[0027] Currently, inverter circuits, as an important component of energy storage inverter equipment, face increasingly stringent performance requirements. For different applications, inverter circuits not only need to stably convert DC to AC, but also need to adjust their operating conditions to grid fluctuations and load changes.

[0028] In existing technologies, the inverter circuits of energy storage inverter devices cannot achieve full-range operation in all four quadrants, thus having low adaptability to grid fluctuations and load changes, which in turn affects the stability of the inverter circuits.

[0029] This application provides an inverter circuit and its four-quadrant control method, which enables the inverter circuit to operate in the full range of the four quadrants.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1, which is an equivalent schematic diagram of an inverter circuit provided in an embodiment of this application. The inverter circuit 100 includes a primary circuit 110, a secondary circuit 120, a resonant inductor 130, and a resonant capacitor 140.

[0031] In this embodiment, the primary circuit 110 is connected to the secondary circuit 120 through the resonant inductor 130, and the resonant capacitor 140 is connected in parallel with the secondary circuit 120. The primary circuit 110 is used to connect to the DC side, and the secondary circuit 120 is used to connect to the AC side.

[0032] It can be understood that when the inverter circuit 100 is operating, it receives the DC voltage from the DC side through the primary circuit 110, converts the DC voltage into a primary AC voltage, and then transmits it to the secondary circuit 120 through the resonant inductor 130. The secondary circuit 120 then adjusts the waveform of the primary AC voltage and finally outputs the AC voltage to the AC side. Alternatively, the secondary circuit 120 receives the AC voltage from the AC side, converts the AC voltage into a primary DC voltage, transmits it to the primary circuit 110 through the resonant inductor 130, and then the primary circuit 110 adjusts the waveform of the primary DC voltage and finally outputs the DC voltage to the DC side.

[0033] Next, referring to Figure 1, we will introduce a four-quadrant control method for an inverter circuit provided in an embodiment of this application. Please refer to Figure 2, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0034] Step S21: Obtain the target current on the AC side of the inverter circuit based on the target angle of the inverter circuit operating in four quadrants.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, the inverter circuit can also be connected to a controller, which controls its operation and executes the various steps in this embodiment. For example, in an energy storage inverter device equipped with an inverter circuit, both the primary and secondary circuits of the inverter circuit can be connected to the main controller of the energy storage inverter device. The main controller of the energy storage inverter device controls the switching parameters of the primary and secondary circuits, thereby controlling the inverter circuit to operate.

[0036] It is understood that after controlling the inverter circuit to operate, the controller can also receive external commands to adjust the target angle of the inverter circuit's operation in the four quadrants according to the external commands, to correspond to the required operating conditions. The angle of the inverter circuit's operation in the four quadrants refers to the angle by which the output AC current lags behind the AC voltage. When this angle is in the first quadrant, it indicates that the inverter circuit is operating with both active and reactive power output; when the angle is in the second quadrant, it indicates that the inverter circuit is operating with both active and reactive power input; when the angle is in the third quadrant, it indicates that the inverter circuit is operating with both active and reactive power input; and when the angle is in the fourth quadrant, it indicates that the inverter circuit is operating with both active and reactive power input. Therefore, by controlling the angle of the inverter circuit's operation in the four quadrants, the inverter circuit can be controlled to operate under the corresponding operating conditions. In some embodiments, the controller can also receive externally transmitted operating condition control commands and obtain the corresponding target angle of operation in the four quadrants based on the operating condition control commands.

[0037] After obtaining the target angle, the controller will obtain the target current on the AC side of the inverter circuit based on the target angle, that is, it can calculate a given target current on the AC side based on the target angle.

[0038] Step S22: Obtain the instantaneous voltage value on the AC side.

[0039] In this embodiment, the controller can be connected to the AC side of the inverter circuit to obtain the AC voltage on the AC side, and thus obtain the instantaneous value of the AC voltage. In some embodiments, an AC voltage sampling circuit can be provided on the AC side to collect the AC voltage on the AC side and transmit it to the controller.

[0040] Step S23: Adjust the inverter circuit according to the target current and instantaneous voltage values ​​so that the inverter circuit operates in all four quadrants at the target angle.

[0041] In this embodiment, after obtaining the target current and instantaneous voltage values, the controller adjusts the inverter circuit according to the instantaneous voltage value, ultimately enabling the inverter circuit to operate at the target angle in the four quadrants to correspond to the required operating conditions. For example, the controller can first control the inverter circuit to output the target current, and then adjust the operating parameters of the inverter circuit according to the instantaneous voltage value, ultimately making the angle by which the output current of the inverter circuit lags behind the output voltage the target angle, so that the inverter circuit operates at the target angle in the four quadrants.

[0042] It is understood that this application obtains a given target current on the AC side of the inverter circuit based on the target angle of the inverter's four-quadrant operation, and then adjusts the inverter circuit according to the target current and the instantaneous voltage value of the inverter to make the inverter circuit operate in the four quadrant at the target angle, thereby realizing the full range of four-quadrant operation of the inverter circuit and improving the stability of the inverter circuit.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3, obtaining the target current in step S21 above may specifically include the following steps:

[0044] Step S31: Obtain the AC current and AC voltage on the AC side.

[0045] In this embodiment, the inverter circuit may further include a current sampling circuit and a voltage sampling circuit. The current sampling circuit is used to collect the AC current on the AC side of the inverter circuit and transmit it to the controller. The voltage sampling circuit is used to collect the AC voltage on the AC side of the inverter circuit and transmit it to the controller.

