Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power control, and in particular to a method, device and medium for controlling a bridge arm current of a power cabinet of a generator excitation system. Background Art

[0002] The static thyristor excitation system of a large generator needs to be equipped with multiple power cabinets to provide excitation current to the rotor. The magnitude of the generator excitation current is controlled by controlling the trigger angle of the power cabinet thyristor to ensure the stability of the generator terminal voltage. The operation of multiple power cabinets in parallel may cause current imbalance, which is manifested as a larger current in one power cabinet and a smaller current in another power cabinet. In order to balance the load between the power cabinets, the existing technology usually adopts the method of controlling the thyristor trigger angle of each power cabinet to achieve the purpose of balancing the load between the power cabinets. However, due to factors such as the thyristor on-resistance, the heat sink crimping process, and the anode voltage drop, this method will still lead to imbalanced bridge arm currents between different power cabinets. Ultimately, the only way to avoid imbalanced power cabinet bridge arm currents is to use thyristors with consistent characteristics and consistent anode cable lengths for each power cabinet.

[0003] The existing generator excitation system power cabinet current equalization technology cannot achieve the purpose of balancing the current in the bridge arms of each power cabinet, which may cause the bridge arm of a power cabinet to be overloaded, resulting in thermal runaway of the power cabinet thyristor and loss of excitation of the generator; the characteristics of the thyristors in the same batch are consistent when they leave the factory, but after being crimped to the heat sink and assembled in the cabinet, the resistance characteristics of the thyristor bridge arm will have large differences; each power cabinet is connected to the anode power supply through an anode cable of the same length, which is costly and the anode cable heats up severely, making it inconvenient for subsequent maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method, device and medium for controlling the bridge arm current of a power cabinet in a generator excitation system. By performing thermal accumulation integration on the bridge arm current of the power cabinet, the thermal accumulation of the thyristor in the bridge arm is indirectly monitored. Control is performed based on the thermal accumulation value. When the thermal accumulation of the thyristor in a bridge arm of the power cabinet exceeds a threshold, the bridge arm current is reduced by reducing the trigger angle of the thyristor in the power cabinet, thereby avoiding thermal runaway of the thyristor in the power cabinet.

[0005] The present invention provides a method for controlling the bridge arm current of a power cabinet in a generator excitation system, which is applied to the generator excitation system. The specific technical solution is as follows: S1: Read the bridge arm current value of each power cabinet; S2: Determine whether the bridge arm current control permission conditions are met; If not satisfied, the bridge arm heat accumulation value is set to 0; If satisfied, proceed to step S3; S3: Obtain the average current of the power cabinet and determine whether the current bridge arm current is greater than the average current of the power cabinet; If it is greater than, the bridge arm thermal accumulation value accumulation operation is performed to obtain a new bridge arm thermal accumulation value; If it is less than, the bridge arm heat accumulation value subtraction operation is performed to obtain a new bridge arm heat accumulation value; S4: Execute control according to the current bridge arm heat accumulation value: If the current bridge arm thermal accumulation value is greater than 1, the bridge arm current control signal is triggered; If the current bridge arm thermal accumulation value is less than 0, the bridge arm current control signal is triggered to reset.

[0006] Furthermore, in step S3, the operation of accumulating the thermal cumulative value of the bridge arm is specifically to add the heating step length to the current bridge arm cumulative value.

[0007] Furthermore, the temperature rise step is bridge arm current / power cabinet average current × 10 -6 .

[0008] Furthermore, in step S3, the bridge arm heat accumulation value is subtracted by subtracting the cooling step length from the current bridge arm accumulation value.

[0009] Furthermore, the cooling step is bridge arm current / power cabinet average current × 10 -6 × cooling coefficient, wherein the cooling coefficient∈(0,1].

[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, when the bridge arm current control signal is triggered, the following steps are executed: The trigger angle of the power cabinet corresponding to the current bridge arm is reduced by a step angle; the trigger angle of the power cabinet with the smallest bridge arm current at the same position is increased by a step angle.

[0011] Furthermore, the step angle is 0.01°.

[0012] The present invention also provides a generator excitation system power cabinet bridge arm current control device, which includes: a memory, a processor, and a generator excitation system power cabinet bridge arm current control program stored on the memory and capable of running on the processor. When the generator excitation system power cabinet bridge arm current control program is executed by the processor, the steps of the above-mentioned generator excitation system power cabinet bridge arm current control method are implemented.

[0013] The present invention also provides a storage medium, which stores a generator excitation system power cabinet bridge arm current control program. When the generator excitation system power cabinet bridge arm current control program is executed by a processor, the steps of the above-mentioned generator excitation system power cabinet bridge arm current control method are implemented.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention monitors the current of each bridge arm of the power cabinet of the excitation system in real time. When the current of a certain bridge arm is greater than the average output current of the power cabinet, thermal accumulation calculation is performed on the bridge arm current. When the thermal accumulation value of the bridge arm is greater than 1, the bridge arm current control signal is activated, and the output current of the power cabinet where the bridge arm is located is reduced to achieve the purpose of reducing the bridge arm current. When the bridge arm current begins to decrease to the average current of the power cabinet, the bridge arm thermal accumulation value begins to decrease. When the bridge arm thermal accumulation value is less than 0, the bridge arm current control signal is reset, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the bridge arm current of the power cabinet of the excitation system and avoiding thermal runaway of the thyristor of the power cabinet caused by excessive load of a single bridge arm.
