Résumé

The connection of photovoltaic sources to a medium voltage dc collection network requires a dc-dc converter having specific grid-connected converter capabilities. This article presents the application of a phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter for medium voltage dc collection networks suited to photovoltaic power plants. The unidirectional structure of the converter is beneficial in terms of cost and simplicity of hardware implementation of the MV circuit components. The design of the PSFB converter is presented considering ratings of 250 kW power, 1.2 kV input, and 20 kV output. A converter model and a novel PSFB input voltage control regulating the dc-link voltage are developed and verified. A tuning method is given taking into account the effect of different transformer leakage inductance values. The behaviour of the PSFB under the PV power production profile and MV network faults is studied in simulation and verified against a reduced-scale prototype with ratings of 30 kW and 350 V / 600 V operating at 20 kHz. The experimental verification of the control is performed considering a real PV power profile. The experimental results under faults show the same response as in simulations. The PSFB fault response is observed to be superior compared to other dc-dc topologies with capacitive output filter only, making it suitable for gridconnected operation.
