Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of DC power distribution system converters, specifically relating to a three-phase asymmetric hybrid dual active bridge converter and its soft-switching modulation method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing penetration rate of new energy sources and the widespread application of distributed power systems, traditional AC systems have faced numerous limitations in handling distributed power source access and DC load supply, such as low conversion efficiency and poor power quality. DC distribution systems, due to their high efficiency, ease of control, and natural access to renewable energy, are expected to replace traditional AC systems and become a more promising technological solution.
[0003] In DC power distribution systems that integrate renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind power, the intermittent and fluctuating nature of these sources often leads to asymmetrical power flow. Specifically, the system's demand for reverse power transmission is far less than its demand for forward power transmission, and reverse power transmission occurs only a small proportion of the system's lifespan. Traditional bidirectional DC-DC converters have equal forward and reverse power transmission capabilities, resulting in reverse capacity redundancy and unnecessary construction costs.
[0004] Therefore, while ensuring forward power transmission capacity, the redundancy of reverse power transmission capacity can be reduced by replacing some fully controlled devices with uncontrolled devices, thereby reducing system cost. Summary of the Invention

Its specific working principle is as follows. To simplify the calculation process of its power characteristics, it is assumed that the voltage of each port is approximately constant.
[0054] The following analysis examines the operation mode and power characteristics of the three-phase asymmetric hybrid dual active bridge converter under two modes: forward power transfer mode and reverse power transfer mode.
[0055] A. Forward power transfer mode operation and power characteristics
[0056] In forward power transfer mode, the converter transfers power from the input port to the output port. In this mode, the converter latches the power switch. and The converter's operating diagram at this time is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0057] Under forward operating conditions, the converter employs duty cycle control, specifically: the converter's switching cycle is... The drive pulses of the A, B, and C phase arms of the three-phase fully controlled bridge circuit are sequentially phase-differentiated.

The converter drive pulse waveform, the primary line voltage of the three-phase transformer, and the secondary phase voltage waveform are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0058] Based on the operating waveform of the three-phase asymmetric hybrid dual active bridge converter under forward operating conditions, the power transfer characteristics under forward operating conditions can be derived as shown below.
[0059] When DC voltage conversion ratio Satisfy 1 / 2 < When <2 / 3, the transmission power relationship satisfies:
[0060]
[0061] When DC voltage conversion ratio Satisfy 2 / 3 < When <1, the transmission power relationship satisfies:
[0062]
[0063] B. Reverse power transfer mode operation and power characteristics
[0064] In reverse power transfer mode, the converter transfers power from the output port to the input port. In this mode, the converter latches the power switch. and Due to the control of DC voltage conversion ratio Within the range, when the converter operates in reverse power transfer mode, the fully controlled C-phase bridge arm power switch of the blocked three-phase fully controlled bridge circuit will jointly block the uncontrolled B and C-phase diode bridge arms of the three-phase hybrid bridge arm. A typical converter node voltage diagram under reverse operation is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, when 0.5 < When the voltage is less than 1, the diode cannot conduct because the anode voltage is always less than the cathode voltage. The converter's operating diagram at this time is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0065] Under reverse operating conditions, the converter employs extended phase-shift control, specifically: the converter's half-switching period is... The drive pulses of power switch S1 and power switch S4 in the three-phase fully controlled bridge circuit are out of phase. The drive pulse of power switch S1 is out of phase with the drive pulse of power switch Q1 in the three-phase hybrid bridge circuit. The waveforms of the converter drive pulse, the primary and secondary line voltages of phase A, and the primary line current of phase A are as follows: Figure 6 As shown.
[0066] Based on the operating waveform of the three-phase asymmetric hybrid dual active bridge converter under reverse operating conditions, the power transfer characteristics under reverse operating conditions can be derived as shown below.
[0067] Under reverse operating conditions, the converter's power transfer relationship satisfies:
[0068]
