Background
In recent years, with the continuous progress of battery manufacturing technology and power electronic technology, battery energy storage technology has been developed to some extent. Aiming at the problems that the voltage grades of the applied battery modules are not consistent, the grid-connected voltage is far higher than the voltage of a single battery module and the like, a two-stage topology (namely an AC/DC converter and a DC/DC converter) gradually becomes one of the mainstream solutions. In a two-stage topology, a DC/DC converter is responsible for boosting the battery module voltage, and an AC/DC converter is responsible for converting the high DC voltage to high AC voltage suitable for network access. When the battery connected with a certain group of DC/DC converters has a fault, the group of DC/DC converters only needs to be stopped, and the whole system does not need to be stopped. The two-tier topology has greater redundancy and flexibility than a single-tier topology.
However, in the conventional two-stage energy storage converter structure with the parallel connection at the DC, an equalization circuit needs to be added in the battery cluster, and the charging and discharging equalization control cannot be directly performed on all the battery modules. Although the energy storage converter structure that the switch group is connected in series on the DC side can solve the problem of charge-discharge balance of the battery module, there is no isolation structure on the low-voltage DC side, and certain danger is generated to an operator when the battery module is replaced.

When the AC/DC conversion module employs a two-level bridge converter, the energy storage converter is as shown in fig. 1, when the AC/DC conversion module employs a T-type three-level converter, the energy storage converter is as shown in fig. 2, and when the AC/DC conversion module employs a diode-clamped three-level converter, the energy storage converter is as shown in fig. 3.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic flow chart of a charging and discharging control method of an energy storage converter according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the method includes the following steps:
acquiring charge and discharge state information of a battery module at a load of the energy storage converter;
when the battery module is in a charging state, acquiring the charging voltage of the battery module;
if the charging voltage of the battery module exceeds a preset first voltage threshold, controlling the flyback converter to enter a preset switch working state so as to enable the battery module to enter a balance control state; or keeping the battery module in a charging state;
when the battery module is in a discharging state, acquiring the discharging voltage of the battery module;
if the discharge voltage of the battery module exceeds a preset second voltage threshold, controlling the flyback converter to enter the switch working state so as to enable the battery module to enter a balance control state; or to maintain the battery module in a discharged state.
It should be noted that the charging and discharging control method of each battery module is the same, and only one of the battery modules is taken as an example for description. As for the flyback converter, it is referred to a flyback converter to which the battery module as an example is correspondingly connected, and not a flyback converter to which other battery modules are correspondingly connected.
Specifically, charge and discharge state information of a battery module at the load of the energy storage converter is obtained;
when the battery module is in a charging state, acquiring the charging voltage of the battery module;
if the charging voltage of the battery module exceeds a preset first voltage threshold, the charging voltage of the battery module approaches the set upper limit value of the charging voltage, and at the moment, the flyback converter needs to be controlled to enter a preset switch working state, so that the battery module enters a balance control state; or continue to maintain the battery module in a charged state. When the battery module enters the equalization control state, namely the battery module is not charged and is not discharged outwards, the battery module can be switched out of the charging circuit at the moment, and the battery module to be charged is replaced. When the battery module is kept in a charging state, because the battery module is close to the end of charging, the flyback converter needs to be controlled to be in a constant voltage output state, so that the battery module is not powered down.
When the battery module is in a discharging state, acquiring the discharging voltage of the battery module;
if the discharge voltage of the battery module exceeds a preset second voltage threshold, the discharge voltage of the battery module approaches a lower limit value of the discharge voltage, and at the moment, the flyback converter needs to be controlled to enter a preset switch working state, so that the battery module enters a balance control state; or to continue to maintain the battery module in a discharged state. When the battery module enters the balance control state, the battery module can be switched out of a charging circuit to replace the battery module to be discharged. When the battery module is in a discharge state, the flyback converter needs to be controlled to be in a constant voltage output state because the battery module is close to the end of discharge, so that the direct current side of the flyback converter maintains a stable output voltage. As an improvement of the above scheme, the controlling the flyback converter to enter a preset switch operating state so as to enable the battery module to enter a balanced control state specifically includes:
and controlling a primary side switch tube of the flyback converter to be in a normally open state, and controlling a secondary side switch tube of the flyback converter to be in a normally closed state, so that the battery module enters a balanced control state.
