The main energy storage unit and the auxiliary energy storage unit can be composed of super capacitors or lithium batteries. The bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 and the bidirectional DC/DC2 converter 2 are in a non-isolation structure (such as a BUCK/BOOST structure) or an isolation structure (such as a double H bridge DC/DC converter structure).

The filter capacitor C1 is connected in parallel across the D + pole and the D-pole of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 2.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, when the direct current bus energy needs to be absorbed, the direct current bus voltage Ubus, the main energy storage unit voltage U1, the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1A + and the A-terminal voltage U2 need to meet the condition that Ubus is more than or equal to (U1+ U2).
When the voltage Ubus of the direct current bus rises and reaches a set value, the energy absorption starts.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, the control unit acquires the voltage of Ubus, U1, U2 and U3, controls the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1, adjusts the current magnitude of I1 (flows out of the direct current bus), limits the voltage of the direct current bus to a certain maximum value, and realizes that the excess energy on the direct current bus is absorbed and stored in the main energy storage unit and the auxiliary energy storage unit.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, when the stored energy needs to be fed back, the direct current bus voltage Ubus, the main energy storage voltage U1, the voltage U2 of the A + and A-ends of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 need to meet the requirement that (U1+ U2) is more than or equal to Ubus.
When the voltage Ubus of the direct current bus is reduced and falls to a set value, the feedback energy begins.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, the control unit acquires the voltage of Ubus, U1, U2 and U3, controls the DC/DC converter 1, adjusts the current magnitude of I1 (flowing to the direct current bus), limits the voltage of the direct current bus to a certain minimum value, and realizes that the energy in the main energy storage unit and the auxiliary energy storage unit is fed back to the direct current bus.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method thereof, the auxiliary energy storage unit is an energy provider and an energy absorber of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1, and the energy of the auxiliary energy storage unit and the energy of the main energy storage unit should keep a proper proportional relation. Energy exchange between the auxiliary energy storage unit and the direct current bus is formed through the bidirectional DC/DC converter 2. When the energy of the auxiliary energy storage unit is too high, the redundant energy is sent to the direct current bus, and when the energy of the auxiliary energy storage unit is too low, the energy is obtained from the direct current bus. By such control, the energy of the auxiliary energy storage unit is ensured to be at a proper level.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, the flow between the direct current bus energy and the energy storage unit is realized by controlling the output current of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1.
The voltage U2= Ubus-U1 at the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 (neglecting the internal resistance voltage drop of the DC bus and the main energy storage unit), so that the conversion power of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 is only PDC = I1 (Ubus-U1), which is greatly reduced compared with the converter power of the classical scheme (PDC = I1).
In particular, the PDC is small, i.e., a large power output is controlled and regulated by a small power conversion, when U1 is similar to Ubus.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, the control circuit acquires the voltage of Ubus, the voltage of U1 and the voltage of U2, and the energy storage and feedback are realized by the control modes of the voltage outer ring (stable Ubus, Uinmax is more than or equal to Uinmin) and the current inner ring (I1 current is constant and controllable).
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, when energy is absorbed, the input energy of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 converter comes from the direct current bus, and the output energy is stored in the auxiliary energy storage unit. When the energy is absorbed, the main energy storage unit and the auxiliary energy storage unit both perform energy storage work.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, when energy is fed back, the input energy of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 comes from the auxiliary energy storage unit, the output energy (I1) is fed back to the direct current bus through the main energy storage unit, and when the energy is fed back, the main energy storage unit and the auxiliary energy storage unit release energy to work.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, the bidirectional DC/DC converter 2 solves the problem of matching the capacity of the auxiliary energy storage unit with the capacity of the main energy storage unit.
In practical application, the energy of the increased DC bus voltage needs the main energy storage unit and the auxiliary energy storage unit to absorb and store together, and the energy storage unit has the maximum storage capacity, so that the storage capacities of the main energy storage unit and the auxiliary energy storage unit have a proper proportional relationship. To prevent this proper scaling during operation, the bi-directional DC/DC converter 2 is necessary.
Particularly, the capacity of the auxiliary energy storage unit is too low, and the energy of the main energy storage unit cannot be maximally fed back to the direct current bus during energy feedback, so that the absorbed energy is insufficient during reabsorption. At this time, the bidirectional DC/DC converter 2 charges the auxiliary energy storage unit.
Particularly, the capacity of the auxiliary energy storage unit is too high, and the energy absorbed by the auxiliary energy storage unit is limited, which results in insufficient energy absorbed by the main energy storage unit. At this point, the bidirectional DC/DC converter 2 discharges the auxiliary energy storage unit (energy is sent to the DC bus).
In particular, the bidirectional DC/DC converter 2 only undertakes the capacity matching work of the auxiliary energy storage unit and the main energy storage unit, and the conversion power is small. About 20% of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1.
In the direct current bus energy absorption and feedback system structure and the control method, the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 and the bidirectional DC/DC converter 2 can be formed by connecting n groups of DC/DC converters with the same structure in series or in parallel, so that power expansion is realized. After series connection or parallel connection, each group of DC/DC converters can adopt current-sharing and voltage-sharing control modes such as staggered parallel connection, master-slave mode, droop control and the like.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: through the proposal, the problem that the overall efficiency of the system is not high due to high power and low switching frequency of the DC/DC converter is solved, and the system structure chart is proposed:
on one hand, the output of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 is connected with the main energy storage unit in series, and the energy flow between the direct current bus and the energy storage unit is realized by adjusting the output current of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1. The difference between the voltage of the direct current bus and the voltage of the energy storage unit is within a certain reasonable range (20-30%), and the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 only needs to output the difference voltage. Therefore, the conversion power of the bidirectional DC/DC converter is greatly reduced compared with a general full-power structural mode, and the conversion power is 20-30% of that of a classical structure. The manufacturing cost of the product is reduced, and the overall efficiency of the system is improved;
on the other hand, since the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 is powered down and the output voltage is lowered, the power device selection range is widened. The switching frequency of the converter can be greatly increased to reach more than 20 kHz. The volume of the DC/DC converter is reduced.

