Especially for rural scattered users, due to the long power supply radius and small wire diameter, low voltage and unbalanced three-phase loads often occur, resulting in a decrease in user satisfaction; because this type of user is relatively scattered, according to the low-voltage substation governance plan, adding new distribution transformer points, replacing large wire diameter conductors, and changing two-phase power supply to four-phase power supply increase the investment in the power grid and do not achieve the expected effect.

[0003] For example, the document with the publication number CN113824121B discloses a structure for suppressing common-mode interference applied to a flexible DC integrated voltage regulation device.

The rated output line voltage of the device is 380V, the output voltage frequency is 50HZ, the DC bus is 750V.

Among them, the inductor and the bus capacitor are used for voltage boosting, the diode in the bridge arm is used for voltage clamping, and the body diode is used for freewheeling.

[0029] In a typical embodiment of the present application, taking phase A as an example:

[0030] For positive voltage and negative current (V>0, I<0), after the IGBT tube QA3 is turned on, the current flows from the IGBT tube QA3 and the lower diode of the arm to the neutral point to achieve commutation. At the same time, the body diode of the IGBT tube QA1 recovers reversely; after the IGBT tube QA3 is turned off, the current is continued by the IGBT tube QA1 and the body diode of the IGBT tube QA2.

[0031] For positive voltage and positive current (V>0, I>0), the IGBT tubes QA1 and QA2 are turned on, and the current flows from the IGBT tubes QA1 and QA2 to the AC side. After the IGBT tube QA1 is turned off, the current is continued by the IGBT tube QA2 and the upper diode to the AC terminal.

[0032] For negative voltage and positive current (V<0, I>0), in this case, when flowing out of the topology from the AC terminal, when a negative pulse is output, the current flows out from the negative terminal through the diode; when a zero pulse is output, the current flows to the AC terminal through the IGBT tube QA2 and the diode.

[0033] For negative voltage and negative current (V<0, I<0), after the IGBT tube QA4 is turned off, the current is continued by the IGBT tube QA3 and the lower arm diode to the neutral point; after the IGBT tube QA4 is turned on, the current is commutated by the IGBT tubes QA3 and QA4, and at the same time, the lower arm diode recovers reversely.

[0034] For example, when the upper tube of the phase A arm is turned on and the lower tube is turned off, the voltage VA = E, and the switching mode of this arm is defined as 1; when the upper arm is turned off and the lower arm is turned on, VA = 0, and the switching mode of this arm is defined as 0. According to the complementary mode of the upper and lower arms, 16 switching modes can be arranged, and there is a corresponding voltage at the midpoint A of each arm with respect to the g point; SA, SB, SC, SN. The voltages of the A / B / C arms with respect to N are E(SA - SN), E(SB - SN), E(SC - SN).

[0035] The purpose of three-phase balance is achieved according to the sampling of the voltage of each phase and the duty cycle regulation.

[0036] This device mainly uses a three-phase four-arm as the main topology to convert alternating current into direct current through a rectifier, use direct current for high-voltage transmission, and the line loss is much smaller than that of alternating current transmission. Then, the inverter side converts the direct current back into alternating current and incorporates it into the end-user side of the power grid. If the voltage at the end-user side of the power grid is lower than 220Vac, this device can boost the end voltage to 220Vac to supply the user side, ensuring the stable power consumption of the user side, that is, the low-voltage governance of the end of the power grid.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