Specifically, a primary side switch tube of the flyback converter is controlled to be in a normally open state, and a secondary side switch tube of the flyback converter is controlled to be in a normally closed state, so that the battery module enters a balanced control state.
It is worth reminding that, keeping the battery module in the charging state, the primary side switch of the flyback converter needs to be continuously controlled to be turned on or off, and the secondary side switch tube of the flyback converter is synchronously controlled to be correspondingly turned off or on, so that the battery module is kept in the charging state. That is, the primary side switching tube Q of the flyback converter is controlled1pIs a main switch tube and is controlled by a control Q1pThe high frequency of the tube turns on/off to thereby achieve the function of voltage chopping. Secondary side switch tube Q1nActing as a synchronous rectifier, i.e. when Q is1pQ when the tube is opened1nThe tube is shut off; q1pQ at tube turn-off1nThe tube is opened.
And keeping the battery module in a discharging state, continuously controlling the secondary side switch of the flyback converter to be switched on or switched off, and synchronously controlling the primary side switch tube of the flyback converter to be correspondingly switched off or switched on so as to keep the battery module in the discharging state. That is, the secondary side switching tube Q of the flyback converter is controlled1nIs a main switch tube and is controlled by a control Q1nThe on/off time of the tube is thereby obtainedThe function of voltage chopping is now present. Primary side switch tube Q1pActing as a synchronous rectifier, i.e. when Q is1nQ when the tube is opened1pThe tube is shut off; q1nQ at tube turn-off1pThe tube is opened.
As an improvement of the above scheme, after the battery module enters the equalization control state, the method further includes:
and when detecting that the number of the battery modules in the energy storage converter is greater than a preset number threshold value, taking out the battery modules and replacing the battery modules with new battery modules.
Specifically, after the battery module enters the equalization control state, the battery module can be switched out of the energy storage converter, but before the battery module is switched out, the number of the battery modules in the energy storage converter needs to be detected, and since a certain number of batteries are always required on the direct current side of the circuit to support the direct current voltage, a number threshold value can be preset.
When the number of the battery modules in the energy storage converter is detected to be larger than a preset number threshold, if the battery modules need to be replaced, the battery modules can be taken out, and new battery modules can be replaced. Referring to fig. 5, it is an equivalent schematic diagram of a circuit cut-out of thebattery module 1 of the energy storage converter at the end of charging/discharging according to the embodiment of the present invention. And when the taken out battery module is fully charged, the battery module to be charged is replaced, and after the battery module is replaced, the switching working state of the flyback converter is changed, so that the flyback converter enters the charging state again. And when the taken out battery module is discharged, replacing the battery module to be discharged, and changing the switch working state of the flyback converter after replacing the battery module so as to enable the flyback converter to enter the discharging state again.
In order to deepen understanding of the charging and discharging control method of the energy storage converter, the embodiment of the invention further provides a simple flow diagram of the charging and discharging control method of the energy storage converter, and the diagram is shown in fig. 6.
In summary, according to the energy storage converter and the charge and discharge control method thereof provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the LCL filter is additionally installed on the AC side of the AC/DC converter, so that the high-frequency harmonic suppression effect of the converter on the network access current is greatly increased. The LCL filter is used, the size of the filter is reduced, and meanwhile, the practicability of the LCL filter is improved by the provided simple calculation method of the damping resistance. In addition, the DC/DC converter adopts the bidirectional flyback converter with isolation and a plurality of modules with primary sides connected in series, so that the low-voltage side is isolated from the high-voltage side, and the system safety is improved; the turn ratio of the transformer of the flyback converter can be adjusted according to different rated voltages of the connected module batteries, so that the application range of the energy storage converter to various module batteries is enlarged; the high-voltage side and the low-voltage side of the energy storage converter are isolated, so that the transmission path of electromagnetic noise in a circuit can be cut off, and the current-voltage waveform quality is improved. According to the charge and discharge control method of the energy storage converter, disclosed by the invention, the overcharge and the overdischarge of the module battery are avoided to a certain extent, and the service life of the battery module is prolonged; meanwhile, the DC/DC converter has an isolation function, so that the battery module can be replaced more safely when the converter is switched out of the battery, and certain flexibility is realized.
While the foregoing is directed to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
