Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hybrid grid-connected and off-grid inverter technology, and in particular to an auxiliary power supply circuit and a hybrid grid-connected and off-grid inverter. Background Technology

[0002] Hybrid grid-connected inverters can connect to various types of high-voltage power sources, including the grid, diesel generators, PV photovoltaics, and batteries. To ensure that the inverter can start and operate normally when each type of high-voltage power source is connected individually, the inverter needs to be connected to an auxiliary power supply. Specifically, in the conventional auxiliary power supply design of the inverter, the grid interface, diesel generator interface, and battery input interface all need to be connected to the subsequent DC auxiliary power supply through the corresponding auxiliary power supply to supply power to the low-voltage system. Among them, the design parameters of the AC auxiliary power supply corresponding to the diesel generator and the grid are completely identical. The cost of the AC auxiliary power supply is relatively high. Equipping the diesel generator and the grid with corresponding AC auxiliary power supplies increases the design cost and component cost.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a traditional auxiliary power supply architecture corresponding to a hybrid on-grid and off-grid inverter is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the high-voltage input of the hybrid grid-connected inverter includes photovoltaic power, batteries, the power grid, and a diesel generator. The traditional auxiliary power architecture corresponding to the hybrid grid-connected inverter includes a battery auxiliary power supply corresponding to the batteries, a first AC auxiliary power supply corresponding to the power grid, a second AC auxiliary power supply corresponding to the diesel generator, a DC auxiliary power supply, and a low-voltage power supply system. The photovoltaic power supply is connected to the input terminal of the DC auxiliary power supply through a corresponding unidirectional diode. The batteries are connected to the input terminal of the DC auxiliary power supply through the battery auxiliary power supply and a corresponding unidirectional diode. The power grid is connected to the input terminal of the DC auxiliary power supply through the first AC auxiliary power supply and its corresponding unidirectional diode. The diesel generator is connected to the input terminal of the DC auxiliary power supply through the second AC auxiliary power supply and its corresponding unidirectional diode. The output terminal of the DC auxiliary power supply is connected to the low-voltage power supply system. The design parameters of the first AC auxiliary power supply and the second AC auxiliary power supply are completely identical.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in the existing design, two identical AC auxiliary power supplies are required to connect the power grid and the diesel generator to the subsequent circuit. Given the high cost of AC auxiliary power supplies, the existing design method increases the design cost.

[0026] Based on this, the embodiments of this application provide an auxiliary power supply sharing circuit and a hybrid on-grid and off-grid inverter. By introducing a power input switching structure that enables switching between different input power sources, two different power inputs can be connected using a single AC auxiliary power supply, simplifying the design and reducing design costs, as detailed below:

[0027] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a hybrid on-grid and off-grid inverter provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the hybrid grid-connected inverter provided in this application embodiment includes a battery auxiliary power supply 1, a DC auxiliary power supply 2, an auxiliary power supply common circuit 3, a low-voltage power supply system 4, and a first anti-reverse diode D. S1Second anti-reverse diode D S2 and the third anti-reverse diode D S3 .

[0028] Preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic power source passes through the first anti-reverse diode D. S1 Connected to the input terminal of DC auxiliary power supply 2, the battery passes sequentially through battery auxiliary power supply 1 and the second anti-reverse diode D. S2 Connected to the input terminal of DC auxiliary power supply 2, the output terminal of auxiliary power supply common circuit 3 is connected through the third anti-reverse diode D. S3 The DC auxiliary power supply 2 is connected to its input terminal, the DC auxiliary power supply 2 is connected to its output terminal, the low-voltage power supply system 4 is connected to its output terminal, and the low-voltage power supply system 4 is connected to its power supply load.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first input terminal of the auxiliary power supply common circuit 3 is connected to the first AC input power supply, and the second input terminal of the auxiliary power supply common circuit 3 is connected to the second AC input power supply. In one specific embodiment, the first AC input power supply is the power grid, and the second AC input power supply is a diesel generator.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This illustration shows one of the structural schematic diagrams of an auxiliary power supply common circuit provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary power supply common circuit includes an AC auxiliary power supply 31 and a power input switching structure 32. Taking the first AC input power supply as the power grid and the second AC input power supply as a diesel generator as an example, the two ends of the power grid are connected to the first switching contacts (pins ③ and ⑤) of the power input switching structure 32, the two ends of the diesel generator are respectively connected to the second switching contacts (pins ④ and ⑥) of the power input switching structure 32, and the two ends of the diesel generator are also connected to the switching sensing contacts (pins) of the power input switching structure 32. The power output terminals (pins ⑦ and ⑧) of the power input switching structure are connected to the input terminals of the AC auxiliary power supply 31.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the power input switching structure 32 is a double-pole double-throw relay, wherein the first normally closed contact (pin ③) of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to one end of the power grid, and the second normally closed contact (pin ⑤) of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to the other end of the power grid.

