Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ultra-high voltage direct current transmission technology, specifically relating to a triggering monitoring device and energy harvesting method for thyristor-level circuits in a DC energy discharge device. Background Technology

[0002] DC power dissipation devices are used in DC transmission systems and are configured on the DC bus. Their operation is controllable. When the DC bus voltage is too high, they receive an activation command to dissipate excess power from the DC bus and maintain the DC bus voltage. The DC power dissipation device includes a series-connected thyristor stage circuit, consisting of thyristors, damping capacitors, damping resistors, voltage-equalizing resistors, and a trigger monitoring unit. The trigger monitoring unit performs the functions of triggering and monitoring the thyristors. In applications such as UHVDC converter valves, the thyristor stage circuit is subjected to AC voltage; therefore, the trigger monitoring unit can extract energy from the thyristors through the damping branch.

[0003] In a DC energy dissipation device, the thyristor stage circuit is subjected to DC voltage and a small AC ripple voltage. Under certain operating conditions, this AC ripple voltage may drop to zero, making it impossible to obtain sufficient energy through the damping branch. Furthermore, the overvoltage protection circuit in the trigger monitoring unit requires rapid energy acquisition to quickly establish overvoltage protection and prevent thyristor breakdown during system charging. Simultaneously, the system requires a sufficiently large energy harvesting circuit to ensure the trigger monitoring unit can continue operating for as long as possible after the energy source is lost. Existing technologies focus on either rapid or high-capacity energy harvesting, failing to simultaneously meet both requirements and thus hindering the safe and stable operation of the trigger monitoring unit. Therefore, energy harvesting for the trigger monitoring unit is a major technical challenge. There is currently an urgent need for a hybrid energy harvesting system for the thyristor trigger monitoring unit in a DC energy dissipation device. Summary of the Invention

[0034] Compared with the closest existing technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] This invention provides a trigger monitoring device and energy harvesting method for a thyristor-stage circuit in a DC energy dissipation device. The thyristor-stage circuit consists of a thyristor 9, a voltage equalization resistor 12, a damping capacitor 11, a damping resistor 10, and a trigger monitoring device. The trigger monitoring device comprises: a fast energy harvesting circuit 1, a high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2, an overvoltage protection circuit 7, and a subsequent functional circuit 8.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] A schematic diagram of the trigger monitoring device for the thyristor stage circuit in the DC energy dissipation device provided by this invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the thyristor stage circuit consists of a thyristor 9, a voltage equalization resistor 12, a damping capacitor 11, a damping resistor 10, and a trigger monitoring device.

[0044] The trigger monitoring device includes:

[0045] Fast power harvesting circuit 1, high-capacity power harvesting circuit 2, overvoltage protection circuit 7, and subsequent functional circuit 8;

[0046] The fast power harvesting circuit 1 is connected to the high-capacity power harvesting circuit 2 and the overvoltage protection circuit 7, respectively.

[0047] The fast energy harvesting circuit 1 is connected to the anode of the thyristor 9 through a damping capacitor 11 and a damping resistor 10, and the fast energy harvesting circuit 1 is connected to the cathode of the thyristor 9.

[0048] The high-capacity power harvesting circuit 2 is connected to the subsequent functional circuit 8;

[0049] The high-capacity power extraction circuit 2 is connected to the anode of the thyristor 9 through the voltage equalization resistor 12, and the high-capacity power extraction circuit 2 is connected to the cathode of the thyristor 9.

[0050] The fast power extraction circuit 1 is used to extract energy during the charging process of the thyristor stage circuit and supply energy to the overvoltage protection circuit 7. It is also used to extract energy from the AC harmonics after the thyristor stage circuit is fully charged and there are AC harmonics at both ends of the thyristor 9, and supply energy to the high-capacity power extraction circuit 2 through the unidirectional current circuit 13.

[0051] The high-capacity power extraction circuit 2 is used to extract power from the two ends of the thyristor 9 using DC voltage and supply power to the subsequent functional circuit 8.

