When the input power supply is short-term power-off instantaneously, the super capacitor in the system provides AC power, and finally supplies power to the load through the parallel redundant transformer assembly.

[0029] The transformer assembly is of a zigzag star structure;

[0030] Specifically, the super capacitor includes a first bypass switch 5, a first maintenance switch 6, a second maintenance switch 7, a first static switch 8, a second static switch 9, a third static switch 10, a fourth static switch 11, a bidirectional AC / DC 16, a super capacitor 17, and an inductor 18.

[0031] One end of the first bus 1 is connected to the 380VAC plant power supply, and one end of the second bus 2 is connected to the 380VAC plant power supply. The other end of the first bus 1 is connected with a first power supply switch 3, and the other end of the second bus 2 is connected with a second power supply switch 4.

[0032] A switching control module is provided between the first power supply switch 3 and the second power supply switch 4 to ensure that it can be switched to the other bus after one of the buses fails;

[0033] The circuit after the first power supply switch 3 and the second power supply switch 4 are connected in parallel is connected to one end of the first bypass switch 5, and the other end of the first bypass switch 5 is connected to a second maintenance switch 7;

One end of the first transformer 12 is connected to the second maintenance switch 7, and the other end is connected to a first circuit breaker 14; one end of the first circuit breaker 14 is connected to the first transformer 12, and the other end is the system output port; one end of the second transformer 13 is connected to the second maintenance switch 7, and the other end is connected to a second circuit breaker 15; one end of the first circuit breaker 15 is connected to the first transformer 13, and the other end is the system output port.

[0036] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0037] During the normal operation of the new static AC rod power supply system, to adapt to various operating states of the reactor, the 380VAC input power supply is supplied by different plant buses. When one input power supply fails, it is automatically switched to the other power supply through a switching switch. Before the bidirectional AC / DC bidirectional converter is started, the first bypass switch 5 is in the closed state, and 380VAC directly provides 220VAC / 50Hz power for the rod control system power cabinet through the parallel redundant zigzag star transformer; closing the second maintenance switch 7 can charge the modular supercapacitor energy storage cabinet through 380VAC.

[0038] After charging is completed, the dynamic voltage compensation circuit is put into operation by closing the first maintenance switch 6, the first static switch 8 and the first static switch 9, and disconnecting the first bypass switch 5. When the input power supply voltage fluctuates slightly, the static switch is controlled by detecting the harmonic components and reactive current components in the load current, and real-time voltage regulation is enabled. At the same time, reactive power, harmonics, and three-phase unbalance can be compensated in real time, thereby providing functions such as fast dynamic reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering for the power grid or electrical load, effectively improving the stability of the load voltage, compensating unbalanced loads, filtering load harmonics, and improving the load power factor.

[0039] During a short power outage of the input power supply or the transient period of the switched power supply, the modular supercapacitor in the system provides a 220VAC / 50Hz power supply for the load through the AC / DC bidirectional converter and the parallel redundant zigzag star transformer.

[0040] During the normal operation of a nuclear power plant, the static rod power supply system mainly supplies power to the coils of the reactor control rod drive mechanism (CRDM). A failure of the rod power supply system will cause the magnetic coils of the CRDM to lose power. At this time, the drive rod and the control rod fall into the reactor core by their own gravity, causing the reactor to scram, which directly affects the reliable and economic operation of the nuclear power plant. The novel static AC rod power supply system of the present invention is based on energy storage type dynamic voltage compensation technology and can meet the power supply requirements of the load when the input power supply voltage fluctuates. It effectively improves the reliability, stability, power factor, and maintainability of the power supply, filters out harmonics, reduces noise, and can meet the AC power supply requirements of the control rod drive mechanisms of various types of nuclear power plants, such as small reactors and large reactors.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.

Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be embraced by the present invention.

This narrative manner of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
