Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a control method and system for a bidirectional DC / DC converter in an energy storage system, belonging to the field of chemical energy storage control technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing installed capacity of renewable energy, energy storage systems are receiving high attention from countries around the world. Energy storage systems typically offer design options for single-stage and two-stage architectures, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in the primary structure scheme, the energy storage system includes a PCS unit and a battery. One end of the PCS unit is connected to the grid / load, and the other end is connected to the battery. The voltage between the PCS unit and the power grid / load. This refers to the battery voltage, which changes during charging and discharging.

[0003] like Figure 2 As shown, in the two-stage structure scheme, the energy storage system includes a PCS unit, a battery, and a DC / DC converter. One end of the PCS unit is connected to the power grid, and the other end of the PCS unit is connected to the battery via the DC / DC converter. The voltage between the PCS unit and the power grid / load; This is the voltage between the PCS unit and the DC / DC converter, also known as the bus voltage. This refers to the battery voltage. In the aforementioned energy storage system, a battery typically refers to a battery pack formed by connecting several battery cells in series, parallel, or a combination of series and parallel connections; the PCS unit is a power conversion system, which can be simply referred to as a PCS unit; the battery voltage during charging / discharging operation... Changes over time.

[0004] Energy storage systems are primarily designed to meet the system's requirements for voltage, capacity, and power. The efficiency of an energy storage system usually refers to the efficiency of energy conversion, which is the ratio of the effective output energy to the input energy during the process of storing and releasing energy.

[0005] Figure 1 The single-stage structure shown features a simple system structure, low investment cost, and high energy conversion efficiency, with overall energy conversion efficiency typically superior to the two-stage structure. However, its disadvantages include the requirement that the battery output voltage must strictly match the DC input voltage range of the PCS unit, limiting the flexibility of series-parallel battery configuration. Furthermore, it has weak resistance to voltage fluctuations; if the battery voltage changes with the battery's state of charge (SOC) and exceeds the input voltage range of the PCS unit, the system may malfunction.

[0006] Figure 2The two-stage architecture shown features high voltage flexibility, allowing the DC / DC converter to boost / buck, decoupling the battery voltage from the PCS unit input voltage, and support for a wide range of battery configurations. By optimizing the operating efficiency and power of the PCS unit, the DC / DC converter can adjust the battery voltage to the optimal operating point of the PCS unit, such as the PCS's highest input voltage, while simultaneously increasing the PCS's grid connection point voltage. This approach increases the power output of the PCS unit while keeping the input current constant, thus reducing the cost per unit power density of the PCS. The downside is increased system control complexity.

[0007] Because DC / DC converters require bidirectional energy flow to charge and discharge batteries, bidirectional Buck / Boost converters are used as DC / DC converters in energy storage systems. The topology of the DC / DC converter is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0008] In traditional methods, the control method for DC / DC converters in energy storage systems is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, a fixed switching frequency is used in the control process, based on the battery voltage. The changes in voltage are stabilized by adjusting the on / off times of switching transistors S1 and S2. The relationship between battery voltage and bus voltage is as follows:

[0009] ;

[0010] In the formula, Battery voltage, Where is the bus voltage, D is the duty cycle of switch S1, and the duty cycle of switch S2 is 1-D.

[0011] The theoretical range of D is 0~100%. If D=100%, then the bus voltage can theoretically be equal to the battery voltage, i.e. In practical applications, the actual control duty cycle of switch S1 cannot reach its maximum value of 100%, causing the bus voltage to be greater than the battery voltage. Furthermore, to avoid a short circuit caused by simultaneous switching of switches S1 and S2, a switching dead time exists between switches S1 and S2 in actual use. Dead time The duty cycle loss leads to voltage loss.

[0012] Figure 4 The formula for calculating the maximum value of the bus voltage is as follows:

[0013] ;

[0014] In the formula, This represents the maximum value of the bus voltage. This refers to the voltage loss at the highest point of the battery voltage. This represents the maximum battery voltage.

[0015] The voltage drop is the difference between the bus voltage and the battery voltage required to maintain bus voltage stability, after considering duty cycle voltage loss, and is set with a 10% control margin, as shown in the following formula:

[0016] ;

[0017] In the formula, The voltage drop caused by the duty cycle loss due to dead time. Calculated using the following formula:

[0018] ;

[0019] In the formula, Duty cycle loss due to dead time. Calculated using the following formula:

[0020] ;

[0021] In the formula, When it is a dead zone, The switching cycle.

[0022] The presence of voltage loss affects the actual energy utilization rate of the battery. Therefore, a method is needed to minimize the voltage loss between the battery voltage and the bus voltage in order to improve the energy utilization rate of the battery. Summary of the Invention

[0069] The two-stage energy storage system used in this invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the circuit structure of the DC / DC converter is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the improved control method of the present invention is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0070] During battery charging / discharging operation, the voltage... With current Changes in the NTC temperature inside the switching transistor chip of the DC / DC converter Changes, and the switching frequency of the DC / DC converter Synchronous dynamic changes, and the dead time of the DC / DC converter. It also changes dynamically in sync; the dead time of the DC / DC converter The change is the same as the battery current. The relationship changes inversely with the NTC temperature inside the switching transistor chip of the DC / DC converter. The changes are directly proportional.

[0071] The control method of the present invention is based on the input battery voltage of the DC / DC converter. Dynamically allocate the switching frequency of the DC / D converter C. and adjusting the output voltage ,

[0072] The switching frequency of a DC / DC converter changes with the input voltage. The change is linear, consisting of two segments.

[0073] The first segment, the low-voltage segment, has a fixed switching frequency. Dead time The first interval remains unchanged as ;

[0074] The second segment, the high-voltage segment, has a switching frequency equal to the input voltage. function Dead time Input battery current to DC / DC converter and the NTC temperature inside the switching transistor chip function And the switching frequency of the first segment greater than the switching frequency of the second segment interval ;

[0076] Based on the input battery current of the DC / DC converter and the NTC temperature inside the switching transistor chip Dynamically allocate DC / DC dead time The output voltage is adjusted in conjunction with the switching frequency and output voltage of the DC / DC converter in the energy storage system. .

[0077] Dead Time With battery current The dead time exhibits a negative correlation and must cover the reverse recovery charge and turn-off delay time of the power device, both of which are affected by current. The impact of high current on diode reverse recovery time. Because carrier recombination is accelerated, the dead time is shortened, and the junction capacitance of the device discharges faster at high currents, reducing the turn-off delay by approximately 15-30%. Therefore, the higher the current, the shorter the dead time required by the DC / DC converter. Dead Time With respect to the NTC temperature inside the switching transistor chip There is a positive correlation: as temperature increases, carrier mobility decreases, leading to an increase in turn-on delay time and a prolonged turn-off tail current duration. At high temperatures, minority carrier lifetime increases, diode reverse recovery deteriorates, and reverse recovery time increases. Therefore, increased temperature worsens the switching characteristics of semiconductor devices, requiring increased safety margins and a longer dead time for DC / DC converters.
