Mathematical model of optical energy storage system

Mathematical modeling of photovoltaic power generation systems with energy storage devices. This system includes the mathematical relationship between photovoltaic cells and temperature and solar irradiance, mathematical analysis of charging and discharging of energy storage systems, and mathematical modeling of different working states of bidirectional Buck/Boost converters.

The bidirectional Buck/Boost converter is controlled through pulse width modulation (PWM) complementary control, that is, the same bridge arm switch tubes S1 and S2 are complementary conduction. The flow from the Ub side to the Udc side is in the boost mode, while the opposite is in the boost mode. Usually, a dead time is set to prevent the upper and lower bridge arms from directly passing through short circuits. The topology of the bidirectional Buck/Boost converter is shown in Figure 1.

2.3 Mathematical Model of Bidirectional DC-DC Energy Storage Converter

(1) Analysis of the working status of bidirectional DC-DC energy storage converter:

The complementary PWM driving signal and inductance current waveform of switch S1 and switch S2 are shown in Figure 2 (without considering the dead time of PWM driving waveform).

In Figure 2, g1 is the driving waveform of the upper opening light tube S1, g2 is the driving waveform of the upper opening light tube S2, and iL is the inductance current waveform. In the switching cycle of Ts, the upper and lower switch tubes g1 and g2 complement each other in conduction. Assuming the inductive current during energy storage is in the positive direction, the switching state of a cycle Ts (t0~t4) can be divided into two stages:

1) T0~t2: The switch tube S1 is on, and the switch tube S2 is off. Its energy transformation is:

In the equation: Δ Q1- Discharge energy of energy storage device.

2) T2~t4: Switch tube S1 is turned off, and switch tube S2 is on. Its energy transformation is:

In the equation: Δ Q2- Charging energy of energy storage device.

In summary, the energy change within a switching cycle Ts is:

Under steady-state conditions, the voltage Udc at the power supply end is the voltage Ub at the energy storage end α Times, i.e. Udc= α Ub. If the inductance current of a switching cycle Ts exists in the equation it0=it4, then there is:

In the formula: iL – average inductance current.

Bringing iL into the above equation yields:

By analyzing the energy transformation amount of the above equation Δ Determine the charging and discharging status of energy storage. When the voltage Udc at the power supply end is equal to the voltage Ub at the energy storage end α When multiplied, duty cycle D=1/ α 。 If D>1/ α ,Δ If Q is less than 0, it is recorded as the charging state of the low-voltage side energy storage system; If D<1/ α ,Δ If Q is greater than 0, it is recorded as the discharge status of the low-voltage side energy storage system.

(2) Ideal Switch Model of Buck/Boost Energy Storage Converter

Let the system state equation be: X *=AX+BU. Among them, UC1, UC2, and iL are state variables, denoted as X=(Uc1 Uc2 iL) ^ -1 as the state vector, Udc and Ub as the input perturbation, and U=(Udc Ub) ^ -1 as the input vector, where -1 represents transposition and X * represents taking the first derivative of the state vector X. In summary, the matrix equation can be expressed as:

(1) The upper tube S1 is on, the lower tube S2 is off, and the diodes D1 and D2 in parallel with it are both off; (2) Switch tube S1 is cut off, switch tube S2 is cut off, and diode D2 is in reverse parallel with switch tube S2 for continuous current conduction. The buck/boost converter’s buck equivalent working circuit from Udc to Ub is shown in Figure 3.

Working mode 1: The upper switch S1 is turned on and off in pulse width mode, the lower switch S2 is cut off, and the diodes D1 and D2 are cut off in parallel with the switch S1 and S2. According to Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL), the system voltage loop equation is shown in Equation 17:

The state equation under Buck operating mode 1 is X *=A1X+B1U, and the coefficient matrix can be expressed as:

Working mode 2: From the equivalent circuit in Figure 3 (b), it can be seen that both switch tubes S1 and S2 are in the cut-off state, and diode D1 is cut off in reverse parallel with the opening tube S1, while diode D2 is in reverse parallel with the opening tube S2 for continuous current conduction. It can be expressed as:

Organized:

The state equation in Buck operating mode 2 is X *=A2X+B2U, and the coefficient matrix can be expressed as:

The converter has two working states in Boost mode: (1) the switch S1 is turned off, the switch S2 is turned on, and the diodes D1 and D2 that are antiparallel to the switch S1 and S2 are both turned off; (2) Switch tube S1 is cut off, switch tube S2 is cut off, and diode D1 in reverse parallel with switch tube S1 is continuously connected. The equivalent working circuit of the boost mode is shown in Figure 4.

From the operating mode 1 of Figure 4 (a), it can be seen that the switch tube S1 is cut off, the switch tube S2 is on, and the diodes in reverse parallel with the switch tube are all in the cut off state. The voltage circuit equation in this operating mode is shown in Equation 23:

Phase shifting:

The state equation in Boost operating mode 1 can be expressed as X *=A3X+B3U, and its coefficient matrix is:

From the operating mode 2 of Figure 4 (b), it can be seen that the switch tubes S1 and S2, as well as the anti parallel diode D2, are in the cut-off state, and the anti parallel diode D1 is conducting. The voltage circuit equation under this working mode is shown in Equation 24:

Simplified:

The state equation in Boost operating mode 2 can be expressed as X *=A4X+B4U, and its coefficient matrix is:
