Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power equipment maintenance, specifically a novel method and device for identifying stray inductance in a bidirectional DC / DC converter. Background Technology

[0002] To meet the high-voltage, high-power transmission requirements of power transmission lines, existing technologies mostly employ an input-series-output-parallel (ISOP) topology to construct high-voltage-to-low-voltage DC-DC converters. This topology consists of multiple isolated power modules. The modules on the input side are connected in series to ensure they can withstand medium to high voltages, while the output side is connected in parallel to the low-voltage bus to output a large current. See [link to ISOP topology] for details. Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] Among them, the isolated dual active bridge converter (abbreviated as isolated DAB converter) is a typical example built based on the ISOP topology, and it is widely used due to its numerous excellent characteristics. The topology of the isolated DAB converter is relatively simple, consisting of a high-frequency inverter on the input side, a high-frequency transformer located in the middle, and a high-frequency rectifier on the output side. See the structure below. Figure 2 As shown. Multiple isolated DAB converters can be combined in series and parallel to obtain an ISOP-DAB DC transformer; see the structure below. Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 All DAB modules in the project aim to have completely identical parameters. However, due to limitations in real-world manufacturing processes, each module contains numerous components, inevitably leading to differences in parameters.

[0004] Figure 9 A novel bidirectional DC / DC converter is illustrated. Since stray inductance is highly detrimental to the insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs, the basic components of ISOP-DAB DC transformers) in the converter, it is necessary to detect the stray inductance Ls of the converter after circuit assembly. The stray inductance Ls mainly consists of two parts: the commutation circuit stray inductance Ls and the drive circuit stray inductance Lg. Existing techniques reduce stray inductance by lowering the Q value of the absorption circuit (Q value is generally referred to as the quality factor, a dimensionless unit that measures the performance of a component or resonant circuit), but this method is relatively inefficient.

[0055] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] The acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in this application all comply with the relevant provisions of national laws and regulations.

[0057] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 This novel bidirectional DC / DC converter topology includes: a converter input terminal and a converter output terminal.

[0058] The converter input terminal includes multiple stages of input full-bridge converters connected in series; the number of stages of the input full-bridge converter is 2N; the input full-bridge converters from the 1st stage to the 2Nth stage are connected in series; the positive DC terminal of the 1st stage input full-bridge converter is connected to the positive terminal of the high-voltage bus (UdcL+), and the negative DC terminal of the 2Nth stage input full-bridge converter is connected to the negative terminal of the high-voltage bus (UdcL-); the DC terminals of the Nth stage input full-bridge converter and the (N+1)th stage input full-bridge converter are both grounded; N is a positive integer greater than 2.

[0059] The converter output terminal includes a multi-stage output full-bridge converter connected in parallel; the positive DC terminal of each stage of the output full-bridge converter is connected to the positive terminal of the low-voltage bus (UdcL+), and the negative DC terminal of each stage of the output full-bridge converter is connected to the negative terminal of the low-voltage bus (UdcL-).

[0060] It should be noted that Udc+ and Udc- are the positive and negative terminals of the DC side (also known as the DC terminal), respectively. Udc represents the voltage difference between the positive and negative terminals of the DC side. Uac+ and Uac- represent the positive and negative terminals of the AC side, respectively. Uac represents the voltage difference between the positive and negative terminals of the AC side. Figure 4 In this context, FBC refers to the full-bridge converter.

[0061] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 In order to effectively identify stray inductance in a novel bidirectional DC / DC converter, this application provides a method for identifying stray inductance in a novel bidirectional DC / DC converter, including:

[0062] S101: Power on the insulated gate bipolar transistor in the converter to a light-load operating state, and use the magnetic display sticker set on the special busbar of the converter to obtain the light-load distribution diagram of the stray inductance in the converter.

[0063] S102: Obtain the corresponding predicted distribution map based on the light load distribution map and the pre-trained image transformer;

[0064] S103: Reduce or shield stray inductance based on the predicted distribution map.

[0065] Understandably, the stray inductance of a converter can cause high voltage spikes between the collector and emitter of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), resulting in significant electromagnetic interference and potentially damaging the IGBT. Measuring the converter's stray inductance can help predict these voltage spikes to some extent and allow for the design of appropriate buffer circuits.

