Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen production power supplies, and particularly to a hydrogen production power supply circuit based on a first-stage high-frequency conversion. Background Art

[0002] The production and utilization of hydrogen energy is a major trend in the development of the world's energy. Hydrogen production systems using renewable energy power such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation are the future development direction of hydrogen production. However, the electric energy generated by new energy cannot be directly applied to electrolytic hydrogen production, and a hydrogen production power supply is required for conversion in the middle. As the core of a new energy hydrogen production system, the hydrogen production power supply needs to have the capabilities of low voltage and large current, long-term stable operation, and low output current ripple. When using alternating current generated by renewable energy sources such as wind turbines to supply power to a hydrogen production device, an AC / DC converter is required to perform AC-DC conversion to provide the direct current required by the electrolyzer.

[0003] Currently, the converter most widely used in industrial hydrogen production is the 12-pulse thyristor full-bridge rectifier. As Figure 1 shown, the primary side of the transformer uses a delta single-winding input, and the secondary side uses a delta / star double-winding output, thereby achieving a 30° phase difference in the three-phase input voltage. This converter is realized by connecting a balance reactor in parallel and can be applied to high-power hydrogen production. The grid-side current of this topology mainly consists of 12k±1 harmonics, and the output current mainly contains 12k harmonics. There are still problems such as low power factor, large harmonic current on the AC side of the power grid, and large ripple current on the DC side, which reduces the electrolytic hydrogen production efficiency.

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, rather than all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0063] It should be noted that for the sake of convenience in description, the switching MOSFET is used as a representative of the controllable (turn-on and turn-off) switching tube in the embodiments of the present invention, but the switching tube in the present invention is not limited to the MOSFET. The MOSFET is taken as an example for illustration. The first end of the MOSFET refers to the drain, the second end refers to the source, and the control end refers to the gate. A drive control signal is applied to the control end of each switching tube in the embodiments of the present invention. For the sake of simplicity, it will not be elaborated hereinafter. The power switching tube in the embodiments of the present invention can also be implemented by other controllable switching tube devices other than the MOSFET, such as the IGBT. At the same time, in the embodiments of the present invention, to ensure the normal operation of each switching device, a freewheeling diode needs to be connected in parallel to each switching device. The parallel connection direction of the freewheeling diode is related to the type of the switching device, and those skilled in the art can set it according to the type of the switching device, which is not limited herein. If not specified, the switching device is default to include a freewheeling diode, and it will be pointed out in this embodiment in special cases.

[0064] The embodiments of the present application provide a hydrogen production power supply circuit based on a first-stage high-frequency conversion, which solves the technical problems of the existing 12-pulse thyristor rectification, such as low power factor, large harmonic current on the AC side power grid, and large ripple current on the DC side, and realizes the suppression of the harmonic current on the AC side power grid and the reduction of the ripple current on the DC side while improving the power factor of the rectification circuit, thereby improving the electrolytic hydrogen production efficiency.

[0065] The overall idea of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0066] AC / DC hydrogen production power supplies can be mainly classified into single-stage, multi-stage, and hybrid parallel types according to their structures. Single-stage topologies can be divided into uncontrolled converters, semi-controlled converters, and PWM fully controlled converters according to the commutation method. The semiconductors used in the first two are diodes and thyristors respectively, and conduction or turn-off is naturally achieved in the power frequency cycle; while the latter uses expensive fully controlled devices with weak large current tolerance, resulting in reduced reliability and increased costs. Multi-stage topologies refer to the combination of different types of topologies with single-stage ones to make up for the deficiencies of single-stage topologies. Currently, the most widely used topology is the combination of an AC / DC converter and a DC / DC step-down transformer, which can achieve functions such as wide-range adjustment of the output voltage, effective reduction of the output ripple current, and improvement of the dynamic response speed. The hybrid parallel topology uses a parallel structure of a thyristor converter and a PWM converter. Since the PWM converter can be used as an active power filter to compensate for the grid-side harmonics of the thyristor converter, the harmonic distortion rate of the grid-side current is effectively reduced.

[0067] As Figure 1 shown, the 12-pulse thyristor full-bridge rectifier is the most widely used topology in industrial hydrogen production at present. The grid-side current of this topology is mainly 12k±1 harmonics, and the output current mainly contains 12k harmonics. There are still problems such as low power factor, large AC-side grid harmonic current, large DC-side ripple current, and slow dynamic response speed. And generally, when in use, due to its too narrow voltage adjustable range, a rectifier transformer device with on-load voltage regulation is usually installed before the thyristor rectification. The whole set of equipment is expensive and bulky.

