Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformers, and particularly to a step-up active substation transformer. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid economic development and the increasing access of new energy sources such as photovoltaic power, the problem of voltage over-limit in the distribution network (voltage higher than the specified voltage value and voltage lower than the specified voltage) is significant. The traditional method of using a single distribution transformer to control the voltage over-limit problem has limitations such as slow operation speed, arc generation, low efficiency, large volume, low adjustment accuracy, and inability to smoothly adjust the voltage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for technological innovation to meet the development needs of the new power system.

[0003] The hybrid distribution transformer voltage regulation technology has emerged as a new voltage regulation solution. It has significant advantages such as fast response speed, diverse functions, and flexible voltage regulation methods. The hybrid distribution transformer optimizes the traditional voltage regulation mode by integrating the power electronic voltage regulator with the distribution transformer. Currently, its main technical principle is as Figure 1 shown. In the hybrid distribution transformer, the power electronic circuit uses a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC), which is composed of two three-phase full-bridge circuits, and is connected in series and parallel with the output terminal of the distribution transformer respectively. The parallel part (CV t ) can essentially be regarded as a three-phase fully controlled rectifier circuit, which is connected to the low-voltage auxiliary winding (W 3a , W 3b , W 3c ) of the distribution transformer. This connection method enables it to achieve key functions such as power factor control, harmonic suppression, and DC bus voltage control. The series part (CV p ) is connected in series with the high-voltage side of the distribution transformer through the power frequency voltage regulating transformer windings (W 5a , W 5b , W 5c ). By using the PWM modulation technology, the series voltage is precisely controlled to achieve flexible adjustment of the output voltage.

[0004] However, although the hybrid distribution transformer shows many advantages, the existing UPQC device (UPQC) in the hybrid distribution transformer adopts a two-stage structure design of rectification first and then inversion, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0057] It should be noted that for the convenience of narration, the switching IGBT is used to represent the controllable (conducting and turning off) switching transistor in the embodiments of the present invention, but the switching transistor in the present invention is not limited to IGBT. Taking IGBT as an example for illustration. The first end of the IGBT refers to the collector, the second end refers to the emitter, and the control end refers to the gate. A drive control signal is applied to the control end of each switching transistor in the embodiments of the present invention. For the sake of simplicity, it will not be elaborated later. The power switching transistor in the embodiments of the present invention can also be implemented by other controllable switching transistor devices other than IGBT, such as MOSFET. At the same time, in the embodiments of the present invention, to ensure the normal operation of each switching device, a freewheeling diode needs to be connected in parallel with each switching device. The parallel connection direction of the freewheeling diode is related to the type of the switching device, and those skilled in the art can set it according to the type of the switching device, which is not limited herein. If not specified, the switching device is default to include a freewheeling diode, and this embodiment will point it out in special cases.

[0058] By providing a boost-type active substation area transformer in the embodiments of the present application, the technical problem of low efficiency of some hybrid distribution transformers is solved. The AC / AC conversion is realized by using a single-stage energy conversion, replacing the mainstream AC / DC + DC / AC two-stage architecture, and achieving high efficiency and low cost.

[0059] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application for solving the above technical problems have the following general idea:

[0060] By integrating a power electronic voltage regulator and a distribution transformer, the hybrid distribution transformer optimizes the traditional voltage regulation mode and has significant advantages such as fast response speed, diverse functions, and flexible voltage regulation methods. However, the UPQC device (UPQC) in the existing hybrid distribution transformer adopts a two-stage structure design of rectification first and then inversion, which inevitably brings a series of problems. From the control perspective, the two-stage structure makes the control logic intricate, greatly increasing the operation and maintenance difficulty and technical threshold of the system; during operation, the two-stage energy conversion leads to a reduction in the operating efficiency of the transformer; moreover, the large number of power electronic devices required by the two-stage structure significantly increases the volume of the equipment, not only occupying more installation space but also further increasing the equipment cost. In addition, the required power frequency voltage regulating transformer and DC bus capacitor in the existing hybrid distribution transformer are bulky, and an auxiliary winding needs to be added on the low-voltage side, changing the original structure of the distribution transformer, so the cost is still much higher than that of the traditional mechanical on-load tap-changing distribution transformer. These defects seriously restrict the popularization and application of hybrid distribution transformers in a wider range of scenarios.

