Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of uninterrupted power supply switching, in particular to an uninterrupted power supply switching method based on Ethernet and Beidou short message communication. BACKGROUND

[0002] UPS uninterrupted power supply systems have been widely applied to various industries and provide high-quality, reliable and safe power supply for various devices, and play an important protection role in the good operation and service life of various devices, especially some key devices. The UPS uninterrupted power supply system follows the principles of system maturity, openness and reliability, and mainly adopts two types of high-frequency machines and power-frequency machines.

[0003] The high-frequency machine adopts an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) rectifier, and the advantages thereof are high output efficiency, no transformer, light weight, small size, low noise, small influence on space and environment, low price compared with the power-frequency machine, and suitability for small space, good working environment and budget limitation. The disadvantage of the high-frequency machine is that the output of the high-frequency machine is not isolated by a transformer, if the inverter power device is short-circuited, the high direct-current voltage on the direct-current bus is directly added to the load, the anti-impact capability is low, and the high-frequency machine without an output transformer does not have the isolation harmonic function, and is not suitable for power supply environments and harsh use environments of factories.

[0004] The power-frequency machine adopts a thyristor (SCR) rectifier, and the advantages of the power-frequency machine are high anti-impact capability and high reliability compared with the high-frequency machine. The power-frequency machine belongs to an industrial type in design, and can adapt to harsh power supply environments and use environments. The disadvantage of the power-frequency machine is that the power-frequency machine is provided with an isolation transformer, the output efficiency is low, the floor bearing requirement is relatively high, the size is large, the space requirement is high, and the price is high.

[0005] In the petroleum and petrochemical, coal, metallurgy and manufacturing industries, in order to ensure uninterrupted power supply of industrial enterprises, key technologies such as fast mechanical switch, fast detection, manual zero-crossing, forced zero-crossing, lossless current limiting, lossless peak limiting current limiting, ultra-high-speed flexible switching, no-delay relay protection cooperation and single-phase grounding fault fast disposal without power interruption are usually adopted. The mechanical action time of the fast mechanical vacuum switch based on the repulsion mechanism can be controlled within 1 ms, and can be controlled within 0.1 ms in general, so that phase control can be realized. However, efficient and reliable communication needs to be established. The single-phase grounding fast disposal technology based on fault phase grounding can quickly extinguish arc without power interruption, and can select the grounding line. After the production process is completed or the load is switched to other normal paths, the processing is performed again.

[0006] In summary, the current mainstream uninterruptible power supply technology is mainly based on a single station / site, and the railway 10kV distribution station belongs to the jurisdiction of the power supply section, and the through / self-closing feed-out provides power for important train loads such as signals along the line, and the next level equipment of the through / self-closing feed-out belongs to the jurisdiction of the electric power section, and the through / self-closing feed-out from two different sites of the 10kV distribution station is the power supply for the next level equipment, and the through / self-closing feed-out of each distribution station is only judged and operated by the local collected information, and there is no information interaction and linkage between the distribution stations, and when a certain road through / self-closing feed-out fails, the power supply is provided by the through / self-closing feed-out of the adjacent station through the self-throw function of the protection device, and the process is to first disconnect the fault side breaker and then connect the non-fault side breaker, and there is a short-term power interruption, and when the through / self-closing feed-out is power switched under non-fault conditions, manual phase checking and measurement observation of key electrical quantities such as pressure difference, angle difference and frequency difference are used to perform ring closing switching, and there is a certain degree of difficulty and risk, and if power switching is performed, the relevant personnel of the electric power section need to cooperate, and the process is relatively complex.

[0007] In view of this, an uninterrupted power supply switching method based on Ethernet and Beidou short message communication is proposed. SUMMARY

[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0037] The present invention mainly adopts Ethernet communication and Beidou short message technology as a means of emergency communication to form a mass-produced through-automatic closing line uninterruptible power supply switching device, which breaks through the traditional manual switching method and does not require the cooperation of multiple personnel. Uninterruptible power supply switching can be achieved through one-key operation of the switching device. By monitoring the voltage, current, phase, angle difference, frequency and circuit breaker position of the through-automatic closing line of the distribution stations on both sides, information interaction of the through-automatic closing line of the distribution stations on both sides is realized, and accurate and effective judgment is made to ensure the reliability and safety of switching, thereby improving the robustness and fault isolation capability of the through-automatic closing line uninterruptible power supply switching.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] by Figure 2 As shown in the figure, substations 1 and 2 are two power sources for the next-level loads, and substations 1 and 3 are two power sources for another next-level load. In actual situations, substations 1, 2, and 3 are usually in different network segments. Routing does not need to be configured if they are in the same network segment, but routing is required if they are in different network segments. If substations 1 and 2 are both private networks, they can communicate with each other. To avoid being affected by other devices in the channel, substation 1 is configured with its local IP address, port number, subnet mask, and gateway, as well as substation 2's IP address, port number, subnet mask, and network segment. Substation 2 is configured with its local IP address, port number, subnet mask, and gateway, as well as substation 1's IP address, port number, subnet mask, and network segment. In simplified configuration, the opposite network segment and subnet mask do not need to be configured. Only the local IP address, port number, subnet mask, gateway, and the opposite IP address and port number need to be configured.

