Description

Novel modular photovoltaic grid-connected system based on three-port power channel, namely control method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a novel Modular topological structure based on a three-port power channel, in particular to a photovoltaic power generation system for restraining direct-current side voltage fluctuation of a cascaded Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) and balancing photovoltaic power among bridge arms of a three-phase photovoltaic grid-connected power generation system, and belongs to the technical field of power electronic power conversion.
Background
Solar energy is increasingly paid attention to people as a renewable clean energy source, and photovoltaic power stations are developing towards large-scale and grid-connected. The traditional centralized photovoltaic array is easy to cause Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to fall into a local Maximum Power Point, which results in low photovoltaic utilization rate. With the improvement of voltage and power levels, the traditional two-level and three-level voltage source type inverters can not meet the requirements. The MMC has the advantages of modularization, easiness in expansion, small output current harmonic wave and the like, can realize photovoltaic local alternating current grid connection and long-distance direct current transmission, and has a great development prospect in a large photovoltaic grid connection system. Through splitting the photovoltaic array into a plurality of small modules and connecting the small modules to each submodule of the MMC through the DC/DC converter, MPPT is realized in each module respectively, and the photovoltaic utilization rate can be effectively improved.
For a three-phase modular photovoltaic grid-connected system based on MMC, several key problems generally need to be solved.
Parasitic electricity to ground of the photovoltaic panel easily causes leakage current to the system, so an isolated photovoltaic DC/DC converter is generally required, which requires adding a high-frequency transformer to each sub-module port of the MMC, thereby suppressing the leakage current.
The output power of each submodule of the MMC has large first-frequency multiplication, second-frequency multiplication and high-frequency component fluctuation, the direct current side of each submodule is generally required to be subjected to power decoupling by using a large-capacity electrolytic capacitor, and the large-capacity electrolytic capacitor is large in size and limited in service life, so that the occupied area of the whole system is large, and the service life is short. Therefore, the power decoupling technology is needed to reduce the capacity of the power decoupling capacitor as much as possible, so that the electrolytic capacitor is replaced by a thin film capacitor with small capacity and long service life, which is mainly divided into: firstly, a power decoupling circuit is added, but the power decoupling circuit needs to be added to each port, so that the hardware implementation is more complex; secondly, power fluctuation is reduced by adopting control methods such as circulation control and the like, but for the upper and lower bridge arms of the same phase unit of the MMC, the power compensated by circulation is equal, so that the double-frequency common-mode component of the capacitance ripple of the upper and lower arms can be compensated, and the first-frequency-multiplication and third-frequency-multiplication differential-mode component ripples with larger amplitude cannot be counteracted.
Because each module of the system respectively carries out MPPT control, when the illumination intensity is uneven or the equipment parameters are different, power mismatch easily occurs between bridge arms, the current flowing into a power grid is asymmetric, and the application of the modular photovoltaic grid-connected system is greatly limited. At present, existing research is mainly solved by adopting power mismatch elimination strategies such as a fundamental frequency circulation injection method, but the control method needs to collect photovoltaic power of each module, and complexity of the system is increased. The control is complex and is open loop control, and the balance effect has errors.
In summary, the main problems of the prior art are: an MMC system usually needs to adopt an electrolytic capacitor with larger capacity and volume to perform power decoupling, so that the service life and the reliability of a photovoltaic power generation system are influenced; the modularized photovoltaic inverter is difficult to avoid the problem of power mismatch, the existing topological power mismatch elimination strategy is small in balancing capability and poor in balancing effect, and practical application of the structure is greatly limited.
In order to improve the reliability of the engineering application of the modular photovoltaic grid-connected system, the problem of photovoltaic power mismatch needs to be well solved. By adopting the novel modular topology, the photovoltaic power mismatch of each phase is automatically eliminated or a simple control strategy is adopted, so that the stable operation of the system is realized while the photovoltaic utilization rate is effectively improved. The problem that the capacitance of an alternating current-direct current power decoupling capacitor is huge must be solved to realize high efficiency and high power density of a photovoltaic grid-connected system, so that a new technology needs to be provided to reduce the required capacitance, a thin film capacitor with long service life and high reliability can be adopted to replace an electrolytic capacitor, and the service life and reliability of the system are improved while the power density of the system is improved.

The core of the invention is to provide a modular circuit topology for a large-scale photovoltaic grid-connected system, the topology has the advantages of modularization and easy expansion, and the local alternating current grid connection is realized while the remote direct current transmission is realized. Compared with the traditional photovoltaic grid-connected system based on MMC, the capacity of the power decoupling capacitor can be reduced by tens of times, and the power density of the system is greatly improved.
The invention provides a novel modular photovoltaic grid-connected inverter topological structure based on a three-port power channel, which is characterized in that: the system comprises a three-port DC/DC converter with a front-stage input port connected with a photovoltaic array, a half-bridge cascade modular multilevel converter with an input end connected with two output ends of the multi-port isolated DC/DC converter, and a rear-stage output end used for local alternating current grid connection and remote direct current transmission