[0061] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present invention propose a boost-type active substation area transformer that combines a traditional on-load tap-changing transformer and a power electronic transformer. It adopts a single-stage energy conversion to achieve AC / AC conversion, replacing the mainstream AC / DC + DC / AC two-stage architecture, achieving high efficiency and low cost. At the same time, there is a bridging capacitor in the topology of the boost-type active substation area transformer of the embodiments of the present invention. Because the voltage of the capacitor cannot change suddenly, the modulation technology of high-frequency power switching tubes can be used to control the smooth change of the capacitor voltage. Finally, the voltage on the capacitor is superimposed on the input voltage, which can effectively ensure the smoothness of the AC output, and the standard AC voltage output is realized by using control technology, and the waveform quality is good.

[0062] To better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners.

[0063] Embodiment 1:

[0064] This embodiment provides a boost-type active substation area transformer, as Figure 2 shown, including a distribution transformer, a capacitor, and an AC / AC converter. Among them, the AC / AC converter includes two bridge arms and an inductor; the primary side of the distribution transformer is connected to an AC source, the first connection end of the secondary side is connected to the first output terminal O1 via a capacitor, and the second connection end of the secondary side is connected to the second output terminal O2 through a wire (in the specific implementation process, the two output terminals are connected to the distribution network or load. In Figure 2In the case where two output terminals are connected to both sides of the load, a connection port a is set on the wire; the first end of the first arm of the AC / AC converter is connected to the common end of the capacitor and the first output terminal, and the second end is connected to the connection port a via the second arm; the first end of the inductor is connected to the common end of the capacitor and the secondary side of the distribution transformer, and the second end is connected to the common end of the first arm and the second arm;

[0065] The two arms are connected with a number of control terminals and are adapted to be disconnected or conducted under the control of a control signal applied to the control terminals. The change of the arm state causes the capacitor and the inductor to be charged or discharged. By discharging the capacitor or the inductor, the voltage at the output terminal is made greater than the voltage on the secondary side of the distribution transformer to a voltage value that meets the output requirements.

[0066] During the implementation process, when the voltage on the secondary side of the distribution transformer is less than the voltage required by the power distribution network or the load, the circuit can operate to boost the voltage at the output terminal and stabilize the voltage at the output terminal. The circuit has two operating modes:

[0067] Operating mode 1: The first arm is conducted and the second arm is disconnected. The current flow path is the secondary side of the distribution transformer → inductor → first arm → load and inductor → first arm → capacitor. At this time, the secondary side of the distribution transformer and the inductor release energy to supply power to the load and charge the capacitor.

[0068] Operating mode 2: The second arm is conducted and the first arm is disconnected. The current flow path is the secondary side of the distribution transformer → inductor → second arm and the secondary side of the distribution transformer → capacitor → load. At this time, the secondary side of the distribution transformer charges the inductor to store energy, and the secondary side of the distribution transformer and the capacitor supply power to the load.

[0069] It should be noted that the function of this capacitor is different in the boost mode and the buck mode. In the boost mode, not only harmonic current but also main power current flows through the capacitor. In working state 1, both the secondary side and the inductor charge the capacitor and supply power to the load. In working state 2, the secondary side charges the inductor, and at the same time, the secondary side and the capacitor supply power to the load.

[0070] In the specific implementation process, the AC / AC converter includes two arms, and both can adopt two opposite switching tubes, as Figure 3 shown. The first switching tube T1 and the second switching tube T2 form the first arm, and the third switching tube T3 and the fourth switching tube T4 form the second arm. The AC / AC converter has a total of three operating modes. The states of the switching tubes in each mode are as Figure 4 、 5 shown.

[0071] Operating mode 1: As Figure 4As shown, switch tubes T1 and T2 are turned on, and other switch tubes are turned off. The current flow path is the secondary side of the distribution transformer → L → T1 → T2 → load and L → T1 → T2 → C. At this time, the inductor releases energy to supply power to the load and charges the capacitor.

[0072] Operating mode 2: As Figure 5 shown, switch tubes T3 and T4 are turned on, and other switch tubes are turned off. The current flow paths are the secondary side of the distribution transformer → L → T3 → T4 and the secondary side of the distribution transformer → C → load. At this time, the secondary side of the distribution transformer charges the inductor to store energy, and the secondary side of the distribution transformer and the capacitor supply power to the load.

