It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] Reference Figure 1 The temperature detection method of the inverter inductor is applied to the temperature detection circuit of the inverter inductor. In one embodiment, the structure of the temperature detection circuit of the inverter inductor is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the temperature detection circuit of the inverter inductor includes a voltage detection filter circuit and a temperature calculation device, and the voltage detection filter circuit includes a voltage filter. The detection end of the voltage detection filter circuit is connected to the inverter inductor in the inverter topology circuit, and is used to detect the inductor voltage at both ends of the inverter inductor and filter out the high-frequency AC voltage; and the output end of the voltage detection filter circuit is connected to the first input end of the temperature calculation device, and the second input end of the temperature calculation device receives the inductor current of the inverter inductor in the inverter topology circuit.

[0052] The voltage detection filter circuit may include a voltage filter. The voltage detection filter circuit is used to detect the inductor voltage at both ends of the inverter inductor and filter out the high-frequency AC voltage.

[0053] The temperature calculation device may include one or more hardware circuit modules such as analog circuits, digital logic circuits or processors, and the processor may run the temperature detection program of the inverter inductor and perform corresponding operations. The processor includes but is not limited to a single-chip microcomputer, a DSP, an ARM, etc.

[0054] The temperature detection method of the inverter inductor comprises the following steps:

[0055] Step S1, detecting the inductor voltage across the inverter inductor in the inverter topology circuit and filtering the inductor voltage through a voltage filter;

[0056] In this embodiment, the inverter topology circuit includes but is not limited to an ANPC inverter topology circuit, an NPC-1 inverter topology circuit, an NPC-T inverter topology circuit, a two-level inverter topology circuit, and a flying three-level inverter topology circuit. The inverter inductor in the inverter topology circuit, that is, the inverter inductor to be detected, can be equivalent to an inductor and a resistor in series, such as Figure 2 The inductor L and the resistor R shown in FIG. 1 are connected in series, and the inverter inductor to be detected is connected to the PCB board through terminals.

[0057] When the photovoltaic inverter is working stably, based on the volt-second balance principle, in the stable working state of the switching power supply, the voltage across the inductor multiplied by the conduction time when the switch tube is turned on is equal to the voltage across the inductor multiplied by the off time when the switch is turned off, that is, the positive volt-second value across the inductor is equal to the negative volt-second value; at the same time, the current of the inverter inductor in the inverter topology circuit is the industrial frequency AC current. It can be seen that the integral of the voltage across the inductor over time in an integer industrial frequency cycle is equal to zero. The voltage across the inductor is equal to the sum of the square wave voltage of the switching frequency output by the inverter bridge arm, the voltage of the power frequency current on the inductive reactance of the inductor, and the voltage of the power frequency current on the resistor impedance. Since the switching frequency is much greater than the power frequency, when the photovoltaic inverter is stably connected to the grid, the square wave voltage of the switching frequency can be filtered out through a voltage detection filter circuit, such as a voltage filter, to extract the voltage of the power frequency current on the inductive reactance and the voltage on the resistor impedance. The voltage detection filter circuit can be a multi-order low-pass filter circuit, which is used to filter the square wave voltage of the switching frequency, extract the voltage of the power frequency current on the inductive reactance and the voltage on the resistor impedance and output them to the temperature calculation module.

[0058] Step S2, obtaining the inductor current of the inverter inductor;

[0059] In practical applications, photovoltaic inverters control grid connection by detecting the inductor current. Therefore, the inductor current of the inverter inductor can be obtained through the photovoltaic inverter, and the current phase, current effective value and other parameters of the inductor current can be calculated without the need to set up additional hardware circuits, so as to achieve the effect of reducing costs and improving efficiency.

[0060] Step S3, calculating the active power of the inverter inductor according to the inductor current and the filtered inductor voltage;

[0061] The active power of the inverter inductor can be calculated by the inductor current of the inverter inductor and the filtered inductor voltage, and the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor can be calculated by the active power of the inverter inductor. Finally, the temperature of the inverter inductor can be determined based on the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor.

