- FIG. 10 there is shown a first embodiment of a power conversion system 10 in accordance with the present invention.
- the power conversion system 10 is provided for converting DC power from a plurality of power sources 12 to AC power of the type suitable for feeding to a power grid.
- the power conversion system 10 includes a plurality of modules 14 each associated with at least one of the power sources.
- the power sources 12 may be, for example, solar panels or batteries.
- Each of the modules 14 is provided with an input 16 and an output 17.
- DC voltage generated by the power sources 12 is to be provided across the input 16 and the output 17 and the modules 14 are to be connected in series such that the output 17 of each module 14 is connected to the input 16 of a subsequent module 14.
- the power conversion system 10 therefore includes a system input and a system output providing the series voltage across each of the modules 14. That is, the sum of the voltages provided across the inputs 16 and outputs 17 of all of the modules 14.
- Each of the modules 14 is provided with voltage control circuitry to vary the voltage supplied across the input 16 and output 17 of the module 14.
- the module voltage provided across the input and output may be varied between a maximum module voltage and a minimum module voltage by the voltage control circuitry.
- the voltage control circuitry includes a plurality of switching devices.
- the switching devices each comprise a MOSFET. The switching devices are connected such the power source 12 can be switched to either provide a voltage between the input and output in a first polarity, provide a voltage between the input and output in a second polarity or bypassed. Therefore in this embodiment the maximum module voltage is the power source voltage and the minimum module voltage is the reverse polarity power source voltage.
- Each of the modules 14 is also provided with a storage device 18 connected to the terminals of the power source 12.
- the storage devices 18 in the embodiment shown comprise electrolytic capacitors, however other devices such as polymer capacitors or rechargeable batteries may be used.
- the storage devices 18 store charge from the power source 12 such that when the module 14 is bypassed, power generated by the power source 12 continues to be stored in the storage device 18 for use.
- the storage devices 18 may be remote from or part of the power source 12.
- the modules 14 are provided in a number of configurations.
- a first module 20 is provided such that the first module 20 provides power from the connected power source 12 and storage device 18 in first or second polarities across the input and output 16 and 17 or bypasses the power source 12 and storage module 18 such that the input 16 is connected directly to the output 17.
- the maximum module voltage in this case is around the power source voltage and the minimum module voltage is around the negative of the power source voltage.
- the first module 20 comprises a first line 22 and a second line 26 connected in parallel between the input 16 and the output 17.
- the first line 22 is provided with first and second switching devices 24 and 25 and the second line 26 is provided with third and fourth switching devices 27 and 28.
- the power source 12 and storage device 18 are connected across the first and second lines 22 and 26 between the first and second switching devices 24 and 25 and the third and fourth switching devices 27 and 28.
- the power conversion system 10 is provided with a control unit (not shown in Fig 1 ) to control operation of the switching devices.
- the control unit is connected to a control line 30 that communicates information to each of the modules 14 that are connected in series and causes the switching devices to be individually switched either on or off.
- Each of the modules is provided with a local controller 31 that receives the information from the control unit.
- the local controllers of this embodiment provide supervisory functions, locally control the switching devices and pass information about the state of the module 14 back to the main control unit. While the embodiment shown utilises a cable connection to pass control information between the control unit and each of the modules 14, other methods may be employed. For example wireless communication methods may be used to relay information to and/or from the control unit.
- the storage device 18 is connected across the input 16 and output 17 in a first polarity.
- the storage device 18 is connected across the input 16 and output 17 in a second opposite polarity.
- a direct connection is made between the input 16 and the output 17 and the storage device 18 and the power source 12 are bypassed. In the bypassed state, the energy generated by the power source 12 is stored in the storage device 18.
- the main control unit switches each of the modules 14 such that the resulting output voltage of the system 10, being the sum of the voltages across the modules 14 comprises an AC signal.
- the control unit is in communication with the mains supply to receive information regarding the phase voltage and current of the mains signal and controls the modules such that the AC signal voltage created is in phase with the mains supply and the current is controlled to suitable for supply to the mains system.
