It should be understood that the terms "first", "second", and "third" in the embodiments of the present application are used for convenience of description only, and do not limit the present application.
The embodiment of the application provides a method for obtaining a bus capacitance value, which comprises the steps of measuring the current of one input end of a three-level inverter and the bus voltage before the input end and other input ends, then calculating the difference value of the two bus voltages, and obtaining the average value of the two bus capacitances through the current of the input end and the difference value of the two bus voltages.

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the method provided by the present embodiment, the following description is made in conjunction with a topology diagram of a three-level inverter, and refer to fig. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a three-level inverter provided in the present application.
The three-level inverter comprises the following three input terminals: a first input O, a second input P and a third input Q;

in particular, the average capacity value is
Figure BDA0002486112180000051
It should be noted that the input terminal of the three-level inverter is connected in parallel with two capacitors, i.e., C1 and C2, which are connected in series. By using the method provided by the embodiment, the average capacitance values of C1 and C2 can be obtained, the average capacitance value is compared with the preset interval, and if the average capacitance value is smaller than the preset interval, it is considered that the bus capacitor has a fault, which may be a C1 fault, a C2 fault, or both C1 and C2 faults. It is understood that the average capacity value is smaller than the predetermined interval, which means that the average capacity value is smaller than the minimum value of the predetermined interval. If the average capacitance value is within the preset interval, the bus capacitance is considered to be normal, namely, both C1 and C2 are normal.
The method is applied to a three-level inverter, which comprises the following three input ends: a first input, a second input, and a third input; the second input end is the middle point of the inverter, and the method obtains the middle point voltage and the current flowing through the middle point to obtain the bus capacitance. Since the inverter comprises three inputs and therefore two bus capacitors, the average capacitance of the two bus capacitors is obtained with this method. Namely obtaining the current of the second input end; obtaining a positive bus voltage Up between the first input end and the second input end, and obtaining a negative bus voltage Un between the second input end and the third input end; obtaining the voltage difference between the Up and the Un; and obtaining the average capacitance value of the first bus capacitor and the second bus capacitor according to the current of the second input end and the voltage difference.
The method can obtain the capacity of the bus capacitor in real time without adding extra hardware sensors, and the hardware cost is not increased.
In addition, in this embodiment, the current Im at the second input end P can be obtained by calculating the three-phase currents Ia, Ib, and Ic output by the inverter and the duty ratios Vma, Vmb, and Vmc of the three-phase arm voltages of the inverter. The following detailed description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The second method embodiment:
in order to make those skilled in the art better understand the method provided by the present embodiment, the following description is made in conjunction with a topology diagram of a three-level inverter, and refer to fig. 4, which is a topology diagram of a three-level inverter provided in the present application, and the topology diagram includes:
the filter 300: a three-phase current for filtering the output;
the direct-current power supply 400: for representing the dc power output by the photovoltaic array.
S201: obtaining three-phase currents Ia, Ib and Ic output by the inverter;
s202: obtaining duty ratios Vma, Vmb and Vmc of three-phase bridge arm voltage of the inverter;
taking phase C as an example, the output current is Ic, and the current flowing into the bridge arm from the midpoint is Imc;
in the positive half PWM modulation period, the potential of the point C is switched by the positive bus and the midpoint potential; the voltage of the C point to the mother midpoint is determined by the unit modulation voltage Vmc in each switching period; that is, when Vmc is high, T1 is on, and the voltage at the midpoint of the point C is Up(ii) a When Vmc is zero potential, T1 is off, and T2 and T3 are on, the potential at the midpoint of the point C is 0.
Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, after the unit of Vmc is quantized, the duty ratio of the C phase is expressed by Vmc.
And when the pulse width modulation (Vmc) is in a negative half PWM modulation period, the Vmc is a negative value, and the absolute value of the quantized Vmc is taken to represent the duty ratio of the phase C.
Therefore, the duty ratio of the C-phase can be uniformly expressed as | Vmc | based on the values of Vmc of the positive and negative periods.
S203: and obtaining the current of the second input end according to the Ia, Ib and Ic and the Vma, Vmb and Vmc.
The duty ratio is the ratio of the time that T1 is turned on in one period to the total period. When T1 is turned on, the current does not flow through the middle point of the bus, and the current Imc flowing through the middle point of the bus at the moment is 0; when T1 is turned off and T2 and T3 are turned on, the current Ic flows from the midpoint of the bus through T2 and T3, and the instantaneous current Imc at this time is Ic.
Therefore, Imc ═ (1- | Vmc |) Ic can be obtained.
Similarly, currents flowing from the A, B phases at the points are Ima ═ (1- | Vma |). Ia and Imb ═ 1- | Vmb |). Ib, respectively.
Thus, Im ═ Ima + Imb + Imc ═ Ia + Ib + Ic- (| Vma | Ia + | Vmb | Ib + | Vmc | Ic).
S204: obtaining a positive bus voltage Up between the first input end and the second input end, and obtaining a negative bus voltage Un between the second input end and the third input end;
that is, a positive bus voltage Up between the first input terminal O and the second input terminal P is obtained, and a negative bus voltage Un between the second input terminal P and the third input terminal Q is obtained.
S205: obtaining the voltage difference between the Up and the Un;
the midpoint of the inverter refers to the second input of the inverter, i.e., point P.
Specifically, when the three-level inverter is a midpoint clamp type inverter, the fluctuation component of the midpoint voltage of the inverter is mainly a 3-fold frequency component, and thus, the three-fold frequency component of the midpoint voltage of the inverter is obtained to represent the midpoint voltage thereof. Namely, obtaining the voltage difference between the Up and the Un, and obtaining the frequency tripling voltage component of the voltage difference between the Up and the Un.
In a midpoint clamped inverter, the ripple component of the inverter midpoint voltage is mainly a 3-fold frequency component, and therefore s ═ j × 3 × 2 × pi × Fn, where Fn is the fundamental frequency of the grid voltage and s is the laplace operator.
S206: obtaining an average capacitance value of the first bus capacitor and the second bus capacitor according to the current of the second input end and the voltage difference;
in particular, the average capacity value is

Ip=s*C*Up;
In=s*C*Un;
Im=Ip-In=s*C*(Up-Un);

When Ia + Ib + Ic is 0, it can be simplified as:

in addition, the topology diagram of the three-level inverter provided in fig. 4 of the present application is only an example of one topology diagram, and the topology of the three-level inverter provided in the present application may adopt any topology of a three-level inverter.
Referring to fig. 7, the figure is a topology diagram of a T-shaped three-level inverter provided in the present application; i.e., each leg of the three-level inverter in fig. 4 is a T-shaped topology as shown in fig. 7.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the current of the second input end can be obtained by utilizing the three-phase currents Ia, Ib and Ic output by the inverter and the duty ratios Vma, Vmb and Vmc of the three-phase bridge arm voltage of the inverter, then the voltage of the midpoint bus, namely the voltage difference between Vp and Vn, is measured, and the average value of the two bus capacitors is obtained through the current of the second input end and the difference value of the two bus voltages. Therefore, in the embodiment, the current of the second input end is obtained by directly using the duty ratio of the three-phase arm voltage of the inverter, sampling by using hardware is not needed, and the duty ratio of the three-phase arm voltage of the inverter is a known quantity for the controller, so that the capacity of the bus capacitor can be calculated by only detecting Vp and Vn without adding an additional sensor, and thus, the hardware cost is not increased.