[0062] In one embodiment, step S3 includes:

[0063] Step S31, calculating the effective value of the inductor voltage and determining the voltage phase of the inductor voltage by phase locking;

[0064] Step S32, obtaining the effective current value and current phase of the inductor current;

[0065] Step S33, calculating the active power of the inverter inductor according to the voltage effective value, the voltage phase, the current effective value and the current phase.

[0066] In this embodiment, the voltage phase of the inductor voltage relative to the grid after phase locking is obtained, and the voltage effective value of the inductor voltage is calculated. In addition, the current phase and current effective value of the inductor current relative to the grid are obtained through the photovoltaic inverter. The active power of the inverter inductor is then calculated based on the determined voltage effective value, voltage phase, current effective value, and current phase.

[0067] Specifically, step S33 includes:

[0068] Step S331, obtaining filtering parameters of the voltage filter;

[0069] Step S332, calculating the voltage effective value and voltage phase of the inductor voltage before being filtered by the voltage filter according to the filtering parameter, the voltage effective value and the voltage phase;

[0070] Step S333, based on the active power calculation formula Calculate the active power of the inverter inductor; the UL is the effective value of the voltage before filtering, the IL is the effective value of the current, is the voltage phase before filtering, is the current phase.

[0071] Step S334: calculating the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor according to the active power of the inverter inductor.

[0072] The filtering parameters of the voltage filter are known. Therefore, the voltage effective value and voltage phase of the inductor voltage before filtering by the voltage filter can be calculated by the filtering parameters of the voltage filter, and then the calculation formula of the active power of the inverter inductor can be used. Calculate the active power of the inverter inductor; in the formula, UL is the effective value of the voltage before being filtered by the voltage filter, IL is the effective value of the current, is the voltage phase before being filtered by the voltage filter, is the current phase. After determining the active power of the inverter inductor, the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor is calculated according to the active power.

[0073] Further, based on the above embodiment, after step S332, the following further steps are included:

[0074] Step S335, based on the reactive power calculation formula Calculating the reactive power of the inverter inductor;

[0075] Step S336, calculating the inductance value of the inverter inductor according to the reactive power of the inverter inductor;

[0076] Step S337, determining whether the inductance value of the inverter inductor is greater than a first inductance threshold;

[0077] Step S338: When the inductance value of the inverter inductor is greater than the first inductance threshold, a first alarm is issued.

[0078] In this embodiment, the reactive power calculation formula of the inverter inductor can be used Calculate the reactive power of the inverter inductor. Combined with the inductor voltage calculation method The inductance value of the inverter inductor can be calculated by XL = 2*π*f*L. Wherein, XL is the inductance reactance value, f is the power frequency, L is the inductance value, and IL is the effective value of the inductance current. If the calculated inductance value of the inverter inductor is greater than the preset first inductance threshold value, it means that the inductor coil and the magnetic core may be abnormal, and a first alarm prompt may be issued through a human-machine display device, such as an LED display screen, an LCD display screen, etc., or through an LED indicator light, for example, a red light indicates that the inductor coil and the magnetic core are abnormal, and a green light indicates that the inductor coil and the magnetic core are operating normally. Of course, a buzzer and other devices can also be set to issue a first alarm prompt.

[0079] Further, based on the above embodiment, after step S336, the following further steps are included:

[0080] Step S339, determining whether the inductance value of the inverter inductor is less than a second inductance threshold;

[0081] Step S3310: When the inductance value of the inverter inductor is less than the second inductance threshold, a second alarm prompt is issued.

[0082] If the inductance value of the inverter inductor is less than the preset second inductance threshold, it means that the internal coil of the inverter inductor may have problems such as open circuit and core damage. At this time, the second alarm prompt can be issued through the human-machine display device, LED indicator, buzzer and other devices, and the first alarm prompt is different from the second alarm prompt. At the same time, maintenance personnel can be arranged to handle it on site in time to further ensure the normal operation of the photovoltaic inverter, so as to effectively improve the reliability of the photovoltaic inverter.

