Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of grid-connected inverter current closed-loop control, specifically a sensorless control method for three-phase grid-connected inverters based on model identification and sensing. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial interface device between renewable energy generation and the power grid, the continuous and reliable operation of grid-connected inverters is paramount. Inverters require sampling the AC-side inductor current to complete dual closed-loop control. Because inverters operate under harsh conditions of electrothermal stress and strong electromagnetic interference, current sensor failure can easily lead to system collapse. Therefore, current sensor fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control have significant research and application value.

[0003] Current sensor failures can be categorized into jamming, gain failure, and offset failure. In traditional balanced three-phase grid-connected systems, after a single current sensor failure, the faulty phase current can be calculated from the currents of the remaining two phases, thus achieving fault-tolerant control. However, when faced with failures of two or more sensors, existing methods have improved system reliability by increasing the number of current sensors and utilizing hardware backups to achieve redundant control under fault conditions. However, hardware backups increase system complexity and cost. Therefore, sensorless control offers significant advantages.

[0004] Previous research and applications of sensorless inverter control have primarily focused on fault current reconstruction, current loop-free control, and predictive current control. Predictive control methods offer advantages such as fast response and strong interference suppression, but the observer setup process is complex and requires high model accuracy. Current loop-free control eliminates the current control loop, thus eliminating the need for a current sensor, but its dynamic performance is poor. Fault current reconstruction methods can be implemented using sliding mode observers to reconstruct the fault current and dq-axis current functions. Sliding mode observer current reconstruction requires a high-quality model, while dq-axis current reconstruction is complex due to dq-axis coupling and requires high accuracy of filter parameters, limiting its application.

[0005] The key to improving the observation accuracy of the output current of a current sensor is to obtain a current observation function that is simple, easy to derive, and more accurate. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The voltage and current along the αβ axis of the inductor filter are directly related. Therefore, by using the voltage along the αβ axis of the filter inductor and combining it with the inductor model, the αβ axis current can be obtained. The dq axis current can then be obtained through Park transformation. The reconstruction function model for the αβ axis current along the inductor satisfies the following formula:

[0007]

[0008] L1 is the AC side filter inductor, r1 is the parasitic resistance of the filter inductor, and i gα i gβ It is the αβ axis component of the inductor current, u tα u tβ It is the αβ axis component of the inverter's AC side output voltage, u gα u gβ α is the component of the grid voltage along the αβ axis, and s is the differential operator.

[0009] Based on the αβ-axis voltage and inductance model, the αβ-axis current of the inductor can be obtained. After being converted to the dq-axis current through Park transformation, it is used for current closed-loop feedback control. Inverter output voltage u tα u tβ Containing a large number of switching frequency harmonics, the control loop modulates the waveform with the inverter's DC voltage, and u is observed. Nα u Nβ Voltage within the inverter's control bandwidth range.

[0010]

[0011] In the formula: u tαref with u tβref These are the modulated waves along the α and β axes generated in the inverter control loop, respectively. The abc axis modulated waves are obtained from the control loop via Clark transform. dc This is the DC side voltage of the inverter.

[0012] Due to the influence of ambient temperature and the magnitude of the current flowing through it, the actual parameters of the filter inductor L will change. Continuing to use the current reconstruction function model with a fixed inductor model after these parameter changes will significantly affect the accuracy of the reconstructed current. Therefore, the previously used current reconstruction function model is updated and replaced with the identified observation function model.

[0013] Using the inductor voltage and current along the αβ axis as input signals, the model order was determined by solving the current reconstruction function using the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. The current identification transfer function model used is as follows:

[0014]

[0015] The current reconstruction function model of the previous fixed inductance model was replaced by an identification transfer function model with a good fit of greater than 85%.

[0016]

[0017] Based on the above formula, the αβ axis reconstructed current is obtained. The αβ axis reconstructed current is then transformed by Park to obtain the dq axis reconstructed current, which replaces the sampling current. This enables sensorless fault-tolerant control and identifies the current reconstructed by the transfer function to eliminate errors caused by inductor aging. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The voltage and current along the αβ axis of the inductor filter are directly related. Therefore, by using the voltage along the αβ axis of the filter inductor and combining it with the inductor model, the αβ axis current can be obtained. The dq axis current can then be obtained through Park transformation. The reconstruction function model for the αβ axis current along the inductor satisfies the following formula:

[0032]

[0033] L1 is the AC side filter inductor, r1 is the parasitic resistance of the filter inductor, and i gα i gβIt is the αβ axis component of the inductor current, u tα u tβ It is the αβ axis component of the inverter's AC side output voltage, u gα u gβ α is the component of the grid voltage along the αβ axis, and s is the differential operator.

[0034] Based on the αβ-axis voltage and inductance model, the αβ-axis current of the inductor can be obtained. After being converted to the dq-axis current through Park transformation, it is used for current closed-loop feedback control. Inverter output voltage u tα u tβ Containing a large number of switching frequency harmonics, the control loop modulates the waveform with the inverter's DC voltage, and u is observed. Nα u Nβ Voltage within the inverter's control bandwidth range.

[0035]

[0036] In the formula: u tαref with u tβref These are the modulated waves along the α and β axes generated in the inverter control loop, respectively. The abc axis modulated waves are obtained from the control loop via Clark transform. dc This is the DC side voltage of the inverter.

[0037] Due to the influence of ambient temperature and the magnitude of the current flowing through it, the actual parameters of the filter inductor L will change. Continuing to use the current reconstruction function model with a fixed inductor model after these parameter changes will significantly affect the accuracy of the reconstructed current. Therefore, the previously used current reconstruction function model is updated and replaced with the identified observation function model.

[0038] Using the inductor voltage and current along the αβ axis as input signals, the model order was determined by solving the current reconstruction function using the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. The current identification transfer function model used is as follows:

[0039]

[0040] The current reconstruction function model of the previous fixed inductance model was replaced by an identification transfer function model with a good fit of greater than 85%.

[0041]

[0042] Based on the above formula, the αβ axis reconstructed current is obtained. The αβ axis reconstructed current is then transformed by Park to obtain the dq axis reconstructed current, which replaces the sampling current. This enables sensorless fault-tolerant control and identifies the current reconstructed by the transfer function to eliminate errors caused by inductor aging.

[0043] Figure 5These are simulation waveforms before and after replacing the identification and reconstruction function according to the present invention. The reconstructed current obtained using the identification and reconstruction function has a small steady-state error and good dynamic performance, and can quickly track the response of the current step, thus proving the effectiveness and accuracy of the identification and reconstruction current.

[0044] Figure 6 This is a simulation waveform diagram before and after the sensorless control switching of this invention. At 0.25s, the d-axis current reference value decreases from 50A to 25A. At 0.5s, the switch to sensorless control occurs, and at 0.75s, the d-axis current reference value jumps from 25A to 50A. Analysis of the three-phase current waveforms and dq-axis currents before and after the sensorless control switch shows no significant change in either the three-phase current or the dq-axis current. This demonstrates the effectiveness and accuracy of the sensorless inverter control proposed in this invention. In summary, the above analysis shows that when using the model recognition-based sensing-based sensorless control method for three-phase grid-connected inverters proposed in this invention, the safe and reliable operation of the system can be guaranteed even when all current sensors are unavailable.
