Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic control, in particular to a power generation system, a wind power converter, a grid-side converter and a fault redundancy control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in a wind power generation system, the voltage level output by a wind turbine through a wind power converter is usually 690VAC or 1140VAC, and a high-voltage tank transformer is needed to transform the voltage, so that the power output by the wind turbine can be sent to the internal step-up system of the power station through a 10KV or 35KV power collection line, and finally the voltage can be lifted to 110KV through the step-up system and then be connected to the power grid.

[0003] Since the cost of the high-voltage tank transformer is high, in the grid-side converter of the wind power converter, the voltage level output by the grid-side converter can be improved by cascading the AC side of the DCAC conversion module, so that the power output by the wind power converter can be directly connected to the power collection line, thereby reducing the cost of the wind power generation system. However, as long as one of the DCAC conversion modules fails, a circuit is formed at the AC side of the module, which leads to the failure of the entire branch and the stop of the output of the entire grid-side converter.

[0004] Therefore, when a DCAC conversion module in the grid-side converter fails, how to restore the output of the grid-side converter without replacing the module device is a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0059] In the fault redundancy control method for the grid-side converter, since the preset short-circuit strategy is different and the power conversion strategy is the same in different preset control strategies, driving the grid-side converter with different preset control strategies each time is equivalent to trying which preset short-circuit strategy can make the AC side of the faulty DCAC conversion module short-circuited; and since on the basis that all the un-faulty DCAC conversion modules are performing power conversion, if the AC sides of all the faulty DCAC conversion modules are short-circuited, the grid-side converter will output a sine wave, so when it is judged that the output of the grid-side converter is a sine wave, it indicates that the current preset control strategy makes the AC sides of all the faulty DCAC conversion modules short-circuited, i.e. the output of the grid-side converter can be restored, therefore, the output of the grid-side converter is restored by controlling the grid-side converter to start running and driving the grid-side converter with the current preset control strategy; in addition, since the fault redundancy control method does not replace the module device, the fault redundancy control method for the grid-side converter provided by the present application can restore the output of the grid-side converter without replacing the module device when the DCAC conversion module in the grid-side converter fails.

[0066] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0067] In the present application, the relationship terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply that there is any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms “include”, “contain” or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or equipment including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or equipment. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement “including a…” does not exclude the presence of another identical element in the process, method, article or equipment including the element.

[0068] In order to temporarily restore the output of the grid-side converter when a fault occurs in the DCAC conversion module in the grid-side converter without replacing the module device, the embodiments of the present application provide a fault redundancy control method of a grid-side converter, and the specific structure of the grid-side converter can be referred to Figure 7 , which specifically includes: at least two DCAC conversion modules connected in series at the AC side.

[0069] Optionally, the DCAC conversion module can adopt, for example, Figure 7The H-bridge inverter topology shown can also adopt a three-level full-bridge inverter topology; in actual applications, including but not limited to this, as long as it is a full-bridge inverter topology, it is within the protection scope of the present application, and can be determined according to specific conditions, and is within the protection scope of the present application.

[0070] The fault redundancy control method of the grid-side converter will be described in detail below, and the specific process is as shown in Figure 1 The specific steps include the following steps:

[0071] S110, after the open-circuit fault of at least one DCAC conversion module, the AC side connection of the grid-side converter is disconnected.

[0072] In actual applications, after the open-circuit fault of the DCAC conversion module, that is, the open circuit is formed at the AC side of the DCAC conversion module, the AC side voltage of the DCAC conversion module becomes a large value, and the AC side current is approximately zero, so the open-circuit fault of the DCAC conversion module can be judged according to the change of the AC side voltage or the AC side current of the DCAC conversion module; taking the AC side voltage as an example, the judgment process of the open-circuit fault is specifically described, and the specific process is as shown in Figure 2 The specific steps include the following steps:

[0073] S210, judge whether the AC side voltage of the DCAC conversion module is greater than a preset voltage.

[0074] If the AC side voltage of the DCAC conversion module is greater than the preset voltage, step S220 is performed; if the AC side voltage of the DCAC conversion module is less than or equal to the preset voltage, step S230 is performed.

[0075] S220, determining that the DCAC conversion module has an open-circuit fault.

[0076] S230, determining that the DCAC conversion module has no open-circuit fault.

[0077] The above is only one embodiment of judging whether the DCAC conversion module has an open-circuit fault, and in actual applications, other embodiments are also included, which will not be described one by one here, and can be determined according to specific conditions.

[0078] In actual applications, the process of disconnecting the AC side connection of the grid-side converter is specifically: first, control the grid-side converter to stop, and then disconnect the connection between the AC side of the grid-side converter and the load, and / or the connection between the AC side of the grid-side converter and the power grid.

[0079] It should be noted that first controlling the grid-side converter to stop can avoid safety accidents caused by false touch and the like, thereby improving the power safety of the grid-side converter.

[0080] S120 drives the grid-side converter each time with a different preset control strategy.

[0081] The preset control strategies include a preset short-circuit strategy for all faulty DCAC converter modules and a power conversion strategy for all fault-free DCAC converter modules. In practical applications, driving all faulty DCAC converter modules with the preset short-circuit strategy is equivalent to controlling both ends of the AC side of all faulty DCAC converter modules to be short-circuited. Driving all fault-free DCAC converter modules with the power conversion strategy is equivalent to controlling all fault-free DCAC converter modules to perform power conversion. It should be noted that the power conversion strategy is the same as that in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0082] In addition, the preset short-circuit strategy differs among different preset control strategies, while the power conversion strategy remains the same.

[0083] The preset short-circuit strategy is a predicted strategy that can short-circuit both ends of the AC side of each faulty DCAC converter module. That is, the preset short-circuit strategy includes a short-circuit strategy for each faulty DCAC converter module. Typically, the preset short-circuit strategy is preset based on the specific topology of the DCAC converter module and the predicted cause of the open-circuit fault in each DCAC converter module.

[0084] The DC-AC conversion module adopts Figure 7 Taking the H-bridge inverter topology shown as an example, under different preset short-circuit strategies, the different short-circuit strategies for the same fault in the DC-AC converter module include at least the following two:

[0085] 1. A short-circuit strategy that, during the positive half-output cycle, simultaneously turns on the two upper half-bridge arms and simultaneously turns off the two lower half-bridge arms in the corresponding faulty DCAC converter module, and during the negative half-output cycle, simultaneously turns on the two upper half-bridge arms and simultaneously turns off the two lower half-bridge arms in the corresponding faulty DCAC converter module.

[0086] 2. A short-circuit strategy that, during the positive half-output cycle, simultaneously turns on the two upper half-bridge arms and simultaneously turns off the two lower half-bridge arms in the corresponding faulty DCAC converter module, and during the negative half-output cycle, simultaneously turns off the two upper half-bridge arms and simultaneously turns on the two lower half-bridge arms in the corresponding faulty DCAC converter module.

[0087] 3. A short-circuit strategy that, during the positive half-output cycle, simultaneously turns off the two upper half-bridge arms and simultaneously turns on the two lower half-bridge arms in the corresponding faulty DCAC converter module, and during the negative half-output cycle, simultaneously turns on the two upper half-bridge arms and simultaneously turns off the two lower half-bridge arms in the corresponding faulty DCAC converter module.

[0088] 4. In the positive half output cycle, the two upper half bridge arms in the DCAC conversion module corresponding to the fault are turned off at the same time, and the two lower half bridge arms are turned on at the same time; in the negative half output cycle, the two upper half bridge arms in the DCAC conversion module corresponding to the fault are turned off at the same time, and the two lower half bridge arms are turned on at the same time.

[0089] In different preset short circuit strategies, different short circuit strategies of the DCAC conversion module for the same fault include four short circuit strategies, for example, if the number of the fault DCAC conversion module is equal to 1, the different preset short circuit strategies are as shown in the following table:

[0090] Serial number Positive half output cycle Negative half output cycle 1 Q1 and Q2 on, Q3 and Q4 off Q1 and Q2 on, Q3 and Q4 off 2 Q1 and Q2 on, Q3 and Q4 off Q1 and Q2 off, Q3 and Q4 on 3 Q1 and Q2 off, Q3 and Q4 on Q1 and Q2 on, Q3 and Q4 off 4 Q1 and Q2 off, Q3 and Q4 on Q1 and Q2 off, Q3 and Q4 on

[0091] Q1 and Q2 in the table are the switch tubes in the two upper half bridge arms, Q1 and Q2 are turned on, that is, the two upper half bridge arms are turned on; Q3 and Q4 are the switch tubes in the two lower half bridge arms, Q3 and Q4 are turned on, that is, the two lower half bridge arms are turned on.

[0092] If the number of the fault DCAC conversion module is equal to 2, assuming that G1 and G2 have open circuit faults, the different preset short circuit strategies are as shown in the following table:

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 in the table refer to the same as in the above table, which will not be repeated here.

[0096] It should be noted that since in step S120, the preset short circuit strategy is required to drive all fault DCAC conversion modules each time, after all preset short circuit strategies are executed, the execution of the fault redundancy control method of the grid-side converter is stopped.

[0097] S130, after each driving, it is judged whether the output of the grid-side converter is a sine wave.

[0098] If the output of the grid-side converter is a sine wave, step S140 is executed; if the output of the grid-side converter is not a sine wave, step S120 is returned to be executed.

[0099] In actual application, the output of the grid-side converter can be current or voltage, which is not limited here, and depends on the output control mode of the grid-side converter, for example, if it is open loop control, the output of the grid-side converter is voltage, if it is closed loop control, the output of the grid-side converter is current.

[0100] Since the non-faulty DCAC conversion modules do not fail, when all the non-faulty DCAC conversion modules are driven in the power conversion strategy, all the non-faulty DCAC conversion modules perform power conversion, that is, the outputs of each non-faulty DCAC conversion module are sine waves.

[0101] In addition, since on the basis that all the non-faulty DCAC conversion modules perform power conversion, if the AC sides of all the faulty DCAC conversion modules are short-circuited, the grid-side converter outputs sine waves, therefore, when it is judged that the output of the grid-side converter is a sine wave, it indicates that the current preset control strategy causes the AC sides of all the faulty DCAC conversion modules to be short-circuited, that is, the output of the grid-side converter can be restored.

[0102] S140, control the grid-side converter to start running and drive the grid-side converter in the current preset control strategy.

[0103] The current preset control strategy refers to the preset control strategy executed when it is judged that the output of the grid-side converter is a sine wave.

[0104] Since the preset short-circuit strategy is different and the power conversion strategy is the same in different preset control strategies, driving the grid-side converter in different preset control strategies each time is equivalent to trying which preset short-circuit strategy can cause the AC sides of the faulty DCAC conversion modules to be short-circuited; in addition, as known from the above, when it is judged that the output of the grid-side converter is a sine wave, it indicates that the current preset control strategy causes the AC sides of all the faulty DCAC conversion modules to be short-circuited, that is, the output of the grid-side converter can be restored, therefore, the output of the grid-side converter is restored by controlling the grid-side converter to start running and driving the grid-side converter in the current preset control strategy; in addition, since the fault redundancy control method does not replace the module device, the fault redundancy control method of the grid-side converter provided in the present application can restore the output of the grid-side converter without replacing the module device when the DCAC conversion modules in the grid-side converter fail.

[0105] It should be noted that in actual application, the preset short-circuit strategy cannot cause all the faulty DCAC conversion modules to be short-circuited in any case, for example, taking the case where one DCAC conversion module fails and the DCDC conversion module adopts an H-bridge inverter topology as an example, if Q1, Q3 and the anti-parallel diodes thereof all fail, the preset short-circuit strategy cannot cause the AC side of the DCAC conversion module to be short-circuited, that is, the grid-side converter cannot restore the output at this time, therefore, the fault redundancy control method of the grid-side converter provided in the present application can only restore the AC side output of the grid-side converter in a specific case when the DCAC conversion modules in the grid-side converter fail.

[0106] In actual application, when the AC side of the faulty DCAC conversion module forms a short circuit, the short circuit path between the AC side of the faulty DCAC conversion module can not be able to withstand the large current for a long time, and thus the open circuit between the AC side of the DCAC conversion module can be formed again after the output is restored. In order to solve the problem, another embodiment of the application provides another implementation of the fault redundancy control method of the grid-side converter, and the specific structure is shown in Figure 3 The embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment, and further includes the following steps before step S140:

[0107] S310, determining whether the output of the grid-side converter is always a sine wave within a preset time.

[0108] If the output of the grid-side converter is always a sine wave within the preset time, step S140 is performed; if the output of the grid-side converter is not always a sine wave within the preset time, step S120 is performed.

[0109] The preset time is a time set in advance according to experience and actual situation, which is not limited here.

[0110] In the embodiment, whether the short circuit path between the AC side of the faulty DCAC conversion module can withstand the current for a long time is tested through step S310, and thus the problem that the open circuit between the AC side of the DCAC conversion module is formed again after the output is restored can be solved.

[0111] Another embodiment of the application provides another implementation of the fault redundancy control method of the grid-side converter, and the specific process can be referred to Figure 4 (based on only Figure 1 ), which is based on the above-mentioned embodiment, and further includes the following steps before step S120:

[0112] S410, reducing the DC voltage of each DCAC conversion module to zero.

[0113] As described above, the faulty DCAC conversion module cannot perform power conversion, and thus the DC voltage of the faulty DCAC conversion module can be reduced to zero.

[0114] S420, setting the DC voltage of each non-faulty DCAC conversion module to a preset value.

[0115] Each preset value is less than or equal to the rated value of the DC voltage of the corresponding DCAC conversion module.

[0116] If the DC side of the DCAC conversion module is connected to the DCDC conversion module, as shown in Figure 8 or Figure 9If so, step S420 is performed, specifically: establishing voltage at the input side of the DCDC, and controlling the DCDC conversion module to output preset voltage.

[0117] The embodiment also provides another implementation of the method for fault redundancy control of the grid-side converter. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this implementation is based on the previous implementation and further includes the following steps before step S140:

[0118] S510: determining whether the DC voltage of each non-faulty DCAC conversion module is equal to the respective rated value.

[0119] If the DC voltage of each non-faulty DCAC conversion module is not equal to the respective rated value, steps S520 and S530 are sequentially performed, and after step S530, step S510 is performed again; if the DC voltage of each DCAC conversion module is equal to the respective rated value, step S140 is performed.

[0120] S520: increasing the DC voltage of each non-faulty DCAC conversion module.

[0121] S530: driving the grid-side converter according to the current preset control strategy.

[0122] In this implementation, the driving mode that can stabilize the output of the grid-side converter is determined when the DC voltage of the non-faulty DCAC conversion module is set to a lower value; then, the DC voltage of the non-faulty DCAC conversion module is gradually increased, so that the current borne by the short-circuit path between the two ends of the AC side of the faulty DCAC conversion module gradually increases, thereby avoiding secondary damage to the grid-side converter.

[0123] Another embodiment of the method for fault redundancy control of the grid-side converter is provided, and the specific process can be referred to Figure 6 (only on the basis of Figure 1 ), which is based on the above-mentioned implementation and further includes the following steps after step S110:

[0124] S610: connecting an analog load between the two ends of the AC side of the grid-side converter.

[0125] The analog load is used to simulate the real load, which can be an inductor, a resistor, or other impedance devices, or even a combination of different impedance devices, which are not limited in the present application.
