Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular to a method and system for constructing a temperature-drift-resistant thyristor overvoltage protection circuit. Background Art

[0002] Since their invention in the late 1950s, thyristors have rapidly become a key component in power electronics due to their ability to handle higher power levels. However, thyristors are susceptible to overvoltage during operation, primarily due to transient fluctuations in the power grid, circuit switching, kickback currents from inductive loads, and the startup and shutdown of equipment. Overvoltage can not only damage the thyristor itself but can also trigger a chain reaction that harms the entire power system. Therefore, protecting thyristors from overvoltage has become a significant technical challenge to improve the stability and reliability of power electronics systems.

[0003] At present, thyristors still have a place in high voltage and high current applications, such as HVDC and high voltage SVC. In applications, due to the inherent fragility of power electronic devices, simply increasing the design margin of the device to increase the reliability of the entire equipment is an uneconomical and unnecessary measure. The general practice is to adopt various protection measures to fully utilize the capacity of the device. Break Over Diode (BOD) is an overvoltage protection device for thyristors. Due to its fast speed, as long as the protection circuit design parameters are reasonably selected, thyristors can be reliably protected at the component level. With the invention and continuous improvement of thyristor overvoltage protection circuits, BOD is often used in thyristor overvoltage protection. High-voltage breakover diode BOD is a key component in thyristor overvoltage protection circuits. Summary of the Invention

[0062] Example 1

[0063] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for constructing an anti-temperature drift thyristor overvoltage protection circuit, comprising:

[0064] S1: collects the voltage between the anode and cathode of the thyristor, divides it and connects it to the non-inverting input of the voltage comparator. After passing through the voltage comparator, the op amp outputs a forward saturation or reverse saturation voltage signal.

[0065] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the temperature drift thyristor overvoltage protection circuit is composed of a voltage comparator, a non-inverting proportional amplifier, a diode, a voltage regulator, a transistor, a resistor and a capacitor. Two integrated operational amplifier chips are used in the voltage comparator and the non-inverting proportional amplifier respectively; the resistors include: voltage divider resistors R1, R2, R3, R4, R 12 and R 13 , current limiting resistors R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R 10 、R 14 、R 15 , feedback resistor R F , loop discharge resistance R 11 The capacitor is C; the diodes are D1, D2 and D3; the voltage regulators include VD1 and VD2; the transistors include NPN tube T1 and PNP tube T2; the thyristor is SCR;

[0066] The diode D1 is connected between the current limiting resistor R7 and the output of the in-phase proportional amplifier; the diode D2 is connected between the current limiting resistor R8 and the in-phase proportional amplifier; the voltage regulator VD1 is connected between the diode D3 and the emitters of the transistors T1 and T2; the diode D3 is connected between the voltage regulator VD1 and the current limiting resistor R9; the voltage regulator VD2 is connected between the current limiting resistor R 15 In parallel, the current limiting resistor R9 is connected between the diode D3 and the gate of the thyristor SCR; the loop discharge resistor R 11 It is connected in series with the capacitor C and then in parallel with the thyristor SCR; the power supply for the voltage comparator, the in-phase proportional amplifier and the OTL complementary symmetrical amplifier circuit is taken from both ends of the thyristor, and after passing through the voltage stabilizing circuit, a stable DC voltage is output to power the voltage comparator, the in-phase proportional amplifier and the OTL complementary symmetrical amplifier circuit.

[0067] After the voltage stabilization circuit, a stable DC voltage is output to power the voltage comparator, the in-phase proportional amplifier and the OTL complementary symmetrical amplifier circuit.

[0068] Select the voltage regulator VD2 according to the following formula:

[0069]

[0070] Among them U Z is the voltage across the Zener diode, U CC R 15 The voltage across the terminals, I ZM I is the maximum current allowed to pass through the Zener diode. OM is the current flowing through the current limiting resistor R 15 The maximum current, U1 is the voltage divider resistor R 13 The voltage across both ends is determined by the following formula to select the voltage divider resistor R 12 With R 13 Resistance value:

[0071] U1=(2~3)U CC

[0072] Select the current limiting resistor R according to the following formula 14 With R 15 Resistance value:

[0073] IZM=(1.5~3)IOM.

