Power and Signal Dual Modulation in DC-AC with Cascaded H-Bridge Converter
摘要
Abstract
In AC microgrids (ACMG)
hierarchical control is widely adopted
and conventionally
communication links are required between converters to transmit control instructions. However
establishing these communication links increases system complexity and introduces communication delays. Consequently
there is an urgent need for highly integrated communication schemes in ACMG. Power and signal dual modulation (PSDM) offers an integrated communication solution that simultaneously modulates and transmits power and data in power electronic systems. In contrast
existing research primarily focuses on DC systems. In this paper
PSDM for cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverters is proposed. The communication function is integrated into the power conversion process by modulating the data around the zero-crossing point of AC bus voltage
without interfering with power transmission. The harmonic effect and power losses introduced by this novel strategy in power transmission are further explored
offering theoretical guidance for designing DC-AC PSDM systems. The proposed method has been implemented in an experimental platform of ACMG. The experimental results validated the proposed modulation scheme for full-duplex communication with a bit rate of 300bps.