[0046] Step S32: Obtain the peak value of the AC side current based on the AC current.

[0047] In this embodiment of the application, after the controller obtains the AC current through the current sampling circuit, it can obtain the peak current based on the AC current.

[0048] Step S33: Obtain the lag angle between the AC current and the AC voltage.

[0049] In this embodiment of the application, after the controller obtains the AC current through the current acquisition circuit and the AC voltage through the voltage acquisition circuit, it can obtain the lag angle of the current AC current lagging behind the AC voltage based on the current AC current and the AC voltage.

[0050] Step S34: Obtain the target current based on the peak value of the AC side current, the hysteresis angle, and the target angle.

[0051] In this embodiment, the controller can construct an expression for the target current based on the obtained AC side voltage peak value, hysteresis angle, and target angle, thereby obtaining the target current. The expression for the target current can be:

[0052] In the formula, i is the target current, and I m The peak value of the AC side current is given, and θ is the target angle. This is a lagging angle.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the step S23 above, which adjusts the inverter circuit according to the target current and instantaneous voltage value, may specifically include the following steps:

[0054] Step S41: Obtain the target outward phase angle between the primary circuit and the secondary circuit based on the target current and instantaneous voltage values.

[0055] Step S42: Adjust the inverter circuit according to the target outward phase angle so that the inverter circuit operates in all four quadrants at the target angle.

[0056] In this embodiment, the controller can calculate the target instantaneous power of the inverter circuit based on the target current and voltage instantaneous values, and then calculate the target outward phase angle based on the target instantaneous power. Subsequently, the controller adjusts the primary and secondary circuits in the inverter circuit based on the target outward phase angle so that the inverter circuit operates in all four quadrants at the target angle.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5, obtaining the target outward phase angle in step S41 above may specifically include the following steps:

[0058] Step S51: Construct the instantaneous power expression of the inverter circuit based on the phase shift angle parameter.

[0059] Step S52: Obtain the target outward phase angle based on the instantaneous power expression, the target current, and the instantaneous voltage value.

[0060] In this embodiment, the controller may also have a pre-built instantaneous power expression based on phase shift angle parameters, wherein the phase shift angle parameters include the inner phase shift angle of the primary circuit and the outer phase shift angle between the primary and secondary circuits. The controller can first calculate the target instantaneous power based on the instantaneous values ​​of the target current and voltage, and then substitute the target instantaneous power into the instantaneous power expression to calculate the corresponding target outer phase shift angle.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, the construction of the instantaneous power expression in step S51 above may specifically include the following steps:

[0062] Step S61: Obtain the inner phase shift angle of the primary circuit and the outer phase shift angle between the primary circuit and the secondary circuit.

[0063] In this embodiment, the controller can also construct an instantaneous power expression in real time based on the operating parameters of the inverter circuit. Specifically, after controlling the inverter circuit to operate, the controller can obtain the inner phase shift angle of the primary circuit and the outer phase shift angle between the primary and secondary circuits. For example, after controlling the inverter circuit to operate, the controller can obtain the operating parameters such as the frequency and duty cycle of each switching device in the primary and secondary circuits, and calculate the current inner and outer phase shift angles of the inverter circuit based on the operating parameters of each switching device.

[0064] Step S62: Obtain the DC voltage on the DC side and the AC voltage on the AC side.

[0065] In this application, the controller can also be connected to the DC side and AC side of the resonant circuit to obtain the DC voltage on the DC side and the AC voltage on the AC side. In some embodiments, a DC voltage sampling circuit can be provided on the DC side and an AC voltage sampling circuit can be provided on the AC side. The DC voltage sampling circuit is used to collect the DC voltage on the DC side and transmit it to the controller, and the AC voltage sampling circuit is used to collect the AC voltage on the AC side and transmit it to the controller.

[0066] Step S63: Construct the primary voltage expression based on the inner phase shift angle and DC voltage, and construct the secondary voltage expression based on the outer phase shift angle and AC voltage.

[0067] In some embodiments, the primary-side voltage expression based on the fundamental wave analysis method can be obtained using the internal phase shift angle and the DC voltage. The primary-side voltage expression constructed based on the fundamental wave analysis method can be:

[0068] In the formula, v p V is the primary voltage. dcdenoted as DC voltage on the DC side, n is the turns ratio of the transformer between the primary voltage and the variable voltage, D1∈[0,0.5], 0.5*2πD1 is the internal phase shift angle, ω is the frequency, and t is the time.

[0069] Furthermore, the expression for the secondary voltage based on the fundamental wave analysis method is obtained using the external phase shift angle and AC voltage. Specifically, the expression for the secondary voltage constructed based on the fundamental wave analysis method can be:

[0070] In the formula, v s U is the secondary voltage. g Let D2 be the AC voltage on the AC side, D2∈[-0.5,0.5], and 2πD2 be the outward phase shift angle.

[0071] Step S64: Obtain the instantaneous power expression based on the primary side voltage expression and the secondary side voltage expression.

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, the instantaneous power expression can be further obtained based on the above-mentioned primary-side voltage expression and secondary-side voltage expression as follows:

[0073] In the formula, X eq This is the resonant impedance.

[0074] To achieve instantaneous power flow switching, the sign of D2 can be changed. Even if D2′=-D2, sin(2πD2')=-sin(2πD2), which means that the magnitude of the instantaneous power P remains unchanged, but the direction is reversed.
