Then, the bus capacitor discharges to output a DC voltage.

[0004] However, in the actual working process, when the current source type converter needs to supply power to a light load, it may cause the power transmitted on the DC side to be greater than the power required by the load, resulting in continuous accumulation of energy in the bus capacitor and continuous increase of the DC voltage, triggering DC overvoltage protection or threatening the safety of the load, thus affecting normal operation.

[0073] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for a current source type converter, and this method can be implemented by a computer device. The computer device can be a terminal, a server, etc. The terminal can be a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, etc.

[0075] The computer device can include a processor, a memory, a communication component, etc.

[0076] The processor can be a central processing unit (CPU). The processor can be used to read instructions and process data. For example, it can detect the DC voltage output by the current source type converter, control multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter to turn off, determine a drive control signal, and control multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter based on the drive control signal, and so on.

[0077] The memory can be various volatile memories or non-volatile memories, such as a solid state disk (SSD), a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), etc. The memory can be used for data storage. For example, it can store the data of the detected DC voltage output by the current source type converter, store the data of the DC upper limit threshold and the first DC lower limit threshold, store the data of the determined drive control signal, and so on.

[0078] The communication component can be a wired network connector, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) module, a Bluetooth module, a cellular network communication module, etc. The communication component can be used for data transmission with other devices.

[0079] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a topological schematic diagram of a current source type converter, where, v gabc is the three-phase AC voltage of the input current source type converter, V dc is the DC voltage output by the current source type converter, i dc is the output current of the current source type converter, C dc is the DC bus capacitor in the current source type converter. This current source type converter can convert three-phase alternating current into direct current, thereby forming a DC bus.

[0080] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a control method for a current source type converter provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment includes:

[0081] 201. Detect the DC voltage output by the current source type converter.

[0082] In implementation, the DC voltage output by the current source type converter can be detected periodically, so as to obtain real-time and accurate DC voltage values.

[0083] 202. When the DC voltage is greater than the DC upper limit threshold, control multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter to disconnect, so as to disconnect the charging circuit of the DC bus capacitor in the current source type converter.

[0084] Among them, the DC upper limit threshold is a preset upper limit value of the DC voltage, so as to avoid the occurrence of DC overvoltage protection or events threatening the safety of the target load when the DC voltage exceeds the DC upper limit threshold.

[0085] In implementation, the latest detected DC voltage is compared with the pre-stored DC upper limit threshold. If the DC voltage is not greater than the DC upper limit threshold, it means that the power supply to the target load is normal at this time and no event of excessive DC voltage occurs. At this time, the drive control signal can be determined based on the input voltage (three-phase alternating current) and the DC voltage of the input current source type converter, and then multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter are controlled to work based on the drive control signal, so that the DC voltage can supply power to the target load normally.

[0086] If the DC voltage is greater than the DC upper threshold value, it indicates that there is a high probability that too much energy has accumulated in the DC bus capacitor under light load at this time. At this time, multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter can be controlled to disconnect, so as to disconnect the charging circuit of the DC bus capacitor in the current source type converter, enabling the DC bus capacitor to continuously discharge to supply power to the target load, thereby causing the DC voltage to gradually decrease, so as to avoid overvoltage protection or events that affect the normal operation of the target load.

[0087] Among them, the method of controlling multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter to disconnect can be to turn off the output of the drive control signal, that is, stop outputting the drive control signal to the multiple controllable switch devices, so that the controllable switch devices disconnect.

[0088] In a possible implementation manner, the above-mentioned DC upper threshold value can be the sum of the DC voltage reference value and the upper fluctuation value.

[0089] Among them, the DC voltage reference value is the DC voltage expected by the target load driven by the current source type converter. The DC voltage reference value can be preset through experimental results or calibrated when the target load leaves the factory. The specific acquisition method in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited.

[0090] The upper fluctuation value is a positive value. The upper fluctuation value can be set according to experimental results or experience to ensure that the value of the DC upper threshold can avoid overvoltage protection events and events that affect the normal operation of the target load. For example, the upper fluctuation value can be set to 5 volts, 3 volts, etc. The specific value in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited.

[0091] In a possible implementation manner, the controllable switch device can be any one of IGBT, Mosfet, and the combination of IGBT and diode in reverse parallel, or it can also be other reasonable switch devices. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations on this.

[0092] 203. When the DC voltage is less than the first DC lower threshold value, determine the drive control signal, and based on the drive control signal, control multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter.

[0093] In implementation, after controlling multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter to disconnect, since the charging of the DC bus capacitor has stopped and the DC bus capacitor is continuously discharging, the DC voltage will gradually decrease. When the DC voltage drops to less than the first DC lower threshold value, it indicates that the risk of excessive DC voltage has been lifted at this time and the target load can be powered normally. Therefore, the drive control signal can be determined at this time, and based on this drive control signal, multiple controllable switch devices in the current source type converter are controlled.

[0094] In a possible implementation, the DC lower threshold is the difference between the DC voltage reference value and the lower fluctuation value, where the DC voltage reference value is the DC voltage that the target load driven by the current source type converter expects to input, and the lower fluctuation value is a positive value.

[0095] The lower fluctuation value can be set according to experimental results or experience. For example, the lower fluctuation value can be set to 3 volts, 1 volt, etc., and the specific value thereof is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0096] In this way, through the above steps 201-203, the problem of excessive DC voltage can be detected in time, and the charging of the main bus capacitor can be stopped by controlling the disconnection of multiple controllable switching devices in the current source type converter, thereby reducing the DC voltage, and further reducing the possibility of DC overvoltage protection events and threats to the safety of the load, and improving the stability and safety of the load operation.

