[0001] Description
[0002] Electrical power transmission arrangement and coupling of two asynchronous three-phase systems
[0003] The invention relates to an electrical energy transmission arrangement and a method for coupling two asynchronous three-phase systems.
[0004] Asynchronous three-phase systems can be coupled, for example, with a so-called back-to-back converter or a matrix converter.
[0005] A back-to-back converter has two converters with a common DC link, where the DC link voltage can be a DC voltage or a high-frequency AC voltage. A problem with back-to-back converters is their low current-carrying capacity, which is why this design only works with transformers on both sides of the converters. At low frequencies, this results in very large and expensive transformers on one of the AC sides.
[0006] While a matrix converter is capable of delivering high currents, it requires a very complex and therefore error-prone control system. If parallel converter branches are used to increase the current-carrying capacity of a matrix converter, the signal interfaces of the available control units for modular multi-level converters are often insufficient to operate the matrix converter.
[0007] Furthermore, it is possible to use submodules with higher current-carrying capacity. However, their development is very lengthy and costly.
[0008] The invention is based on the objective of coupling two asynchronous three-phase systems by means of a converter arrangement that has a high current-carrying capacity and is built from available modules and control units.
[0009] The problem is solved according to the invention by an electrical energy transmission arrangement with the features of claim 1 and a method with the features of claim 10.
[0010] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
[0011] An electrical energy transmission arrangement according to the invention comprises
[0012] - a converter configured to generate a second three-phase alternating voltage with an adjustable frequency from a first three-phase alternating voltage, and comprising three converter units, each comprising a three-phase coupling transformer and a modular multilevel converter, wherein
[0013] - the multilevel converter of each converter unit is connected on the input side via the three-phase coupling transformer of the converter unit to the three phases of the first three-phase AC voltage, has two output terminals on the output side and is configured to generate a single-phase AC voltage between the output terminals, and
[0014] - the output terminals of the three multilevel converters are interconnected to the output-side phase terminals of the converter for the three phases of the second three-phase alternating voltage.
[0015] An electrical power transmission arrangement according to the invention thus comprises a converter with three converter units, each of which has a three-phase coupling transformer and a modular multilevel converter and is interconnected on the output side, in particular in a star or delta connection (see below), to generate the output three-phase AC voltage. Surprisingly, it has been found that this connection of the converter units exhibits a very high rated current on the output side and thus a high current-carrying capacity. Furthermore, the modular multilevel converters can each be implemented with modules and control units that have already been developed and tested. The connection of the three converter units according to the invention also avoids problematic parallel connections of converter branches as in matrix converters.
[0016] One design of the electrical power transmission arrangement further includes
[0017] - a first current measuring unit, which is set up to measure phase currents of the first three-phase alternating voltage,
[0018] - a second current measuring unit, which is set up to measure phase currents of the second three-phase alternating voltage,
[0019] - a first voltage measuring unit, which is set up to measure phase voltages of the first three-phase alternating voltage relative to a reference potential,
[0020] - a second voltage measuring unit, which is set up to measure phase voltages of the second three-phase alternating voltage relative to the reference potential,
[0021] - a converter control unit that is configured to generate control signals for controlling the converter depending on setpoints for the second three-phase AC voltage and on measured values from the two current measuring units and the two voltage measuring units, and
[0022] - for each converter unit, a separate control unit which is configured to control the multilevel converter of the converter unit depending on the control signals of the converter control unit.
[0023] Controlling a converter or multilevel converter refers to providing control signals for the converter's semiconductor switches. The control signals from the converter's control unit provide specifications for the individual converter units, which are then implemented by the individual control units to control the respective converter unit. In a further configuration of the electrical power transmission arrangement, the first output terminal of each multilevel converter forms a phase connection for one phase of the second three-phase AC voltage, and the second output terminals of the multilevel converters are connected in a star configuration. The neutral point of the star connection of the second output terminals of the multilevel converters can be connected to ground potential.In this configuration of the inverter, the second output terminals of the multilevel inverter are connected in a star configuration on the output side. This makes it possible, in particular, to connect the neutral point of the star configuration to a defined earth potential.