- the control unit sequentially switches modules 14 from the bypass configuration to the configuration in which the storage device 18 is connected in the first (positive) polarity to raise the system output voltage to follow the mains signal.
- the control unit starts switching modules 14 to the bypass mode to lower the total voltage and follow the mains signal.
- the modules 14 being switched such that the voltage is supplied in the second (negative) polarity to follow the mains signal.
- the resulting AC signal created comprises a stepwise approximation of a sine wave.
- the modules 14 may be arranged to provide voltage levels added to the output of the system 10 that are either multiples or fractions of the voltage generated by the power sources 12 in order to allow closer approximation of the mains signal.
- second and third modules 32 and 33 that provide a voltage doubling function.
- the arrangement of the switching devices in the second and third modules 32 and 33 is the same as that in the first module 20.
- the second and third modules 32 and 33 however are provided with first and second storage devices 18a and 18b connected in series across the first and second lines 22 and 26. Also provided are first, second, third and fourth secondary switching devices 34, 35, 36 and 37.
- the first secondary switching device 34 is connected between a first terminal of the power source 12 and a first side of the first storage device 18a.
- the second secondary switching device 35 is connected between the first terminal of the power source 12 and the second side of the first storage device 18a (being the first side of the second storage device 18b).
- the third secondary switching device 36 is connected from a second terminal of the power source 12 to the second side of the first storage device 18a.
- the fourth secondary switching device 37 is connected between a second terminal of the power source 12 and the second side of the second storage device 18b.
- the power source 12 By switching on the first and third secondary switching devices 34 and 36 and turning off the second and fourth secondary switching devices 35 and 37, the power source 12 can be connected across the first storage device 18a. By switching off the first and third secondary switching devices 34 and 36 and turning on the second and fourth secondary switching devices 35 and 37, the power source 12 can be connected across the second storage device 18b. By alternately charging the first and second storage devices 18a and 18b, the total voltage across the storage devices 18a and 18b can be brought up to around twice the voltage of the power source 12. The second and third modules 32 and 33 can therefore be switched in when larger steps in the total voltage are required to approximate the sinusoidal mains voltage.
- the first module 20 may be switched in the opposite polarity at the same time as either voltage doubler module 32 or 33 is switched in circuit if a smaller step is required.
- the storage device 18 of the reverse switched panel module is charged.
- the second and third modules 32 and 33 therefore act as voltage doublers which has the added advantage of reducing the number of power sources required.
- the power conversion system 10 is also provided with further modules provided to switch voltage to more accurately approximate the sine wave signal. As it is desirable to reduce EMC by not switching the power sources on and off too quickly, higher frequency switching is performed by these further modules separate of the power sources. It is desirable to not inject high frequencies into the grid power and this process ensures capacitance between a power source and an earthed metal roof does not cause these unwanted signals to be conducted back down the grid power lines.
- each of the further modules 40 is of a similar configuration to the first module 20 in that it includes first, second, third and fourth switching devices and a storage device 19 connected in the same manner.
- the main control unit controls the state of charge and therefore the voltage of storage devices 19 of the further modules 40 by choosing the polarity they are switched into circuit. They are discharged when switched in circuit the same way around as the modules and charged when switched into the opposite polarity. They are charged to provide differing voltages in each further module 40.
- the first further module 42 is configured such that the storage device 19 provides a voltage of approximately that of a power source 12.
- the first further module 42 can therefore be switched in the opposite polarity to one of the second or third modules 32 or 33 if only a single level of increased voltage is required.
- the first further module 42 therefore acts as a corrector for the voltage doubler modules 32 and 33 and this results in the storage device 19 of the first further module 42 being charged. If the charge in the storage device 19 of the first further module 42 is sufficiently high, the first further module 42 can simply be switched on to provide the single level of voltage increase.
- the second, third and fourth further modules 43, 44 and 45 are each of the same configuration and the storage devices 19 are charged to reducing voltage levels by the same process described above.
