Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power electronic device detection, and in particular to an online detection system and method for thyristor junction temperature. Background Art
[0002] Thyristors are currently the power electronic devices with the highest voltage resistance and largest output capacity. They have both forward and reverse voltage blocking capabilities and are widely used in the field of flexible HVDC transmission. They are the core components in HVDC transmission projects. In current large-capacity HVDC transmission projects, most use thyristor commutator valves.
[0003] According to industry surveys, the failure rate of power semiconductor devices in power converter systems is as high as 21%. Analysis of the causes of these failures revealed that temperature-related failures account for 55% of these failures. In power electronics, the operating junction temperature of power devices is the most critical parameter. For every 10°C increase in junction temperature, the device's service life is halved. Therefore, online monitoring of thyristor junction temperature is crucial for thyristor converter valves and the entire HVDC transmission system.
[0004] High-voltage, high-capacity thyristors typically utilize a press-fit package. Due to their unique packaging structure, current methods for monitoring their junction temperature primarily include infrared thermometers, thermal impedance models, and mathematical calculations. The infrared thermometer method suffers from significant measurement errors, providing only a rough estimate of the thyristor's junction temperature and failing to accurately measure the junction temperature for overload capacity analysis. The thermal impedance model method is challenging due to the need to accurately establish a thermal network model for the thyristor. Furthermore, errors in the thermal network model or case temperature measurement can lead to significant deviations between the calculated junction temperature and the actual value. The mathematical calculation method, based on the fundamental laws of heat transfer in thermal engineering, calculates the thyristor's junction temperature. While highly accurate, it is complex and costly. High-voltage, high-capacity thyristors often operate under high voltage and high current conditions, placing high demands on online detection technology. Therefore, achieving online detection of the operating junction temperature of high-voltage, high-capacity thyristors presents a significant challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Based on the above thyristor junction temperature online detection system, since the thyristor has a PNPN structure inside, such as Figure 3 As shown, there is a PN junction structure between the gate and cathode. The junction temperature detection method proposed in this invention utilizes the approximately linear relationship between the forward conduction voltage drop of the PN junction and the PN junction temperature to obtain the thyristor's operating junction temperature by measuring the thyristor's gate voltage. The principle is as follows:
[0048] For an ideal PN junction, the forward current I f and forward voltage U f The relationship is:
[0049]
[0050] Where: I s is the reverse saturation current of the PN junction, k is the Boltzmann constant, q is the absolute value of the electron charge, and T is the absolute temperature;
[0051] From formula (1), we can see that the forward current density j is related to the forward voltage U f The relationship is:
[0052]
[0053] Where: j s is the reverse saturation current density of the PN junction;
[0054] By taking the logarithm of both ends of equation (2), we can get the forward voltage U f The expression is:
[0055]
[0056] Since the forward current density is much greater than the reverse saturation current density, that is, j>>j s , so formula (3) can be simplified as:
[0057]
[0058] The function expression of the reverse saturation current density of the PN junction is:
[0059]
[0060] Where: n i is the intrinsic concentration, D p is the diffusion coefficient of the P region, L p is the diffusion width, N D is the doping concentration of the N region;
[0061] The functional expression of semiconductor intrinsic concentration is:
[0062]
[0063] Where: N C 、N V is the state density of the conduction band and valence band, E g is the band gap width of the semiconductor;
[0064] Substituting (5) and (6) into (4) we can obtain:
[0065]
[0066] From formula (7), we can see that when the forward current of the PN junction is constant, there is a certain relationship between the forward voltage drop of the PN junction and the junction temperature;
[0067] The bandgap function expression of semiconductor is:
[0068]
[0069] Where: E g (0), α, and β are semiconductor material parameters;
[0070] Taking the derivative of both ends of equation (8) with respect to temperature T, we can obtain:
[0071]
[0072] By taking the derivative of both ends of equation (8) with respect to temperature T, we can obtain:
[0073]
[0074] Since the thyristor chip is a silicon-based semiconductor chip, the parameters of the silicon semiconductor material at T = 300K are obtained:
[0075] E′ g | T=300K =-2.55×10 -4 eV; (11)
[0076] E″ g | T=300K =-4.37×10 -7 eV; (12)
[0077] From equations (11) and (12), we can see that the bandgap width is approximately a constant;
[0078] According to semiconductor materials, N C 、N V 、D p and L p ∝T ∝ , so we have:
[0079]
[0080] Where γ is a very small constant;
[0081] By taking the derivative of (13) at T = 300K, we can obtain:
[0082] (γTlnT)′| T=300K =6.7γ; (14)
[0083]
[0084] From the above formula, we can see that when the forward current of the PN junction is constant, the forward voltage of the PN junction is approximately linearly related to the temperature T;
[0085] Combined with the internal structure of the thyristor press-fit package (such as Figure 4 As shown, the equivalent circuit diagram is as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, there is a thick cylindrical copper boss (lower tube shell) under the cathode of the thyristor chip, so the actual thyristor gate voltage V GK for:
[0086] V GK =U f +U R ; (16)
[0087] Where: U R is the equivalent resistance R of the copper boss (lower tube shell) sK The voltage on
[0088] The resistivity expression of copper material is:
[0089] ρ=ρ0(1+at); (17)
[0090] Where: ρ0 is the resistivity of copper at 0°C, a is the temperature coefficient of resistance, and t is the temperature in Celsius;
[0091] From formula (17), we can see that the resistivity of copper changes approximately linearly with temperature;
[0092] It can be seen that the thyristor gate voltage V GK It changes approximately linearly with the increase of the operating temperature of the thyristor.
[0093] Furthermore, based on the above detection system and working principle, as Figure 6 As shown, the detection method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0094] Step 1: The sampling unit collects the DC bus voltage V of the thyristor DC , thyristor conduction current I AK , driving current I G The junction temperature detection unit collects the thyristor gate voltage V GK ;
[0095] Step 2: According to the DC bus voltage V DC , thyristor conduction current I AK , driving current I G and the thyristor gate voltage V GK , and the operating junction temperature of the thyristor can be obtained by querying the database or calculating the function model.
[0096] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the establishment of the database and function model includes the following steps:
[0097] Step 2.1: Within the rated current range of the thyristor, select n thyristor conduction current values with Δi as the interval, that is, I AK -n×Δi to I AK ;
[0098] Step 2.2: Within the rated voltage range of the thyristor, select m DC bus voltage values with Δu as the interval, i.e. V DC -m×Δu to V DC ;
[0099] Step 2.3: Within the trigger current range specified by the thyristor, use ΔI G As interval, select k driving current values, i.e. I AK -k×ΔI G to I G ;
[0100] Step 2.4: Within the specified junction temperature range of the thyristor, select p operating temperature values with ΔT as the interval, that is, T jmax -p×ΔT to T jmax ;
[0101] Step 2.5: Select a set of parameters for calibration experiment within the range of thyristor conduction current, DC bus voltage, drive current, and operating temperature selected in Steps 2.1 to 2.4;
[0102] Step 2.6: Use the ergodic test method to perform junction temperature calibration experiments on the parameters within the specified range in turn, and measure the thyristor gate voltage V GK ;
[0103] Step 2.7: Through calibration experiments, we get n×m×k×p data points, and finally get U AK -I AK -I G -T j -V GK Database and function models.
[0104] After experiments, the gate voltage V GK The waveform diagram is as follows Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the relationship between the thyristor operating junction temperature and gate voltage is as follows: Figure 9 shown. Figure 8 It shows the waveform of the gate voltage VGK of the thyristor during the conduction process under the same voltage and current but different temperatures. Figure 9 It shows that the thyristor operating junction temperature and gate voltage V GK From Figure 8 and Figure 9 The junction temperature detection method proposed in the present invention can be verified by using the approximate linear relationship between the forward conduction voltage drop of the PN junction and the PN junction temperature, and measuring the gate voltage V GK The operating junction temperature of the thyristor can be obtained with certain accuracy and resolution, and it is more convenient and simple.
