AI Technical Summary
Existing H-bridge parallel solutions rely on transformer leakage inductance to achieve current sharing among multiple bridge arms, which poses a risk of magnetic saturation. Furthermore, uneven current distribution is prone to occur when IGBT modules are connected in parallel, making it difficult to meet the requirements of rapid grid response and high current output.
An H-bridge parallel topology composed of N IGBTs is adopted. Each H-bridge is connected to a current-sharing inductor and a capacitor. Current multiplication is achieved through an independent current-sharing control loop to avoid dependence on transformer leakage inductance. Carrier phase-shift modulation is used to improve the switching frequency and current-sharing effect.
It achieves current multiplication output through H-bridge parallel connection, reduces voltage and current harmonic distortion, improves power supply stability and response speed, and avoids circulating current between bridge arms.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of grid feedback analog power supply, in particular to an H-bridge parallel heavy topology and current sharing control loop. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development of new energy and power electronics industry, more power electronic equipment is introduced in the grid connection, transmission and consumption of new energy. The grid-connected inverter technology fails frequently and cannot meet the safety and stability requirements of the grid. Since 2021, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and other countries have issued corresponding power guidelines, requiring grid-connected inverters to have the ability of rapid fault injection, phase jump support, rapid frequency response, dynamic reactive power compensation, etc., and responding within 5ms after the grid fault or disturbance. Domestic and foreign grid-connected energy storage demonstration projects have been developed, and related research and large-scale applications have been promoted.
[0003] As a test power supply for grid-connected energy storage converters (PCS), the grid feedback analog power supply must meet the standard requirement of 5ms current switching to a maximum of 3 times the reactive current in grid-connected testing, and have the corresponding voltage rapid regulation capability.
[0004] Currently, the grid feedback analog power supply in the industry mainly uses "H-bridge topology + LC filter circuit" output to realize high and low voltage ride-through, zero ride-through, etc. However, in the face of low-voltage and high-current scenarios, it can only use multiple parallel machines and IGBT module parallel methods. Due to the multi-parallel connection of IGBT, uneven current problems are prone to occur, and the response rate and consistency of the driver are required to be high. The commonly used IGBT driver on the market mostly supports 2 IGBT modules in parallel, and the cost is high, which is limited to the improvement of output current.
[0005] The existing H-bridge parallel scheme mostly relies on the output transformer leakage inductance to realize current sharing of multiple bridge arms. The grid feedback analog power supply needs to realize the phase angle ride-through function. Due to the volt-second characteristic of the transformer, magnetic saturation will occur in this function, causing bridge arm short circuit protection. SUMMARY

[0031] Example 2
[0032] This embodiment discloses an H-bridge parallel reconfiguration system, taking phase A as an example, including the H-bridge parallel reconfiguration topology of Embodiment 1 and two current sharing control loops. Please refer to... Figure 2 The two current sharing control loops have the same structure and are used to generate the modulation wave corresponding to the H bridge.