- the storage device 19 of the second further module 43 is charged to around half of the power source voltage.
- the storage device 19 of the third further module 44 is charged to a voltage around half of that of the second further module 43 and the storage device 19 of the fourth further module 45 is charged to a voltage around half of that of the third further module 44.
- the second, third and fourth further modules 43, 44 and 45 can therefore be switched to provide smaller steps in voltage and act as voltage smoothers.
- the switching of the modules 14 takes place providing a high resolution stepwise AC signal similar to that shown in Figure 2.
- the system 10 may be provided with main power inductors 48 connected in series with the modules 14 to smooth the switched voltage.
- Further smoothing may be achieved by switching the further modules to form a PWM signal into the inductors.
- a main relay 50 is provided to switch power from the system 10 to the main grid line.
- High voltage capacitors are provided in series with the control lines to ensure safety and stop corrosion on these lines from anodic or cathodic conduction.
- Information passed along the control lines 30 could be delayed as it transfers through each module 14 but if so then the delay will be known or determinable so each module knows at what time to switch. This is important in situations where for instance power source is to be turned on and another turned off. As the delay is known both switch synchronously thus reducing ripple and EMC spikes from the system.
- Information could be transmitted in both directions, to and from the control unit, and include control information such as when modules should switch and in what way they should switch.
- the step voltage could also be measured at the terminals marked A and B in the drawings. Communication is momentarily delayed during switching and in this way reliable communications continues across the switching event.
- the present system operates at lower voltages than traditional inverters. Generally such inverters operate at the series wired voltage of all power sources. In the present system, the MOSFETS operate at around 50 volts and can therefore have a much lower on resistance than high voltage MOSFETS and do not have the wasted power of IGBTs. This can improve the overall efficiency of the present system relative to known systems. Also, the lower voltage can result in improved reliability. When relay 50 is switched off and each module is commanded to bypass, the system electrically shuts down and is safe for maintenance work to be performed. [060] The main inductors 48 smooth the resulting step or PWM voltages (around 1 /8th of the power source voltage) resulting in low system losses per cycle. The low voltage step permitting the inductor to be much smaller than for conventional inverters.
- each of the modules 14 is provided with a switching regulator 60.
- the switching regulator 60 is provided connected to the storage device 18.
- the switching regulator 60 controls the voltage provided by the storage device 18 across the input 16 and output 17.
- the switching device controls the rate of change of voltage across the input 16 and output 17.
- the switching regulator 60 allows the voltage applied by the storage device 18 to be ramped up or down to more closely approximate the sinusoidal mains signal, rather than the stepwise approximation of the embodiment shown in Figure 1 .
- the switching regulator 60 is controlled by the control unit, which senses the mains voltage signal, such that the voltage applied by the storage device 18 can be appropriately regulated, removing th need for the further modules 42 to 45.
- the switching regulator may be bypassed. This bypassing of the switching regulator 60 when not required will eliminate the losses inside the switching regulator during the period it is not required.
- Figure 3 shows a circuit diagram of circuitry of a module 14 of this type.
- the power sources 12 and the storage devices 18 are not shown in this diagram for clarity.
- the voltage from the storage devices 18 is provided to the circuit at V+ from the storage devices 18 as previously shown in Figure 1 .
- the switching regulator 60 function is provided by a first pair of regulator switching devices Q7 and Q12 and a second pair of regulator switching devices Q6 and Q10.
- First, second, third and fourth switching devices Q8, Q5, Q13 and Q9 are used to control the voltage applied across the input and output in a similar manner to the first embodiment. All of the switching devices are controlled by the control unit 29.
- Q7 When it is required to ramp up the voltage during the positive portion of the AC cycle, Q7 is first switched on for a period required to charge the inductor L1 to have similar current as that flowing from terminal I/O1 to I/O2 and then Q13 is switched off.
- the first pair of regulator switching devices Q7 and Q12 are then used to create a pulse width modulated signal applied to a filter comprising inductor L3 and capacitor C3.