[0052] The DC energy dissipation device includes a series-connected thyristor stage circuit, such as... Figure 2As shown, the system consists of a thyristor 9, a damping capacitor 11, a damping resistor 10, a voltage equalizing resistor 12, and a trigger monitoring unit 16. The trigger monitoring unit 16 performs the triggering and monitoring functions for the thyristor 9. In applications such as UHVDC converter valves, the thyristor stage circuit is subjected to AC voltage, so the trigger monitoring unit 16 can extract energy from the thyristor 9 through the damping branch. However, in DC energy dissipation devices, the thyristor stage circuit is subjected to DC voltage and a small AC ripple voltage, and under certain operating conditions, this AC ripple voltage may drop to 0, thus making it impossible to obtain sufficient energy through the damping branch. Furthermore, the overvoltage protection circuit in the trigger monitoring unit 16 is required to quickly obtain energy to provide overvoltage protection as soon as possible, preventing the thyristor 9 from being overvoltage-damped during the entire system charging process. Simultaneously, the system requires a sufficiently large energy extraction circuit to ensure that the trigger monitoring unit 16 can continue to operate for as long as possible after the energy source is lost.

[0053] This invention proposes a hybrid energy harvesting method that can simultaneously obtain energy from the DC equalization branch, the damping branch, and the external thyristor stage circuit, thus meeting the application requirements of DC energy discharge devices.

[0054] The complete hybrid energy harvesting method includes three sets of energy harvesting circuits.

[0055] (1) The fast energy harvesting circuit 1 is characterized by its fast energy harvesting but small capacity. During the charging process of the thyristor stage circuit, it can quickly harvest enough energy to enable the overvoltage protection circuit 7 to enter the working state as soon as possible, preventing the thyristor 9 from overvoltage breakdown during the charging process. After entering the normal working mode, if there are AC harmonics at both ends of the thyristor 9, the fast energy harvesting circuit 1 can continue to harvest energy. This part of the energy will be provided to the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 through the unidirectional current circuit 13. The unidirectional current circuit 13 can prevent the energy of the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 from being fed back to the fast energy harvesting circuit 1.

[0056] The high-capacity power extraction circuit 2 includes: a power extraction branch, a high-capacity power supply, and an overvoltage bypass protection circuit;

[0057] The energy extraction branch is used to extract energy from the voltage across the thyristor 9 when the voltage across the thyristor 9 is not 0, to power the subsequent functional circuit 8 and to charge the high-capacity power supply.

[0058] The high-capacity power supply is used to store the acquired energy and releases the stored energy when the voltage across the thyristor 9 is 0, continuously supplying power to the subsequent functional circuit 8.

[0059] The overvoltage bypass protection circuit is used to bypass the energy extraction branch when the energy stored in the high-capacity power supply reaches a set value.

[0060] (2) The high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 is the core component of the hybrid energy harvesting method and is the main energy source to ensure the normal operation of the entire trigger monitoring unit 16. It adopts a DC voltage energy harvesting method, characterized by slow energy harvesting and large capacity. After the voltage across the thyristor 9 is 0, the stored energy can allow the trigger monitoring unit 16 to continue working for a period of time. The high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 has an overvoltage bypass function. When sufficient energy is obtained, it can automatically bypass the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit to prevent the output voltage from being too high and affecting the normal operation of the subsequent circuits.

[0061] The trigger monitoring device also includes: auxiliary circuit and laser energy harvesting circuit 3;

[0062] The auxiliary circuit is connected to the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 and the laser energy harvesting circuit 3, respectively.

[0063] The laser energy harvesting circuit 3 is connected to the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2;

[0064] The auxiliary circuit is used to monitor the energy state of the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 and to emit laser light to the laser energy harvesting circuit 3 according to the energy state of the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2.

[0065] The laser energy harvesting circuit 3 is used to convert laser light into electrical energy, and to supply the converted electrical energy to the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 through the unidirectional flow circuit 14.

[0066] The auxiliary circuit includes: a power monitoring circuit 4, a control device 5, and a laser power supply device 6;

[0067] The power monitoring circuit 4, the control device 5, and the laser power supply device 6 are connected in sequence.