[0073] In the specific implementation process, the bridge arm included in the AC / AC converter can also adopt a dual-control switch composed of four diodes and one switch tube, as Figure 6 shown. It should be noted that when constructing the two bridge arms of the AC / AC converter, it is not limited to the above two specific switch component designs. Multiple other switches can also be used to achieve the conduction and turn-off of the bridge arm, as long as these switches meet the following requirements: when the switch is in the off state, during the negative half cycle of the AC source connected to the primary side of the distribution transformer, the phenomenon of direct connection of the bridge arm must be avoided. At the same time, multiple switches can also be mixed and combined. For example, the first bridge arm adopts an opposite switch group, and the second bridge arm adopts a dual-control switch composed of four diodes and one switch tube.

[0074] Figure 6 The circuit operating mode shown in Figure 3 is the same as the operating mode of the circuit shown, and will not be elaborated here.

[0075] Embodiment 2:

[0076] This embodiment provides a boost-type active distribution transformer, as Figure 7 shown. This transformer adds a bypass switch on the basis of the circuit shown in Figure 2 . When the voltage of the AC source (power grid) is normal, the voltage on the secondary side of the distribution transformer is equal to the voltage required by the device (distribution network or load) connected to the output end. Then, it is not necessary for the AC / AC converter to boost the voltage at the output end, and this AC / AC converter needs to be removed to avoid unnecessary losses. Therefore, a bypass switch needs to be connected in parallel with the capacitor on the basis of the above circuit.

[0077] After closing the bypass switch, all the two bridge arms of the AC / AC converter are turned off, and then this AC / AC converter can be removed from the grid side.

[0078] The circuit form of the AC / AC converter in this embodiment is the same as that in Embodiment 1, and will not be elaborated here.

[0079] Embodiment 3:

[0080] In this embodiment, the boost-type active substation area transformer in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 can be applied to a three-phase system, and its connection modes include a star connection mode and a delta connection mode. The star connection mode is as follows Figure 8 shown. The primary sides of the distribution transformers in the three boost-type active substation area transformers are connected to a three-phase AC power supply. Among them, the first connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the first boost-type active substation area transformer and the second connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the third boost-type active substation area transformer are connected together and commonly connected to phase A; the second connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the first boost-type active substation area transformer and the first connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the second boost-type active substation area transformer are connected together and commonly connected to phase B; the second connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the second boost-type active substation area transformer and the first connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the third boost-type active substation area transformer are connected together and commonly connected to phase C. The second connection ends of the secondary sides of the three distribution transformers are connected together, and the connection modes of other devices in the circuit topology of the boost-type active substation area transformer are the same as those in Embodiment 1, which will not be elaborated here.

[0081] The delta connection mode is as follows Figure 9 shown. The primary sides of the distribution transformers in the three boost-type active substation area transformers are connected to a three-phase AC power supply. Among them, the first connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the first boost-type active substation area transformer and the second connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the third boost-type active substation area transformer are connected together and commonly connected to phase A; the second connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the first boost-type active substation area transformer and the first connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the second boost-type active substation area transformer are connected together and commonly connected to phase B; the second connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the second boost-type active substation area transformer and the first connection end of the primary side of the distribution transformer of the third boost-type active substation area transformer are connected together and commonly connected to phase C. The second connection ends of the secondary sides of the three distribution transformers are connected together. The connection modes of the two output ends of the three boost-type active substation area transformers with the load or the power grid are different from those of the boost-type active substation area transformer connected in a single-phase circuit with the load or the power grid. In the delta connection mode, the first output ends of the boost-type active substation area transformers are respectively connected to the load or the power grid and then connected together. After the wires led out from the second connection ends of the secondary sides of the three distribution transformers are connected to the second bridge arm, no wires are led out as the second output end.

[0082] It should be noted that, for the purpose of drawing, Figure 9 and Figure 8 the AC / AC converters in the boost-type active substation area transformers adopt a simplified drawing method.

[0083] In summary, compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0084] 1. Compared with traditional equipment such as UPQC, the step-up active substation transformer proposed in the embodiments of the present invention is a hybrid distribution transformer. The circuit structure of this transformer is simple and the control is easy to implement. It adopts a first-level architecture. While achieving voltage regulation, the number of components is saved, and the cost is greatly reduced while improving efficiency and reducing volume.

[0085] 2. There is a bridging capacitor (i.e., capacitor C) in the topology of the step-up active substation transformer in the embodiments of the present invention. Since the voltage of the capacitor cannot change abruptly, the modulation technology of the high-frequency power switch tube can be used to control the smooth change of the capacitor voltage. Finally, the voltage on the capacitor is superimposed on the input voltage, which can effectively ensure the smoothness of the AC output. The standard AC voltage output is achieved by using control technology, and the waveform quality is good.
