DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0029] The embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of bus capacitor pre-charging circuit of energy storage inverter, for pre-charging bus capacitor C5.The bus capacitor C5 in energy storage inverter can smooth DC side voltage fluctuation, store energy, and the two ends of bus capacitor C5 are also respectively connected the two ends of battery.When battery hibernates and there is no photovoltaic, energy storage inverter enters commercial power activation working condition, and bus capacitor C5 can be pre-charged by the bus capacitor pre-charging circuit provided in the present application embodiment.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the bus capacitor pre-charging circuit of the energy storage inverter includes a transformer 110 (T1), a first pre-charging module 120, a second pre-charging module 130, a first relay module 140, and a second relay module 150. The transformer 110 (T1) includes a primary side and a first secondary side.

[0031] The primary side of the transformer 110 (T1) is connected to an external power supply, and the first secondary side is connected to the first pre-charging module 120. The primary side of the transformer 110 (T1) obtains electrical energy from the external power supply, converts the voltage, and outputs the converted voltage through the first secondary side.

[0032] The first pre-charging module 120 is connected to the bus capacitor C5 and is used to perform first-stage pre-charging on the bus capacitor C5.

[0033] The second pre-charging module 130 is connected to the bus capacitor C5 and is used to perform second-stage pre-charging on the bus capacitor C5 after rectifying the external power supply.

[0034] The first relay module 140 is arranged between the second pre-charging module 130 and an external load, and the second relay module 150 is connected in series with the first relay module 140 and is then connected in series between the second pre-charging module 130 and the external power supply. The first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 can achieve electrical isolation between the external power supply and the second pre-charging circuit and between the external power supply and the load.

[0035] The application sets the transformer 110 (T1), the first pre-charging module 120, the second pre-charging module 130, the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150, the primary side of the transformer 110 (T1) is connected with the external power supply, the first pre-charging module 120 and the second pre-charging module 130 are connected with the bus capacitor C5, the first relay module 140 is arranged between the second pre-charging module 130 and the external load, the second relay module 150 is connected in series with the first relay module 140 and then connected in series between the second pre-charging module 130 and the external power supply, before the cold start of the energy storage inverter, the power supply can pass through the first pre-charging module 120 to perform the first pre-charging on the bus capacitor C5 through the transformer 110 (T1), after the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 are closed, the power supply can pass through the second pre-charging module 130 to perform the second pre-charging on the bus capacitor C5, after the cold start, the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 remain closed, the power supply can also pass through the second pre-charging module 130 to perform rectification and then supply power to other circuits of the energy storage inverter, therefore, the application performs two-stage pre-charging on the bus capacitor C5, so that there is no large voltage difference before and after the cold start of the bus capacitor C5, after the cold start, the second pre-charging module 130 for rectifying the power supply does not generate a large impact current, and the second pre-charging module 130 for rectifying the power supply is shared as the second pre-charging of the bus capacitor C5 after the normal working of the energy storage inverter, so that the pre-charging of the bus capacitor C5 is realized by a relatively simple circuit, and the reliability and stability of the energy storage inverter are improved.

[0036] The transformer 110 (T1) realizes the voltage conversion and also realizes the electrical isolation between the power supply and the energy storage inverter, so that the overall energy storage inverter meets the safety requirements. After the pre-charging of the bus capacitor C5 is completed, the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 remain closed, the external power supply can pass through the second pre-charging module 130 to perform rectification and then supply power to the subsequent load, or the external power supply passes through the second pre-charging module 130 to perform rectification and then charges the battery connected with the bus capacitor C5, that is, the second pre-charging module 130 can perform the second pre-charging on the bus capacitor C5 and also serves as part of the main power loop of the energy storage inverter, without the need to additionally increase the second pre-charging circuit on the basis of the main power loop of the energy storage inverter, the circuit structure is relatively simple, the pre-charging of the bus capacitor C5 also does not need a relatively complex control, the cost is low, and the overall circuit is stable and reliable.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 3In the embodiment, the first pre-charging module 120 includes a first rectifier diode D1 and a first filter capacitor C1. The positive electrode of the first rectifier diode D1 is connected to the first terminal of the first secondary side, the negative electrode of the first rectifier diode D1 is connected to the positive electrode of the bus capacitor C5 and the positive electrode of the first filter capacitor C1, and the negative electrode of the first filter capacitor C1 is connected to the second terminal of the first secondary side and the negative electrode of the bus capacitor C5.

