  • Publication number: 20230216423
    Abstract: A power converter includes a PCB having opposing first and second sides, and a plurality of first commutation units and first capacitor unit disposed on the PCB. Each first commutation unit includes a first discrete component and a second discrete component. The second end of the first discrete component is electrically coupled to the first end of the second discrete component, and the first capacitor unit is electrically coupled to the first ends of the first discrete components and the second ends of the second discrete components in the plurality of first commutation units, respectively. The first discrete components and the second discrete components in the plurality of first commutation units are arranged in a row. The first discrete component and the second discrete component in each first commutation unit form a commutation loop together with the first capacitor unit.

  • Publication number: 20230073099
    Abstract: A power converter is provided. The power converter includes power units and local controller. Input terminals of the power units are connected to each other in series. Output terminals of the plurality of power units are connected to each other in parallel. The local controllers are electrically connected to the power units respectively. Each local controller controls an operation of switching devices in the corresponding power unit. Each local controller receives an input capacitor voltage on an input capacitor of the corresponding power unit, an input reference voltage and an output voltage of the power converter. In each power unit and the corresponding local controller, when an input difference between the input reference voltage and the input capacitor voltage is smaller than a first set value, the local controller controls a switching frequency of the switching devices in the corresponding power unit to jump to a preset frequency.

  • Patent number: 11515777
    Abstract: A cascaded conversion system and a voltage equalizing control method thereof are provided. The cascaded conversion system includes a plurality of conversion circuits connected in cascade. Each conversion circuit includes a DC-side capacitor, a switching unit and a control unit. The DC-side capacitors of the conversion circuits are electrically connected in series. In each conversion circuit, the switching unit is connected to the DC-side capacitor in parallel and includes a plurality of bridge arms. Each bridge arm includes a first switch and a second switch. The control unit controls the switches according to the voltage across the DC-side capacitor. The control unit controls the first and second switches to be turned on alternately.
