[0014] Figure 1 As shown, it includes: an energy storage battery, an AC bus, a DC bus, AC / DC ports, and a controller. The AC / DC ports provide multiple ports to connect to the AC bus, DC bus, AC load, DC load, and the power grid respectively, and the AC / DC ports communicate with the controller. The AC / DC ports provide multiple power conversion modules, including: a DC / DC module, a DC / AC module I, and a DC / AC module II. The DC / DC module realizes bidirectional energy conversion between the energy storage battery and the DC bus, and supports functions such as constant voltage charging and constant current discharging. One DC end of the DC / DC module is connected to the energy storage battery, and the other DC end is connected to the DC side of DC / AC module I and DC / AC module II, and provides interfaces to connect to DC sources and DC loads. DC / AC module I has its AC side connected to the power grid, and is used to invert DC power on the DC bus into AC power to feed into the power grid. It can also absorb power from the power grid to charge the DC bus, and has the function of bidirectional energy conversion. DC / AC module II is divided into two parts. One part of the AC side is connected to the AC load, and inverts the DC bus power into AC power to supply the load. The other part is connected to the AC source, such as wind power or hydropower.
[0015] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the AC / DC port provides multiple ports for connecting loads and AC / DC sources to form AC links and DC links. The AC / DC port includes: at least one DC source input port P4, at least one DC load port P6, at least one AC source input port P2, at least one AC load port P3, and at least one grid port P1. The grid port P1 is also equipped with a circuit breaker S1, which enters islanding mode when the circuit breaker S1 is open.
[0016] Furthermore, the controller employs hierarchical control, including a local controller and a power controller, which communicate with circuit breaker S1, the DC / DC module, DC / AC module I, and DC / AC module II to measure relevant signals at each port in real time, thereby achieving optimal system operation. Grid-connected operation: When circuit breaker S1 is closed, the power grid is connected to the AC / DC microgrid system. The AC / DC power supply is used to compensate for each other / switch to supply power to the load, and can charge the energy storage battery and feed the grid. If the grid electricity price is high or the user's electricity consumption is large, and when the energy storage battery SOC is greater than the upper limit threshold (e.g., 90%), the energy storage battery supplies power to the load through the DC bus.
[0017] Islanding Operation: When an abnormal grid voltage or frequency exceeding the limit is detected, the controller issues a command to disconnect the circuit breaker S1, and the system automatically switches to islanding mode. The energy storage battery and DC power source jointly maintain the stability of the DC bus voltage; the DC / AC module II continuously supplies power to the AC load to ensure uninterrupted operation of important loads.
[0018] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the AC / DC ports adopt a three-wire capacitor-coupled topology, including a four-wire AC port module, an equalization module, and a three-wire DC port. The power grid, AC source, and AC load are respectively connected to the AC side of the four-wire AC port. Figure 2 , Figure 3 Ports P1, P2, and P3 are shown. The four-wire AC port module uses a three-phase bridge circuit. The equalization module is connected to the DC side of the four-wire AC port module and the three-wire DC port to absorb transient voltage spikes and regulate DC voltage balance.
[0019] Furthermore, in DC / AC module I, the AC side is connected to the power grid, and the DC side is connected to the common DC bus via the equalization module. DC / AC module I includes: N-type MOSFETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6, and Q7, forming a three-phase bridge circuit. The DC side of the bridge circuit is connected to the DC bus after passing through the equalization circuit composed of N-type MOSFETs Q4 and Q8, resistor R4, capacitor C4, and capacitor C5.
[0020] Furthermore, the AC side of DC / AC module II is connected to both AC load and AC source. The topology connecting the AC source includes N-type MOSFETs Q17, Q18, Q19, Q20, Q21, and Q22, forming a three-phase bridge circuit. The DC side of this circuit is connected to the common DC bus after passing through an equalization module consisting of N-type MOSFETs Q37 and Q38, resistor R12, capacitor C14, and capacitor C15. The topology connecting the AC load includes N-type MOSFETs Q31, Q32, Q33, Q34, Q35, and Q36. The DC side of the three-phase bridge circuit formed by these components is connected to the DC bus after passing through an equalization module consisting of N-type MOSFETs Q39 and Q40, resistor R13, capacitor C23, and capacitor C24.
[0021] Furthermore, the DC / DC module includes a bridge rectifier circuit consisting of four N-type MOSFETs, a diode connected in parallel at the DC port, and a port capacitor to prevent damage to the capacitors caused by transient voltages.
