Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power electronic equipment technology, and in particular to a general-purpose dry load and load control system for medium and high voltage and multiple operating modes. Background Technology
[0002] Existing medium-voltage dry loads are limited by the voltage level of the switching devices, the load structure, and the device performance, which limits their operation to a limited range of voltage levels and operating modes, and can only simulate single resistive and inductive loads.
[0003] Regarding voltage level range: Medium-voltage dry-type loads primarily utilize medium- and high-voltage contactors as the switching control method for load circuits. The maximum voltage level for contactor products used in medium-voltage DC applications does not exceed DC 3600V; the maximum voltage level for contactor products used in medium-voltage AC applications does not exceed AC 10.5kV, and medium-voltage DC and AC contactor products are not interchangeable. Therefore, the limitation on the contactor's voltage level range directly restricts the rated voltage of the products to around DC 3600V and AC 10.5kV. When higher voltage level dry-type loads (high-voltage dry-type loads) are used, the only solution is to add additional components, such as DC / DC modules and transformers.
[0004] Regarding the operating mode: Existing medium-voltage dry-type loads use traditional electrical breaking devices such as vacuum circuit breakers and receivers to control the load circuit. Due to limitations in the response speed and inherent mechanical characteristics of these devices, existing medium-voltage dry-type loads suffer from drawbacks such as limited functionality and slow response speed.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0050] This application provides a general-purpose dry load for medium and high voltage and multiple operating modes, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the dry load includes at least one load box 1, each load box 1 including three solid-state circuit breakers 11 and at least one load module 12, the solid-state circuit breakers 11 and the load module 12 being connected via a busbar.
[0051] Each load module 12 includes three load branches 121, each load branch 121 including a fuse 1211, a solid contactor 1212 and a resistor 1213, wherein the resistors corresponding to the three load branches 121 are the same.
[0052] By controlling the target circuit breaker and the target solid-state contactor, the load cell 1 is configured to operate in one of the following modes: DC load mode, AC load mode, high-power pulse load mode, nonlinear load mode, and constant power load mode.
[0053] The control commands include: the current operating mode, the test requirements of the device under test, the voltage level range, the first number of solid circuit breakers 11 to be closed, the second number of solid contactors 1212 to be closed, the first number of load modules 12 required, the first connection method of each load module 12 when there are multiple load modules 12, the second number of load boxes 1 required, and the second connection method of each load box 1 when there are multiple load boxes 1.
[0054] The target circuit breaker is obtained from three solid-state circuit breakers 11 based on control commands; the target solid-state contactor is obtained from solid-state contactor 1212 of at least one load module 12 based on control commands.
[0055] For each working mode, after configuration, the load of load cell 1 is consistent with the load of the corresponding device under test.
[0056] Among them, a dry load is obtained by integrating multiple load boxes 1.
[0057] Specifically, the target circuit breaker is obtained based on one or more of the current operating mode, test requirements, and first number of closing operations in the control command; the target solid-state contactor is obtained based on one or more of the second number of closing operations, voltage level range, first quantity, first connection method, second quantity, and second connection method in the control command.
[0058] Among them, Figure 1 The illustration shows one load cell 1 and three load modules 12 connected in parallel. This is only an example and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0059] This application uses three solid-state circuit breakers 11, corresponding to three busbars (busbar a, busbar b, and busbar c). The purpose of using three solid-state circuit breakers 11 is to enable operation with both three-phase AC and DC power, achieving AC / DC compatibility. This application uses multiple load boxes 1 and multiple load modules 12, and by adjusting the first connection method of each load module 12 and the second connection method of each load box 1, it achieves simulation testing of the device under test in various operating modes.
[0060] This application achieves a medium-to-high voltage load design that exceeds the withstand voltage of existing switching devices by using solid-state circuit breakers instead of traditional vacuum circuit breakers. Furthermore, by controlling the on / off state of the solid-state circuit breaker and solid-state contactor, the load box can be adapted to the medium-to-high voltage range and meet various operating modes under test conditions. This realizes the purpose of making dry-type loads suitable for the medium-to-high voltage range and improving the functional versatility and response speed of dry-type loads.