[0032] The first normally open contact (pin ④) of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to one end of the diesel generator, and the second normally open contact (pin ⑥) of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to the other end of the diesel generator.

[0033] In another preferred embodiment, the first switching contact (pin ⑦) of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to the first input terminal of the AC auxiliary power supply 31, and the second switching contact (pin ⑧) of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to the second input terminal of the AC auxiliary power supply 31.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay supports AC, so the induction coil 321 of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to both ends of the diesel generator. In this application, Figure 2 In the connection method shown for the induction coil, the first induction contact (pin ①) of the induction coil is connected to the other end of the diesel generator, and the second induction contact of the induction coil is connected to one end of the diesel generator.

[0035] Alternatively, in another connection method corresponding to induction coil 321 (this connection method) Figure 3 (Not shown in the image), the first sensing contact (pin ①) is connected to one end of the diesel generator, and the second sensing contact corresponding to the induction coil is connected to the other end of the diesel generator.

[0036] In another preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a second schematic diagram of an auxiliary power supply common circuit provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4 As shown, if the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay supports DC, the auxiliary power supply common circuit provided in this application also needs to be connected to the rectifier bridge structure 33 and the voltage regulator capacitor C1.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, if the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay supports DC, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first AC input terminal of the rectifier bridge structure 33 is connected to one end of the diesel generator, and the second AC input terminal of the rectifier bridge structure 33 is connected to the other end of the diesel generator.

[0038] The first DC output terminal of the rectifier bridge structure 33 is connected to the first sensing contact (pin ①) of the double-pole double-throw relay, and the second DC output terminal of the rectifier bridge structure is connected to the second sensing contact (pin ②) of the double-pole double-throw relay.

[0039] In another preferred embodiment, the voltage regulator capacitor C1 is connected in parallel across the first sensing contact (pin ①) and the second sensing contact (pin ②).

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the rectifier bridge structure 33 includes a first diode DM1, a second diode DM2, a third diode DM3, and a fourth diode DM4, wherein the first diode DM1, the second diode DM2, the third diode DM3, and the fourth diode DM4 are rectifier diodes.

[0041] Preferably, the anode of the first diode DM1 is connected to the anode of the second diode DM2 and the first sensing contact (pin ①), the cathode of the first diode DM1 is connected to the anode of the third diode DM3 and the other end of the diesel generator, the cathode of the third diode DM3 is connected to the cathode of the fourth diode DM4 and the second sensing contact (pin ②), and the anode of the fourth diode DM4 is connected to the cathode of the second diode DM2 and one end of the diesel generator.

[0042] This application provides, as follows: Figure 3 or Figure 4 The auxiliary power shared circuit shown allows the same AC auxiliary power supply 31 to be reused when the power grid and diesel generator are connected to complete the machine startup.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, if the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay supports DC but not AC, the AC power output by the diesel generator is converted into DC power after passing through the rectifier bridge structure 33 and the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1, which powers the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay.

[0044] If the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay supports AC, then as follows Figure 3 As shown, the rectifier bridge structure 33 and voltage regulator C1 are omitted, and the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay is directly connected to both ends of the diesel generator. That is, the AC power output by the diesel generator directly powers the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay.

[0045] like Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, the power grid is connected to the first normally closed contact (pin ③) and the second normally closed contact (pin ⑤). When only the power grid is powered on, the induction coil of the double-pole double-throw relay is not powered. The first switching contact (pin ⑦) of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to the first normally closed contact (pin ③), and the second switching contact (pin ⑧) of the double-pole double-throw relay is connected to the second normally closed contact (pin ⑤). That is, the power grid is input to the AC auxiliary power supply 31 through the first switching contact (pin ⑦) and the second switching contact (pin ⑧), and the AC auxiliary power supply 31 can work normally.

[0046] When only the diesel generator is powered on, the AC power output by the diesel generator is output to the induction coil through the rectifier bridge (if the relay supports DC) or directly to the induction coil (if the relay supports AC). After the induction coil is energized, the first switching contact (pin ⑦) switches to the first normally open contact (pin ④), and the second switching contact (pin ⑧) switches to the second normally open contact (pin ⑥). The diesel generator output is connected to the AC auxiliary power supply 31, and the AC auxiliary power supply 31 can also work normally.

[0047] As can be seen from the above, the auxiliary power supply circuit provided in this application can enable the hybrid on-grid inverter to start normally when a single grid or a single diesel generator is powered on.

[0048] The advantages of this application are:

[0049] This application enables the system to start normally when a single power grid or a single diesel generator is powered on using a double-pole double-throw relay. This saves the need for a complete AC auxiliary power supply while ensuring the complete start-up function of the hybrid on-grid inverter when a single high-voltage power supply is connected, thus reducing design and component costs.

[0050] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
