Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shipbuilding, and in particular to a method for load testing a direct current power distribution system. Background Art
[0002] In the shipbuilding industry, after a new ship is completed, the ship's generator must undergo a load test and be submitted to the shipowner and the ship inspector for inspection. Existing generator load tests all use dry loads or water loads to test the various performance and parameters of the generator.
[0003] The existing 700TEU pure electric container ship is mainly powered by a box-type power supply during normal navigation. Two backup generators are configured as emergency power supply equipment. The backup generator uses an asynchronous generator with a rated voltage of AC690V and a rated power of 900KW. It is connected to the DC busbar through the AC / DC rectifier module of the DC distribution board, and then outputs AC660V to the main propulsion motor after the inverter module of the main propulsion motor panel.
[0004] It is now necessary to carry out load tests on the two standby generators. If the dry load test method is adopted, two sets of dry loads are required. The rated voltage of the dry load is AC660V and the rated power is 1000KW. They are connected to the main propulsion motor panel of the DC distribution board as the load for the generator load test.
[0005] The inverter module is inside the main propulsion panel of the DC distribution board. The rear end of the inverter module must be connected to a series resistive inductive load. If a resistive load or a parallel resistive inductive load is connected, the PWM wave output by the inverter module under full power conditions will cause large harmonics at the front end of the resistive load, and the dudt on the output side of the inverter module will heat up severely.
[0006] Connecting dry loads also requires a large number of frequency conversion cables, and the dry loads and frequency conversion cables in this method are non-standard products and need to be customized and rented, which is expensive. Summary of the invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for load testing of a DC power distribution system by using a propulsion device to perform load testing, avoid the heating problem of using a dry load, save costs, and reduce on-site workload in view of the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for load testing of a DC power distribution system, comprising a DC distribution board, a standby generator set and a main propulsion motor; a first DC busbar and a second DC busbar are provided in the DC distribution board, and the first DC busbar and the second DC busbar are connected through a DC solid-state switch; the first DC busbar is connected to a first rectifier module, and the second DC busbar is connected to a second rectifier module; the standby generator set comprises a first standby generator and a second standby generator, the first standby generator is connected to the first rectifier module, and the second standby generator is connected to the second rectifier module; the first DC busbar is connected to a first main propulsion inverter module, and the second DC busbar is connected to a second main propulsion inverter module; the main propulsion motor comprises a first propulsion motor and a second propulsion motor, the first propulsion motor is connected to the first main propulsion inverter module, the second propulsion motor is connected to the second main propulsion inverter module, the first main propulsion inverter module is sequentially connected to a first propulsion gearbox and a first propulsion device, and the second main propulsion inverter module is sequentially connected to a second propulsion gearbox and a second propulsion device;
[0009] The test consists of the following steps:
[0010] Fully immerse the propeller in the test waters; ensure that the ship remains stationary by fastening it to the cable dock or pushing it with a tugboat; conduct a single generator load test and a generator parallel test; refer to the main propulsion motor speed-power curve obtained from the ship model test to calculate the main propulsion motor speed corresponding to each load condition required in the load test; use the main propulsion control system handle to make the main propulsion motor reach the specified speed so that the power of the main propulsion motor reaches the power of the load required for the test. It needs to be further explained that according to national standards, during the generator load test, data records are required for 0.25, 0.25, 0.50, 2, and 0.50 hours of operation in 5 states of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and 110% respectively. During the generator parallel test, since the ship is in a fixed state at the dock during the test, the main propulsion motor cannot reach the rated power, and the capacity of the two standby generators in parallel is 1800KW, the power of the main propulsion motor cannot reach 100% of the capacity of the standby generator. When using the standby generator, the power of the main propulsion motor will be limited, and there will be no 100% load condition when the generator is in parallel. Referring to the AC power load calculation book, the maximum load of the generator in the navigation state using the standby generator is 80%; during the generator parallel test, first start a standby generator to load the operating unit to 360KW load, start another standby generator to connect to the grid, and after the load distribution is completed, change the speed of the main propulsion motor to make the total load on the grid reach 80% as much as possible, and record the active power and current of the rectifier cabinet.
[0011] Preferably, the first standby generator and the second standby generator are both asynchronous generators with a rated voltage of 690V and a rated power of 900KW; the rated power of the first rectifier module and the second rectifier module are both 900KW.
[0012] Preferably, the rated power of the first main propulsion inverter module and the second main propulsion inverter module are both 900KW, and the rated power of the first propulsion motor and the second propulsion motor are both 900KW.
[0013] Preferably, the rated voltage of the first DC busbar and the second DC busbar is 1000V, and the rated current of the DC solid-state switch is 2000A.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. Avoid equipment rental of dry loads and frequency conversion cables to save costs;
[0016] 2. Avoid dismantling and replacing the frequency conversion cable of the main motor panel of the DC distribution board, reduce a lot of labor costs, simplify the test process, and reduce on-site workload;
[0017] 3. Verify the performance of the main propulsion motor in advance, and discover and solve problems in advance through the operation of the main propulsion motor to avoid affecting the navigation test. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The main propulsion motor includes a first propulsion motor 31 and a second propulsion motor. The first propulsion motor 31 is connected to the first main propulsion inverter module 13, and the second propulsion motor is connected to the second main propulsion inverter module 14. The rated power of the first main propulsion inverter module 13 and the second main propulsion inverter module 14 is both 900KW. The rated power of the first propulsion motor 31 and the second propulsion motor is both 900KW. The first main propulsion inverter module 13 is sequentially connected to the first propulsion gearbox 32 and the first propulsion device 33, and the second main propulsion inverter module 14 is sequentially connected to the second propulsion gearbox 35 and the second propulsion device 3634;
[0022] The two standby generators provide AC power which is rectified by the rectifier module and then connected to the grid, and supplies power to the propulsion motor via the main propulsion inverter module in the DC distribution board 1.
[0023] The test consists of the following steps:

During the generator parallel test, because the ship is in a fixed state at the dock during the test, the main propulsion motor cannot reach the rated power, and the capacity of the two standby generators in parallel is 1800KW, and the power of the main propulsion motor cannot reach 100% of the capacity of the standby generator. When using the standby generator, the power of the main propulsion motor will be limited, and there will be no 100% load condition when the generator is in parallel.
