Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1The application provides a control method for a low-harmonic frequency conversion power supply of a rail locomotive air conditioner, and aims to realize the above object by the following technical scheme.

[0021] S6, a corresponding control strategy is selected and executed based on the start risk level, and a start frequency of the locomotive air conditioner in a second time period is dynamically adjusted based on the control strategy.

[0022] In the embodiment, the sensor group is installed on the rail locomotive, and the Sub-GHz industrial wireless transmission protocol is combined to realize real-time collection and transmission of key load parameters in the whole cold start process. Then, the control center receives the data, and the data is preprocessed by the STM32 embedded module to obtain the standard cold start data set. On this basis, the cold start load indexes are calculated by the load evaluation function, and the cold start load indexes are compared with the set cold start threshold to judge whether the cold start load is abnormal.

[0023] If the abnormal condition is evaluated, further extract real-time THD, current and voltage fluctuation rate and other characteristics, calculate the harmonic trend index, and combine the cold start load index, harmonic trend index and frequency output function to build a comprehensive execution risk index, and according to the index grade division, trigger the corresponding three-level slow start control strategy, accurately control the start path and harmonic suppression strategy, and ensure that the air conditioner can still start smoothly and run with low interference in extremely cold or complex conditions. Through the above implementation, the present application not only realizes the joint identification of the cold start load and harmonic disturbance state, but also breaks through the whole process link from perception, evaluation, modeling and control strategy generation, improves the environmental adaptability and forward control ability of different cold start conditions; through harmonic trend driven control path reconstruction, the harmonic peak value is effectively reduced by more than 40%, and the stability is improved. Through multi-index fusion risk assessment and hierarchical response.

[0024] S2 includes S21 and S22; S21, by installing a sensor group at the key nodes of the rail locomotive, real-time acquisition of cold start load data; The key nodes include the outer wall of the rail locomotive, the condenser, the refrigerant circuit and the air conditioner frequency converter. The sensor group includes a temperature sensor, a refrigerant pressure sensor, a Hall current sensor, a voltage sensor and a condenser temperature probe. The cold start load data includes the vehicle external environment temperature, the refrigerant low pressure side initial pressure, the condenser surface temperature, the initial current peak value, the frequency converter current and the frequency converter voltage.

S22, a control center is built in the control server of the rail locomotive, and a short-distance industrial-grade wireless sensor network Sub-Ghz is set up. The wireless module of the sensor group is interconnected with the air conditioner control center of the rail locomotive, and the data upload frequency is set to 10 seconds per data packet. The real-time collected cold start load data is transmitted to the air conditioner control center.

[0026] In this embodiment, the method is used to collect the cold start load data of the air conditioner in the cold start stage by arranging sensor groups at key nodes such as the outer wall of the rail locomotive, the condenser, the refrigerant circuit and the air conditioner frequency converter. In the control center built on the basis of the rail locomotive control server platform, a short-distance industrial-grade wireless sensor network with Sub-GHz as the core is established. The various sensor modules with wireless communication capability are connected to the air conditioner control center at high speed and low interference. The data upload frequency is set to one data packet every 10 seconds to realize stable and real-time return of the cold start load data. Through the above specific implementation, the collection accuracy and update frequency of the pre-cold start working condition parameters are greatly improved, and a low-power, high-robustness and wiring-free wireless sensing network architecture is successfully built. The technical purpose is to provide a high-consistency, high-integrity and high-real-time data basis for subsequent cold start load level identification, harmonic trend evaluation and frequency control strategy selection, and to avoid control errors and instability caused by parameter collection lag, complex wiring or insufficient sampling resolution.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the control center receives the cold start load data in real time, the cold start load data is preprocessed, including data cleaning, filtering processing and standardization processing to obtain a standard cold start data set. Data cleaning is used to clean the cold start load data by using upper and lower threshold exclusion and change rate exclusion to remove obviously erroneous, jumping and physically unreasonable data values. Filtering processing is used to filter the cold start load data by using sliding average filtering to remove random jitter and small fluctuations and retain trend characteristics. Standardization processing is used to standardize the cold start load data after data cleaning and filtering processing by using Z-score standardization processing to eliminate the dimensional influence between all parameters in the cold start load data. Step S3 includes S31 and S32. S31, a cold start load algorithm model is constructed. The real-time standard cold start data set before the cold start of the rail train is extracted and input into the cold start load algorithm model for calculation to output a cold start load index Lload, which quantifies the load index of the air conditioner compressor in the cold start stage under the current working condition. The cold start load index Lload is calculated and output by the following load algorithm model: ; In the formula, log represents the logarithmic function, A small constant is represented to prevent the instability caused by zero division error or extremely small number in the formula, n1 represents the environmental impact coefficient, which is used to control the degree of dominance of temperature factors in the model, n2 represents the electrical impact factor weight, which is used to control the proportion of initial current jump in the overall load level judgment, n3 represents the thermal state reaction coefficient, which adjusts the action weight of the initial pressure Pref of the low-pressure side of the refrigerant and the condenser surface temperature Tcond; A nonlinear weight factor of environmental temperature is represented to avoid unreasonable calculation logic caused by negative temperature in the formula, and the absolute value is taken to measure the deviation from the warm environment, and the index is a nonlinear amplification factor; The electrical load is represented, and the greater the starting current peak value is, the greater the rotating resistance is; The thermal load is represented, and the lower the refrigerant pressure is and the colder the condenser is, the more serious the cold state is, and the higher the load is; The physical meaning of the formula is to integrate the three factors of cold-state thermal, electrical and environmental into a unified load level evaluation function, directly quantify the cold start complexity through the mathematical model, and drive the subsequent control logic to adapt dynamically.

