Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of magnetic levitation bearing control technology, and more specifically, relates to a three-level power electronic controller and control method for magnetic levitation bearings. Background Technology
[0002] Active magnetic bearings possess excellent characteristics such as frictionless operation, low loss, and noiselessness, and are widely used in high-speed rotating machinery. The magnetic bearing controller primarily controls the winding current of the magnetic bearing through the switching action of a power electronic converter, thereby controlling the rotor position. Therefore, the power electronic converter plays a crucial role in the static and dynamic performance of the magnetic bearing system.
[0003] When a magnetic levitation bearing system's rotor is levitated, it is subject to external mechanical disturbances. To counteract these disturbances and maintain the rotor's levitation in a central position, its controller must provide a high current response speed to quickly offset external winding forces. Therefore, the current loop bandwidth of the magnetic levitation bearing controller becomes a decisive factor in its disturbance rejection performance. On the other hand, in equipment such as high-power energy storage flywheels, air-cooled fans, or turbine machinery, the rotor weight of magnetic levitation bearings reaches tons or more. To increase the load-bearing capacity of these heavy-duty magnetic bearings, a stronger magnetic field is required, typically resulting in larger winding inductance and rated winding current. To improve the current response speed and disturbance rejection capability of heavy-duty magnetic bearings, the power electronic converter, acting as a power amplifier, needs to operate at higher voltage levels. Consequently, it faces problems such as high voltage stress on switching devices and large current ripple. Therefore, it is urgent to optimize its power electronic controller to meet the application requirements of high voltage and high dynamic response. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Furthermore, each reverse current winding arm has three operating modes, including: the fourth mode, S... 1b S 2b All are activated; fifth mode, S 1b Activate, S 2b Shutdown; sixth mode, S 1b S 2b All are turned off.
[0017] The fourth mode is the charging mode, where the midpoint of the bridge arm is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, and the reverse current increases.

[0020] By adjusting the duty cycle of the three modes, reverse current control of the winding can be achieved.
[0021] Furthermore, the shared bridge arm includes a first controllable switch S 1cm The second controllable switch S 2cm The third controllable switch S 3cm The fourth controllable switch S 4cm Four anti-parallel unidirectional conduction devices D 1cm D 2cm D 3cm D 4cm A capacitor; S 1cm The first terminal is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, S 1cm The second terminal, the first terminal of the capacitor, S 2cm The first three ends are connected, S 2cm The second end serves as the midpoint of the bridge arm and is connected to the second ends of all 2N windings, S 3cm The first three ends are connected, S 3cm The second terminal, the second terminal of the capacitor, S 4cm The first three ends are connected, S 4cmThe second end of the switch is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.
