Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical engineering and automation technology, and in particular to an automatic grid-connected control device and method for an expander-driven asynchronous generator. Background Art

[0002] In large-scale petrochemical projects, energy-saving design requirements often require the use of expansion generators to convert excess energy from chemical processes into electrical energy and feed it back to the factory's power distribution system to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. Currently, this type of design has the following technical difficulties:

[0003] (1) Since the expander is equipped with a generator, the speed change rate of the expander is too high. It is difficult to achieve stable and reliable speed control and regulation by using the expander to drive a conventional synchronous generator.

[0004] (2) In actual engineering applications, the installation location of the expander is in an explosive environment. The cost of explosion-proof facilities such as the excitation machine system and the machine-end PT cabinet required for the synchronous generator is too high. At the same time, the generator protection system, excitation system, demagnetization system, etc. are also required. The system is complex and difficult to implement.

[0005] To address the above problems, the current solution is to use an expander to drive an asynchronous generator. The advantage is that the squirrel cage asynchronous generator has the same structure as the squirrel cage asynchronous motor, and the application technology is mature, especially widely used in explosion-proof environments.

[0049] Preferably, the rotation speed measurement control includes: measuring the rotation speed of the generator, and outputting a high level 1 when the rotation speed of the generator exceeds a threshold.

[0050] Preferably, logical operations are performed in combination with phase sequence detection control and speed measurement control to generate a generator closing or opening instruction, including: when the voltage input signals on the power supply system and the generator side are both positive phase sequences and the generator speed exceeds the threshold, a generator closing instruction is generated; otherwise, a generator opening instruction is generated.

[0051] Preferably, the influence of temperature on the carrier signal is eliminated based on a phase-locked loop closed-loop compensation method, including: converting the output of the temperature sensor into a voltage signal and inputting it into the phase-locked loop feedback loop; comparing the phase difference between the output signal and the input signal through the phase detector of the phase-locked loop feedback loop, and then outputting the difference signal to a low-pass filter to eliminate the high-frequency signal therein; then adjusting the carrier frequency through a voltage-controlled oscillator to offset the temperature drift; finally, sending the signal output by the voltage-controlled oscillator to the phase detector to complete the closed-loop control.