In the energy absorption and feedback system structure of the DC bus and the control method according to embodiment 1 of the present invention, energy flow between the DC bus and the energy storage unit is realized by controlling the current I1 at the a + end of the DC/DC converter 1.

When VT1 is turned off, the inductive current freewheels through the auxiliary energy storage unit and the diode inside VT 2.
Specifically, when the direct current bus is too low, the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 is controlled to operate in a BOOST mode, the VT2 operates in a PMW control mode, the magnitude of the I1 current (marked as positive according to fig. 3) is adjusted, the energy in the main energy storage unit and the auxiliary energy storage unit is fed back to the direct current bus, and the direct current bus voltage Ubus is limited to a certain minimum value.

After parallel connection, each group of DC/DC converters can adopt current sharing control modes such as staggered parallel connection, master-slave mode, droop control and the like.
In the structure and the control method of the energy absorption and feedback system for the DC bus according to embodiment 1 of the present invention, the voltage between a + and a-of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 is U2= Ubus-U1 (neglecting the internal resistance voltage drop of the DC bus and the main energy storage unit), so that the conversion power of the DC/DC converter 1 is only PDC = I1 (Ubus-U1), which is greatly reduced compared with the converter power (P = I1 Ubus) in the classical scheme. I.e. a large power output is controlled and regulated by a small power conversion.
Specifically, for a 1500V rail transit traction network system, Ubusmax =1800V and Ubusmin =1350V are set. The upper limit of the control voltage is 1700V. Therefore, the voltage of the main energy storage unit is 1300V, and the voltage of the auxiliary energy storage unit is 500V. Bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 power Pdc = (1700) -1300 × I1=400 × I1. Whereas the classical solution Pdc1=1700 × I1. The power of the bidirectional DC/DC converter 1 is only 24% of the power of the converter in the classical technical scheme.
