Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of frequency converter technology, specifically relating to the main circuit and control method of a bypassable high-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development and progress of my country's power industry, the application prospects of frequency converter technology in the domestic power system are very broad. Moreover, the space and efficiency advantages brought by frequency converters have led to their increasing market application. High-voltage frequency converters, especially those with voltage levels from 3.3kV to 10kV, eliminate the full-power phase-shifting transformer, which not only improves overall efficiency but also reduces the space occupied by the equipment. However, current high-voltage frequency converters generally use diode rectification, operating in two quadrants. This means the frequency converter can only drive the motor in either forward or reverse direction, making it unsuitable for motor-generated power. Furthermore, power unit redundancy significantly reduces power output, limiting its application. Additionally, the voltage and current harmonics generated by diode rectification exceed standard values, affecting other equipment in the power supply system and, in severe cases, even causing other equipment to malfunction. These problems are particularly prominent in applications with small grid capacity and a high proportion of power from diode rectifiers. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a main circuit and control method for a bypassable high-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a main circuit of a bypassable high-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter, comprising: a high-voltage motor containing 3×M identical power units, an input reactor, an input circuit breaker, an input contactor, a pre-charge resistor, and 3×M independent coils;
[0005] The power grid input terminal is connected to three input circuit breakers, each phase's input circuit breaker is connected to an input contactor, and each phase's input contactor is connected in parallel with a pre-charging resistor; each phase's input contactor is connected to an input reactor; each phase's input reactor is connected to M power units connected in series, and the output of each power unit is connected to the corresponding independent coil of the motor.
[0006] The power unit includes a rectifier circuit, an inverter circuit, a DC filter module, and a DC voltage detection module. The rectifier circuit and inverter circuit of the power unit have the same structure, and the output of the inverter circuit is connected to both ends of the motor winding coil. When the power unit fails, the controller controls the rectifier circuit and the open-circuit inverter circuit to bypass the current power unit.
[0007] Furthermore, the controller includes a rectifier controller and an inverter controller. The rectifier controller controls the part of the frequency converter that connects to the power grid and the rectifier circuit of the power unit, and stabilizes the DC bus voltage of the power unit. The inverter controller is used to control the inverter circuit of the power unit and work with the load motor to achieve motor drive.
[0008] Furthermore, the rectifier controller and the rectifier circuit of the power unit are connected by optical fiber, and the inverter controller and the inverter circuit of the power unit are connected by optical fiber. The rectifier controller and the inverter controller achieve interlocking for start and stop through signal connection. Each power unit is equipped with a transmitting optical fiber and a receiving optical fiber. The transmitting optical fiber sends the drive pulse signal, power-on signal, reset signal and synchronization signal output by the rectifier controller or inverter controller to the power unit.
[0009] Furthermore, except for the R terminal of the first power unit which is connected to the input reactor, the R terminals of the remaining power units are all connected to the S terminal of the previous power unit, and the S terminals of the last three-phase power units are connected together to form a common point.
[0010] Secondly, the present invention provides a control method for a bypassable high-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter, comprising:
[0011] Power-on state: The rectifier controller receives the power-on command from the frequency converter, closes the input circuit breaker, charges the power unit through the pre-charging resistor, and after the voltage on the DC filter module capacitor of the power unit reaches the preset value, it closes the input contactor. At this time, the frequency converter is in the power-on state.
[0012] Ready state: The rectifier controller collects the input three-phase high-voltage system voltage and current, as well as the DC bus voltage of all power units, to drive the switches of the power unit rectifier circuits, controlling the switches to maintain operation. The power unit bus voltage is basically stable, and the DC bus voltage amplitude is consistent among the power units in each phase. At this time, the inverter is in a ready state, waiting for the inverter to start.
[0013] Operating status: After receiving the inverter's operating command, the inverter controller controls the inverter circuit of the power unit to start working; the inverter controller collects the DC bus voltage and output current of all power units, generates a three-phase modulation wave, and generates the drive signal of the power unit's inverter circuit after being compared and controlled by each power unit respectively.
[0014] Fault status: If a power unit of the inverter or a winding of the motor fails, the inverter controller blocks the inverter output of the faulty unit, opens the corresponding motor winding, and adjusts the voltage phase of the remaining windings so that the magnetic field of the motor remains a complete circular magnetic field. After the inverter is blocked, the input power of the power unit becomes zero, and the rectifier controller controls the input terminal of the rectifier circuit of the power unit to be short-circuited.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It provides a bypassable high-voltage four-quadrant frequency converter, which can solve the problem of large harmonics in the grid-side voltage and current caused by diode rectification affecting the operation of other equipment. Furthermore, when applied to potential energy type motor loads, it can operate within the four-quadrant range, sending the energy from the motor feedback system back to the grid. When a part of the frequency converter or motor fails, the faulty part can be bypassed, improving the reliability of the frequency converter. The power unit structure of this invention is simple and highly modular, making it easy to expand, replace, and maintain in practical applications. Attached Figure Description

The rectifier circuit and inverter circuit of the power unit have the same structure, and the output of the inverter circuit is connected to both ends of the motor winding coil. When the power unit fails, the controller controls the rectifier circuit and the open-circuit inverter circuit to bypass the current power unit.
