It is used to perform reactive power compensation and harmonic control for the power supply operation of continuous mining equipment, including asynchronous motors and frequency converters. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing number of continuous coal mining machines in underground coal mines, the pollution to the underground power grid from harmonic sources is also gradually increasing. Limited by the capacity of harmonic mitigation devices in existing underground power supply systems and their installation locations within the lines, the effectiveness of mitigating harmonic sources at the equipment terminals is limited. Simultaneously, due to limitations in the transformer capacity and voltage regulation range at the working face, the reactive power generated during motor startup in the continuous coal mining machine lowers the terminal voltage of the machine, making startup difficult. Current practice involves shortening the distance between the transformer and the machine, which necessitates multiple moves of the transformer, increasing the workload of coal mining and reducing mining efficiency.
[0003] To improve the efficiency of continuous mining machine operations and reduce the number of relocations, it is necessary to improve the power supply equipment of the existing continuous mining machine. Summary of the Invention

The walking frequency converter is used to control the harmonics of the continuous mining machine device by measuring the incoming current of the continuous mining machine through the first current transformer.
[0008] The dynamic reactive power compensator includes a T-type three-level structure and an LCL third-order filter; the T-type three-level structure is connected to the power supply cable of the continuous mining machine through the LCL third-order filter.

The current obtained by the dynamic reactive power compensator to achieve bus voltage equalization control is used as the 0-axis component. The current obtained by bus voltage stabilization control of the dynamic reactive power compensator is used as the d-axis component. Then, through the coordinate transformation from dq0 to abc, the current value in the abc coordinate system is obtained as the current command value of the dynamic reactive power compensator. According to the current command value The control duty cycle of each switching device in the dynamic reactive power compensator is obtained.
[0011] The walking inverter is a four-quadrant walking inverter, which includes a grid-side unit, a motor-side unit, and an LCL filter. One end of the motor-side unit is connected to the walking motor, and the other end is connected to the output terminal of the inverter through the grid-side unit and the LCL filter.
[0012] The specific method for harmonic mitigation of the mobile frequency converter is as follows:
[0013] The sum of the output current obtained by detecting the fundamental positive sequence active component of the continuous mining machine's incoming current and the current value obtained by the bus voltage regulation of the walking frequency converter is used as the d-axis component. The current value obtained by equalizing the bus voltage of the walking inverter is taken as the 0-axis component. The q-axis component is set to zero; then, through the coordinate transformation dq0→abc, the current value in the abc coordinate system is generated. The current value in the abc coordinate system is then subtracted from the input current of the continuous mining machine to obtain the current command value for the mobile inverter's grid-side unit. According to the current command value The control duty cycle of each switching device in the grid-side unit of the mobile inverter is obtained.
[0014] When the dynamic reactive power compensator performs reactive power compensation, it adopts dual closed-loop control of voltage and current. The voltage control is the outer loop, which realizes the equalization and stabilization control of the bus voltage. The current inner loop adopts proportional control in parallel with a repetitive controller containing the internal mode of each harmonic, forming an inner loop control strategy of proportional control and repetitive control in parallel.

[0036] In this embodiment, during the startup process of the continuous mining machine, the parallel dynamic reactive power compensator is activated, and its entire capacity is used to provide the reactive power required for the startup of each motor of the continuous mining machine. Then, the travel motor starts smoothly under the control of the travel frequency converter.

[0037] When the continuous mining machine starts, the dynamic reactive power compensator (VPC) engages. As the pump station motor starts, it provides dynamic reactive power compensation. Then, the transport motor and cutting motor start sequentially, with the VPC providing dynamic compensation for each, reducing startup difficulty and reactive power transmission losses. When the traveling motor starts, the traveling frequency converter uses a variable frequency drive to start the motor. Once it is running normally, the continuous mining machine enters a stable operating mode. At this time, the grid-side unit in the traveling frequency converter starts operating in harmonic mitigation mode, reducing the harmonic content in the line and lowering line harmonic losses.

[0039] In summary, this invention provides a newly added dynamic reactive power compensator to compensate for reactive power in continuous mining machines, and utilizes the grid-side terminal of a four-quadrant walking frequency converter to add harmonic mitigation function to the continuous mining machine, thus forming a distributed power quality management function. Among them, the reactive power compensation function, when the pump station motor, cutting motor and transport motor in the continuous mining machine are started and during normal operation after start-up, detects the reactive power component in the incoming current of the continuous mining machine equipment and performs reactive power exchange with the compensation device nearby. The purpose is to compensate for the reactive power absorbed from the transfer terminal when the motor starts, thereby improving the power factor and the voltage at the continuous mining machine terminal during startup, indirectly increasing the power supply distance and reducing the losses caused by reactive current on the line. The harmonic control function uses the grid-side unit and LCL filter in the four-quadrant walking frequency converter to control the harmonic components in the power supply line by detecting the fundamental positive sequence active component in the incoming current on the continuous mining machine side. This reduces the harmonic loss in the power supply line and lowers the harmonic content in the power supply line of the continuous mining machine equipment, thus controlling the power quality in the underground power supply line from the source of the power load.