[0068] The power monitoring circuit 4 is connected to the high-capacity power harvesting circuit 2;

[0069] The laser power supply device 6 is connected to the laser energy harvesting circuit 3 via optical fiber 15;

[0070] The power monitoring circuit 4 is used to monitor the energy of the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2, determine whether the energy harvested by the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 is greater than a set value, and send the determination result to the control device 5.

[0071] The control device 5 is used to start the laser power supply device 6 when the judgment result is negative, and is also used to turn off the laser power supply device 6 when the judgment result is positive.

[0072] The laser power supply device 6 is used to transmit laser light to the laser energy harvesting circuit 3 via optical fiber 15.

[0073] (3) The laser energy harvesting circuit 3 converts laser energy into electrical energy and supplies it to the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 through a one-way flow circuit 14. The one-way flow circuit 14 can prevent the energy from the high-capacity energy harvesting circuit 2 from being fed back to the laser energy harvesting circuit 3. The laser power supply device 6 located on the low-voltage side converts energy into electrical energy and sends it to the laser energy harvesting circuit 3 on the high-voltage side through an optical fiber 15. The laser energy harvesting circuit 3 can be located inside or outside the trigger monitoring unit 16, as an independent energy harvesting module, and is connected to the trigger monitoring unit 16 through electrical wires.

[0074] Under normal circumstances, the high-capacity power extraction circuit 2 can support the normal operation of the trigger monitoring unit 16. However, under certain extreme conditions, the voltage across the thyristor 9 may be too low, resulting in insufficient energy for the high-capacity power extraction circuit 2 to support the normal operation of the trigger monitoring unit 16. Furthermore, if the equalizing resistor 12 or the high-capacity power extraction circuit 2 fails, the trigger monitoring unit 16 will lack energy and fail to operate normally. Therefore, a laser power extraction circuit 3 is added to ensure that the trigger monitoring unit 16 can still operate normally under extreme conditions, thus improving reliability.

[0075] Laser power supply devices 6 generally have a short lifespan and low reliability under long-term continuous operation, which obviously does not meet the high reliability requirements of ultra-high voltage direct current transmission projects. In the hybrid energy harvesting method of this invention, a power monitoring circuit 4 is designed to monitor the status of the high-capacity power supply in real time, determine whether the energy is sufficient, and send the result to the control device 5 on the low-voltage side. The connection between the power monitoring circuit 4 and the control device 5 can be an optical fiber or an electrical wire. The methods for characterizing whether the energy is sufficient include: the presence or absence of pulses, the high or low level of the pulse, and communication encoding. Under normal operating conditions, the voltage across the thyristor 9 is high, and the high-capacity power harvesting circuit 2 can obtain sufficient energy. The power monitoring circuit 4 determines that the energy harvesting is sufficient and sends the result to the control device 5 on the low-voltage side. The control device implements the start / stop logic of the laser power supply device 6, controlling the laser power supply device 6 to stop working. Under extreme operating conditions or when the high-capacity power harvesting circuit 2 fails, the power monitoring circuit 4 determines that the energy harvesting is insufficient, and the control device 5 controls the laser power supply device 6 to start working, supplying power to the trigger monitoring unit 16.

[0076] This invention proposes a hybrid energy harvesting design method for the thyristor trigger monitoring unit of a DC energy discharge device. By adopting a hybrid energy harvesting method of fast energy harvesting, large capacity energy harvesting, and laser energy harvesting, the following stringent requirements of the trigger monitoring unit 16 are met: (1) large energy harvesting capacity to ensure normal operation of the trigger monitoring unit 16, and the trigger monitoring unit 16 can continue to work for a period of time after there is no voltage across the thyristor 9; (2) fast energy harvesting speed to enable the overvoltage protection circuit 7 to enter the working state as soon as possible; (3) high reliability.

[0080] Step 1: When the thyristor stage circuit is in the charging process, the fast energy harvesting circuit 1 obtains energy from the two ends of the thyristor 9 through the damping capacitor 11 and the damping resistor 10 to power the overvoltage protection circuit 7.
