Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power electronics, and particularly relates to a high-synchronization control device and method for IGBT series valve drive signals. Background Art

[0002] IGBT series technology is the most direct technical means to increase the capacity and voltage level of power electronic converters. It has simple and reliable control, and can greatly reduce the floor area and cost of converter valves, and is applicable to scenarios such as flexible DC transmission and high-voltage large-capacity STATCOM. Traditional converter valves use single-module IGBTs, and each IGBT device is equipped with a sub-unit controller. The superior of the sub-unit controller is the valve base controller. The valve base controller realizes the modulation function, packs the generated PWM signal group after modulation and sends it to each sub-unit controller through optical fiber. The sub-unit controller receives the data of the valve base controller, parses it and generates a PWM signal to trigger the corresponding IGBT.

[0003] This method is not applicable to IGBT series valves. The purpose of IGBT series valves is to meet the high-voltage level scenarios by series voltage division of multiple IGBT devices. In high-voltage level applications, it is necessary to have a good voltage sharing effect among the IGBT devices in the same string to avoid damage to a certain device due to high voltage. The drive signals of IGBT series valves require very high synchronization and very high control accuracy. However, the traditional sub-unit controller and valve base controller communicate through a serial protocol. Due to the crystal oscillator deviation between different sub-unit controllers, it is difficult to achieve precise control. Low control accuracy in the series valve will result in poor voltage sharing effect among the IGBTs in the same string, which will cause a certain device to be damaged due to high voltage. At the same time, the serial communication protocol has a low rate and a slow communication cycle, and the switching frequency of the device will also be limited. Summary of the Invention

[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the following embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] Embodiment 1

[0071] The present invention provides a high synchronization control device for IGBT series valve drive signals. As Figure 1 shown, it includes: a main control chassis, a main valve base control chassis, and multiple slave valve base control chassis; the main valve base control chassis includes: a valve control main control board; each slave valve base control chassis includes: a valve control slave control board;

[0072] The valve control main control board is respectively connected to the main control chassis and each valve control slave control board, and each valve control slave control board is connected to the IGBT series valve through a sub-unit controller;

[0073] The main control chassis is used for, when all IGBT series valves are powered on, sending an unlocking instruction and a modulation wave to the valve control main control board;

[0074] The valve control main control board is used for modulating the modulation wave to obtain a PWM signal and sending the PWM signal to the valve control slave control board; and after receiving the handshake signal replied by the valve control slave control board, sending an unlocking instruction to the valve control slave control board;

[0075] The valve control slave control board is used for, when receiving the PWM signal, replying a handshake signal to the valve control main control board; and after receiving the unlocking instruction, controlling the IGBT series valve to act according to the PWM signal by controlling the sub-unit controller.

[0076] It can be understood that the main valve base control chassis of the present invention serves as the core processing unit for all modulation algorithms. The single-clock processing ensures the synchronization of PWM signals and simplifies the timing. As the PWM signal distribution and execution unit, the valve base control chassis can achieve the expansion of driving signals for large-scale IGBT series valves and can realize the real-time and rapid adjustment of the equalizing parameters of IGBTs in the same string.

[0077] Between the main control board and the slave control board of the valve control of the present invention, a pulse edge handshake method is adopted. The main control board of the valve control issues a PWM pulse waveform, and when the slave control board of the valve control receives the PWM pulse waveform and encounters an edge, it returns a handshake signal to ensure the reliability of communication between the master and the slave.

[0078] Based on the characteristics of IGBT series valves and the application scenarios of IGBT series valves, in order to meet the requirements of highly synchronous triggering of large-scale IGBTs, the present invention designs a master-slave chassis-type valve base control architecture. The valve base control chassis directly triggers in a pulse manner to achieve high synchronization of driving signals. The function boards of the master and slave valve base control chassis are configured identically, and the difference lies in the number of configured optical head interface boards. According to the number of IGBT devices required in the actual project, different numbers of slave valve base control chassis and the number of optical head interface boards of the main valve base controller are configured. Further, the main valve base control chassis further includes: a first backplane, a first power supply board, and a plurality of first optical head interface boards;

[0079] The plurality of first optical head interface boards are arranged on the first backplane in a plug-in card manner, and the first power supply board is respectively connected to the main control board of the valve control and the first backplane;

[0080] The first backplane is used to provide communication between the plurality of first optical head interface boards and the main control board of the valve control and to supply power to the plurality of first optical head interface boards;

[0081] The plurality of first optical head interface boards are used for external communication of the main control board of the valve control;

[0082] The first power supply board is used to supply power to the main control board of the valve control and the first backplane.