[0074] The output voltage signals of forward saturation or reverse saturation include:

[0075] Assume that the action voltage of the thyristor overvoltage protection circuit is U F , determine the voltage divider resistors R1, R2 and the reference voltage U input to the inverting input of the voltage comparator according to the following formula: ref :

[0076] Uref =U F ×R2 / (R1+R2)

[0077] The voltage after being divided by the voltage divider resistors R1 and R2 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the voltage comparator; when the forward voltage across the thyristor is less than the action voltage U of the protection circuit F When the voltage at the non-inverting input of the voltage comparator is less than the voltage at the inverting input, the voltage comparator outputs a reverse saturation voltage signal; when the forward voltage across the thyristor is greater than or equal to the action voltage U of the protection circuit F When , the voltage at the non-inverting input of the voltage comparator is greater than the voltage at the inverting input, and the voltage comparator outputs a forward saturated voltage signal.

[0078] S2: divide the output of the voltage comparator through resistors;

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, dividing the output terminal of the voltage comparator by a resistor includes:

[0080] Determine the values ​​of the voltage divider resistors R3 and R4 according to the following formula to ensure that the non-inverting proportional amplifier operates normally within the supply voltage range of the op amp:

[0081] U i2 =U o1 ×R4 / (R3+R4)

[0082] Among them U i2 is the voltage at the input of the non-inverting proportional amplifier, U o1 is the output voltage of the voltage comparator.

[0083] It should be noted that U o1 is the output voltage of the voltage comparator. When the thyristor overvoltage protection circuit is in action, it is the forward saturation voltage of the integrated operational amplifier. When the thyristor protection circuit is not in action, since the circuit is powered by a single power supply, the reverse power supply terminal of the integrated operational amplifier is grounded. o1 ≈0.

[0084] S3: The divided voltage is connected to a current amplification circuit composed of a common-mode proportional amplifier and an OTL complementary symmetrical amplifier circuit; the common-mode proportional amplifier outputs an amplified voltage signal, and the OTL complementary symmetrical amplifier circuit is connected between the output and feedback terminals of the common-mode proportional amplifier to amplify the output current of the op amp to the current required to turn on the thyristor gate;

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, amplifying the output current of the operational amplifier to the current required for turning on the thyristor gate includes:

[0086] Set the current limiting resistor R5 = R6 / / R FAfter selecting the amplification factor of the in-phase proportional amplifier, select R5, R6 and feedback resistor R according to the amplification factor formula of the in-phase proportional amplifier. F The resistance value of the in-phase proportional amplifier is expressed as follows:

[0087] U o3 / U i2 =(1+R F / R6)

[0088] Among them U o3 is the output voltage of the non-inverting proportional amplifier, U i2 is the voltage at the input of the non-inverting proportional amplifier.

[0089] It should be noted that when the forward voltage across the thyristor is greater than the protection voltage action value, U o1 Always the forward saturation voltage, U o3 is also basically unchanged, then according to the formula U o3 =U Z +U D3 +R9×I G +U G , you can select the voltage regulation value U of the voltage regulator tube Z and the resistance of the current limiting resistor R9, where U Z is the voltage regulation value of the voltage regulator tube, I G is the current value of the thyristor gate branch, U G is the gate voltage of the thyristor, and both must be within the range specified in the thyristor data sheet that allows the thyristor to be stably turned on. At the same time, connecting a diode D3 in series after the voltage regulator VD1 can greatly reduce the effect of temperature on the voltage regulator VD1 and diode D3 when a voltage regulator with a voltage regulation value higher than 6V is selected, thereby making the thyristor overvoltage protection circuit have good temperature characteristics.

[0090] It should also be noted that according to the thyristor data sheet, the current signal output by the integrated operational amplifier cannot reach the gate current required to turn on the thyristor. Therefore, it is necessary to connect an OTL complementary symmetrical amplifier circuit after the integrated operational amplifier of the in-phase proportional amplifier circuit to amplify the current. When the thyristor is subjected to a forward overvoltage, the protection circuit is triggered, and transistor T1 operates in the amplification region with an amplification factor of β1; transistor T2 is in a partially conductive state, and diodes D1 and D2 play a role in eliminating crossover distortion, so that transistors T1 and T2 are both in a partially conductive state in the static state, U o2 ≈U o3 , where U o2 is the output voltage of the integrated operational amplifier in the non-inverting proportional amplifier, U o3is the output voltage of the non-inverting proportional amplifier. At the same time, the emitter junction of diode D1 and transistor T1, and the emitter junction of diode D2 and transistor T2 can be approximately regarded as a structure of two diodes in parallel, which greatly weakens the influence of temperature on diodes D1 and D2, and transistors T1 and T2.

