacturing cost and market price among all UPS types. However, when the power supply is abnormal and switched to battery power, there will be an interruption of 2ms to 10ms. The capacitance stored in the internal power supply of modern computers is enough to support this millisecond interruption, so this switching is usually "insensitive" to hosts, displays and other devices, and the devices will not restart. However, for some extremely precise devices, such as high-end servers, medical instruments, storage devices or some network hardware, this millisecond power failure may cause unexpected device restart, data loss or system error.
[0004] Online interactive UPS has a converter always in parallel with the output, in a "hot standby" state, so its response speed is faster than that of backup UPS when switching to battery mode, and the conversion time can be shortened to 2-4 milliseconds or even shorter. Although the switching time is very short, for critical devices that require absolute zero interruption (such as core servers in top-level data centers), this millisecond interruption may still cause unexpected device restart, data loss or system error.
[0005] The online double conversion UPS is always working for the load, and the disappearance of the mains only means that the source of the DC power is switched from the rectifier to the battery, and this process is an electronic level switching without mechanical action, and zero millisecond interruption can be realized. However, due to the large number of components, the price is higher than that of other types of UPS, and due to the fact that the electrical energy needs to be converted twice through rectification and inversion, energy is lost in the form of heat during each conversion, so the overall efficiency is relatively low, which means higher electricity charges, and additional air conditioning cooling costs are needed to eliminate the heat, which is a huge ongoing operating cost.
[0006] In actual application scenarios, there is a typical hybrid power supply working condition: a network-capable converter is connected to both local loads and the public power grid. In this system, an ideal and efficient energy management goal is to preferentially use the electrical energy output by the converter (usually connected to an energy storage system and a new energy source) to supply the local load, minimize the power taken from the power grid, thereby reducing the user's electricity cost, and achieving local energy consumption. When the load power exceeds the rated capacity threshold of the converter, the system needs to switch between different operating modes (for example, from all converter power supply to converter and grid combined power supply). If the strategy is not properly designed, it will cause a large transient impact on voltage and current at the moment of mode switching, which threatens the safe and stable operation of the converter itself and the load equipment.
[0007] Currently, there is a lack of control strategy design for this working condition in the industry, and there is an urgent need for a load uninterrupted power supply system with simple control structure, rapid dynamic response, high overall efficiency and seamless mode switching. SUMMARY

[0011] Further, the grid active instruction is set to 0, and the grid reactive instruction is set to 0.
[0012] Further, the filtering and constructing virtual orthogonal components of the collected signals include: respectively, the filter capacitor voltage signal v C , the filter capacitor current signal i o and the grid side current signal i g are substituted into the transfer function , , to calculate two-way orthogonal output signals corresponding to each input signal, wherein, is an input signal, and are two-way orthogonal output signals through the SOGI signal generator, s is the Laplace operator, is an angular frequency, and k is a SOGI parameter.

The converter can operate in both overload and non-overload conditions, and the switching between the two conditions does not affect the stability of the system.
[0018] Compared with the backup UPS and the online interactive UPS, there is no power outage time, and the efficient energy management goal can be achieved. Even if the power grid is suddenly powered off, the grid-connected energy storage converter can continue to supply power to the local load, and the normal operation of the precision equipment is not affected. Compared with the online double-conversion UPS, the electrical energy only needs to be converted once through inversion, and the overall efficiency is high, thereby filling the vacancy of the control technology in this working condition. Moreover, the present application only needs to increase an active instruction generation before the active frequency control and adjust the reactive voltage loop so that there is no reactive power transmission between the point of common coupling and the grid, and the digital control implementation is simple.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

C , filter capacitor current signal i o and grid-side current signal i g Substitute the input signal into the transfer function , The two orthogonal output signals corresponding to each input signal are calculated.
[0030] pass and Calculate the converter output power grid output active power grid output reactive power wherein, and are two quadrature output signals corresponding to the voltage signal, and are two quadrature output signals corresponding to the current signal.
[0031] Specifically, the filtered capacitor voltage signal v C corresponding two quadrature output signals and the filtered capacitor current signal i o corresponding two quadrature output signals are substituted into to calculate the converter output power , the filtered capacitor voltage signal v C corresponding two quadrature output signals and the grid side current signal i g corresponding two quadrature output signals are substituted into to calculate the grid output active power , the filtered capacitor voltage signal v C corresponding two quadrature output signals and the grid side current signal i g corresponding two quadrature output signals are substituted into to calculate the grid output reactive power .
[0032] S3: In active instruction generation, based on the grid output active power , the converter active power instruction is calculated via the first PI controller, wherein, is the grid active instruction, set to 0, is the proportional coefficient of the first PI controller, is the integral element, and the upper limit of the amplitude limiting output by the first PI controller is set to the rated power, i.e. the maximum active instruction is the rated power.