[0083] Further, the slave valve base control chassis further includes: a second backplane, a second power supply board, and a plurality of second optical head interface boards;

[0084] The plurality of second optical head interface boards are arranged on the second backplane in a plug-in card manner. The plurality of second optical head interface boards are connected to the slave control board of the valve control. The second power supply board is respectively connected to the slave control board of the valve control and the second backplane. The second optical head interface boards are connected to the first optical head interface boards;

[0085] The second backplane is used to provide communication between the plurality of second optical head interface boards and the slave control board of the valve control and to supply power to the plurality of second optical head interface boards;

[0086] Multiple second optical head interface boards for external communication of the valve-controlled slave control board;

[0087] The second power supply board for powering the valve-controlled slave control board and the second backplane.

[0088] It can be understood that the number of optical head interface boards can be designed according to project requirements and chassis size, and multiple channel configurations can be achieved through plug-in cards.

[0089] It should be noted that the optical head interface board is pluggable, inserted into the chassis backplane and connected to the main control board. The transceiver data is all electrical signals. The other end of the optical head interface board can be but is not limited to an ST optical port, communicating with external devices through optical fibers. The optical head interface board realizes optical-electrical conversion through hardware, and there is no control chip on the optical head interface board.

[0090] The present invention adopts the method of directly connecting the optical port to send PWM pulse communication to realize multi-chassis expansion. This architecture can not only meet the IGBT requirements of different quantities but also meet the high synchronization requirements of all IGBT devices.

[0091] Furthermore, the first optical head interface board is connected to the main control chassis and the second optical head interface board through optical fibers;

[0092] The valve-controlled main control board is connected to all valve-controlled slave control boards through optical fibers, and the valve-controlled slave control boards are connected to each other through optical fibers to form a fault blocking bus.

[0093] It should be noted that the valve base control chassis uses optical fiber communication to send the PWM signal to the sub-unit controller in a pulse direct-through manner, which can achieve long-distance signal transmission, reduce interference. The sub-unit controller then converts the optical signal into an electrical signal to trigger the IGBT. The valve base control chassis directly sending the PWM signal improves the control accuracy and the switching frequency. The fault blocking bus between valve base control chassis is realized in a series manner, saving channel numbers, sharing data through internal mapping, and ensuring fast response to fault blocking through optical fiber pulse mode to ensure the safety of the device.

[0094] Furthermore, the valve-controlled main control board and the valve-controlled slave control board can be but are not limited to using FPGA to realize the internal logic and timing of the valve base controller.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the external interface of the optical head interface board can be but is not limited to using an ST optical head for expanding the drive interface of the control board. The number of optical ports of one optical head interface board can be designed differently according to actual project requirements. The first optical head interface board receives the PMW signal from the control board through the backplane, converts it into an optical signal and sends it to the slave valve base control chassis or the IGBT drive board through the optical port respectively. The control board can also be but is not limited to using an ST optical head to connect to the optical head interface board and other control boards.

[0096] The present invention is mainly applied to the synchronous control of multiple valve base controllers of a large-scale press-fit type IGBT series valve. The series IGBT is more suitable for high voltage levels and large capacity scenarios by equalizing voltage through the series connection of multiple IGBT devices. Each IGBT device in the IGBT series valve is independently controlled by a valve base controller, and it can ensure the synchronous turn-on and turn-off of each IGBT. The present invention adopts a master-slave valve base control architecture design, uses the master valve base control chassis to complete modulation, and the slave valve base control chassis to realize the distribution of PWM signals to achieve the synchronous control of all IGBT devices, thereby realizing the drive interface configuration of different numbers of IGBT series valves.