[0091] S4: The output end of the current amplifier circuit is connected to the thyristor gate through a voltage regulator, a diode and a current limiting resistor. When the thyristor is subjected to a forward overvoltage, the voltage regulator breaks down, the thyristor gate is triggered, and the thyristor is turned on, thus realizing the thyristor overvoltage protection.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, connecting the output end of the current amplifier circuit to the gate of the thyristor via a voltage regulator, a diode, and a current limiting resistor includes:

[0093] When the forward voltage across the thyristor is greater than the protection voltage action value, the voltage regulator value U is selected. Z The resistance value of the current limiting resistor R9 is as follows:

[0094] U o3 =U Z +U D3 +R9×I G +U G

[0095] Among them U Z is the voltage regulation value of the voltage regulator tube, I G is the current value of the thyristor gate branch, U G is the gate voltage of the thyristor. Both must be within the range specified in the thyristor data sheet that enables the thyristor to be stably turned on.

[0096] It should be noted that the circuit proposed in the present invention does not contain BOD devices, and only uses resistors, diodes, transistors, voltage regulators and integrated operational amplifiers. It can meet the high-voltage operating conditions of thyristors. A new thyristor overvoltage protection circuit is studied, which realizes the domestic substitution of thyristor protection circuits, makes up for the shortcomings of domestic devices, and enables domestic devices to meet the needs of power applications. It is of great significance.

[0097] The thyristor overvoltage protection circuit proposed in the present invention utilizes the fast response advantages of a high-speed comparator and an operational amplifier circuit to achieve reliable triggering at the instant the forward voltage across the thyristor exceeds a set protection threshold. The thyristor gate branch voltage regulator is broken down, and under the action of a current-limiting resistor, the current in the thyristor gate branch and the gate voltage are both within the thyristor reliable conduction range specified in the thyristor data sheet. When the forward voltage across the thyristor does not exceed the set protection threshold, the thyristor gate branch voltage regulator does not break down, and the current in the thyristor gate branch and the gate voltage are both within the thyristor guaranteed non-conduction range specified in the thyristor data sheet, effectively preventing false triggering of the protection circuit.

[0098] In the thyristor overvoltage protection circuit proposed by the present invention, the diode D1 and the emitter junction of the transistor T1, as well as the emitter junction of the diode D2 and the transistor T2, can be approximately regarded as a structure in which two diodes are connected in parallel, thereby greatly reducing the influence of temperature on the diodes D1 and D2, and the transistors T1 and T2. In addition, a circuit structure in which the diode D3 is connected in series after the voltage regulator tube VD1 is adopted. This can greatly reduce the influence of temperature on the voltage regulator tube VD1 and the diode D3 when a voltage regulator tube with a regulated voltage value higher than 6V is selected, thereby ensuring that the thyristor overvoltage protection circuit has good temperature characteristics.

[0099] The above is a schematic diagram of the method for constructing a temperature-drift thyristor overvoltage protection circuit according to this embodiment. It should be noted that the technical solution of the system for constructing a temperature-drift thyristor overvoltage protection circuit and the technical solution of the method for constructing a temperature-drift thyristor overvoltage protection circuit are based on the same concept.

[0100] In this embodiment, the system for constructing a temperature-drift-resistant thyristor overvoltage protection circuit includes:

[0101] The acquisition module is used to collect the voltage between the anode and cathode of the thyristor, and connect it to the non-inverting input terminal of the voltage comparator after voltage division.

After selecting the voltage regulator VD1 and the current limiting resistor, the thyristor gate branch current I G is also basically unchanged, then the base current I B_T1 For I B_T1 =I G / (1+β1), then if the transistor T1 is to work in the amplification region, the thyristor supply voltage U CC Should satisfy U CC >U o3 +U BE1 +I B_T1 × R7, according to this formula, the resistance value of the current limiting resistor R7 can be selected.