[0061] This application uses solid-state contactors, which are not limited by the voltage level of traditional contactors. Furthermore, solid-state contactors have advantages over traditional contactors, such as fast turn-off speed and controllable turn-on and turn-off. Based on this, fast and multi-functional control of the load circuit is achieved.
[0062] In one specific embodiment, the dry load further includes a controller, with the solid-state circuit breaker 11 and the solid-state contactor 1212 connected to the controller. The controller is used to close the target circuit breaker and the target solid-state contactor via control commands.
[0063] Among them, the solid-state circuit breaker 11 and solid-state contactor 1212 of the dry load are normally open when not in operation or in the initial state.
[0064] For example, dry loads can be used to simulate high-power DC purely resistive loads, as well as electrolytic loads, etc.
[0065] Specifically, this application, taking into account both the compactness and safety of dry-type loads, adopts a standard container-style structure for the dry-type load enclosure, which is divided into control room, switch room, and resistor compartment. For heat-generating components (such as resistors), high-temperature resistant insulating boards are used to isolate the resistance wire groups and provide support, with a maintenance corridor extending from the center of the insulating boards. External cables connect to the switch room, and inside the dry-type load, copper busbars connect the solid-state circuit breaker 11, solid-state contactor 1212, and resistors, among other equipment. The copper busbars are fixed to the cabinet using high-voltage insulators and remain insulated from the cabinet.
[0066] Among them, the dry load in the application can be applied to medium and high voltage levels. Specifically, it can be achieved by modifying the number of resistors in series and parallel. That is, by controlling the first number of required load modules 12, the first connection method of each load module 12 when there are multiple load modules 12, the second number of required load boxes 1, and the second connection method of each load box 1 when there are multiple load boxes 1.
[0067] Specifically, in the case of a dry load that does not include a controller, an external control device can be connected to the controller along with the solid-state circuit breaker 11 and the solid-state contactor 1212 so that the external control device can close the target circuit breaker and the target solid-state contactor by means of control commands.
[0068] In one specific embodiment, the target circuit breaker includes any two of three solid-state circuit breakers, and the target solid-state contactor includes a solid-state contactor in the load branch corresponding to the target circuit breaker, determined from at least one load module. The target circuit breaker includes a first circuit breaker and a second circuit breaker; for a load module, the target solid-state contactor includes a first solid-state contactor and a second solid-state contactor.
[0069] By controlling the target circuit breaker and the target solid-state contactor, the positive terminal of the power supply is connected to the load branch corresponding to the first circuit breaker, and the negative terminal of the power supply is connected to the load branch corresponding to the second circuit breaker.
[0070] Among them, the control command is used to indicate that the current working mode is DC load working mode, the first number of shutdowns is two, and the second number of shutdowns, the first quantity, the first connection method, the second quantity and the second connection method are determined based on the voltage level range of the device under test.
[0071] Among them, the DC load operation mode involves testing the power supply performance by adjusting the resistance in the dry load.
[0072] For example, the first circuit breaker is a solid-state circuit breaker corresponding to bus a, and the second circuit breaker is a solid-state circuit breaker corresponding to bus c. The corresponding applied load branches include the first load branch (the load branch corresponding to bus a) and the second load branch (the load branch corresponding to bus c). The corresponding first solid-state contactors are the solid-state contactor corresponding to bus a and the solid-state contactor corresponding to bus c.
[0073] Specifically, when the control command indicates that the current operating mode is DC load operating mode, the first circuit breaker is closed to connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the first load branch; the second circuit breaker is closed to connect the negative terminal of the power supply to the second load branch; and the first solid-state contactor and the second solid-state contactor are closed to allow the load module to simulate the operating conditions of DC load operating mode.