[0068] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 Figure is a traditional AC+DC two-stage architecture and a typical implementation circuit of it. The DC voltage obtained by its rectification is then subjected to step-down conversion. Compared with the previous scheme, it can achieve functions such as wide-range adjustment of the output voltage, effective reduction of the output ripple current, and improvement of the dynamic response speed. However, it is usually only applicable to medium and small power scenarios, and there is still room for further improvement in its power efficiency.

[0069] As can be seen from the above description, the original mainstream technical solution is 12-pulse thyristor rectification, which has problems such as low power factor, large harmonic current on the AC side of the power grid, large ripple current on the DC side, and slow dynamic response speed, thus reducing the electrolytic hydrogen production efficiency. At the same time, due to the narrow adjustable voltage range of thyristor rectification, the power supply load range is limited, so the rectifier transformer device needs to have an on-load tap-changing function, which increases the cost of the whole device. And this power supply solution is the traditional mainstream solution for high-power electrolysis industry. The thyristor works in the power frequency mode, and the power supply efficiency is lower than that of the new electrolytic power supply solution, and the annual power consumption of enterprises is high. Although the traditional AC+DC two-stage architecture solution can achieve functions such as wide-range adjustment of the output voltage, effective reduction of the output ripple current, and improvement of the dynamic response speed, it is usually only applicable to medium and small power scenarios, and there is still room for further improvement in its power supply efficiency.

[0070] To solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention adopts a high-frequency electrolytic power supply with a main circuit topology of a transformer + three independent 1.5-level AC / DC conversion modules. While improving the power factor of the rectifier circuit, it realizes the suppression of harmonic current on the AC side of the power grid and reduces the ripple current on the DC side, thereby improving the electrolytic hydrogen production efficiency. And the topology adopts high-frequency fully controlled devices and one-level energy conversion, which can improve the power supply efficiency and reduce the power loss, thus greatly reducing the power consumption cost of high-power electrolysis enterprises.

[0071] To better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific embodiments.

[0072] Embodiment 1:

[0073] The embodiment of the present invention provides a hydrogen production power supply circuit based on one-level high-frequency conversion, as Figure 4 shown. The circuit includes a pre-stage adjustable transformer, a first AC / DC conversion module, a second AC / DC conversion module, and a third AC / DC conversion module; the first AC / DC conversion module includes a first AC / DC rectifier, a first DC / DC step-down converter, and a first capacitor; the second AC / DC conversion module includes a second AC / DC rectifier, a second DC / DC step-down converter, and a second capacitor; the third AC / DC conversion module includes a third AC / DC rectifier, a third DC / DC step-down converter, and a third capacitor;

[0074] Among them, the pre-stage adjustable transformer includes a primary winding and a secondary winding. The primary winding is connected in a Δ shape, and the secondary winding includes three independent first side windings v 1, a second side winding v 2, and a third side winding v3; The first end of the first side winding is connected to the first end of the first AC / DC rectifier; the second end of the first side winding is connected to the third end of the first AC / DC rectifier; the first end of the second side winding is connected to the first end of the second AC / DC rectifier; the second end of the second side winding is connected to the third end of the second AC / DC rectifier; the first end of the third side winding is connected to the first end of the third AC / DC rectifier; the second end of the third side winding is connected to the third end of the third AC / DC rectifier;

[0075] The second end of the first AC / DC rectifier is connected to the first input terminal of the first DC / DC buck converter, and the fourth end of the first AC / DC rectifier is connected to the second input terminal of the first DC / DC buck converter; a first capacitor is connected between the first AC / DC rectifier and the first DC / DC buck converter;

[0076] The second end of the second AC / DC rectifier is connected to the first input terminal of the second DC / DC buck converter, and the fourth end of the second AC / DC rectifier is connected to the second input terminal of the second DC / DC buck converter; a second capacitor is connected between the second AC / DC rectifier and the second DC / DC buck converter;

[0077] The second end of the third AC / DC rectifier is connected to the first input terminal of the third DC / DC buck converter, and the fourth end of the third AC / DC rectifier is connected to the second input terminal of the third DC / DC buck converter; a third capacitor is connected between the third AC / DC rectifier and the third DC / DC buck converter;

[0078] The first output terminals of the three DC / DC buck converters are connected in parallel and then connected to the first end of the DC load;

[0079] The second output terminals of the three DC / DC buck converters are connected in parallel and then connected to the second end of the DC load.