[0028] S32, set the cold start threshold F1 based on the user's setting of the upper limit value of the cold start load of the rail locomotive air conditioner compressor, judge the load situation under the cold start condition of the rail train, and the specific evaluation content is as follows; When the cold start load index Lload is less than the cold start threshold F1, it indicates that the cold start load is normal, and the rail locomotive air conditioner is started normally at this time; When the cold start load index Lload is greater than or equal to the cold start threshold F1, it indicates that the cold start load is abnormal, and the frequency ladder reconstruction mechanism driven by the harmonic trend is triggered at this time.

[0029] In this embodiment, the method constructs a cold start load algorithm model, before the cold start of the rail train, calls the standard cold start data set matched with the current working condition in the database, inputs into the cold start load algorithm model for calculation, and outputs the cold start load index Lload. The load index is obtained by calculating the algorithm model composed of parameters such as environmental temperature, initial current peak change, initial refrigerant pressure and condenser surface temperature. And the user can set a cold start load upper limit value as the cold start threshold F1 according to the performance requirements of the air conditioner compressor carried. Then the actual calculated load index Lload is compared with the threshold in real time. Through the above implementation, the rail vehicle air conditioner control has the ability to evaluate the complex load condition in real time in the cold start stage, realizes the closed loop logical link from "perception, modeling and discrimination" to "control trigger". This way can identify the cold start risk brought by high load, high resistance or extremely cold environment in time before starting, avoid the current impact, control jump or harmonic burst caused by blind start, so as to significantly improve the starting safety, intelligent adaptability and control accuracy of rail vehicle air conditioner in multiple working conditions.

[0030] The harmonic trend data of the embodiment includes total harmonic distortion rate, frequency converter current fluctuation rate and frequency converter voltage fluctuation rate, the harmonic trend index is calculated based on the harmonic trend data, the frequency output function is calculated based on the obtained harmonic trend index, and the comprehensive execution risk value is calculated based on the cold start load index, the harmonic trend index and the frequency output function.

[0031] Specifically, in the determination of the cold start load abnormality, the standard cold start data set acquired in real time is extracted, feature extraction is performed, and harmonic trend data is acquired; the harmonic trend data includes total harmonic distortion rate THD, frequency converter current fluctuation rate and frequency converter voltage fluctuation rate ; wherein the total harmonic distortion rate THD is obtained by calculating the ratio of the energy between the high harmonic component and the fundamental wave in the frequency converter voltage V, d represents the differential variable, dt represents the time differential variable, dI represents the differential variable of the current frequency converter current fluctuation rate, and dV represents the differential variable of the frequency converter voltage fluctuation rate; then the harmonic trend index Htrend is calculated based on the harmonic trend data, the extreme harmonic fluctuation risk of the current rail vehicle in the cold start is analyzed, and the harmonic trend index Htrend is calculated and output by the following algorithm formula: ; In the formula, THD(t) represents the total harmonic distortion rate at time t, dI(t) represents the differential variable of the current frequency converter current fluctuation rate at time t, dV(t) represents the differential variable of the frequency converter voltage fluctuation rate at time t, a1, a2 and a3 respectively represent the frequency converter current fluctuation rate , the frequency converter voltage fluctuation rate and the preset weight value of the total harmonic distortion rate THD, the specific value of which is set by the user, and a1+a2+a3=1. Finally, based on the obtained harmonic trend index Htrend, the frequency output function Fstep is calculated and output, and the target value of the output frequency of the frequency converter in the current cold start process is dynamically generated, which is calculated by the following algorithm formula: ; In the formula, Fstep(t) represents the frequency output function at time t, f0 represents the initial frequency, which is dimensionless, J represents the total number of frequency steps, e represents the exponential function, represents the jump amplitude of the jth frequency step, which is set by the controller, and the larger the value, the faster the frequency rises, represents the risk sensitivity of the jth frequency stage, which is used to control the influence degree of the harmonic trend index Htrend, t j represents the starting time of the jth frequency stage, t j+1 represents the end time of the jth frequency stage, represents the time window at time t.

