Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of direct current distribution system protection, and in particular, relates to a direct current solid-state circuit breaker self-power supply circuit based on capacitor voltage division and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Compared with AC power systems, DC power systems have more advantages in reducing energy loss and being compatible with new energy and DC loads. However, the low impedance and low inertia of DC power grid systems result in a high rate of rise and large amplitude of fault current, which places strict requirements on the fault response speed of DC solid state circuit breakers (SSCBs). In addition, since the DC short-circuit fault current does not have a natural zero crossing, arc management during fault clearing becomes more challenging, making the isolation of DC faults more difficult than AC faults. As an important part of the DC power system, DC solid state circuit breakers play a key role in achieving fault isolation, preventing further spread of DC faults, and ensuring safe and reliable operation of DC systems. Traditional mechanical circuit breakers cannot meet the requirements of fast protection due to their slow breaking speed. Moreover, their lifespan is short, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of intelligent control and fast fault removal.

[0003] Fortunately, in recent years, solid-state circuit breakers based on wide bandgap semiconductor devices have been proposed, which can solve problems such as slow shutdown speed and difficult arc extinguishing. However, power devices represented by silicon carbide (SiC) require external power supply to work properly due to the existence of control and drive circuits, and the existence of auxiliary power supply lines not only increases the cost of circuit breakers, but also increases the complexity of equipment. Even in some occasions, such as the seabed observation network, there is no auxiliary power supply line. Therefore, realizing self-power supply of DC solid-state circuit breakers can improve the reliability of power system operation and reduce operating costs. In the existing methods, there is a method of obtaining electric energy by using the voltage drop generated by the short-circuit current flowing through the power semiconductor device when a fault occurs. The voltage drop on the power semiconductor device is used as a trigger voltage to cut off the fault current in the event of a short-circuit fault. This method of obtaining power is simple and easy. However, when the DC system is operating normally, the DC solid-state circuit breaker is in a power-off state and cannot be controlled and monitored in real time. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a reasonable self-power supply method for the circuit breaker to ensure the power supply stability of the circuit breaker, and to perform real-time control and monitoring regardless of whether the circuit breaker is in a normal state or a fault removal state.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present invention, the self-power supply unit is composed of a power switch J1, a charging current limiting resistor R1, a discharge resistor R2 and a series voltage-dividing and voltage-reducing capacitor C1, C in J1 is used as a power switch device to control capacitors C1 and C in When the power switch J1 is turned on, the bus voltage is supplied to the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C inIn terms of parameter selection, the first capacitor C1 should be a small capacitor with high withstand voltage, and the second capacitor C in Choose a capacitor with a large capacitance value.

The DC / DC converter acts as a step-down isolation conversion device. in The voltage on the power supply is reduced and isolated to supply power to the subsequent control circuit and drive circuit. The control circuit controls the high and low level waves of the drive circuit to realize the opening and closing of the power switch J1 and the DC solid-state circuit breaker. The drive circuit receives the control circuit signal and realizes the opening and closing of the power switch J1 and the DC solid-state circuit breaker through the PWM signal.

[0024] The principle of the control circuit in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: for the second capacitor C in The voltage on the high threshold V H and low threshold V L , the second capacitor C in The sampled voltage v in Compare with the two to control the PWM output of the driving circuit. H The maximum input voltage of the DC / DC converter, the low threshold V L It is the minimum input voltage of the DC / DC converter.

[0025] The following is a detailed analysis of the implementation process of the capacitor voltage divider SSCB self-powered circuit to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of equipment parameters.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present invention, the capacitor voltage divider circuit is composed of a first resistor R1, a first capacitor C1, and a second capacitor C in The bus voltage is divided, and the control circuit collects the second capacitor C in The sampling voltage v at both ends in , the sample voltage v in With high threshold V H and low threshold V L Compare.

[0027] if , the control circuit outputs a high level, and the drive circuit outputs a conduction signal to control the power switch J1 to conduct. At this time, the bus voltage is connected to the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C through the first resistor R1. in Charging, the second capacitor C in The voltage at both ends rises to ensure that the sampling voltage vin Higher than the minimum input voltage V of the DC / DC converter L .

[0028] if , the control circuit outputs a low level, and the drive circuit outputs a cut-off signal to control the power switch J1 to turn off. At this time, the first capacitor C1 discharges through the second resistor R2 and the first resistor R1, and the voltage drops. in The voltage at both ends is consumed by the DC / DC converter to ensure the sampling voltage v in Lower than the maximum input voltage V of the DC / DC converter H .