[0097] Furthermore, the master control chassis is also used for:

[0098] After the master control chassis, the valve control main control board, and all valve control slave control boards are powered on, sending a reset instruction to the valve control main control board;

[0099] And after receiving the power-on status of all IGBT series valves, if all IGBT series valves are powered on, sending an unlock instruction and a modulation wave to the valve control main control board; if not all IGBT series valves are powered on, then issuing a fault alarm.

[0100] Furthermore, the valve control main control board is also used for sending the reset instruction to all valve control slave control boards; and feeding back the power-on status of the IGBT series valve to the master control chassis;

[0101] The valve control slave control board is also used for, after receiving the reset instruction, detecting the power-on status of its corresponding IGBT series valve and feeding back the power-on status of the IGBT series valve to the valve control main control board.

[0102] Furthermore, the valve control main control board is specifically used for:

[0103] Modulating the modulation wave with a pre-generated triangular carrier wave to obtain an initial signal;

[0104] Performing pulse width processing and dead zone processing on the initial signal to obtain a PWM signal.

[0105] In some embodiments, the valve control main control board receives the instruction and modulation wave sent by the master control chassis through one-way optical input. The valve control main control board sends the received master control instruction to all valve control slave control boards through the optical head interface board for optical head synchronous forwarding. The valve control main control board also receives the instruction status responses of all valve control slave control boards through the receiving optical head of the optical head interface board, and after summarizing and analyzing, reports back to the master through one-way optical output.

[0106] It should be noted that the method of "generating a triangular carrier wave" involved in the embodiments of the present invention is well-known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, its specific implementation method will not be described in detail. A triangular carrier wave is a periodic signal, and its amplitude changes linearly within one period. A counter is used to generate the triangular carrier wave. The counting clock and amplitude of the triangular carrier wave should be set according to the switching frequency of the IGBT series valve, and it increases (or decreases) in each clock cycle. When the counter reaches a set maximum or minimum amplitude, the counting direction is changed, and thus a triangular carrier wave signal can be obtained.

[0107] Further, the valve control slave control board is specifically used for:

[0108] Perform dead-time processing on the PWM signal to obtain the processed PWM signal;

[0109] Send the processed PWM signal to the sub-unit controller, so that the sub-unit controller controls the operation of the IGBT series valve according to the processed PWM signal.

[0110] In the present invention, the valve control master control board modulates the PWM signals of different phases or different three-phase bridges according to the actual topology. After the generated PWM signals are processed by pulse width, the PWM signals are synchronously sent to the valve control slave control board through the optical head interface board ST optical head. Using a single controller for modulation ensures the synchronization of modulation. The valve control slave control board does not perform modulation internally. After receiving the PWM signal from the valve control master control board, it performs pulse width and dead-time processing internally, and then distributes it to the IGBT series valves of the corresponding phases in a pulse manner to ensure the synchronous control of the IGBTs in the same string and meet the requirement of fast voltage equalization.

[0111] Further, the valve control slave control board is also used for, after receiving the fault information of the IGBT series valve reported by the sub-unit controller, sending the fault information to the valve control master control board and other valve control slave control boards respectively, so that all valve control slave control boards perform synchronous lockout tripping; and after performing synchronous lockout tripping, feeding back the information indicating the completion of synchronous lockout tripping to the valve control master control board;

[0112] The valve control master control board is also used for, when receiving the fault information and the information indicating the completion of synchronous lockout tripping, sending the fault information and the information indicating the completion of synchronous lockout tripping to the main control chassis.

[0113] It should be noted that the valve control slave control board can detect the status of all received optical fibers and packet faults. The valve control slave control board can analyze the fault information reported by the sub-unit controller. After all valve control slave control boards detect a fault, they can perform synchronous lockout tripping. All valve control slave control boards are connected in series through a pair of optical fibers to form a fault lockout bus, and the fault is quickly responded to in a pulse manner to ensure the synchronization of lockout at the fault moment and prevent the IGBT series valve from being damaged due to high voltage.

[0114] In the present invention, a PWM signal is generated by a valve base controller and directly sent to a lower-level subunit controller through an optical port, without adopting the traditional protocol mode. The use of direct PWM avoids communication jitter and ensures control accuracy. The use of optical fiber transmission also avoids the problem that long lines are easily interfered. The lower-level subunit controller is responsible for converting the received PWM optical signal into an electrical signal to directly trigger the IGBT. At the same time, the subunit controller can also detect IGBT module faults in real time and quickly report them to the valve base controller in a pulse manner to achieve fast locking and tripping of faults.

[0115] To further illustrate the above high-synchronization control device for IGBT series valve drive signals, the present invention provides a specific example, such as Figure 3 As shown, taking a three-phase bridge with 21 IGBT devices as a series valve as an example, each half-bridge of the three-phase bridge has a series of series valves, and there are a total of 6 series valves in the three-phase bridge, that is, 126 IGBT devices. Each IGBT requires 1 trigger signal. The valve base controller needs to synchronously control 126 IGBTs, and each valve base control chassis can control 42 IGBT devices. A total of 1 main control chassis, 1 main valve base control chassis, and 3 slave valve base control chassis need to be configured, which are respectively named the main control chassis, the main valve base control chassis, the A-phase slave valve base control chassis, the B-phase slave valve base control chassis, and the C-phase slave valve base control chassis. The main control chassis issues the modulation wave, the main valve base control chassis is responsible for modulation and data forwarding, and the slave valve base control chassis synchronously controls the IGBTs of the ABC three-phase bridge arms respectively.

[0116] The main valve base control chassis uses 4 pairs of optical fibers as data communication channels. Among them, 1 pair of optical fibers communicates with the main control chassis, the second pair of optical fibers communicates with the A-phase slave valve base control chassis for data, the third pair of optical fibers communicates with the B-phase slave valve base control chassis for data, and the fourth pair of optical fibers communicates with the C-phase slave valve base control chassis for data.

[0117] The main valve base control chassis uses 3 pairs of optical fibers as PWM issuing channels, which are respectively connected to 3 slave valve base control chassis. The PWM signal issues 3-phase PWM signals in a pulse manner, that is, the main valve base control chassis and the slave valve base control chassis achieve function expansion through a pulse manner. The slave valve base control chassis, as the receiving end, adopts an edge handshake mechanism to respond, and responds with a handshake pulse signal at the edge of each PWM signal pulse to ensure the reliability and real-time performance of the transmission.

[0118] Such as Figure 4As shown in the figure, the upper and lower bridge arms of phase A of the two IGBT series valves are controlled by the valve base control chassis for phase A. The upper and lower bridge arms of phase B of the two IGBT series valves are controlled by the valve base control chassis for phase B. The upper and lower bridge arms of phase C of the two IGBT series valves are controlled by the valve base control chassis for phase C. Among them, Q1 is the 21 IGBT series valves of the upper bridge arm of phase A, Q4 is the 21 IGBT series valves of the lower bridge arm of phase A, Q3 is the 21 IGBT series valves of the upper bridge arm of phase B, Q6 is the 21 IGBT series valves of the lower bridge arm of phase B, Q5 is the 21 IGBT series valves of the upper bridge arm of phase C, Q2 is the 21 IGBT series valves of the lower bridge arm of phase C, and C1 is the DC capacitor.

[0119] The fault channel bus is realized by the chassis series connection method. The main valve base control chassis is connected to the valve base control chassis for phase A through a pair of optical fibers. The valve base control chassis for phase A is connected to the valve base control chassis for phase B through a pair of optical fibers. The valve base control chassis for phase B is connected to the valve base control chassis for phase C through a pair of optical fibers, forming a series fault channel bus. The internal fault code is designed through the pulse protocol to realize the synchronous locking and tripping of all slave valve base control chassis.