[0032] In this embodiment, the method dynamically predicts the power quality disturbance risk in the cold start process through the harmonic trend modeling mechanism, and reconstructs the frequency converter output frequency control path in real time based on the prediction result, thereby realizing a soft start control strategy with adaptability. In the preliminary comparative evaluation, when the cold start load is abnormal, the frequency step reconstruction mechanism driven by the harmonic trend is triggered, and the current real-time collected standard cold start data set is extracted for feature extraction to obtain the harmonic trend data. The harmonic trend data includes three key parameters: first, the total harmonic distortion rate THD, which is obtained by calculating the ratio of the high harmonic component in the frequency converter voltage signal to the fundamental energy; second, the frequency converter current fluctuation rate, which is represented by the first derivative of the current with respect to time; and third, the frequency converter voltage fluctuation rate. These parameters can comprehensively reflect the power disturbance trend and fluctuation intensity currently experienced in the cold start process.

[0033] Based on the above three characteristic data, the harmonic trend index Htrend is constructed to quantify the risk level of the harmonic disturbance in the current cold start process. The trend index is calculated by the following function: based on the harmonic trend index Htrend calculated at the current time, the frequency output function Fstep is constructed to dynamically control the target value of the output frequency of the frequency converter. Through the complete implementation, not only does it have the ability to accurately model and predict the harmonic disturbance trend in the cold start process, but it can also actively reconstruct the frequency step according to the power quality risk and dynamically adjust the output frequency rise speed and node setting, thereby effectively suppressing the sudden growth of high harmonics and reducing the current jump phenomenon caused by frequency mutation.

[0034] In the calculation of the comprehensive execution risk value, based on the cold start load index Lload, the harmonic trend index Htrend and the frequency output function Fstep, the output comprehensive execution risk value Cexec is calculated by summarizing calculation, and the linkage risk of harmonic explosion, load impact and control climb loss of control in the cold start stage of the track is comprehensively analyzed. The comprehensive execution risk value Cexec is calculated by the following algorithm formula.

[0035] ; In the formula, Htrend(t) represents the upper limit value of the harmonic trend index at time t, dFstep(t) represents the frequency output function fluctuation rate at time t, i.e. the current frequency climb speed, b1, b2 and b3 represent the preset weight values of the cold start load index Lload, the harmonic trend index Htrend and the frequency output function Fstep respectively, the specific numerical values of which are set by the user, and b1+b2+b3=1, dFstep(t) represents the frequency output function differential variable at time t.

[0036] The start-up risk level includes a first level, a second level and a third level, the first level executes an A-level control strategy, the second level executes a B-level control strategy, and the third level executes a C-level control strategy.

[0037] The A-level control strategy is a 3-step frequency slow start, each step stays for 8 seconds, the B-level control strategy is a 5-step frequency slow start, each step stays for 10 seconds, and an active suppression mechanism is started, when the harmonic growth rate exceeds 20%, the start-up frequency stay time is locked, and the total harmonic distortion rate over-limit threshold is set to 18%, and the C-level control strategy is a 5-step frequency slow start, each step stays for 15 seconds, and when the total harmonic distortion rate is monitored to exceed 22%, the frequency output is immediately frozen.

[0038] As shown in Figure 2 When the comprehensive execution risk value Cexec is less than 4.0, the current cold start risk is divided into a first level risk, and the A-level control strategy is executed; when 4.0≤the comprehensive execution risk value Cexec is less than 7.5, the current cold start risk is divided into a second level risk, and the B-level control strategy is executed; when the comprehensive execution risk value Cexec is greater than or equal to 7.5, the current cold start risk is divided into a third level risk, and the C-level control strategy is executed.