[0080] The transformer + three independent AC / DC rectifiers and DC / DC buck converters proposed in the embodiments of the present invention use high-frequency power electronic converters to replace the original thyristor rectification scheme, which can reduce the ripple of the output current, suppress the interference of harmonic currents, facilitate the control of various factors in the electrolysis production process, ensure the stability of the current density, thereby realizing the improvement of the electrolysis efficiency and increasing the output of electrolytic products.

[0081] Embodiment 2:

[0082] A typical implementation circuit of the architecture of Embodiment 1 is as Figure 5As shown in the figure. The pre-stage transformer converts the three-phase AC voltage transmitted by the power grid into three independent single-phase AC voltages, and then the required DC electrolysis voltage is obtained through the 1.5-level AC / DC conversion module for each phase (that is, the AC / DC rectifier and the DC / DC step-down converter adopt a two-stage structure, but only one stage works in the power frequency mode at the same time). The three-phase interleaved parallel connection of the output can reduce the current stress of each switching tube while achieving the large electrolysis current required for electrolysis production, improve the reliability of the power supply system, and facilitate the selection of devices such as switching tubes. By adjusting the SPWM modulation ratio of the rectifier circuit and the duty cycle of the chopper circuit, the DC electrolysis voltage required for different electrolysis stages can be obtained to adapt to loads with different voltage levels.

[0083] It should be noted that the capacitors (C1, C2, C3) between the AC / DC rectifier and the DC / DC step-down converter are high-frequency thin-film capacitors. Compared with the electrolytic capacitors used in the traditional scheme, the capacitance value, volume are reduced, and the cost is reduced.

[0084] Taking a single phase as an example, the working principle of the 1.5-level AC / DC conversion module is introduced. The 1.5-level AC / DC conversion module is as Figure 6 shown. It can be seen that the converter is composed of a pre-stage PWM rectifier bridge and a post-stage chopper circuit. Q1-Q6 are switching tubes (it should be noted here that Q6 is a switching tube rather than a diode), C is the bus capacitor, L o and C f are the chopper output inductor and the filter capacitor respectively. The inductor L plays the role of filtering and charging / discharging energy in the circuit. In the specific implementation process, this inductor is omitted, and the AC / DC rectifier can still achieve the rectification function.

[0085] The waveform of the bus capacitor voltage of the converter is as Figure 7 shown. The main working principle of the topology is as follows: when |V in | < V o , the pre-stage rectifier bridge works in the high-frequency switching mode, rectifies the AC input V in into the DC voltage V o for output, and the post-stage Buck circuit (i.e., the DC / DC step-down converter) is directly connected, that is, Q5 is always on; when |V in | > V o , the pre-stage H4 is directly connected, that is, H4 works in the power frequency (V in > 0, Q1 and Q4 are directly connected, Q2 and Q3 are turned off; V in < 0, Q2 and Q3 are directly connected, Q1 and Q4 are turned off), and the post-stage Buck circuit performs high-frequency chopping to obtain the DC output voltage V o . The topology adopts a two-stage structure, but only one stage works in the power frequency mode at the same time, so it is called 1.5-level conversion, and the energy is one-level conversion.

[0086] In summary, compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0087] 1. The transformer + three independent AC / DC rectifiers and DC / DC step-down converters proposed in the embodiments of the present invention use high-frequency power electronic converters to replace the original thyristor rectification scheme, which can reduce the ripple of the output current, suppress the interference of harmonic currents, facilitate the control of various factors in the electrolysis production process, ensure the stability of the current density, and thus improve the electrolysis efficiency and increase the output of electrolytic products.

[0088] 2. The transformer + 1.5-level AC / DC conversion module proposed in the embodiments of the present invention causes less fluctuations in factors affecting electrolysis production such as the current density in the electrolytic cell and the concentration of the electrolytic cell solution compared with the traditional transformer + thyristor scheme, which is more conducive to the stable control of various factors in the electrolysis production process. While improving the hydrogen production efficiency, it can also improve its purity. The 1.5-level AC / DC conversion module is actually a first-level conversion of energy, which can further improve the power supply efficiency, increase the utilization rate of electric energy, reduce the electricity cost, and at the same time, the capacitors used are high-frequency thin-film capacitors, and compared with the electrolytic capacitors in the traditional scheme, the capacitance value, volume, and cost are significantly reduced, achieving the purpose of cost reduction and efficiency increase.