[0038] The first rectifier diode D1 is used to convert the alternating current signal output by the first secondary side of the transformer 110 (T1) into a direct current signal. The first filter capacitor C1 is used to filter out stray signals and noise in the circuit, so that the voltage signal in the circuit is more stable.

[0039] The first secondary side of the transformer 110 (T1) can output a suitable alternating current signal. After rectification by the first rectifier diode D1 and filtering by the third filter capacitor C3, a relatively stable suitable voltage is output, which pre-charges the bus capacitor C5 at the first level.

[0040] Further, the first pre-charging module 120 further includes an anti-backflow diode D2, the positive electrode of the anti-backflow diode D2 is connected to the negative electrode of the first rectifier diode D1, and the negative electrode of the anti-backflow diode D2 is connected to the positive electrode of the bus capacitor C5.

[0041] By setting the anti-backflow diode D2, the reverse voltage impact of the bus capacitor C5 can be prevented, avoiding damage to the first rectifier diode D1 and other elements caused by the reverse voltage impact, prolonging the service life of the circuit elements, and improving the stability of the overall circuit operation.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the embodiment, the second pre-charging module 130 includes a first IGBT tube Q1, a second IGBT tube Q2, a third IGBT tube Q3, and a fourth IGBT tube Q4. The gate of the first IGBT tube Q1, the gate of the second IGBT tube Q2, the gate of the third IGBT tube Q3, and the gate of the fourth IGBT tube Q4 are all used to receive an external control signal. The emitter of the first IGBT tube Q1 is connected to the collector of the second IGBT tube Q2, and the connection node thereof is connected to an external load. The collector of the first IGBT tube Q1 is connected to the collector of the third IGBT tube Q3 and the positive electrode of the bus capacitor C5. The emitter of the second IGBT tube Q2 is connected to the emitter of the fourth IGBT tube Q4 and the negative electrode of the bus capacitor C5. The emitter of the third IGBT tube Q3 is connected to the collector of the fourth IGBT tube Q4, and the connection node thereof is connected to an external power supply and an external load.

[0043] An IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is a semiconductor device that combines the advantages of bipolar transistors (BJT) and field-effect transistors (FET). An IGBT tube is composed of a PNPN structure, combining the high input impedance of MOSFET and the low on-state voltage drop of BJT. This structure makes the IGBT tube have both the high input impedance and high-speed switching characteristics of MOSFET, and the low on-state voltage drop and large current bearing capacity of BJT, with high efficiency and high-speed switching characteristics. The operation of the IGBT tube is controlled by controlling the gate voltage to control the current flow, and when the voltage applied to the gate exceeds a certain threshold, a conduction channel is formed and the current can flow from the collector to the emitter.

[0044] The first IGBT tube Q1, the second IGBT tube Q2, the third IGBT tube Q3 and the fourth IGBT tube Q4 are connected to form a full-wave uncontrolled rectifier circuit. Before cold start, after the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 are closed, the external power supply charges the bus capacitor C5 through the full-wave uncontrolled rectifier circuit, and the voltage of the bus capacitor C5 is the times of the voltage of the power supply. The voltage of the bus capacitor C5 charged by the second-stage pre-charging is not much different from the voltage of the bus capacitor C5 charged by the first-stage pre-charging through the rectification of the first secondary side of the transformer 110 (T1), so the voltage difference between the first-stage pre-charging and the second-stage pre-charging of the bus capacitor C5 is not large, and the full-wave uncontrolled rectifier circuit will not be subjected to a large current impact, and the circuit reliability and stability are high.