[0040] If substation 1 is a private network and substation 3 is an office network, since the private network and the office network are not interoperable, a new communication front-end is added to the main station. The existing three-layer switch at the main station has divided different VLANs. Substation 1, substation 3, the newly added communication front-end, and the lower end of the firewall are in different VLANs. The lower end of the firewall can communicate with substation 1 and substation 3 respectively, and the upper end of the firewall can communicate with the communication front-end. Due to the limitation of the number of addresses, the firewall has used dynamic address translation (both IP and port numbers will change). To ensure that the related services of reverse switching can be opened normally, it is necessary to enable one-to-one NAT conversion in the firewall (only convert IP), and at the same time open the port number used for reverse switching and add corresponding policies to enable the business to pass smoothly. Configure the local IP, port number, subnet mask and gateway of substation 1 and the IP, port number, subnet mask and network segment related to the newly added communication front-end at the main station. Configure the local IP, port number, subnet mask and gateway of substation 3. As well as the IP, port number, subnet mask, and network segment related to the newly added communication front-end machine at the master station. The newly added communication front-end machine at the master station is configured with the local IP, port number, subnet mask, and gateway, as well as the IP, port number, subnet mask, network segment of distribution station 1 and the IP, port number, subnet mask, and network segment of distribution station 2. At the same time, the newly added communication front-end machine at the master station needs to be configured with a rule to bind the communication between distribution station 1 and distribution station 3, so that data can be transferred through the communication front-end machine. Under simplified configuration, there is no need to configure the opposite network segment and subnet mask. Only the local IP, port number, subnet mask, gateway, and the opposite IP and port number are configured. Note that for more substations, multiple communication front-end machine rules can be configured to meet actual needs, and they will not interfere with or affect each other. It is particularly important to note that because the firewall uses one-to-one NAT address conversion, the switching device and the communication front-end machine need to configure the converted address when configuring the relevant parameters on the opposite side (the port number remains unchanged).

[0041] When communication is established between the switching devices, an ARP packet is first sent to inquire about the MAC address of the other side. After receiving it, a UDP packet is sent and the relevant information is viewed through the packet capture software.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, on the basis of Ethernet communication, a Beidou module is installed to realize Beidou short message communication. The Beidou module needs to be installed on the roof and face south without obstruction to ensure normal reception of Beidou signals. The Beidou module and the switching device are connected by RS232 serial port. The Beidou module sends a message every 1 minute. In order to avoid conflict between Ethernet communication and Beidou short message communication, the priority of Beidou short message communication is set higher than Ethernet communication, that is, Ethernet communication is invalid in Beidou short message communication mode. The protocol content between the Beidou module and the switching device includes power detection, communication application, IC card detection, feedback information, system self-test, etc. When the Beidou short message communication is established, it can be viewed by logging into the switching device or the communication front-end through the debugging serial port.

[0043] The control loop of the switching device is at the same level as the existing protection manual switching loop, and is located at the front end of the existing protection device. When normal power transmission and stop are performed, the operation and maintenance personnel switches the circuit breaker through local operation or remote control, and the switching device only records the position change information and voltage and current information of the circuit breaker, and does not control the loop. When the circuit is faulty and the circuit breaker is tripped, the switching device only records the position change information and voltage and current information of the circuit breaker, and does not control the loop. When power switching is needed, the switching device is enabled to realize uninterrupted power switching.

[0044] As shown in Figure 4 When the opposite side current is greater than the set current value, the local side switching device delays for 10s to report the opposite side heavy load signal under the condition that the current criterion enabling control word is put in, and returns the signal after the current is restored for 1.25s, and the switching function is locked out. This method is to avoid the influence of switching failure under heavy load.

[0045] After the local side switching device is started, the pressure difference, angle difference and frequency difference are satisfied within 70s, and the local side circuit breaker is automatically closed. After the closing and parallel time delay, the opposite side circuit breaker is automatically opened. If the switching process exceeds 70s, the switching process is ended, and no control command is sent. Because a large current may be generated during the closing, the local side circuit breaker is opened when the local side current is greater than the set current value under the condition that the overcurrent enabling control word is put in, and the switching process is ended. In order to avoid the situation that both sides of the circuit breaker are opened, the setting value of the closing and parallel time must be greater than the setting value of the overcurrent time. The setting value of the overcurrent must be greater than the maximum load current and less than the overcurrent setting value of the existing protection device. Finally, the normal operation is not affected, the fault is accurately operated, and the power is uninterrupted during switching.

[0046] The embodiments of the present application are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the spirit of the present application according to the above embodiments, and make different inferences and changes, as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present application, and are within the protection scope of the present application.