[0083] Step S4, calculating the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor according to the active power of the inverter inductor;

[0084] It can be understood that in the power frequency voltage generated by the power frequency current added to the inductive reactance and the resistor impedance, the resistor impedance voltage is in phase with the inductive current, while the inductive reactance voltage leads the inductive current by 90°, such as Figure 3 As shown, UL1 is the power frequency voltage generated by the power frequency sinusoidal current added to the inductive reactance, UL is the power frequency voltage generated by the power frequency sinusoidal current added to the inductive reactance and the resistive impedance, and XL=2*π*f*L, where XL is the inductive reactance value, f is the power frequency, L is the inductive reactance value, and IL is the effective value of the inductive current.

[0085] Based on this, after calculating the active power of the inverter inductor, the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor can be calculated based on the above content, that is,

[0086] Step S5: determining the temperature of the inverter inductor based on the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor.

[0087] The inverter inductor coil is a metal coil wound around the magnetic core, usually made of copper, aluminum and other materials, and potted with silicone; the losses of the inverter inductor mainly include copper loss, iron loss, eddy current loss, hysteresis loss, etc. These losses will increase the inductor temperature, and the heat is concentrated in the magnetic core and coil. Therefore, the temperature of the coil is very close to the internal temperature of the inductor, and the internal temperature of the inductor can be determined by detecting the coil temperature; the metal resistance temperature sensor, also known as the thermal resistor sensor, is a sensor used to measure temperature. Its working principle is that the resistance value will change with the change of temperature. Once the temperature of the wire changes, the resistance value of the wire will also change accordingly. Therefore, the temperature of the inverter inductor can be calculated by measuring the change of the resistance value of the inverter inductor. The DC resistance of the inductor metal coil is linearly related to the temperature, and the change of the resistance value of the inverter inductor can accurately reflect the change of the inductor temperature. Therefore, after calculating the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor, the current temperature of the inverter inductor can be quickly determined by the relationship between the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor and the temperature.

[0088] In order to better illustrate the relationship between the resistance and temperature of the inverter inductor, the coil material of the inverter inductor is copper. The resistivity of copper at 20°C is ρ = 1.7*10 -8 , the resistivity of the metal coil conductor is expressed as Among them, ρ is resistivity, S is cross-sectional area, R is resistance value, and L is conductor length. It can be seen that the relationship between the resistance value and temperature of the conductor is: R(t)=R0*(1+At+B*t 2 +C*t 3+……), where t is temperature, R0 is resistance at 0℃, R(t) is resistance at t℃, A, B, C…… are temperature coefficients, i.e. constants, and B, C…… are often very small, close to zero, and can be ignored.

[0089] Specifically, in one embodiment, step S5 includes:

[0090] Step S51, obtaining a mapping relationship between the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor and the temperature;

[0091] Step S52, determining a temperature corresponding to the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor based on the mapping relationship;

[0092] Step S53: taking the determined temperature as the temperature of the inverter inductor.

[0093] The technical solution of this embodiment detects the inductor voltage and inductor current at both ends of the inverter inductor, and outputs the detected inductor voltage after filtering, and then calculates the active power of the inverter inductor based on the inductor current and the filtered inductor voltage, and uses the active power to calculate the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor. Finally, the temperature of the inverter inductor is quickly and accurately obtained through the DC resistance value of the inverter inductor. With this arrangement, the real-time temperature of the inverter inductor can be quickly obtained when the photovoltaic inverter is stably connected to the grid, ensuring that the photovoltaic inverter can work safely and reliably, and there is no need to embed devices such as thermocouples and thermistors to detect the temperature of the inverter inductor. While obtaining the real-time temperature of the inverter inductor, the temperature measurement cost of the inverter inductor is effectively saved.

[0095] The voltage detection filter circuit is used to detect the inductor voltage at both ends of the inverter inductor in the inverter topology circuit and filter the inductor voltage through a voltage filter.
