Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment technology, and in particular to a high-capacity compact DC-DC transfer switch and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] DC transfer switches are key equipment in ultra-high voltage direct current transmission systems. In cases of converter valve or DC line failure, DC line maintenance, or changes in system power demand, DC transfer switches need to change the system's operating mode to transfer the load current on the branch to be disconnected to the branch to be connected.
[0003] In the existing technology, high-frequency interruption is achieved by using SF6 switches. SF6 switches have strong current carrying capacity and strong insulation performance, which can meet the requirements of higher voltage levels and larger currents.
[0004] However, the dielectric recovery speed of SF6 switches is relatively slow after arcing. In order to prevent SF6 switches from undergoing re-breakdown after arc extinction, the LC resonant frequency is low and the amount of capacitors and inductors in the LC branch is large, resulting in high cost, large size and large footprint of DC-DC converter switches.
[0005] In addition, the arc voltage amplitude of SF6 switches is limited, only a few kilovolts, resulting in a low switching current level for DC transfer switches, which is difficult to meet the high-level DC engineering current requirements of the system.
[0006] Therefore, a high-capacity, compact DC-DC transfer switch and control method are provided to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0032] (3) This scheme achieves autonomous resonance by simulating the negative impedance characteristics of the SF6 switch through a square wave generator.

[0052] Example
[0053] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, depending on the installation location, traditional DC transfer switches are divided into metallic circuit breaker (MRTB), earth circuit breaker (ERTB), neutral bus switch (NBS), and neutral bus grounding switch (NBGS). The metallic circuit breaker (MRTB) and earth circuit breaker (ERTB) are used to switch between earth circuit operation mode and metallic circuit operation mode, while the neutral bus switch (NBS) is mainly used to isolate the neutral bus from the converter, and the neutral bus grounding switch (NBGS) is used to quickly connect the neutral point to the substation grounding grid when the grounding electrode fails.
[0054] The traditional DC-DC transfer switch uses a self-excited oscillation method: it utilizes the negative impedance characteristics of the SF6 switch to excite the resonant current in the LC branch connected in parallel with it, so that the current superimposed on the SF6 switch generates a zero-crossing point. After the SF6 switch extinguishes its arc, the LC branch and MOV are sequentially switched into the branch to be disconnected, and a transient voltage TIV is established to transfer the current to the branch to be connected.
[0055] like Figures 1-12 As shown, the present invention provides a high-capacity compact DC transfer switch, including a long-term current-carrying branch, a high-frequency oscillation breaking branch, and an energy-dissipating branch. The long-term current-carrying branch, the high-frequency oscillation breaking branch, and the energy-dissipating branch are connected in parallel. The long-term current-carrying branch is set as a gas switch 1. During normal operation, the gas switch 1 is closed to provide a path for the load current. When switching current, the gas switch 1 is opened, and the arc voltage can reach several hundred volts, driving the current to transfer from the long-term current-carrying branch to the high-frequency oscillation breaking branch.
[0056] The energy-consuming branch is equipped with a second zinc oxide surge arrester MOV22 to limit the rise of the voltage across the DC transfer switch and to absorb the energy on the line to be disconnected and the energy fed into the DC transfer switch from the sending-end converter station.
[0057] The high-frequency oscillation interruption branch includes a temporary current-carrying branch and a resonant branch, with the temporary current-carrying branch and the resonant branch connected in parallel.
[0058] The temporary current-carrying branch includes a vacuum trigger gap 3 and a square wave generator 4, with the vacuum trigger gap 3 and the square wave generator 4 connected in series. The resonant branch includes a reactance 5 and a first capacitor 6, with the reactance 5 and the first capacitor 6 connected in series.
[0059] During normal operation, the temporary current-carrying branch is in the open state. When switching current, the vacuum trigger gap 3 and the square wave generator 4 on the temporary current-carrying branch are triggered to conduct for temporary current carrying. At the same time, the excitation effect of the square wave voltage is used to realize the high-frequency opening of the vacuum trigger gap 3, so that the resonant current i in the resonant branch is increased. LC As the current increases, it causes the current superimposed on the temporary current-carrying branch to cross zero, transferring the current from the temporary current-carrying branch to the resonant branch.
