Description

A grid-connected energy storage converter off-grid switching control method and control system Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power electronic conversion, and in particular to a grid-connected and off-grid switching control method and control system for a grid-connected energy storage converter. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of power electronics conversion technology, three-level energy storage converters are increasingly being used in power grids. As a type of grid-connected energy storage converter, the three-level energy storage converter's off-grid switching operation strategy primarily includes: in the off-grid state, the converter adopts a power unit control strategy; upon detecting that the grid voltage is within the normal range, the converter initiates a pre-synchronization algorithm; the pre-synchronization step ensures voltage amplitude and phase consistency between the converter and the grid; and when the grid-connected relay is engaged, the converter adopts a dual-loop control strategy of cascading power loops, voltage, and current. Currently, when implementing this operation strategy, after the grid-connected relay is engaged, the converter's control strategy immediately switches from a single power loop to a cascaded power loop, voltage, and current loops. This switching method can cause significant current surges, shortening component lifespans and, in severe cases, triggering current transformer protection, leading to shutdown. Therefore, existing off-grid switching operation strategies suffer from significant current surges and unstable switching processes.