[0074] Specifically, in DC load operation mode, the positive terminal of the power supply is connected to the connection point of bus a, and the negative terminal of the power supply is connected to the connection point of bus c. When the load module is working, the load branch corresponding to bus a and the load branch corresponding to bus c are connected, and the corresponding resistors are connected in series in the circuit.
[0075] In one specific embodiment, the target circuit breaker includes three solid-state circuit breakers, and the target solid-state contactor includes solid-state contactors for three load branches determined from at least one load module.
[0076] By controlling the circuit breaker, the target circuit breaker is closed first, and all target solid-state contactors are closed simultaneously.
[0077] Among them, the control command is used to indicate that the current working mode is AC load mode, the first number of shutdowns is three, and the second number of shutdowns, the first quantity, the first connection method, the second quantity and the second connection method are determined based on the voltage level range of the device under test.
[0078] The AC load-bearing mode involves adjusting parameters such as voltage, current, and power of the dry load to test the performance and stability of the device under test. This process is continuous.
[0079] For example, it can be used to simulate three-phase AC loads (e.g., high-power heaters), or, for example, to simulate electric motors by combining it with reactance, etc.
[0080] Specifically, in AC load-bearing mode, the three-phase power supply is connected to bus a, bus b, and bus c, respectively. When using a load, the three solid-state circuit breakers are first closed and kept closed. Then, the connection and disconnection of the corresponding resistor are achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the solid-state contactors (three solid-state contactors for each load module). When a resistor needs to be connected, the solid-state contactor is in the conducting state (closed state); when a resistor needs to be disconnected, the corresponding solid-state contactor is opened.
[0081] In AC load-bearing mode, by utilizing the synchronous switching capability of solid-state contactors, multiple solid-state contactors are connected in series and parallel to achieve the function of solid-state contactors at medium and high voltage levels. Solid-state circuit breakers mainly provide protection against abnormal load conditions such as overvoltage, overcurrent, smoke, and overtemperature.
[0082] In one specific embodiment, the target circuit breaker includes three solid-state circuit breakers, and the target solid-state contactor includes solid-state contactors for three load branches determined from at least one load module.
[0083] By controlling the circuit breaker, the target circuit breaker is closed first, and all target solid-state contactors are closed at the same time. After a preset time, all target solid-state contactors are opened at the same time.
[0084] Among them, the control command is used to indicate that the current working mode is the high-power pulse load working mode, the first number of shutdowns is three, and the second number of shutdowns, the first quantity, the first connection method, the second quantity and the second connection method are determined based on the voltage level range of the device under test.
[0085] Among them, the high-power pulse load working mode is designed to enable the load module to simulate the device under test based on high-power pulse technology.
[0086] For example, it can be used to simulate high-power linear motors, or to simulate high-power instantaneous charging conditions, etc.
[0087] Specifically, in the high-power pulse load operating mode, the target circuit breaker is first closed, and all target solid-state contactors are closed simultaneously. After the solid-state contactors close, the total power of the load modules that can form a circuit is consistent with the power of the device under test. Then, after a preset time, all target solid-state contactors are simultaneously disconnected based on the shutdown signal carried by the control command, so as to realize the simulation of high-power load.
[0088] The control commands also include a shutdown signal.
[0089] Specifically, the number of on / off cycles of the solid-state contactor is determined based on the function of the device under test, and the on / off cycle count is iteratively processed. Therefore, the control command also includes the on / off cycle count.
[0090] That is, the control command is used to indicate that the current working mode is the high-power pulse load working mode, the first number of shutdowns is three, and the second number of shutdowns, the first quantity, the first connection method, the second quantity, the second connection method, the shutdown signal, and the number of on / off cycles are determined based on the voltage level range of the device under test.
[0091] The on / off signal is sent based on a simulated actual process and controls the solid-state contactor.
[0092] In one specific embodiment, the target circuit breaker includes three solid-state circuit breakers, and the target solid-state contactor includes solid-state contactors for two load branches determined from at least one load module.
