    A bidirectional isolated resonant converter with variable mode and wide voltage range was proposed. The proposed converter has the advantages of BOOST circuit and flyback current feed topology. By reusing the pre-storage and flyback energy feedback of the resonant inductor,it can improve the gain from the battery side to grid side and the power density of the converter,while also reducing the current circulation. The converter adopts fixed frequency pulse width modulation and has multiple working modes,which is suitable for wide range output. the working principle of the converter was first introduced and the output gain when the energy flows in different directions was analyzed. Finally,on the premise of meeting the charge and discharge of the battery in the home distributed energy storage system,the devices and control parameters were designed to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.

    In the grid load control and planning of distribution network,in order to optimize the grid structure of distribution network,such as line loss,power supply quality and load,a grid load control and planning technology based on differential evolution algorithm was proposed. For all kinds of power generation devices in the distribution grid,the power grid planning model was established,the initial population was set and constructed,and the appropriate differential initial vector was selected for mutation processing. On the premise of forming a new individual under the difference increment,in order to improve the diversity of the population of future generations,the differential individual was cross trained by using cross factors to form a new distribution individual. Finally,the greedy selection model was used to evaluate and retain the offspring population,control the active power of controllable load and uncontrollable load,and complete the grid planning. The experimental results show that the load control and planning of distribution grid using differential evolution algorithm are better,the robust performance is superior,and the iteration speed is faster.

    Aiming at the problem of large output voltage fluctuation and long recovery time of three-phase pulse-width modulation (PWM)rectifiers when the load changes,an improved single-neuron gradient learning control strategy was proposed. Due to the poor adaptability of the traditional PI controller parameters when the load changes,a single neuron PI control was adopted in the voltage outer loop,and the gradient descent method was used to adjust the weight parameters online. In order to avoid falling into a local optimal solution during the solution process,a stochastic gradient descent algorithm with restart function (SGDR)was used,and cosine annealing was used to change the learning rate of the weights to improve the convergence performance of the algorithm. Through Matlab and hardware-in-the-loop simulation experiments,the dynamic response performance of the voltage outer loop of the three-phase PWM rectifier under different control algorithms was compared and analyzed. The results show that the three-phase PWM rectifier controlled by the improved single neuron PI algorithm has smaller voltage fluctuation,faster dynamic response and more stable operating state when the load changes.

    The telecommunication power supply applied in 5G base stations can save energy consumption by reducing the output voltage when the equipment works in standby state. Nevertheless,frequent and rapid output voltage regulating of the converters is challenging. To solve this problem,the concept of partial power conversion was adopted in the design of power supply converters. A partial voltage regulating circuit was added at the output side of the converter,and fast output voltage regulating was realized with control of outer voltage loop,inner current loop,load current feedforward and output voltage feedforward loop. At the same time,higher energy conversion efficiency was guaranteed. A 1 kW DC/DC converter was built and verified the effectiveness of the proposed topology and control strategy.