- Q7 and Q12 are alternatively switched on and the percentage of time that Q7 is on relative to Q12 is increased.
- the voltage at Vpwm on the output 17 side increases smoothly and in proportion to the PWM by virtue of the inductor L3 and capacitor C3.
- the slew rate is preferably controllable according to measured current through the module or slew rate commands received from the main control unit. During this time, switching devices Q9 and Q10 are on to bypass the input side of the circuit. Once full voltage is reached, switching device Q8 is turned on to provide the full voltage across the input 16 and output 17.
- Two or more modules may provide PWM ramping at the same time with the control unit using an overlap of PWM to provide a smooth transition of ramping from one module to another.
- the system can in this case operate without first, second, third and fourth switching devices Q8, Q5, Q13 and Q9.
- Figure 4 shows a further alternative embodiment of the arrangement of the panel module 14.
- the circuit of Figure 4 is similar to that of Figure 3 however only one side is provided to create only a unidirectional waveform.
- the series connected modules therefore create a rectified version of an AC signal.
- Switching devices Q100, Q101 , Q102 and Q103 in the control unit are then provided to convert to the full waveform by switching on Q100 and Q103 during one half cycle and switching on Q101 and Q102 during the alternate half cycle.
- the control unit may be configurable by a device having a user interface.
- the control unit may be configurable such that the system produces an output of a configured voltage level and frequency. The system will then produce this voltage level and frequency as long as there are sufficient modules to operate reliably and while the detected mains signal is within an acceptable range of the configured voltage and frequency. Alternatively, if the system is not connected to a mains supply and used to supply standalone power, the system will simply provide the configured voltage and frequency.
- the control unit may therefore be configured by the user interface to provide power for a range of systems such as 1 10V, 240V and 415V systems.
- one or more modules could operate with a single polarity only.
- the control means either controls back to back modules to provide the required reverse polarity or incorporates a switching means that converts unidirectional voltages received from modules to an AC signal for driving the mains terminals.
- control means may incorporate a switching regulator in place of some or all of the smoothing modules, the switching regulator being used to compensate for the stepwise voltages received from the modules and being smoothed by a common filter capacitor placed across the mains terminals.
- This switching regulator may be incorporated into one of the modules drawing power from its storage capacitor.
- a regulator device (not shown) may be provided between the power sources 12 and the associated storage devices 18.
- the regulator devices may be switching regulators provided to match the voltages of the power sources to the voltages in the storage devices.
- the system may be configured to detect the levels of charge in the power sources and to redistribute the charge to balance the charge levels between power sources.
- the main controller may balance the levels by switching modules with excess charge in circuit in a forward direction while switching modules with a deficient charge level in a reverse direction so the current flowing in the system redistributes the charge to balance the charge levels.
- EMI electro-magnetic interference
- Such shielding may be incorporated in systems with batteries as the power sources may have high switching frequencies and currents outside of a module, for instance where a common filter capacitor is used.
- UPS uninterruptable power supply
- the power source 12 doubles as the storage device 18 with charge recovery taking place when the module is not supplying power to the system.
- a capacitor may be used across the lines 22 and 26 for the prevention of unwanted EMI and unwanted switching currents in the power sources.
- an inductor may be placed between the power source 12 and module 14 for the same purpose.
- the power conversion system may incorporate a control routine that provides a power conditioning function to improve the AC wave shape.
- the control routine takes account of instantaneous currents and/or harmonic currents and/or harmonic voltages and alters the system output so that the resulting wave shape at the system output or a location remote from the output to which the signal is delivered more closely resembles a sine wave.
- Power for traction control could be provided by configuring the system in two strings (delta configuration) or three strings (star configuration) to provide three phase power to a traction motor.
- System outpur voltage and frequency would be controllable.
- Inductors could be provided between the power sources and storage devices with modules being switched sequentially so the inductors smooth the current in the batteries. In a closed system such as this, no output smoothing capacitor is required, however capacitors could still be used to reduce EMI.