[0097] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 3 , the method for determining the drive control signal may be: determining a voltage regulation value based on the DC voltage reference value, the DC voltage, and a first specified control algorithm, where the DC voltage reference value is the DC voltage that the target load driven by the current source type converter expects to input; determining the drive control signal based on the voltage regulation value.

[0098] In implementation, the DC voltage reference value and the DC voltage can be input into the first specified control algorithm to obtain the output voltage regulation value, and then the voltage regulation value and the three-phase AC voltage input into the current source type converter can be input into the modulation algorithm to obtain the output drive control signal.

[0099] Among them, the first specified control algorithm can be any reasonable control algorithm. For example, it can be a voltage-current double-loop control algorithm, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0100] The control method of the current source type converter provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, in addition to being able to perform the above processing to solve the problem of excessive DC voltage, when facing problems such as sudden changes in load power, large DC voltage drops caused by the inertia of small-capacity thin-film capacitors, and long DC voltage recovery times, also provides the following method:

[0101] Referring to Figure 4 , when the duration reaches a preset duration after controlling multiple controllable switching devices in the current source type converter based on the drive control signal, if the DC voltage is less than the second DC lower threshold, the first specified control algorithm is switched to the second specified control algorithm, where the second DC lower threshold is greater than the first DC lower threshold and less than the DC upper threshold.

[0102] In implementation, during the process of performing step 203 above, the drive control signal is continuously determined periodically, and multiple controllable switch devices are controlled based on the newly determined drive control signal. If the duration of controlling the multiple controllable switch devices based on the drive control signal reaches a preset duration and the DC voltage is less than the second DC lower limit threshold, it indicates that the DC voltage is recovering and the recovery speed of the DC voltage is slow. Then, the applied control algorithm can be changed, that is, the first specified control algorithm can be switched to the second specified control algorithm. Since the response speed of the second specified control algorithm is greater than that of the first specified control algorithm, the recovery efficiency of the DC voltage can be effectively improved, thereby ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the load.

[0103] Among them, the second DC lower limit threshold can be set according to requirements or actual situations, and can be set to a value slightly larger than the first DC lower limit threshold, etc. It can be the difference between the DC voltage reference value and the third fluctuation value, and the third fluctuation value is a positive value.

[0104] In a possible implementation manner, the first specified control algorithm can be a voltage-current double-loop control algorithm, and the second specified control algorithm can be any one of a voltage single-loop control algorithm, a proportional control algorithm, a proportional-integral control algorithm, or a non-linear control algorithm. Of course, the first specified control algorithm and the second specified control algorithm can also be any other reasonable algorithms, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0105] In a possible implementation manner, after switching the first specified control algorithm to the second specified control algorithm, when the DC voltage rises to the second DC lower limit threshold, the second specified control algorithm is switched to the first specified control algorithm.

[0106] Generally, the response speed of the second specified control algorithm is greater than that of the first specified control algorithm, but the output accuracy of the first specified control algorithm is greater than that of the second specified control algorithm. Therefore, when the DC voltage rises to the second DC lower limit threshold, it indicates that the DC voltage has recovered to a large extent at this time. At this time, the second specified control algorithm can be switched back to the first specified control algorithm, so that the output voltage adjustment value is more accurate, thereby making the DC voltage closer to the DC voltage reference value to ensure the stable operation of the target load.

[0107] In a possible implementation manner, when switching the first specified control algorithm to the second specified control algorithm, the voltage adjustment value finally output by the first specified control algorithm is used as the initial value of the voltage adjustment value of the second specified control algorithm.

[0108] In implementation, when the second specified control algorithm needs to perform integral processing on the voltage regulation value output each time, if the initial value of the voltage regulation value is not set, it defaults to zero. If the initial value of the voltage regulation value is zero, then when the first specified control algorithm switches to the second specified control algorithm, the adjustment speed of the second specified control algorithm will be relatively slow. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, to avoid the above situation, the voltage regulation value finally output by the first specified control algorithm will be used as the initial value of the voltage regulation value of the second specified control algorithm (which can also be called pre-synchronization processing), thereby improving the rate of the second specified control algorithm.

[0109] Similarly, when switching the second specified control algorithm to the first specified control algorithm, the voltage regulation value finally output by the second specified control algorithm is used as the initial value of the voltage regulation value of the first specified control algorithm.

[0110] In this way, when the first specified control algorithm needs to perform integral processing on the voltage regulation value output each time, the voltage regulation value finally output by the second specified control algorithm can be pre-synchronized as the initial value of the voltage regulation value of the first specified control algorithm to improve the rate of the first specified control algorithm.

[0111] All the above optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form optional embodiments of the present disclosure, which will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the proposed solution can be based on controlling multiple controllable switch devices to disconnect and stop charging the DC bus capacitor. During this process, the DC bus capacitor has been charging the load, thereby reducing the DC voltage, and further reducing the possibility of DC overvoltage protection events and threats to the safety of the load, improving the stability and safety of the load operation.

[0118] In a possible implementation, the DC lower threshold is the difference between the DC voltage reference value and the lower fluctuation value, where the DC voltage reference value is the DC voltage that the target load driven by the current source type converter expects to input, and the lower fluctuation value is a positive value.

[0124] In a possible implementation, the first specified control algorithm is a voltage-current double-loop control algorithm, and the second specified control algorithm is a voltage single-loop control algorithm, a proportional control algorithm, a proportional-integral control algorithm, or a non-linear control algorithm.

[0125] In a possible implementation, the second control module 530 is further configured to:
