Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of high - voltage flexible DC power transmission, and more specifically, to a method and device for calculating the junction temperature of a DC load shedding device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous increase in power consumption demand, regions with high power generation need to transmit electricity to regions with large power consumption demands. This process may involve cross - sea power transmission, and the technology for transmitting offshore wind power needs to be continuously developed. During the process of transmitting offshore wind power, the reliability of the DC transmission project for offshore wind power needs to be ensured.

[0003] The DC load shedding device in the offshore wind power flexible DC transmission system is an important component. When an AC fault occurs in the receiving - end power grid, causing the offshore wind power flexible DC transmission system to be unable to transmit DC power, it will accumulate inside the offshore wind power flexible DC transmission system. At this time, the DC load shedding device can consume the accumulated DC power, thereby avoiding over - voltage or even tripping of the system caused by the inability to transmit DC power.

[0004] The working time of the DC load shedding device usually does not exceed 2 s. During this process, due to the frequent switching of high - power power electronic devices such as IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) or IGCT (Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor), a large amount of self - generated loss will cause thermal accumulation and temperature rise. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the junction temperature of the temperature rise situation to protect the load shedding device from thermal breakdown.

[0005] Currently, the method for calculating the junction temperature of IGBT or IGCT is to use the finite - element simulation method, which requires building a three - dimensional model of IGBT or IGCT. This has a large workload, takes a long time, and requires a large amount of computing time and resources for the second - level power consumption load shedding, resulting in low simulation efficiency. For the DC load shedding device, applying the junction temperature calculation method of IGBT or IGCT is only applicable to high - voltage and high - power test scenarios, so it is not applicable either.

[0100] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0101] The solution of the present application can be implemented based on a terminal with data processing capabilities, and the terminal can be a computer, a server, the cloud, etc.

[0102] Next, in combination with Figure 1 As described above, the method for calculating the junction temperature of the DC unloading device of the present application may include the following steps:

[0103] Step S110: Create an electromagnetic transient simulation model with a DC unloading device.

[0104] Specifically, for the electromagnetic transient simulation model with a DC unloading device, one of the several preset building schemes can be selected for building. As shown in Figure 2(a), a centralized electromagnetic transient simulation model with a DC unloading device can be built, and the devices within the circles in the figure are the DC unloading devices. As shown in Figure 2(b), a distributed electromagnetic transient simulation model with a DC unloading device can be built, and the devices within the circles in the figure are the DC unloading devices. As shown in Figure 2(c) again, a distributed electromagnetic transient simulation model with a DC unloading device can be built, and the devices within the circles in the figure are the DC unloading devices.

[0105] Step S120: Determine multiple preset power parameters, and under each power parameter, perform fault simulation on the electromagnetic transient simulation model to obtain the current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information of the DC unloading device after a preset simulation time after the IGBT or IGCT is turned on.

[0106] Specifically, for the multiple preset power parameters: with 0.1 p.u. as the segmentation unit, ten power parameters between 0 and 1 p.u. can be taken. The preset simulation time can be customized, such as 1 s. These ten power parameters can be used as simulation condition parameters for simulation. For example, take ten groups of 0.1 p.u., 0.2 p.u., ……, 1.0 p.u. as the condition parameters for simulation to obtain 10 groups of voltage, current, and switching information of the DC unloading device within 1 s after the IGBT or IGCT is turned on.

[0107] Step S130: Analyze the current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information of the DC unloading device under various power parameters, determine the maximum total loss energy of the DC unloading device, and the target current information of the DC unloading device at the maximum total loss energy.

[0108] Specifically, according to the voltage and current of the IGBT or IGCT after the IGBT or IGCT of the DC unloading device is turned on, the timing waveforms of the voltage and current of the IGBT or IGCT can be drawn, as Figure 3 shown. Taking the current timing waveform of the IGBT or IGCT as a reference, according to the current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information of the DC unloading device, calculate the conduction loss, turn-on loss, and turn-off loss, and sum them up to obtain the total loss. Compare the total losses under multiple groups of condition parameters, and the maximum total loss can be taken as the maximum total loss energy of the DC unloading device.

[0109] Step S140: Use the pre-established thermal network simulation model with the DC unloading device, and combine the maximum total loss energy to calculate the reference maximum junction temperature of the DC unloading device.

[0110] Specifically, a thermal network simulation model can be established according to the parameters provided in the device manual of the IGBT or IGCT in the DC unloading device. The topological structure of the thermal network simulation model is as Figure 4 shown. The thermal network simulation model has three grounding paths. The first grounding path is connected with a heating power tester, the second grounding path is connected with a voltage tester, and multiple RC combinations are connected in series between the second and third grounding paths. The total number of RC combinations can be the order of the IGBT or IGCT, and the ambient temperature can be measured on the third grounding path.

[0111] Step S150: Calculate the target loss energy of the DC unloading device at the reference maximum junction temperature based on the target current information of the DC unloading device at the maximum total loss energy.

[0112] Specifically, while referring to the target current information of the DC unloading device at the maximum total loss energy, it is also necessary to refer to the on-state volt-ampere characteristic curves at 25°C and 125°C, and determine the threshold voltage and slope resistance at the reference maximum junction temperature through the difference method. Then, based on the threshold voltage and the slope resistance, calculate the conduction loss, turn-on loss, and turn-off loss at the reference maximum junction temperature, and sum them up to obtain the target loss energy of the DC unloading device at the reference maximum junction temperature.

[0113] Step S160: Determine the target maximum junction temperature of the DC unloading device based on the target loss energy and the total resistance value of all resistors in the thermal network simulation model.

[0114] It can be understood that the heat of the DC unloading device is related to the total resistance value of its IGBT or IGCT. The larger the total resistance value, the more heat the DC unloading device emits, and vice versa.

[0115] The junction temperature calculation method of the DC unloading device provided in this embodiment creates an electromagnetic transient simulation model with the DC unloading device, determines various preset power parameters, and performs fault simulations on the electromagnetic transient simulation model under each power parameter to obtain the current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information of the DC unloading device after a preset simulation time when the insulated gate bipolar transistor IGBT or integrated gate-commutated thyristor IGCT is put into operation. Analyze the current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information of the DC unloading device under various power parameters to determine the maximum total loss energy of the DC unloading device and the target current information of the DC unloading device at the maximum total loss energy. Use the pre-established thermal network simulation model with the DC unloading device to calculate the reference maximum junction temperature of the DC unloading device in combination with the maximum total loss energy, calculate the target loss energy of the DC unloading device at the reference maximum junction temperature through the target current information of the DC unloading device at the maximum total loss energy, and determine the target maximum junction temperature of the DC unloading device based on the target loss energy and the total resistance value of all resistors in the thermal network simulation model. Thus, by obtaining the current and switch action information during the input process of the DC unloading device through electromagnetic transient simulation, there is no need to establish a three-dimensional model of IGBT or IGCT, which greatly reduces the workload and time for calculating the maximum total loss energy. Using the calculated reference maximum junction temperature as the iterative input to perform iterative calculations on the loss again makes the finally calculated target maximum junction temperature more accurate, thereby improving the efficiency of calculating the target maximum junction temperature of the DC unloading device.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present application, the process of the above step S120, determining multiple preset power parameters, and performing fault simulations on the electromagnetic transient simulation model under each power parameter to obtain current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information of the DC unloading device after a preset simulation time after an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) or integrated gate-commutated thyristor (IGCT) is turned on, will be introduced. This process may include:

[0117] S1. Determine multiple power parameters for simulating the electromagnetic transient simulation model according to a preset unit power parameter.

[0118] Specifically, the unit power parameter can be customized, such as 0.1 p.u., and multiple power parameters can be determined at intervals of the unit power parameter, such as these ten power parameters: 0.1 p.u., 0.2 p.u., ……, 1.0 p.u.

[0119] S2. Under each power parameter, drive the electromagnetic transient simulation model to turn on the IGBT or IGCT in the DC unloading device when a three-phase short-circuit fault occurs, and after a preset simulation time after the DC unloading device is turned on, determine the current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information of the DC unloading device under this power parameter.

[0120] Specifically, the electromagnetic transient simulation model may include a sending-end AC system, and when a three-phase short-circuit fault occurs in the electromagnetic transient simulation model, it is a three-phase short-circuit fault in the sending-end AC system.

[0121] Among them, the turn-on information may be related to time, that is, the instantaneous turn-on information, and the turn-off information may be related to time, that is, the instantaneous turn-off information.

[0122] The method for calculating the junction temperature of the DC unloading device provided in this embodiment, by determining multiple power parameters and performing simulation tests under each power parameter, obtains multiple sets of current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information, without establishing a three-dimensional model of the IGBT or IGCT, and reduces the time for obtaining current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present application, the process of the above step S130, analyzing the current information, turn-on information, and turn-off information of the DC unloading device under various power parameters, determining the maximum total loss energy of the DC unloading device, and the target current information of the DC unloading device at the maximum total loss energy, will be introduced. This process may include:

[0124] S1. Calculate the conduction loss energy of the DC unloading device within the preset simulation time under each power parameter based on the current information of the DC unloading device, the first preset threshold voltage, and the first preset slope resistance.

[0125] Specifically, the on-state volt-ampere characteristic curve at 25°C can be obtained from the device manual of IGBT or IGCT, and thus the first preset threshold voltage is determined as the threshold voltage of IGBT or IGCT at 25°C, and the first preset slope resistance is the slope resistance of IGBT or IGCT at 25°C. Substituting the timing waveform of the current of IGBT or IGCT, the conduction loss energy of the DC unloading device within the preset simulation time can be calculated.

[0126] The conduction loss energy can be calculated by the following formula:

[0127]

[0128] where, I c (t) is the current information of the DC unloading device, V ce(th)_25℃ is the first preset threshold voltage, R _25℃ is the first preset slope resistance, t = 1.5 represents the start time of the preset simulation time, and t = 2.5 represents the end time of the preset simulation time.

[0129] S2. Calculate the turn-off loss energy of the DC unloading device within the preset simulation time under each power parameter based on the turn-off information of the DC unloading device under each power parameter.

[0130] Specifically, according to the turn-off information of the DC unloading device under each power parameter, the number of turn-offs of the DC unloading device within the preset simulation time under each power parameter can be determined, so as to determine the loss energy of each turn-off of the DC unloading device under each power parameter. Finally, the loss energies of each turn-off of the DC unloading device under each power parameter can be accumulated to obtain the turn-off loss energy of the DC unloading device within the preset simulation time.

[0131] For example, assuming the preset simulation time is from the 1.5th second to the 2.5th second, then the turn-off information between the 1.5th second and the 2.5th second can be determined on the timing waveform of the current of IGBT or IGCT, the energy generated by each turn-off action can be determined, and the energy generated by each turn-off action between the 1.5th second and the 2.5th second can be accumulated to obtain the turn-off loss energy.

Finally, the loss energy of each turn-on of the DC unloading device under each power parameter can be accumulated to obtain the turn-off loss energy of the DC unloading device within the preset simulation time.

[0134] For example, assuming that the preset simulation time is from 1.5 s to 2.5 s, then the turn-on information between 1.5 s and 2.5 s can be determined from the timing waveform of the current of the IGBT or IGCT, the energy generated by each turn-on action can be determined, and the turn-on loss energy can be obtained by accumulating the energy generated by each turn-on action between 1.5 s and 2.5 s.

[0135] S4. Add up the conduction loss energy, the turn-off loss energy, and the turn-on loss energy under each power parameter to obtain the total loss energy of the DC unloading device under this power parameter.

[0136] Specifically, the total loss energy of the DC unloading device under each power parameter can be expressed by the following formula:

[0137] E loss (n)=E on (n)+E switch off (n)+E switch on (n)

[0138] Wherein, E on (n) is the conduction loss energy of the DC unloading device under each power parameter, E switch off (n) is the turn-off loss energy of the DC unloading device under each power parameter, and E switch on (n) is the turn-on loss energy of the DC unloading device under each power parameter.

[0139] S5. Determine the maximum total loss energy among the total loss energies of the DC unloading device under various power parameters, and determine the current information of the DC unloading device under the power parameter corresponding to the maximum total loss energy as the target current information.

[0140] For example, assuming that there are a total of 10 power parameters, then the maximum total loss energy is:

[0141] E loss_max =MAX{E loss (1), E loss (2), E loss (3),..., E loss(10)}

[0142] Assume that the maximum total loss energy is E loss_max = E loss (3), then the target current information is E loss (3) The current information of the DC unloading device under the corresponding power parameter (0.3 p.u.).
