[0038] Appendix Figure 1 This is a block diagram of the main unit of the power generation system of this utility model.
[0039] This utility model provides a power generation system for personal portable devices.

[0040] The energy storage battery module supplies power to the first bidirectional DC / DC converter module, the second bidirectional DC / DC converter module, and the fourth DC / DC converter module to provide DC outputs of different voltages and currents.
[0041] The metal-air battery module and the external AC power supply are used to charge the energy storage battery module.
[0042] The power control and management module has multiple input ports, which are respectively connected to the power ports of the DC / AC converter module, the DC / DC converter module, the metal-air battery module, and the energy storage battery module.
[0043] When the power generation system is connected to an external power input, the power control and management module can control the charging of the energy storage battery; when the power generation system outputs multiple different voltages to the outside, the power control and management module controls the discharging of the energy storage battery.
[0044] The power control and management module is responsible for determining whether the AC 230V interface is an input or output, whether the first DC 24V interface is an input or output, and whether the metal-air battery is charging the energy storage battery. If any of the three input voltages has a voltage input, the power control and management module manages the charging mode of the energy storage battery, including trickle charging, constant current charging, and constant voltage charging. When the output voltage of any of the three output voltages is used, the power control and management module manages the discharge of the energy storage battery to prevent over-discharge.
[0045] As described in this utility model, the first bidirectional DC / DC converter module, the second bidirectional DC / DC converter module, the third DC / DC converter module, and the fourth DC / DC converter module all include a first DC power port and a second DC power port. The bidirectional DC / AC converter module includes both a DC power port and an AC power port. Each power port of the first bidirectional DC / DC converter module, the second bidirectional DC / DC converter module, and the bidirectional DC / AC converter is controlled by a power control and management module and serves as a power input interface or a power output port at different times.
[0046] When the first DC power port of the first bidirectional DC / DC converter module is connected to the first external DC power supply, the second DC power port of the first bidirectional DC / DC converter module outputs a second DC voltage; preferably, the range of the second DC voltage is 36.8 to 58.4V.
[0047] The DC power port of the bidirectional DC / AC converter module is connected to the first DC power port of the second bidirectional DC / AC converter module. When the AC power port of the bidirectional DC / AC converter module is connected to an external AC power source, the DC power port of the bidirectional DC / AC converter module provides a first DC voltage; the first DC voltage is preferably 400V.
[0048] When the first DC power port of the second bidirectional DC / DC converter module receives the first DC voltage, the second DC power port of the second bidirectional DC / DC converter module outputs the second DC voltage.
[0049] The first DC power port of the third DC / DC converter module is connected to the power port of the metal-air battery module. When the metal-air battery module is started, the second DC power port of the third DC / DC converter module outputs a second DC voltage.
[0050] The second DC voltage provides the charging voltage to the energy storage battery module.
[0051] The first bidirectional DC / DC converter module includes a multi-phase interleaved half-bridge buck-boost circuit. This circuit is a single-stage non-isolated DC / DC converter, simple and efficient. The multi-phase interleaving significantly reduces ripple current. While the number of components increases significantly, the current stress and size of individual components are reduced significantly, making it suitable for flat design. This circuit is widely used in bidirectional energy storage systems. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a multiphase interleaved half-bridge buck-boost circuit is provided. Among them, Q1-Q4 use 100V, 30A silicon carbide MOSFETs with on-resistance in the tens of mΩ range, which can significantly increase the switching frequency, greatly reduce the size and weight of the power supply system, and increase the energy density.
[0052] Appendix Figure 3 This is the circuit diagram of the CLLLC full-bridge resonant circuit used in the converter inside the second bidirectional DC / DC converter module. The CLLLC full-bridge resonant circuit can achieve input / output isolation, adopts high-power, high-frequency soft-switching DC / DC bidirectional energy conversion, has high transformer utilization, and can achieve the highest efficiency conversion by supplementing the secondary side synchronous rectification, while reducing electromagnetic compatibility pressure.
[0053] The CLLLC full-bridge resonant circuit uses 100V, 30A silicon carbide MOSFETs with on-resistance in the tens of mΩ range for Q1-Q4, and 650V, 10A silicon carbide MOSFETs with on-resistance in the tens of mΩ range for Q5-Q8. This reduces the size and weight of the power supply system and increases energy density. Due to the increased switching frequency, L1, L2, and T1 are wound with ferrite cores, significantly reducing size and weight while increasing energy density.
[0054] Example 2
[0055] Appendix Figure 4 This is the circuit diagram of a totem-pole bridgeless PFC circuit used in the internal converter of a bidirectional DC / AC converter module. Q1 and Q2 in the totem-pole bridgeless PFC circuit are power frequency switching devices, employing silicon-based fast recovery diodes or silicon-based MOSFETs for synchronous rectification. Q3 and Q4 are high-frequency switching devices, using silicon carbide MOSFETs to improve switching speed and reduce switching losses. This circuit features short switching periods, low losses, high efficiency, and low current harmonic content. All switching devices are controllable, enabling bidirectional energy flow. The silicon carbide MOSFETs have very low on-resistance, reducing conduction losses. L1 uses an iron-silicon-aluminum magnetic core wound filter inductor with a narrow hysteresis loop, which can increase the magnetization frequency, thereby reducing size and weight and increasing power density.