[0060] The square wave generator 4 is a controllable square wave voltage source composed of power electronic devices. The square wave generator 4 includes a switching branch, a buffer branch, and a clamping branch. The switching branch, buffer branch, and clamping branch are connected in parallel. The switching branch includes a first IGBT module and a second IGBT module. The first IGBT module and the second IGBT module are connected in parallel.
[0061] The buffer branch includes a resistor 7 and a second capacitor 8, which are used to buffer the current transferred to the clamping branch after the switch branch is turned off. The resistor 7 and the second capacitor 8 are connected in series. The clamping branch is set as a first zinc oxide surge arrester MOV113, which is used to establish a high-level voltage for the square wave generator 4.
[0062] The first IGBT module includes a first diode 9 and a first IGBT 10. There are four first diodes 9, which are connected to the first IGBT 10 in a bridge configuration. The two first diodes 9 in the upper bridge arm are connected to a common cathode, and the two first diodes 9 in the lower bridge arm are connected to a common anode. The anode of the first IGBT 10 is connected to the common cathode of the two first diodes 9 in the upper bridge arm, and the cathode of the first IGBT 10 is connected to the common anode of the two first diodes 9 in the lower bridge arm.
[0063] The second IGBT module includes a second diode 11 and a second IGBT 12. There are four second diodes 11, which are connected to the second IGBT 12 in a bridge configuration. The two second diodes 11 in the upper bridge arm are connected to a common cathode, and the two second diodes 11 in the lower bridge arm are connected to a common anode. The anode of the second IGBT 12 is connected to the common cathode of the two second diodes 11 in the upper bridge arm, and the cathode of the second IGBT 12 is connected to the common anode of the two second diodes 11 in the lower bridge arm.
[0064] The first diode 9 and the second diode 11 have bidirectional conduction capability. During normal operation, the first IGBT module and the second IGBT module are in the off state. When converting current, the first IGBT module and the second IGBT module are first fully turned on to temporarily carry current, and then the first IGBT module and the second IGBT module are turned on alternately to enable the square wave generator 4 to output a square wave voltage.
[0065] A control method for a high-capacity, compact DC-DC transfer switch includes the following steps:
[0066] S1: During normal operation, gas switch 1 remains closed, and current flows through the long-term current-carrying branch. Vacuum trigger gap 3 and square wave generator 4 are not connected. After gas switch 1 ignites, it generates an arc voltage with an amplitude of several hundred volts. Under the action of the arc voltage, vacuum trigger gap 3 is broken down and conducts current. The current in the long-term current-carrying branch is quickly transferred to the temporary current-carrying branch, and gas switch 1 extinguishes the arc.
[0067] S2: When switching current, the gas switch 1 is opened, and the vacuum trigger gap 2, the first IGBT module and the second IGBT module are started.
[0068] S3: Since the dielectric recovery speed of gas switch 1 is slow, the current cannot be interrupted immediately. Wait for a dielectric recovery time, which is set to 1ms. After the dielectric is recovered, gas switch 1 restores its insulation capability and controls square wave generator 4 to perform high-frequency interruption. The current is transferred from the temporary flow branch to the resonant branch.
[0069] Step S3 specifically includes the following steps:
[0070] S31: Turn off the first IGBT module and the second IGBT module. The turn-off time of the first IGBT module is set to t1, and the turn-off time of the second IGBT module is set to t2.
[0071] In step S31, the turn-off time t1 of the first IGBT module is 1 / 4 of a switching cycle, and the turn-off time t2 of the second IGBT module is 3 / 4 of a switching cycle. The switching cycle is the reciprocal of the conduction frequency.
[0072] In this embodiment, the turn-off time t1 of the first IGBT module is 50us, and the turn-off time t2 of the second IGBT module is 150us.