[0029] if , the control circuit keeps the output level unchanged, that is, if the output level of the control circuit at the previous moment is a high level, the control circuit currently outputs a high level; if the output level of the control circuit at the previous moment is a low level, the control circuit currently outputs a low level.

[0030] This ensures that the second capacitor C in The sampling voltage v at both ends in The minimum input voltage V of the DC / DC converter L With the maximum input voltage V H Thus, the DC / DC converter can provide a stable power supply voltage.

[0031] Assume that the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C in The voltage in the initial state is 0, the output voltage of the DC / DC converter is 12V, the control signal of the control circuit is 5V, and the DC system operates normally. The timing analysis of the implementation process of the DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows. For specific timing, see Figure 2 .

[0032] Phase I (0-t0): Due to the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C in The voltage of the initial state is 0, and the second capacitor C in The sampling voltage v at both ends in =0 <V L The control circuit outputs a high level, and the drive circuit outputs a conduction signal to control the power switch J1 to conduct. The line voltage is connected to the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C through the first resistor R1. in Charging, the second capacitor C in The sampling voltage v at both ends in rise.

[0033] Phase II (t0-t1): When v in >V L When the sampling voltage v inHigher than the minimum input voltage V of the DC / DC converter L , the DC / DC converter starts to work normally, outputs a stable supply voltage, and ensures the normal operation of the control circuit and the drive circuit. And because the SiC JFET device itself is a normally-on device, it remains on in the absence of a drive voltage and can be regarded as a conductor. Therefore, before the DC / DC converter outputs stably, the second capacitor C in It can be charged normally. The control circuit logic remains unchanged at this stage.

[0034] Phase III (t1-t2): When v in >V H When the control circuit outputs a low level, the drive circuit outputs a cut-off signal to control the power switch J1 to turn off. At this time, the first capacitor C1 discharges through the second resistor R2 and the first resistor R1, and the second capacitor C in The voltage across the two ends is consumed by the DC / DC converter, and the voltage v in Start to descend.

[0035] Stage IV (t2-t3): After a certain period of discharge, , the control circuit outputs a high level, the second capacitor C in Recharge, v in Rise, cycle, maintain , thus ensuring the stable output of the DC / DC converter. And because the self-power supply unit is connected in parallel to the DC bus side and is charged by the bus voltage, even if the circuit breaker disconnects the subsequent circuit, the self-power supply unit can still ensure normal operation and make the DC / DC converter output a stable supply voltage.

[0036] The DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division in the embodiment of the present invention divides and reduces the voltage of the DC bus by capacitors during the normal operation of the SSCB, and provides a stable power supply voltage for the control circuit and the drive circuit after isolation and voltage transformation by the DC / DC converter. And after the SSCB removes the fault and disconnects the subsequent circuit, it can still provide a stable power supply voltage, ensuring that the SSCB can be controlled and monitored in real time regardless of whether it is in a normal state or a fault removal state.

[0037] In order to verify the effectiveness of the DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division according to the embodiment of the present invention, the feasibility of the topology can be verified by PSpice simulation. Figure 3 As shown, the DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division of the embodiment of the present invention is connected to the simulation circuit, and the DC solid-state circuit breaker is driven to open and close through VPULSE. Figure 1 VPULSE is the VPULSE pulse voltage source inside PSpice, and DC uses the built-in DC voltage source V in PSpice.DC , load R L It is a pure resistive load of 10Ω.

[0038] The device parameters in the simulation circuit are shown in Table 1. The simulation model of SiC JFET comes from UnitedSiC, USA. The bus voltage is set to 1000V. The driving voltage of J1 in the self-powered unit is provided by the driver chip UCC21530. in By connecting in parallel to C in The resistors at both ends divide the voltage and input the comparator TLV3501 to control the drive signal of the driver chip UCC21530. The DC / DC converter is replaced by a simple buck circuit. Observe the capacitor C in The voltage waveform at both ends, the output voltage waveform of the buck circuit, and the waveforms of the two after the DC solid-state circuit breaker is turned off can test the implementation effect of the DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division in the simulation circuit, and verify the feasibility of the DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division.