[0024] In an alternative configuration of the electrical power transmission arrangement to the aforementioned design, each output terminal of each multilevel converter is connected to exactly one output terminal of another multilevel converter. The interconnected output terminals form a phase connection for one phase of the second three-phase AC voltage. In this converter configuration, the multilevel converters are thus connected in a delta (triangular) connection on the output side. Compared to the star connection of the second output terminals of the multilevel converters, this allows for higher output currents from the converter.
[0025] In a further embodiment of the electrical power transmission arrangement, the multilevel converter of each converter unit comprises six converter modules. The converter modules are connected on the input side to the secondary windings of the three-phase coupling transformer of the converter unit such that each converter module is connected to exactly one secondary winding and each secondary winding is connected to exactly two converter modules. Furthermore, three converter modules, which are connected on the input side to different secondary windings of the three-phase coupling transformer, are connected to each other in a first star connection on the output side, and the other three converter modules are connected to each other in a second star connection on the output side. The star points of these two star connections each form one of the output terminals of the multilevel converter.
[0026] In a further embodiment of the electrical power transmission arrangement, each converter module comprises several independently controllable submodules and a coupling inductor connected in series. For example, each submodule comprises a power module, a capacitor module, a first submodule terminal, and a second submodule terminal. The power module has a full bridge with four semiconductor switches connected between the poles of an intermediate circuit voltage. The capacitor module has a capacitor connected between the poles of the intermediate circuit voltage and a voltage measuring device connected in parallel to the capacitor. The first submodule terminal is connected to a center tap of a first half-bridge of the full bridge, and the second submodule terminal is connected to a center tap of the second half-bridge of the full bridge. The semiconductor switches are, for example, each an IGBT, IGCT, IEGT, or MOSFET.IGBT is the abbreviation for Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor, IGCT is the abbreviation for Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor, IEGT is the abbreviation for Injection-Enhanced Gate Transistor, and MOSFET is the abbreviation for Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor.
[0027] The modular design of the inverter modules, with multiple submodules connected in series, allows the AC voltage generated by a single inverter module to be flexibly adapted to specific requirements. This is achieved by adjusting the number of activated submodules within each inverter module, as the AC voltages generated by these submodules add up to the AC voltage generated by the inverter module itself. The submodules are of a standard design, allowing the use of readily available, commercially available components.
[0028] In the method according to the invention, two asynchronous three-phase systems are coupled by an electrical power transmission arrangement according to the invention. The converter of the electrical power transmission arrangement is connected on the input side to the three phases of a first three-phase system and on the output side to the three phases of the second three-phase system.
[0029] Since the method according to the invention uses an electrical power transmission arrangement according to the invention, the advantages of the method correspond to the advantages of the electrical power transmission arrangement according to the invention mentioned above.

In this embodiment of the method according to the invention, the electrical power transmission arrangement enables the transfer of power between the two power supply networks. The line-connection transformer serves to provide galvanic isolation between the second power supply network and the converter of the electrical power transmission arrangement.
[0031] In another embodiment of the method according to the invention, the first three-phase system is a three-phase electrical power supply network, and the second three-phase system is a three-phase rotor winding of a rotor of a doubly fed asynchronous machine. In this embodiment of the method according to the invention, the electrical power transmission arrangement is used to operate the doubly fed asynchronous machine. Due to the very high output current carrying capacity of the converter of the electrical power transmission arrangement, the doubly fed asynchronous machine can be operated like a synchronous machine in the event of a three-phase network fault; that is, the voltage at the rotor circuit of the doubly fed asynchronous machine can be set to zero in order to provide a high short-circuit current for network protection.
[0032] In another embodiment of the method according to the invention, the first three-phase system is a three-phase electrical power supply network and the second three-phase system is a synchronous machine. In this embodiment of the method according to the invention, the electrical power transmission arrangement enables the synchronous machine to be operated at an adjustable speed.