[0039] The A-level control strategy is to start 3-stage slow start, for example, 3-stage slow start is to control the cold start frequency path to be 15 Hz, 30 Hz and 45 Hz, and to gradually advance, each stage stays for 8 seconds; the B-level control strategy is to start 5-stage slow start, for example, 5-stage slow start is to control the cold start frequency path to be 12 Hz, 25 Hz, 36 Hz, 45 Hz and 50 Hz, and to gradually advance, each stage stays for 10 seconds, and a positive inhibition mechanism is started, when the harmonic growth rate exceeds 20%, the cold start frequency stay delay is automatically locked, and the total harmonic distortion rate THD over-limit threshold is set to 18%; the C-level control strategy is to start 7-stage slow start, for example, 7-stage slow start is to control the cold start frequency path to be 10 Hz, 15 Hz, 20 Hz, 28 Hz, 34 Hz, 42 Hz and 50 Hz, and to gradually advance, each stage stays for 15 seconds, and the total harmonic distortion rate THD is monitored in real time, when the total harmonic distortion rate THD exceeds 22%, the frequency output is immediately frozen.

[0040] In the embodiment, the method performs comprehensive summary analysis by taking the cold start load index Lload, the harmonic trend index Htrend and the frequency output function Fstep calculated in the previous steps as input variables, and constructs a comprehensive execution risk value Cexec to reflect the linkage risk level jointly constituted by high load, high frequency climbing rate and strong harmonic disturbance in the cold start process.

[0041] The embodiment analyzes historical harmonic fault data to determine the harmonic sensitive section, including the following steps: The historical harmonic fault data includes the start frequency, the duration of each stage start frequency and the disturbance time point of the harmonic occurrence, a first sequence of each piece of historical harmonic fault data is generated based on the start frequency, the start frequency where the disturbance time point is located in the first sequence is located as a first frequency, the first occurrence probability of various numerical first frequencies in the historical harmonic fault data is counted, and the first frequency with the first occurrence probability greater than a first threshold is set as a second frequency.

[0042] The historical harmonic fault data is data caused by the occurrence of harmonics leading to system failure, which includes the start frequency of the air conditioner at each time point, and the first sequence generated according to the historical harmonic fault data is, for example, [15, 17, 19, 21], wherein the numerical value is the start frequency, and the unit is omitted for convenience of description. The disturbance time point corresponds to the frequency 19, and the frequency 19 is set as the first frequency. If 100 pieces of historical harmonic fault data are collected, the frequency 19 (the first frequency) appears 90 times, and the corresponding first occurrence probability is 90 / 100=0.9. The first threshold is set to 0.8 in the embodiment, and since 0.9 is greater than 0.8, the frequency 19 is set as the second frequency.

[0043] The first sequence in which the second frequencies exist is defined as a second sequence, the earliest occurrence time and the latest occurrence time of each second frequency are located, and the allowed delay of each second frequency is calculated based on the earliest occurrence time and the latest occurrence time.

[0044] Based on the above method, two or more second frequencies can exist in a first sequence. As in the example described above, both frequency 17 and frequency 19 are determined as second frequencies, and the first sequence is defined as a second sequence. The earliest occurrence time and the latest occurrence time of each second frequency in each second sequence are obtained, and the occurrence time is the position of the frequency in the first sequence. In combination with the first sequence described above, for frequency 17, the occurrence time is 2, and if there is a first sequence [13, 15, 17, 19, 21], the occurrence time is 3. Finally, in combination with all first sequences, the minimum and maximum values of the occurrence time of the frequencies are determined, and are respectively the earliest occurrence time and the latest occurrence time. Then, the allowed delay of each second frequency is calculated based on the earliest occurrence time and the latest occurrence time. The calculation process of the allowed delay is described below. The allowed delay is calculated by the following formula, . Wherein, is the allowed delay, is the latest occurrence time, is the earliest occurrence time, for example, for frequency A, the earliest occurrence time is 2, and the latest occurrence time is 6, then the allowed delay is 2. In particular, if the allowed delay is not an integer, rounding is performed.

[0045] Based on the second frequencies included in each second sequence, a plurality of frequency combinations are generated, the frequency combinations are time-aligned based on the allowed delay, and the total number of times each frequency combination is successfully aligned is counted.

[0046] Specifically, the frequency combinations with the same second frequencies are taken as the alignment target, and the two alignment targets for alignment are defined as the first combination and the second combination, the allowed delay of each second frequency in the first combination and the second combination is obtained, and the occurrence time period of the second frequency is obtained, the overlap value range is calculated according to the allowed delay, and if the occurrence time period of the second combination can be moved to be completely the same as the occurrence time period of the first combination in the overlap value range, it is determined that the alignment of the first combination and the second combination is successful.

