Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of power technology, and in particular to a protection method and device for a photovoltaic power generation system. Background Technology
[0002] The DC-side voltage of a photovoltaic (PV) inverter in a photovoltaic (PV) power plant is determined by the PV modules, typically 1000VDC or 1500VDC.

[0036] The rectifier control circuit is a circuit that controls the operation of the circuit breaker, which is installed on the three phases of the inverter connection terminal to disconnect the inverter and the circuit connection terminal when needed.
[0037] In the embodiments of this disclosure, there are various methods for controlling the operation of the rectifier control circuit, and no limitation is made here.
[0038] Optionally, when an inverter malfunctions, the control rectifier control circuit can detect the fault or the inverter stops working and enter the working state.

Alternatively, a ground fault detection circuit can be built, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0047] Optionally, the starting condition can also be that when the current in the rectifier control circuit reaches a preset starting current and the starting current continues for a preset time, the circuit breaker starting condition is considered met. It should be noted that the preset time is pre-set and can be changed according to actual design needs; no limitations are imposed here.
[0048] Optionally, the activation condition may also be that the circuit breaker receives a preset electrical signal sent by the rectifier control circuit, thereby performing a circuit breaking operation. This preset electrical signal can be generated and transmitted by a specific device, and no limitation is made here.
[0049] In this embodiment, when an inverter malfunctions, the rectifier control circuit is first activated. Then, the current of the rectifier control circuit is acquired, and finally, the circuit breaker is controlled based on the current. Therefore, by setting up the rectifier circuit, the connection between the inverter and its connection point can be disconnected in the event of an inverter malfunction. This prevents secondary accidents, protects the inverter and its connection point, improves the safety of the photovoltaic power generation system, and eliminates the need for manual disconnection, reducing operational risks and costs.
[0050] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a rectifier control circuit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The rectifier control circuit includes a switching element, a control element, and a circuit element. The circuit element includes a first insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), a second IGBT, a third IGBT, and a fourth IGBT. The control element is connected to the circuit element.
[0051] In this configuration, the first terminal of the switching element is connected to any two phases between the inverter connection terminals. The second terminal of the switching element is connected to the first terminal of the first IGBT and the first terminal of the second IGBT. The second terminal of the first IGBT is connected to the first terminal of the third IGBT. The second terminal of the second IGBT is connected to the first terminal of the fourth IGBT. A current transformer and a resistor are connected between the connection points of the second terminals of the first and third IGBTs and the connection points of the second and fourth IGBTs. The second terminals of the third and fourth IGBTs are each connected to any two phases between the inverter connection terminals. The phase connected to the second terminals of the third and fourth IGBTs is different from the phase connected to the first terminal of the switching element.
[0052] In this embodiment, the resistance value of the resistor in the rectifier control circuit is preset and can be changed according to actual design needs; no limitation is made here. It should be noted that the resistor can be a fixed resistor or an adjustable resistor. When selecting the resistor, it is necessary to ensure that the allowable power is greater than the circuit power I. set 2 t b This ensures the safe operation of the resistor. Where I set For the rectifier control circuit, t b I is the minimum operating time corresponding to the operating current. set 2 t b The heat generated over time.
[0053] In this embodiment, the operating current of the circuit breaker on the opposite side is I1, and the typical instantaneous tripping range is (4-12)I1. The instantaneous tripping range is defined as K2. For example, it can trip instantaneously when the current exceeds 1.6kA to 4.8kA. This value is close to the short-circuit current of the IGBT, therefore, such current must be avoided in the circuit. I can be... set The short-time operating range is defined as (2-3)I1, and K3 is defined as the short-time operating range to prevent the first IGBT-D1, the second IGBT-D2, the third IGBT-D3, and the fourth IGBT-D4 from malfunctioning due to excessive current. The short-circuit current of the corresponding IGBT can be consulted to ensure circuit safety. That is, multiply by a coefficient less than 1 to obtain I. set The maximum value of I set.max =K1I igbt.sc , among which, I igbt.sc为 The short-circuit current of the IGBT. Therefore, the resistance value in the rectifier control circuit can be selected using the following formula:
[0054] R>(U / I1) / K2, and R<(U / I1) / K3
[0055] The normal operating voltage of the photovoltaic inverter is U.
[0056] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the switching element is closed, the rectifier control circuit operates in rectifier mode, switching on and off the first IGBT-D1, the second IGBT-D2, the third IGBT-D3, and the fourth IGBT-D4 respectively. The automatic control logic of the rectifier is not constrained, and the operating current is set to I. set The action time is set to t. set When the circuit is activated, control I2 to I. set Run t set After that, the operating conditions of the circuit breaker on the other side will be met, thus tripping the faulty circuit.
[0057] It should be noted that the power supply for the rectifier control circuit in this embodiment can be an external independent power supply, such as an externally connected motor or battery.
[0058] In one possible implementation, the control element includes a power supply element that provides power to the rectifier control circuit.
[0059] In the above embodiments, when the inverter malfunctions, the rectifier control circuit is activated, and the operation can also be achieved through... Figure 4 To explain further, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another protection method for a photovoltaic power generation system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in the figure:
[0060] S401 When an inverter malfunctions, the switching element closes, and the control element controls the first insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and the third insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) or the second insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) and the fourth insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) to form a circuit between any two phases of the inverter connection terminal.
[0061] S402, in response to the circuit meeting the preset current, controls the circuit breaker to disconnect the three phases of the inverter connection terminal.
[0062] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the preset current can be obtained by first obtaining the operating current of the circuit breaker, which is the minimum current at which the circuit breaker can work normally, and then multiplying the operating current by a preset range as the preset current.
[0063] It should be noted that this preset range is pre-defined and can be changed according to actual design needs; no limitations are imposed here. In one possible implementation, the preset range could be 4-12.
[0064] It should be noted that the operating current is generally less than the rated current of the IGBT, and the current value controlling the rectifier control circuit can be determined based on the rated current and operating current of the IGBT. For example, the IGBT can be... set It is determined to be (2-3)I1, and the short-time action range is defined as K3 to prevent the first IGBT, second IGBT, third IGBT and fourth IGBT from malfunctioning due to excessive current.
[0065] In this embodiment, when an inverter malfunctions, the switching element closes, and the control element controls the first and third IGBTs or the second and fourth IGBTs to form a loop between any two phases of the inverter connection. In response to the loop meeting a preset current, the circuit breaker is controlled to disconnect the three phases of the inverter connection. Thus, by setting a control rectifier control circuit, power can still be supplied to the circuit breaker even when there is a potential open circuit at the inverter connection. Furthermore, by setting the operating current, precise control of the circuit breaker's disconnection timing can be achieved.
[0066] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in order to prevent the inverter and inverter connection terminal from being unable to be disconnected due to circuit breaker failure, the operating status of the circuit breaker is also monitored.
[0067] In one possible implementation, when the circuit current reaches a preset current, and the duration of the preset current is greater than a first preset time but less than or equal to a second preset time, and the circuit breaker fails to disconnect the inverter and the inverter connection terminal, an error alarm is triggered.
[0068] In one possible implementation, when the circuit current reaches a preset current and the duration of the preset current is greater than a second preset time, and the circuit breaker fails to disconnect the inverter and the inverter connection terminal, a resistance alarm is triggered and the switching element is disconnected.
[0069] It should be noted that the second preset time is longer than the first preset time. The first and second preset times are pre-set and can be changed according to actual design needs. They can also be set according to the actual circuit breaker. No restrictions are imposed here.