[0093] By controlling the command, the target circuit breaker is closed first, and all target solid-state contactors are closed.
[0094] Among them, the control command is used to indicate that the current working mode is a non-linear load working mode. The test requirements are: the first number of shutdowns is three, and the second number of shutdowns, the first quantity, the first connection method, the second quantity, and the second connection method are determined based on the voltage level range of the device under test.
[0095] The testing requirements include simulating a full-bridge rectifier circuit by controlling the on / off state of the target solid-state contactor.
[0096] Among them, the nonlinear load operating mode is achieved by simulating the full-bridge rectifier circuit by controlling the on and off of the solid-state contactor.
[0097] For example, high-power switching power supply equipment used to simulate actual operation (such as high-power frequency converters, high-power rectifiers, etc.).
[0098] Specifically, in the nonlinear load operating mode, the target circuit breaker is closed first, and the three-phase voltage waveform at the input terminal of the dry load is collected by a voltage sensor. The target solid-state contactor is closed to simulate the full-bridge rectifier circuit by analyzing the analysis results of the three-phase voltage waveform to simulate the nonlinear load.
[0099] For example, in U ab >U bc >U ca In this case, the solid-state contactors corresponding to bus a and bus b are closed, and the resistor circuit corresponding to the highest line voltage waveform is connected to realize the simulation of a full-bridge rectifier circuit.
[0100] in U bc >Uca >U ab In this case, the solid-state contactors corresponding to bus b and bus c are closed, and the resistor circuit corresponding to the highest line voltage waveform is connected to realize the simulation of a full-bridge rectifier circuit.
[0101] in U ca >U ab >U bc In this case, the solid-state contactors corresponding to bus c and bus a are closed, and the resistor circuit corresponding to the highest line voltage waveform is connected to realize the simulation of a full-bridge rectifier circuit.
[0102] In one specific embodiment, the target circuit breaker includes three solid-state circuit breakers, and the target solid-state contactor includes solid-state contactors for three load branches determined from at least one load module.
[0103] By controlling the circuit breaker, the target circuit breaker is closed first, and different numbers of target solid-state contactors are closed sequentially within a preset time period.
[0104] Among them, the control command is used to indicate that the current working mode is constant power load working mode. The test requirements are: the first number of shutdowns is three, and the second number of shutdowns, the first quantity, the first connection method, the second quantity, and the second connection method are determined based on the voltage level range of the device under test.
[0105] The testing requirements include adjusting the output voltage of the load module to enable the load bank to operate at constant power under different input voltages.
[0106] The constant power load operating mode is to put the solid-state contactor in pulse width modulation (PWM) mode.
[0107] For example, it can be used to simulate constant power loads in actual work (e.g., large machine tool spindles, high-power propulsion motors, etc.).
[0108] Specifically, in constant power load operation mode, different PWM waves are output by controlling the on / off state of the solid-state contactor to adjust the average value of the output voltage of each resistor. This is combined with a load branch with a constant resistance value to achieve dynamic output regulation of the DC voltage across the load.
[0109] Therefore, when the input voltage of a dry load changes, constant power operation of the dry load under different input voltages can be achieved by adjusting the average value of the output voltage of the load branch (or by connecting or disconnecting other load commands and adjusting the average value of the output voltage of their branches).
[0110] The dry-type load of this application utilizes solid-state circuit breakers and power electronic solid-state contactors to achieve medium and high voltage withstand load design. Taking advantage of the flexible voltage levels, fast switching speed, good synchronization performance, and controllable switching time of power electronic solid-state contactors, the load design can realize multiple operating modes, effectively improving the load utilization rate and reducing procurement costs.
[0111] This application also provides a load control system, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the system includes: a control device 201, a dry load 202 as described in any of the above embodiments, and a load protection device 203, wherein the control device 201 and the dry load 202 are respectively connected to the load protection device 203.