[0066] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application will first describe the impact of stray inductance in the novel bidirectional DC / DC converter on the turn-on of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), its turn-off, and its turn-off tail current. These three aspects demonstrate that the presence of stray inductance poses a threat to the stability and safety of IGBT operation.

[0067] Specifically, stray inductance is generated only when the current in the converter changes. The stray inductance includes the stray inductance of the bus capacitor, the stray inductance between the bus capacitor and the IGBT module, and the stray inductance inside each module of the converter (such as stray inductance between terminals, bonding wires, and stray inductance of the DCB copper layer).

[0068] The effect of stray inductance on IGBT turn-on is as follows:

[0069] The larger the stray inductance, the larger the collector-emitter voltage V. ce The greater the drop, the more its waveform can be observed using a double-pulse test;

[0070] The larger the stray inductance, the larger the collector current d. ic / d t The lower;

[0071] The larger the stray inductance, the higher the turn-on loss E. on Instead, it decreased.

[0072] It is evident that stray inductance is detrimental to the turn-on of IGBTs.

[0073] The effect of stray inductance on IGBT turn-off is as follows:

[0074] The larger the stray inductance, the larger the collector-emitter voltage V. ce The greater the voltage overshoot, the greater the risk of overvoltage breakdown;

[0075] The larger the stray inductance, the larger the collector current i. c The slower the descent slope, the longer it takes to reach the tail area;

[0076] The larger the stray inductance, the less noticeable the tail current, the harder the turn-off, and the higher the turn-off loss E. off The larger;

[0077] It is evident that stray inductance is highly detrimental to the turn-off of IGBTs.

[0078] In addition, stray inductance also affects the turn-off tail current:

[0079] An increase in turn-off overvoltage causes the electric field within the IGBT to expand and remove more charge carriers, with the remaining charge carriers forming the tail current. If the stray inductance is too large, under high bus voltage, the excessively high voltage spikes cause the tail current to decrease or even disappear, resulting in strong turn-off oscillations, i.e., sudden turn-off, which has a significant impact on the IGBT's FS layer.

[0080] Based on the above conclusions, this application provides a method for identifying stray inductance on an IGBT, which can clearly identify the location of stray inductance in the IGBT, so as to reduce the stray inductance at that location in practical engineering. Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the insulated gate bipolar transistor in the converter is powered on and adjusted to a light-load operating state; a light-load distribution map of stray inductance in the converter is obtained using a magnetic display sticker set on a special busbar of the converter, wherein the so-called light-load distribution map refers to the distribution map of stray inductance when the converter is operating in a light-load state; based on the light-load distribution map and a pre-trained image converter, a corresponding predicted distribution map is obtained, wherein the so-called predicted distribution map refers to the distribution map of stray inductance when the converter is operating in other states (such as heavy-load state, normal operating state, and fault state, etc.); stray inductance is reduced or shielded based on the predicted distribution map.

[0081] As can be seen from the above description, the stray inductance identification method in the novel bidirectional DC / DC converter provided in this application can effectively identify the stray inductance in the novel bidirectional DC / DC converter, and can predict the stray inductance distribution of the IGBT under other operating conditions based on the stray inductance of the IGBT when it is running under light load, thereby providing a good reference for the subsequent installation of stray inductance shielding and reduction devices outside the IGBT.

[0082] The following provides a detailed explanation of steps S101 to S103.

[0083] Step S101: Power on the insulated gate bipolar transistor in the converter to a light-load operating state, and use the magnetic display sticker set on the special busbar of the converter to obtain the light-load distribution diagram of the stray inductance in the converter.

[0084] Understandably, a magnetic display sticker is applied to the flat wires and special busbars of the IGBT assembly. The IGBT, assembled in the previous step, is powered on and adjusted to a light-load operating state. The magnetic display sticker is observed statically for 15-30 minutes; it will then show the distribution of stray inductance, and this image is saved. After powering on and operating under rated conditions, the distribution of stray inductance is again displayed using the magnetic display sticker, and this image is saved again. This yields a set of comparative stray inductance distribution diagrams for light-load and rated-condition operation.

