The invention discloses a
cascade multi-level
energy storage converter topology and a control method thereof, the DC input side of the topology adopts half-bridge sub-modules powered by independent batteries to be connected in series in groups, and the AC output side adopts multiple groups of H-bridge inversion units to be connected in series to form a secondary
cascade structure. According to the topology, by flexibly configuring the number of battery packs and the number of half-bridge sub-modules in each group, the optimal balance between the number of switching devices and the
voltage stress of the devices is realized, and the topology has the advantages of a cascaded H-bridge topology and a cascaded half-bridge topology. In the control method level, a switching device is controlled based on carrier stacking modulation and
zero crossing point modulation, a double-closed-loop quasi-proportional
resonance controller is adopted to carry out closed-
loop control on an output
voltage waveform, an
equalization algorithm based on battery
state parameter sorting is combined, high-quality multi-level output is achieved, and meanwhile battery online energy
equalization is completed. The problems that a multi-level
energy storage converter is large in traditional topology device number, high in cost, large in high-
voltage device stress, poor in expansibility, difficult in battery management and the like are solved.