The input port is connected with the photovoltaic array to form a photovoltaic sub-module.
The modular multilevel converter is a three-phase half-bridge cascade MMC topology, and each submodule is a half-bridge circuit and is connected with a power decoupling capacitor in parallel.
The phase unit is all cascaded half-bridge submodules of the same phase of the MMC, and comprises an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm which are respectively connected in series with a filter inductor and connected to one phase of an alternating current power grid. The half-bridge cascade allows the upper and lower terminals of the phase unit to be connected to a medium-high voltage direct current network for long-distance direct current transmission.
The photovoltaic sub-module comprises a three-winding transformer, an auxiliary inductor is connected in series with a primary side, is connected with an H-bridge circuit and is connected to a photovoltaic array, and a photovoltaic panel end capacitor is connected in parallel to suppress voltage ripples of photovoltaic input; two windings on the secondary side are connected with an H bridge respectively. Two output ports of each photovoltaic submodule are respectively connected to two ends of one submodule power decoupling capacitor of each phase of upper and lower bridge arms of the rear-stage MMC. Since there are N sub-modules per leg, each phase of the system will contain N photovoltaic sub-modules. And the exchange of the upper and lower bridge arm power is realized while the MPPT control is realized.

The isolated three-port DC/DC converter is isolated by a three-winding high-frequency transformer, the front stage is connected with the photovoltaic array and the resonant element, and the rear stage is rectified and output by two ports. Besides TAB, structures such as a three-port LLC resonant converter can be adopted to realize soft switching, so that the switching frequency of a front stage is improved, the size of the converter can be further reduced, and the efficiency can be improved.

Photovoltaic power among modules in each bridge arm of the MMC is used for eliminating power mismatch among the modules on the premise of meeting ripple cancellation by adjusting the amplitude of direct current and alternating current components of output voltage of each module.
The MMC adjusts the average direct current side voltage, the system equivalent output voltage and the output current of each submodule according to the magnitude of the photovoltaic power, so that a three-phase alternating current and direct current power grid connected with the MMC is matched.

For the common mode component of the ripple, the output power of the system can be collected, and the double frequency circulation in the system is controlled to be the double frequency circulation through the double frequency circulation controller of the system
Figure BDA0003001342210000101
That is, the common-mode component in the equation (2) becomes zero, and fig. 3(b) is a power decoupling control block diagram of the common-mode component ripple cancellation according to the embodiment of the present invention. The outer ring controller sums the average values of the capacitance and the voltage of the upper and lower bridge arms of each phase, d and q axis components are obtained through double frequency park conversion, and reference quantities of d and q components of the inner ring current are adjusted through the PI controller until the two components are controlled to be zero; the inner ring current controller compares the system circulating current d and q components with a reference quantity, generates a reference value of the system output voltage d and q components through PI control, and generates the system output voltage reference quantity through park inverse transformation.
Fig. 4 is a power mismatch elimination strategy among the bridge arm sub-modules according to the embodiment of the present invention, and since the power mismatch elimination strategy among the bridge arms can be balanced even without an additional control strategy, the photovoltaic power among the modules only needs to be balanced. By comparing the deviation between the capacitor voltage of each module and the average value, the actual output power of each module can be balanced by adjusting the amplitude of the alternating voltage through the PI controller.
Fig. 5 is a block diagram of the overall control system according to the embodiment of the present invention, in which a voltage reference generated by a current inner loop and a circulating current voltage reference generated by a circulating current controller are added to obtain a voltage reference of each bridge arm, and a switching signal of each sub-module switching tube is generated through a power mismatch elimination strategy and carrier phase shift PWM modulation between sub-modules.
Fig. 6(a) is a simulation waveform of the capacitor ripple using the 1.1mF power decoupling capacitor according to the embodiment of the present invention. Because the power decoupling control can completely counteract the low-frequency component of the ripple, the ripple is greatly reduced, and the ripple peak-valley difference is only 25V; fig. 6(b) is a power decoupling capacitor voltage simulation waveform of the conventional MMC-based photovoltaic grid-connected system at the same power level, and under the same ripple peak-valley difference, the conventional topology requires a power decoupling capacitor up to 35mF, which is approximately 30 times larger than the novel modular photovoltaic grid-connected system based on the three-port power channel.
Since the power decoupling control completely cancels out the low frequency amount of the voltage ripple, the ripple factor will mainly depend on the switching frequency of the system. By increasing the switching frequency of the system, the capacitance value of the power decoupling capacitor can be further reduced, so that the size and the service life of the system are further optimized.
FIG. 7 shows that the initial illumination of the photovoltaic array at each phase is 1000W/m according to the embodiment of the invention2Sequentially exposed to the light of the phase unit a reduced to 600W/m2The illumination of the photovoltaic sub-modules 1 and 2 of the phase unit b is reduced to 800W/m2The output current and the system circulation current are simulated. It can be found that when uneven illumination occurs, direct current components are immediately generated by circulation among systems, so that power balance of each phase unit is realized, the output current is not influenced due to inconsistent photovoltaic power among the submodules, the output current is balanced and symmetrical, and the system can well solve the problem of power mismatch.