[0085] In a power system, a busbar refers to the copper or aluminum busbar connecting the main switch and the switches in each branch circuit within the electrical cabinet. Its surface is insulated, and its primary function is to serve as a conductor. A special-type busbar refers to a busbar customized for current new bidirectional DC / DC converters. Wrapping a magnetic display sticker around a group of IGBTs in a DC / DC converter can reveal the magnetic circuit around that group of IGBTs. Taking a photo of the magnetic display sticker allows for data entry into a computer.

[0086] As can be seen from the above description, the method for identifying stray inductance in a novel bidirectional DC / DC converter provided in this application can control the insulated gate bipolar transistor in the converter to be powered on to a light-load operating state, and use a magnetic display sticker set on the special busbar of the converter to obtain a light-load distribution map of stray inductance in the converter.

[0087] Step S102: Obtain the corresponding predicted distribution map based on the light load distribution map and the pre-trained image transformer.

[0088] It is understood that in this embodiment, the image features corresponding to the light load distribution map should be extracted first. Specific methods may include, but are not limited to:

[0089] Method 1: Take photos of key areas of the magnetic display sticker and then input them into the computer. Method 2: Quickly remove the magnetic display sticker, place it on a flat surface, and then take photos.

[0090] Figure 6 This is a specific embodiment of the method for identifying stray inductance in a novel bidirectional DC / DC converter, as described in this application.

[0091] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The steps for training the image transformer include:

[0092] S201: Power on the insulated gate bipolar transistor in the converter to a light-load operating state, and use the magnetic display sticker set on the special busbar of the converter to obtain the light-load training distribution map of the stray inductance in the converter.

[0093] S202: Control the insulated gate bipolar transistor to power on to the rated operating state, and use the magnetic display sticker to obtain the rated training distribution diagram of the stray inductance in the converter;

[0094] S203: Input the image features corresponding to the light-load training distribution map and the rated training distribution map into the image classification network for training to obtain the image transformer.

[0095] Among them, the effective value of current is generally small, the effective value of voltage is generally near the rated value, and the power passing through the DC / DC converter is generally small.

[0096] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, by setting different IGBT capacities and different IGBT connection methods, and repeating the process several times (e.g., more than 2000 times), several sets of stray inductance comparison diagrams of IGBT under light load operation and rated operating conditions under different capacities and connection methods can be obtained.

[0097] After accumulating comparative images, an image model can be trained to obtain the image features of the stray inductance distribution map of the input IGBT under light load conditions. This allows the output image converter to capture the features of the stray inductance distribution map of the IGBT under rated operating conditions. In some operating conditions, the IGBT can only operate under light load conditions and not under rated operating conditions for various reasons. In such cases, this image converter can be used to predict the stray inductance distribution of the IGBT under rated operating conditions.

[0098] The image model training process is described in detail below.

[0099] 6.1 A classification model is constructed using the ResNet50 network. Like other image classification networks, the ResNet50 network is a reliable image classification network. In the ResNet50 network, the 50 refers to 50 layers with weights, including 49 convolutional layers and 1 fully connected layer, excluding pooling layers and batch normalization (BN) layers. This classification model has inputs and outputs; each batch of data popped by the iterator serves as input, determining whether the electrical meter image is corrupted.

[0100] 6.2 Define the training function and start training, including model training, validation, and printing loss values. Generally, this is written as the following code snippet and implemented in a loop.

[0101] for eval_x,eval_y in eval_loader:

[0102] outs = model(eval_x)

[0103] loss = loss_func(outs, eval_y)

[0104] eval_loss += loss

[0105] Model training consists of several epochs; this example uses 20 epochs. The overall model training process is printed as follows:

[0106] ----------epoch:0,train_loss:0.729,eval_loss:0.773,eval_acc:0.734-------

[0107] ---------epoch:1,train_loss:0.408,eval_loss:0.367,eval_acc:0.859-------

[0118] ---------epoch:12,train_loss:0.057,eval_loss:0.444,eval_acc:0.938-------

[0119] ---------epoch:13,train_loss:0.068,eval_loss:0.580,eval_acc:0.922-------

[0122] ---------epoch:16,train_loss:0.031,eval_loss:0.545,eval_acc:0.938-------

[0123] ---------epoch:17,train_loss:0.031,eval_loss:0.511,eval_acc:0.953-------

[0124] ---------epoch:18,train_loss:0.039,eval_loss:0.436,eval_acc:0.938-------

[0125] ---------epoch:19,train_loss:0.049,eval_loss:0.508,eval_acc:0.906-------

[0126] 6.3 Plot the loss function curves. The vertical axis includes the curve of the loss value decreasing during training on the training set (train_loss), the curve of the loss value decreasing during training on the validation set (eval_loss), and the overall validation accuracy (eval_acc). We can see that the accuracy is highest in the 17th round, so we can choose the model trained in the 17th round. After training, save the obtained network model weight parameters.

[0127] As can be seen from the above description, the method for identifying stray inductance in a novel bidirectional DC / DC converter provided in this application can be used to train an image converter.

[0128] Figure 7 This is a specific embodiment of the method for identifying stray inductance in a novel bidirectional DC / DC converter, as described in this application.

[0129] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 The step of training the image transformer further includes:

[0130] S301: Adjust the capacity and connection method of the insulated gate bipolar transistor;

[0131] S302: Based on the insulated gate bipolar transistor after adjusting the capacity and connection method, obtain the light-load training change distribution diagram and the rated training change distribution diagram of the stray inductance in the converter.

[0132] S303: Input the image features corresponding to the light-load training change distribution map and the rated training change distribution map into the image classification network for training to obtain the image transformer.

[0133] It is understandable that steps S301 to S303 can be interpreted as a process of further training the model after steps S201 to S203. This includes adjusting the capacitance and connection method of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). Specific adjustment methods may include, but are not limited to: using computer simulation methods to change the capacitance parameters of the IGBT and changing the connection method of the IGBT.

[0134] After adjusting the capacity and connection method of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor, the distribution map of stray inductance in the converter is further obtained. Specifically, the distribution map of stray inductance under light load training and rated operating conditions is obtained. Next, image features are extracted from the light load training and rated operating conditions. The extraction method is described in steps S401 to S402. The extracted image features are input into an image classification network or into the image converter generated in step S203 to further adjust the image converter generated in step S203, thereby obtaining an image converter with better prediction performance.

[0135] As can be seen from the above description, the method for identifying stray inductance in a novel bidirectional DC / DC converter provided in this application can train and optimize the image converter.

[0136] Figure 8 This is a specific embodiment of the method for identifying stray inductance in a novel bidirectional DC / DC converter, as described in this application.

[0137] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 The step of obtaining the corresponding predicted distribution map based on the light load distribution map and the pre-trained image transformer includes:

[0138] S401: Perform image feature analysis on the light load distribution map to obtain the corresponding light load image features;

[0139] Understandably, the lightly loaded image features can be obtained by following these steps.

[0140] The first step is to record waveforms of the DC / DC converter under light load conditions, obtain light load images, and store them in a computer.

[0141] The second step involves using image editing software to crop the image edges and using a bandpass filter to remove background noise. This yields image information focusing on voltage and current waveforms under light load conditions.

[0142] The third step is to compare the results of the second step, analyze the outliers and bad pixels, and remove the outliers and bad pixels.

[0143] The fourth step is to compare the results of the third step, analyze the reasonable features of the light load image, such as the effective value of current and the effective value of voltage, and mark the reasonable features.

[0144] S402: Input the lightly loaded image features into the image transformer to obtain the corresponding predicted distribution map.

[0145] It is understandable that a light-load image has at least the following characteristics: a smaller effective current value, an effective voltage value near the rated value, and a smaller power passing through the DC / DC converter.

[0146] In practice, there are many tools available for image feature analysis, and this application does not limit the scope of such tools. In the embodiments of this application, image features include, but are not limited to, the effective value of current, the effective value of voltage, and the power passing through the DC / DC converter.

[0147] As can be seen from the above description, the stray inductance identification method in the novel bidirectional DC / DC converter provided in this application can obtain the corresponding predicted distribution map based on the light load distribution map and the pre-trained image converter.