[0034] S5: In reactive voltage control, based on the grid output reactive power the deviation of the instruction value Qgref of the voltage loop QPR controller from zero wherein, is the grid reactive power instruction, set to 0, is the proportional coefficient of the second PI controller, is the integral term.
[0035] S6: In the voltage and current double-loop control, based on the phase and the given amplitude of the voltage , the output voltage given value is synthesized; Through the voltage loop QPR controller, the inductor current given value is calculated according to the deviation of the output voltage given value C from the filtered capacitor voltage signal v , wherein, is the proportional coefficient of the QPR controller, is the resonance coefficient, is the cutoff bandwidth, is the resonance frequency, set to 100Π rad / s; Through the current loop P controller and the delay link, the modulation signal is calculated according to the deviation of the inductor current given value o from the filtered capacitor current signal i , is the proportional coefficient of the P controller.
[0036] In actual engineering, the current loop output generates the modulation signal of the converter after a one-beat delay caused by calculation and loading.
[0037] Based on the above steps S1-S6, the system makes the load power less than the rated power of the converter, and the power is provided by the converter, and the grid does not provide any power. When the load power is greater than the rated power of the converter, the converter provides the rated power, and the remaining power is provided by the grid. The technology mainly includes the following aspects.
[0038] An active power command generation stage is added before the active power frequency loop. This stage generates the active power command value for the converter output. Under no-load conditions, the grid does not output active power; therefore, the given grid active power command is zero. A PI controller is used to ensure the grid active power tracks the command value without error, and the controller's output value is the converter's active power command. The feedback power of the active power command generation stage is the active power absorbed by the grid. When this power is greater than zero, it indicates that the converter is simultaneously outputting active power to both the load and the grid. The converter's active power command value needs to be reduced, thereby reducing the angle between the point of common coupling voltage and the grid voltage (i.e., the power angle), and reducing the active power transmitted to the grid until it reaches zero. When this power is less than zero, it indicates that the grid is outputting active power to the point of common coupling. The converter's active power command value needs to be increased, thereby increasing the power angle and reducing the active power transmitted from the grid to the point of common coupling until it reaches zero. Under overload conditions, the converter needs to output its rated power, and the grid also outputs active power. The error between the active power command generation loop command and the feedback quantity is greater than zero. The active power command of the converter is continuously increased through the PI controller, and the controller output is limited so that the active power command increases to its rated power.
[0039] The reactive voltage loop is used to control the power grid to not output reactive power. Given that the reactive power command of the power grid is zero, a PI controller is used to make the reactive power of the power grid track the command value without error. The sum of the controller's output value and the rated voltage is used as the amplitude of the converter's output voltage setpoint.
[0040] It should be noted that although the steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art will understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not necessarily have to be executed in such an order. They can be executed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders, and these variations are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Figure 3 This is a waveform diagram of the active power of the converter and the power grid in the uninterruptible power supply system of this invention. Figure 4 This is a waveform diagram of the reactive power of the converter and the power grid in the uninterruptible power supply system of this invention. For example... Figures 3-4 The simulation results are shown in the figure.
[0042] Before 1.5 seconds, the load was not overloaded, and the grid output active power. The value is approximately 0, meaning the entire load power is supplied by the converter.
[0043] At 1.5s, the load power suddenly increased to over 5kW, indicating that the converter's output power... Maintaining the rated value of 5kW, the excess power will be supplied by the grid. >0).
[0044] At 2.5s, the load power recovers to below the rated value. After a transient process, the system returns to the state where it is independently powered by the converter. Restored to 0).
[0045] Throughout the process, the power grid outputs reactive power. The system consistently maintains a value near 0, and remains stable during the switching between the two operating conditions.

However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments.
