Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of high-voltage frequency converter multi-machine parallel drive system for driving motor, in particular to a kind of high-voltage frequency converter redundancy control drive system based on multi-machine parallel structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of industrial technology, the application occasions of motor speed regulation or torque and position control using frequency converters are more and more widely. The motor power in some application scenarios is very large, and as a kind of power electronic device, it is difficult to achieve high power due to factors such as power devices, heat dissipation technology, manufacturing process and production cost. Therefore, people consider using parallel connection of frequency converters to increase the overall output power of the frequency converter system.
[0003] Due to the parallel output of the frequency converter, the output waveforms of multiple frequency converters need to be coordinated and synchronized to ensure balanced output current and suppress circulating current, which will lead to a complex control system. In traditional frequency converter drive systems, there are master-slave control, hierarchical control, central control and other parallel control methods for frequency converters. Currently, there are patents such as CN 104167907A and CN 113676069A that propose frequency converter parallel topology and its control method to achieve high-power parallel output and improve circulating current. However, regardless of which control method is used, it will increase the size of the drive system, increase the number of nodes in the drive system, and any single node failure in the drive system will make the entire parallel frequency converter drive system unusable, thereby greatly reducing the reliability of the parallel frequency converter drive system. Even if the main control system in the frequency converter drive system is designed with redundancy control, it still cannot guarantee the operational reliability of each system node in the high-voltage frequency converter multi-machine parallel structure.
[0004] CN117013921A proposes a frequency converter redundancy control system for parallel driving of frequency converters. It configures two frequency converters as master-slave, and each frequency converter includes its own main and backup controllers. This method can achieve redundancy of the control system of each of the two frequency converters and redundancy backup of the two frequency converters. It uses two sets of frequency converters to improve the reliability of the system, but its parallel operation condition is that the frequency converter power unit fails and the output of a single frequency converter is limited. It is not a normal operating condition, and its two frequency converters each output 50% of the rated power. The essence is that the two frequency converters are backup for each other, and they cannot achieve multi-machine parallel to increase the output power to drive the motor together. Moreover, since this method is based on master-slave backup, it needs time for fault switching and cannot achieve disturbance-free switching. At the same time, this method can only be applied to the case of 2 frequency converters as master-slave backup, and cannot be applied to the case of 3 or more frequency converters in parallel output.
[0005] CN 211127643U proposes a high-voltage frequency converter double control machine redundancy topology structure, which improves the reliability of single high-voltage frequency converter control system through control system redundancy, but since multiple frequency converters are connected in parallel, the control systems of each frequency converter need to be in synchronous working mode and need to communicate with each other for coordination. If multiple frequency converters have double control and redundancy topology structure, the synchronous communication interaction link of each control machine will increase in factorial form, and it will be a very difficult challenge to make the parallel system after parallel still have redundancy function. Therefore, the method cannot be applied to the occasion of multiple frequency converters in parallel through simple modification. Content of the utility model

The redundancy control driving system of the utility model carries out high-voltage frequency converter multiple machine parallel connection, can effectively improve the reliability of entire motor driving system, when single node fault in driving system, the spare redundancy control system component can replace the control component of fault and put into operation, and since the control system of entire system has no distinction between master and slave, so switching process theoretically does not need time, and can realize undisturbed switching. The entire frequency converter parallel driving system can keep normal operation and is not affected by fault, effectively guarantees the stable operation of motor.
