Abstract

A transport climate control system is disclosed. The transport climate control system includes a self-configuring matrix power converter having a charging mode, an inverter circuit, a controller, a first DC energy storage and a second DC energy storage, and a compressor. The first DC energy storage and the second DC energy storage have different voltage levels. During the charging mode, the inverter circuit is configured to convert a first AC voltage from an energy source to a first DC voltage, the controller is configured to control the self-configuring matrix power converter to convert the first DC voltage to a first output DC voltage to charge the first DC energy storage, and/or to a second output DC voltage to charge the second DC energy storage.

Claims (38)

1. A power converter for a transport climate control system, the transport climate control system including a compressor and providing climate control within a climate controlled space, the power converter comprising:

a first converter circuit;

a transformer circuit connecting to the first converter circuit;

a second converter circuit connecting to the transformer circuit; and

at least one switch having a first state and a second state;

wherein the power converter has an operation mode,

wherein during the operation mode, the at least one switch is controlled to be in the first state to convert a first input DC voltage to a first DC voltage, and to be in the second state to convert a second input DC voltage to a second DC voltage,

wherein the first input DC voltage is different from the second input DC voltage,

wherein the power converter has a charging mode,

wherein during the charging mode, the at least one switch is controlled to be in the first state to convert a first charging DC voltage to a first output DC voltage, and to be in the second state to convert a second charging DC voltage to a second output DC voltage,

wherein the first output DC voltage is different from the second output DC voltage.

2. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the first converter circuit is a half-bridge inverter.

3. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the first converter circuit is a full-bridge inverter.

4. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the first converter circuit is bidirectional.

6. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the transformer circuit has at least two windings, each of the at least two windings has a core.

7. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the second converter circuit is a passive rectifier.

8. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the second converter circuit is an active rectifier.

9. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the second converter circuit is bidirectional.

10. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one switch is a MOSFET switch.

11. The power converter according to claim 1 , further comprising a capacitor, wherein the capacitor is a DC blocking capacitor disposed between the first converter circuit and the transformer circuit.

12. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the first DC voltage is the same as the second DC voltage.

13. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein during the operation mode, when the at least one switch is in the first state, the first converter circuit is configured to convert the first input DC voltage to a first AC low voltage, the transformer circuit is configured to convert the first AC low voltage to a first AC high voltage, the second converter circuit is configured to convert the first AC high voltage to the first DC voltage; and when the at least one switch is in the second state, the first converter circuit is configured to convert the second input DC voltage to a second AC low voltage, the transformer circuit is configured to convert the second AC low voltage to a second AC high voltage, the second converter circuit is configured to convert the second AC high voltage to the second DC voltage.

14. The power converter according to claim 13 , wherein inputs of the transformer circuit connect to outputs of the first converter circuit, outputs of the transformer circuit connect to inputs of the second converter circuit.

15. The power converter according to claim 14 , wherein the transformer circuit has first windings and second windings, the at least one switch is controlled such that at least one of the first windings and the second windings are used in the transformer circuit.

16. A power converter for a transport climate control system, comprising:

a first converter circuit; a transformer circuit having a first primary winding and a second primary winding; a second converter circuit; and a plurality of switches having a first state, a second state, a third state, and a fourth state,

wherein the transformer circuit connects to the first converter circuit, the second converter circuit connects to the transformer circuit, and the power converter has an operation mode, wherein during the operation mode, the plurality of switches is controlled to be

in the first state to convert a first input DC voltage to a first DC voltage and to enable the first primary winding;

in the second state to convert the first input DC voltage to the first DC voltage and to enable the second primary winding;

in the third state to convert the first input DC voltage to the first DC voltage and to enable both the first primary winding and the second primary winding; and

in the fourth state to convert a second input DC voltage to a second DC voltage and to enable both the first primary winding and the second primary winding, wherein the first input DC voltage is different from the second input DC voltage.

17. The power converter of claim 16 , wherein in the third state, the first primary winding and the second primary winding work in parallel for the power converter to provide the first DC voltage.

18. The power converter of claim 16 , wherein output current of the power converter in the third state is greater than output current of the power converter in the first state or in the second state.

19. The power converter of claim 16 , wherein the second primary winding is disabled in the first state, and the first primary winding is disabled in the second state.

20. The power converter of claim 16 , wherein the power converter has a charging mode,

wherein during the charging mode, the plurality of switches is controlled to be in a first charging state to convert a first charging DC voltage to a first output DC voltage, and to be in a second charging state to convert a second charging DC voltage to a second output DC voltage,

wherein the first output DC voltage is different from the second output DC voltage.