[0045] In the full-wave uncontrolled rectifier circuit, by properly controlling the conduction and cutoff of the IGBT tube, the rectification of the input alternating current signal can be realized, and the alternating current signal can be converted into a direct current signal. This rectifier circuit can provide a stable direct current power supply.

[0046] Further, the second-stage pre-charging module 130 further includes an inductor L1 and a second filter capacitor C2. The inductor L1 is connected in series with the first relay module 140, and the other end of the inductor L1 is connected to the connection node of the emitter of the first IGBT tube Q1 and the collector of the second IGBT tube Q2. One end of the second filter capacitor C2 is connected to the series connection node of the inductor L1 and the first relay module 140, and the other end of the second filter capacitor C2 is connected to the connection node of the emitter of the third IGBT tube Q3 and the collector of the fourth IGBT tube Q4.

[0047] The inductor L1 is an electronic component that stores and releases energy in a circuit. The inductor L1 is usually composed of a solenoid or a coil. When current passes through the inductor L1, a magnetic field is generated inside the inductor L1, and energy is stored in the inductor L1 in the form of a magnetic field. Once the current changes, the inductor L1 releases the stored energy. The second filter capacitor C2 can filter out stray signals and noise in the circuit, making the output voltage signal more stable and providing a more stable power supply voltage for the external load.

[0048] In specific operation, by controlling the conduction and cutoff of the first IGBT tube Q1, the second IGBT tube Q2, the third IGBT tube Q3 and the fourth IGBT tube Q4, cooperating with the energy storage and release of the inductor L1 and the filtering effect of the second filter capacitor C2, the mains can supply power to the load through the circuit, the battery can supply power to the load through the circuit, and the mains can also charge the battery through the circuit.

[0049] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first relay module 140 includes a first relay K1, and the second relay module 150 includes a second relay K2. The first relay K1 is connected in series with the second relay K2. The first relay K1 is arranged between one end of the inductor L1 and the external load. The second relay K2 is connected in series with the first relay K1 and then connected in series between one end of the inductor L1 and the external mains.

[0050] The first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 in this embodiment each include only one relay, which realizes electrical isolation between the external mains and the circuit components of the energy storage inverter, prevents the external mains from interfering with the internal circuit of the energy storage inverter, and meets relevant safety requirements. In other embodiments, the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 can each include two or more series-connected relays, which realize electrical isolation between the mains and the circuit components. The circuit structure of the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 in this embodiment is simple.

[0051] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the transformer 110 (T1) further includes a second secondary side, and the bus capacitor pre-charging circuit further includes a power supply module 160. The power supply module 160 includes a second rectifier diode D3 and a third filter capacitor C3. The positive electrode of the second rectifier diode D3 is connected to a first connection terminal of the second secondary side. The negative electrode of the second rectifier diode D3 is connected to the positive electrode of the third filter capacitor C3 and an external main auxiliary power supply. The negative electrode of the third filter capacitor C3 is connected to a second connection terminal of the second secondary side and a ground terminal.

[0052] The second rectifier diode D3 is used to convert the AC signal output from the secondary side of the transformer 110 (T1) into a DC signal. The second filter capacitor C2 is used to filter out stray signals and noise in the circuit, making the voltage signal in the circuit more stable.

[0053] The secondary side of the transformer 110 (T1) can output a suitable AC signal, which is rectified by the second rectifier diode D3 and filtered by the third filter capacitor C3 to output a more stable voltage suitable for powering the external main and auxiliary power supply.

[0054] Further, the power supply module 160 also includes a resistor R1, which is connected in parallel with the third filter capacitor C3 and is used to be connected in parallel with the external load. The resistor R1 acts as a load resistor R1 in the circuit, which is used to eliminate the ripple and noise of the DC voltage and stabilize the output current, providing a smooth power supply voltage for the load.