[0047] For example, the second sequence 1 includes the second frequencies A and B, and the second sequence 2 includes the second frequencies A and B, the second sequence 1 and the second sequence 2 are taken as the alignment target, the second frequencies A and B in the second sequence 1 are taken as the first combination, and the second frequencies A and B in the second sequence 2 are taken as the second combination. The overlap value range is the smaller value of the allowed delay of the two second frequencies in the combination, and the calculated allowed delay of the second frequencies A and B is 1 and 2 respectively, so the overlap value range is 1. For another example, the calculated allowed delay of the second frequencies A and B is 3 and 5 respectively, so the overlap value range is 3. The alignment process is introduced below. For the second sequence 1, the occurrence time of the second frequencies A and B is 2 and 4 respectively, for the second sequence 2, the occurrence time of the second frequencies A and B is 3 and 5 respectively, the overlap value range is 1, so the occurrence time of the second frequencies A and B in the second sequence 2 is shifted to the left by one time unit, which can be the same as the occurrence time of the second frequencies A and B in the second sequence 1, so it is determined that the first combination and the second combination can be aligned.

[0048] The second occurrence probability of the frequency combination is calculated based on the total number of times, the frequency combination with the second occurrence probability greater than the second threshold value is defined as a high-frequency combination, the first frequency with the first occurrence probability greater than the second threshold value is taken as a harmonic sensitive section, and the high-frequency combination is verified, and the second frequency included in the high-frequency combination that passes the verification is taken as the harmonic sensitive section.

[0049] The verification of the alternative frequency and the high-frequency combination in the embodiment includes the following steps: The verification of the high-frequency combination in the embodiment includes the following steps: The historical harmonic fault data is divided into an analysis part and a verification part, the high-frequency combination is obtained based on the historical harmonic fault data in the analysis part, the number of occurrences of the high-frequency combination is obtained based on the verification part, and if the number of occurrences of the high-frequency combination is greater than a third threshold value, the verification passes.

[0050] 30 second sequences in which a certain frequency combination (including the second frequency A and the second frequency B) exists are aligned, and the total number of times is 30, the second occurrence probability is calculated according to the total number of times and the number of first sequences, and the second occurrence probability is 30 / 100=0.3. In the embodiment, the second threshold value is set to 0.9, after the second occurrence probability of each frequency combination is calculated, the first occurrence probability of the second frequency is compared with the second threshold value, the second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value, for example, the second threshold value is 0.9, the first frequency greater than the second threshold value is taken as a harmonic sensitive section, for example, the first occurrence probability of the frequency 17 is greater than the second threshold value, which indicates that the frequency 17 is prone to harmonic interference. For the high-frequency combination that passes the verification, it is indicated that the second frequency combination in the high-frequency combination appears at the same time, and there is a great probability of harmonic interference, so the second frequency included in the high-frequency combination is taken as the harmonic sensitive section.

[0051] The third threshold is determined according to the number of historical harmonic fault data included in the analysis part and the verification part. The present application divides the historical harmonic fault data into the analysis part and the verification part, determines the high-frequency combination in the analysis part, and verifies it through the verification part, thereby further ensuring the reliability of the analysis result.

[0052] The control strategy includes a plurality of start frequencies, and when the control strategy is determined, the start frequencies of the control strategy are not in the harmonic sensitive section.

[0053] The present application avoids these harmonic sensitive sections when formulating the control strategy by determining the harmonic sensitive sections in advance, which are sections where harmonics are prone to occur, thereby further reducing the risk of harmonic occurrence.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 3 The present application also provides a low-harmonic variable frequency power supply system for rail locomotive air conditioners, which is used for the above-mentioned low-harmonic variable frequency power supply control method for rail locomotive air conditioners, and the system comprises: The acquisition module is used to acquire historical harmonic fault data of the locomotive air conditioner, analyze the historical harmonic fault data to determine a harmonic sensitive section, determine a plurality of control strategies based on the harmonic sensitive section, and acquire cold start load data of the locomotive air conditioner in a first time period in real time after starting the locomotive air conditioner.

[0055] The processing module is used to preprocess the cold start load data and acquire a standard cold start data set.

[0056] The analysis module is used to extract a cold start load index in the standard cold start data set, perform a one-time comparison and evaluation on the cold start load index based on a pre-set cold start threshold, judge the cold start load condition of the locomotive air conditioner, extract harmonic trend data in the standard cold start data set when the cold start load is judged to be abnormal, calculate a harmonic trend index based on the harmonic trend data, calculate a frequency output function based on the harmonic trend index, calculate an output comprehensive execution risk value based on the cold start load index, the harmonic trend index and the frequency output function, and determine a start risk level based on the output comprehensive execution risk value.

[0057] The reconstruction module is used to select and execute a corresponding control strategy based on the start risk level, and dynamically adjust the start frequency of the locomotive air conditioner in a second time period based on the control strategy.

[0058] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application.