[0024] like Figure 1 The high-voltage bypassable four-quadrant frequency converter topology includes: an input circuit breaker QF1, three-phase pre-charge resistors R1, R2, and R3, an input contactor KM1, a three-phase input reactor L1, 3×M power units, and a motor with 3×M windings. The power units are arranged sequentially, and the connection between the power unit outputs and the motor coils is polarized, requiring a one-to-one correspondence to ensure the integrity of the motor's internal magnetic field. The rectifier circuit of the power unit is identical to the inverter circuit. The output terminals U and V of the inverter circuit are connected to the two ends of the motor winding coils, providing the required AC voltage to the motor according to control requirements. The rectifier circuit is responsible for stabilizing the DC bus voltage of the unit, filtering high-frequency voltage fluctuations caused by the switching of the self-healing thin-film capacitors, and storing the reactive power of the motor windings.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the power unit provided in this embodiment of the invention operates in a four-quadrant mode, including a rectifier circuit, a DC filter circuit, a DC voltage detection circuit, and an inverter circuit.
[0026] It should be noted that the number of power units M in the inverter integrated machine topology provided by the present invention is determined according to the grid voltage level and the selected switching device voltage level.
[0027] Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, the controller includes a rectifier controller and an inverter controller, wherein the rectifier circuit of the inverter unit and the power unit are controlled to stabilize the DC bus voltage of the power unit and provide a stable and balanced voltage for the inverter, and the inverter controller is used to control the inverter circuit of the power unit to drive the motor in conjunction with the load motor.
[0028] Specifically, the rectifier controller collects the DC bus voltage value, the amplitude and phase of the high-voltage input voltage, and the three-phase current of all power units, and provides drive signals for the power units. The rectifier controller provided by this invention is used to stabilize the DC bus voltage of the power units and ensure that the bus voltages of each power unit are basically consistent. The inverter controller is used to control the H-bridge inverter section of the power unit, outputting the desired voltage value to the individual coil windings of the motor, forming a rotating magnetic field within the motor to make the motor rotate.
[0029] Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, the rectifier controller and the rectifier circuit of the power unit are connected by optical fiber, and the inverter controller and the inverter circuit of the power unit are connected by optical fiber. The rectifier controller and the inverter controller achieve interlocking for start and stop through signal connection; each power unit is provided with a transmitting optical fiber and a receiving optical fiber, wherein the transmitting optical fiber sends the drive pulse signal, power-on signal, reset signal and synchronization signal output by the rectifier controller or the inverter controller to the power unit.
[0030] Specifically, the power unit is equipped with two optical fibers: one for receiving and the other for transmitting. The rectifier controller or inverter controller controls the power unit through this optical fiber. For example, the transmitting optical fiber sends the H-bridge drive pulse signal, power-on signal, reset signal, and synchronization signal output by the rectifier controller to the rectifier H-bridge section of the power unit to stabilize the DC bus voltage of the power unit and ensure that the bus voltages of each power unit are basically consistent.
[0031] Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, except that the R terminal of the first power unit is connected to the input reactor, the R terminals of the remaining power units are all connected to the S terminal of the previous power unit, and the S terminals of the last three-phase power units are connected together to form a common point.
[0032] Specifically, for example Figure 1 Each phase has M power units connected in series. The R terminal of unit A1 is connected to the input reactor terminal, the S terminal of unit A1 is connected to the R terminal of unit A2, the S terminal of unit A2 is connected to the R terminal of unit A3, and so on. M-1 S-terminal and unit A M The R terminal is connected. The structure and connection method of the three-phase power units A, B, and C are the same. Each phase unit A M B M C M The S-ends are connected together to form the common point of the phase unit.
[0033] In addition to the frequency converter integrated machine provided in the above embodiments, this invention also provides a control method for the above frequency converter integrated machine, specifically including the following steps:
[0034] Power-on state: The rectifier controller receives the power-on command from the frequency converter, closes the input circuit breaker, and charges the power unit through the pre-charging resistor. After the voltage on the DC filter module capacitor of the power unit reaches the preset value, the input contactor is closed, and the frequency converter is in the power-on state.
[0035] Ready state: The rectifier controller collects the input three-phase high-voltage system voltage and current, as well as the DC bus voltage of all power units, to drive the switches of the power unit rectifier circuits, controlling the switches to maintain operation. The power unit bus voltage is basically stable, and the DC bus voltage amplitude is consistent among the power units in each phase. At this time, the inverter is in a ready state, waiting for the inverter to start.
[0036] Operating status: After receiving the inverter's operating command, the inverter controller controls the inverter circuit of the power unit to start working; the inverter controller collects the DC bus voltage and output current of all power units, generates a three-phase modulation wave, and generates the drive signal of the power unit's inverter circuit after being compared and controlled by each power unit respectively.
[0037] Specifically, with Figure 1 For example, during operation, circuit breaker QF1 is first closed, and the DC filter modules of the 3×M power units are charged through the three-phase pre-charge resistors R1, R2, R3, and the three-phase input reactor L1. After the DC bus voltage of the power unit exceeds the designed value, the input contactor KM1 is closed, putting the frequency converter into a ready state. After power-on, the voltage equalization circuit inside the power unit is put into use. When the power loss in each power unit is different, the loss of the voltage equalization resistor is greater than the loss of the unit itself, achieving the purpose of static balancing of the DC bus voltage among the power units.
[0038] Fault status: such as Figure 3 As shown, if a power unit of the inverter or a winding of the motor fails, the inverter controller blocks the inverter output of the faulty unit, opens the corresponding motor winding, and adjusts the voltage phase of the remaining windings so that the magnetic field of the motor remains a complete circular magnetic field. After the inverter is blocked, the input power of the power unit becomes zero, and the rectifier controller controls the input terminal of the rectifier circuit of the power unit to be short-circuited.
