Abstract
The characteristics of small volume, modularity, and easy expansion in solid-state transformers (SST), which makes SST widely applied in electric vehicle swapping stations. However, due to various loads and pulsed loads, voltage instability and fluctuation problems inevitably occur in electric vehicle swapping stations. Aiming at these problems, a topology structure based on a Modular Multilevel Solid State Transformer (MMC-SST) is proposed. It is the first choice for realizing the flexible power allocation of AC/DC hybrid system and the interconnection of medium and low voltage. The performance of the DC bus voltage of the charging station has been improved. Based on this topology, an energy management strategy with virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control is proposed to smoothly transition the on-grid and off-grid processes of the distributed power source. In addition, due to the frequency regulation is applied in the control system, the energy storage system has damping and inertia when the output of the new energy power generation equipment changes or load fluctuation, reducing the impact on the load energy storage equipment and improving the stability and safety of the electric vehicle charging station system. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed topology and its control strategy in different working scenarios are verified by simulation. Simulation analysis shows that the proposed topology has good advantages in DC bus voltage stability, optimization of electric vehicle charging characteristics and load management.