[0055] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the bus capacitor pre-charging circuit further includes a fourth filter capacitor C4 and a switch tube Q5. The positive terminal of the fourth filter capacitor C4 is connected to the external power supply and the first terminal of the primary side of the transformer 110 (T1), the negative terminal of the fourth filter capacitor C4 is connected to the source of the switch tube Q5 and the ground terminal, the gate of the switch tube Q5 is used to receive an external control signal, and the drain is connected to the second terminal of the primary side of the transformer 110 (T1).

[0056] The switch tube Q5 is an electronic device used to control the flow of current. The switch tube Q5 can be in one of two states: an on state and an off state. In the on state, the switch tube Q5 allows current to flow, while in the off state, the switch tube Q5 blocks the flow of current. The working principle of the switch tube Q5 is based on the voltage signal of the gate. When the gate applies an appropriate voltage, the switch tube Q5 can be switched to the on state, allowing current to pass through; when the voltage of the gate is insufficient or inappropriate, the switch tube Q5 is in the off state, and the current cannot pass through.

[0057] By controlling the on and off of the switch tube Q5, the size of the output voltage can be adjusted. The switching action of the switch tube Q5 periodically transfers energy to the output end, achieving the adjustment of the output voltage. Specifically, when the switch tube Q5 is on, the external power supply enters the transformer 110 (T1) through the switch tube Q5, and the energy is stored in the transformer 110 (T1); when the switch tube Q5 is off, the energy in the transformer 110 (T1) is transferred to the output end, i.e. the secondary side of the transformer 110 (T1) through the flyback action.

[0058] In the embodiment of the application, the switch tube Q5 specifically adopts an NMOS tube, the gate of the NMOS tube receives an external control signal, the source is connected to the negative pole of the fourth filter capacitor C4 and the ground terminal, and the drain is connected to the second connection terminal of the primary side of the transformer 110 (T1).

[0059] The fourth filter capacitor C4 is used for smoothing the output voltage. Since the switching action of the switch tube Q5 will introduce pulsation, the fourth filter capacitor C4 can smooth the pulsation and reduce the ripple of the output voltage, so that the output voltage is more stable.

[0060] The application also provides a storage energy inverter, which comprises a bus capacitor C5 and the bus capacitor pre-charging circuit of the storage energy inverter as described above, the first pre-charging module 120 and the second pre-charging module 130 are connected to the bus capacitor C5, and the bus capacitor C5 is used for being connected in parallel with an external battery.

[0061] In the embodiment of the application, the bus capacitor pre-charging circuit of the storage energy inverter is provided with the transformer 110 (T1), the first pre-charging module 120, the second pre-charging module 130, the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150, the primary side of the transformer 110 (T1) is connected to external power, the first pre-charging module 120 and the second pre-charging module 130 are connected to the bus capacitor C5, the first relay module 140 is arranged between the second pre-charging module 130 and an external load, and the second relay module 150 is connected in series with the first relay module 140 and then connected in series between the second pre-charging module 130 and the external power. Before cold start of the storage energy inverter, the power can pass through the first pre-charging module 120 to perform first-stage pre-charging on the bus capacitor C5 through the transformer 110 (T1). After the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 are closed, the power can pass through the second pre-charging module 130 to perform second-stage pre-charging on the bus capacitor C5. After cold start, the first relay module 140 and the second relay module 150 remain closed, and the power can also pass through the second pre-charging module 130 to rectify and supply power to other circuits of the storage energy inverter. Therefore, the application pre-charges the bus capacitor C5 in two stages, so that there is no large voltage difference before and after cold start of the bus capacitor C5, and no large impact current is generated on the second pre-charging module 130 for rectifying the power after cold start of the storage energy inverter, and the second pre-charging module 130 for normal work after cold start of the storage energy inverter is shared as the second-stage pre-charging of the bus capacitor C5. The pre-charging of the bus capacitor C5 is realized by a relatively simple circuit, and the reliability and stability of the storage energy inverter are improved.