[0120] In the example provided above, the control processing flow of the valve base control chassis is as Figure 5 shown, including the following steps:

[0121] Step 21: After all valve base control chassis and the main control chassis are powered on, the main control chassis issues a reset command to check whether all communication optical fibers are normal;

[0122] Step 22: The main valve base control chassis generates a triangular carrier wave and modulates it with the three-phase modulation wave issued by the main control chassis. The generated PWM signal is processed for pulse width to ensure that there is no narrow pulse width less than the dead time. The main valve base controller does not issue a PWM signal in the non-unlocked state;

[0123] Step 23: The slave valve base control chassis detects the power-on status of all series valves to ensure that all series valves are powered on normally and have the unlocking condition;

[0124] Step 24: Ensure that the device is fault-free and in the ready state, and issue an unlocking command through the main control chassis;

[0125] Step 25: After receiving the unlocking command from the main control chassis, the main valve base control chassis synchronously forwards the command to all slave valve base control chassis through the optical head interface board and starts to issue a PWM signal;

[0126] Step 26: After receiving the PWM signal, the slave valve base control chassis responds with a handshake signal to the main valve base control chassis. The slave valve base control chassis internally performs dead time processing on the received PWM signal and distributes the PWM signal to all output pins, and starts to issue a PWM signal after receiving the unlocking command;

[0127] Step 27: After unlocking, detect the fault information reported by the sub-unit controller of the valve base control chassis in real time. When fault information is received from any valve base control chassis, directly lock it and send the fault code to the fault bus channel;

[0128] Step 28: All valve base control chassis can receive the fault code and immediately respond to lock when the fault code is received;

[0129] Step 29: After locking, all valve base control chassis will no longer send PWM signals and wait for the fault to be eliminated before resetting and unlocking again.

[0130] A high-synchronization control device for IGBT series valve drive signals provided by the present invention, by adopting a master-slave chassis architecture, the modulation can ensure the synchronization of modulation within one chassis; by using the slave valve base control chassis to distribute IGBT trigger signals, it can flexibly meet the IGBT series valve scenarios with different requirements and ensure the consistency of triggering of different IGBT devices; through the fault channel bus method, all valve base controllers can be synchronously locked quickly to ensure the safety of the devices; by using the valve base control chassis pulse method to directly send PWM signals, it realizes the fast response of the devices and can also increase the switching frequency; the master valve base control chassis and the slave valve base control chassis adopt a pulse edge handshake mechanism to detect the channel state in real time to ensure the reliable transmission of PWM signals; the valve base control chassis of the present invention adopts a backplane communication method, which realizes the flexible configuration of the output port by the control board through the backplane and the plug-in card of the optical head interface board, and the shape of the valve base controller can be more standardized; the valve base control adopts a multi-chassis architecture to meet the synchronous control requirements of different topological structures. Through experiments, it is proved that the valve base control architecture of the present invention realizes that the on-off synchronization delay error of IGBT devices in the IGBT series valve is less than 1 us.

[0135] Step 13: When the valve control slave control board receives the PWM signal, send a handshake signal to the valve control main control board;

[0136] Step 14: After receiving the handshake signal replied by the valve control slave control board, the valve control master control board sends an unlocking instruction to the valve control slave control board, so that after receiving the unlocking instruction, the valve control slave control board controls the IGBT series valve to act according to the PWM signal through the control sub-unit controller.

[0137] Further, the method further includes: Step 10:

[0139] After the valve control slave control board receives the reset instruction, the valve control slave control board is used to detect the power-on state of its corresponding IGBT series valve and feedback the power-on state of the IGBT series valve to the valve control master control board, so that the valve control master control board feeds back the power-on state of the IGBT series valve to the main control chassis;

[0140] After the main control chassis receives the power-on states of all IGBT series valves, if all IGBT series valves are powered on, the main control chassis is used to send an unlocking instruction and a modulation wave to the valve control master control board; if all IGBT series valves are not all powered on, the main control chassis issues a fault alarm.

[0141] Further, Step 12 includes:

[0142] Step 121: Modulate the modulation wave with a pre-generated triangular carrier wave to obtain an initial signal;

[0143] Step 122: Perform pulse width processing and dead zone processing on the initial signal to obtain a PWM signal.