[0039] Table 1 Device parameters of DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division The simulation results of the DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division are shown in Figure 4 As shown, the self-powered circuit and the load R L When the circuit is connected at 100us, the load current rises rapidly to 100A because the bus voltage is 1000V. in The initial voltage state of both ends is 0, so TLV3501 outputs 5V high level, controls the driver chip UCC21530 to output the conduction signal, the power switch J1 is turned on, and the second capacitor C in Start charging, sample voltage v in The buck circuit starts to work at 5ms. The buck circuit output voltage stabilizes at 10V at 10ms. At 12ms, the buck circuit output voltage stabilizes at 10V. in Reaching the high threshold V H , TLV3501 outputs 0V low level, controls the driver chip UCC21530 to output a cut-off signal, the power switch J1 is turned off, and the second capacitor C in The charge on the buck circuit is consumed, v in Falling, 31ms v in Reaching the low threshold V L , TLV3501 outputs 5V high level again, and the cycle continues to ensure v inAlways within the input range of the DC / DC converter, the supply voltage can be output stably. At 60ms, VPLUSE outputs a shutdown signal, the DC solid-state circuit breaker is turned off, the fault removal after the simulated line fault is simulated, and the load current drops to 0. Since the self-powered circuit is connected in parallel on the DC bus side, even if the subsequent circuit is disconnected, the DC / DC converter can still output a stable supply voltage to ensure the power supply stability of the SSCB.

[0040] In summary, the self-powered circuit of a DC solid-state circuit breaker based on capacitor voltage division in an embodiment of the present invention includes: a self-powered unit, a control circuit, a drive circuit, and a DC solid-state circuit breaker; the self-powered unit includes a power switch, a capacitor voltage division circuit, and a DC / DC converter; the DC solid-state circuit breaker is connected in series to the DC bus, the first end of the power switch is connected to the drive circuit, the second end of the power switch is connected to the DC bus, the third end of the power switch is connected to the capacitor voltage division circuit, the capacitor voltage division circuit is connected to the control circuit and the DC / DC converter, the drive circuit is connected to the DC / DC converter, the control circuit, and the DC solid-state circuit breaker, the DC bus is divided and reduced by a capacitor, and a stable power supply voltage is provided after isolation and transformation by a DC / DC converter, to ensure that the DC solid-state circuit breaker can be controlled and monitored in real time regardless of whether it is in a normal state or a fault removal state.

[0041] like Figure 5 The flowchart of a control method of a DC solid-state circuit breaker self-powered circuit based on capacitor voltage division provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method includes: Step S11, dividing the DC bus voltage through a capacitor voltage divider circuit and inputting the divided voltage into a DC / DC converter.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, the capacitor voltage divider circuit is composed of a first resistor R1, a first capacitor C1, and a second capacitor C in The bus voltage is divided. The second capacitor C obtained by voltage division in The voltage at both ends is input into the DC / DC converter as the input voltage of the DC / DC converter.

[0043] Step S12: collecting a sample voltage input to the DC / DC converter through a control circuit.

[0044] The second capacitor C is collected by the control circuit in The voltage across the two ends is the sampling voltage of the input DC / DC converter.

[0045] In step S13, the control circuit compares the sampled voltage with a preset high threshold and a preset low threshold, and outputs a control signal to the drive circuit according to the comparison result.

[0046] Optionally, if the sampled voltage is less than or equal to a preset low threshold, the control circuit outputs a high-level control signal. If the sampled voltage is greater than a preset high threshold, the control circuit outputs a low-level control signal. If the sampled voltage is greater than the low threshold and less than or equal to the high threshold, the control circuit maintains the control signal of the previous state.

[0047] Step S14: The driving circuit outputs a first driving signal according to the control signal to control the on and off of the power switch, thereby controlling the DC / DC converter to output a stable power supply voltage.

[0048] If the control circuit outputs a high-level control signal, the drive circuit outputs a conduction signal according to the control signal to control the power switch to conduct, the DC bus voltage charges the first capacitor and the second capacitor in the capacitor voltage divider circuit, the voltage across the second capacitor rises, and the voltage across the second capacitor is controlled to be higher than the low threshold, that is, to ensure that the second capacitor C in The sampling voltage v at both ends in Higher than the minimum input voltage V of the DC / DC converter L .

[0049] If the control circuit outputs a low-level control signal, the drive circuit outputs a cutoff signal according to the control signal to control the power switch to turn off, the first capacitor discharges through the first resistor and the second resistor, and the second capacitor consumes power through the DC / DC converter, and the voltage across the second capacitor is controlled to be lower than the high threshold, that is, to ensure that the second capacitor C in The sampling voltage v at both ends in Lower than the maximum input voltage V of the DC / DC converter H .

[0050] Through the above control, the second capacitor C in The sampling voltage v at both ends in The minimum input voltage V of the DC / DC converter L With the maximum input voltage V H Thus, the DC / DC converter can provide a stable power supply voltage.

[0051] The driving circuit also outputs a second driving signal to the DC solid-state circuit breaker to control the on and off of the DC solid-state circuit breaker.