[0073] S32: Alternately turn on the first IGBT module and the second IGBT module, with the turn-on frequency set to f. IGBT The duty cycle is set to 1 / 4. In this embodiment, the conduction frequency f IGBT Set to 5kHz;
[0074] S33: When the first IGBT module and the second IGBT module are alternately turned on, the square wave generator 4 outputs a square wave voltage, which excites the resonant current i in the resonant branch. LC The amplitude increases, and the circulating current i flowing through the temporary flow branch and the resonant branch... oc Increase;
[0075] In step S33, the amplitude of the square wave voltage is the residual voltage U of the first zinc oxide surge arrester MOV113. MOV1 The frequency f of the square wave voltage SVS Set to the on-frequency f IGBT Twice the frequency f of the square wave voltage SVS Specifically set as follows:
[0076] f SVS =2f IGBT ;
[0077] S34: When the current superimposed on the temporary current-carrying branch crosses zero, the vacuum trigger gap 3 extinguishes the arc, and the current is transferred from the temporary current-carrying branch to the resonant branch.
[0078] In step S34, the resonant frequency f of the resonant branch is... LC Specifically set as follows:
[0079] f LC =Nf SVS (N = 1, 2, 3...).
[0080] In this embodiment, the frequency f of the square wave voltage SVS With resonant frequency f LC The ratio is 1, that is, N=1, and the resonant frequency f LC It is 10kHz.
[0081] S4: The current continuously charges the first capacitor 6 until the voltage U across the second zinc oxide surge arrester MOV22 is reached. MOV2 As the voltage rises to the reference voltage, the current shifts from the temporary flow branch to the energy-consuming branch.
[0082] S5: The second zinc oxide surge arrester MOV22 starts, establishes the transient voltage TIV, absorbs the energy on the line to be interrupted and the energy fed into the DC conversion switch of the sending-end converter station, and the current is transferred to the next long-term current-carrying branch.
[0083] This embodiment uses the MRTB tripping to transfer current from the ground return line to the positive metal return line as an application scenario to illustrate the current transfer process of a high-capacity compact DC transfer switch in an ultra-high voltage DC transmission system.
[0084] Before the current conversion, i.e., before time t0 = 4.0s, the high-capacity compact DC-DC transfer switch of the MRTB is in the closed state, and the ground return current i e Gas switch 1, flowing through the long-term current-carrying branch, connects the positive metal return line between the sending and receiving busbars via another DC-DC changeover switch ERTB, disconnector switch S1, and disconnector switch S2. At this time, the positive metal return line and the ground return line operate in parallel. The ground return line current i... e and positive metal loop current i p The sum equals the negative metal loop current i n ;
[0085] At t0 = 4.0s, current conversion begins, gas switch 1 opens, vacuum trigger gap 3 is triggered and started, and the first and second IGBT modules in square wave generator 4 are triggered and turned on. Under the action of arc voltage, vacuum trigger gap 3 breaks down and conducts, the ground return current is transferred to the temporary current-carrying branch, and the current i of gas switch 1... k The current i in the temporary current-carrying branch drops to 0. TCP It rose to 7.3 kA.
[0086] Because the medium recovery speed of gas switch 1 is slow, the current cannot be interrupted immediately, otherwise gas switch 1 may be severely damaged.
[0087] After waiting approximately 1 ms, at t1 = 4.001 s, gas switch 1 returns to its insulating state. First, the first IGBT module is turned off for 50 μs, then the second IGBT module is turned off for 150 μs. The first and second IGBT modules are then alternately turned on at a frequency of 5 kHz, with a duty cycle of 1 / 4. At this time, the output amplitude U of square wave generator 4... MOV1 It has a voltage of 3.8kV and an output frequency of 10kHz.
[0088] Under the excitation of a square wave voltage, the current i in the resonant branch... LC The current i in the temporary current-carrying branch gradually increases, thus causing the current i TCP The amplitude gradually increases, and at t2 = 4.00141s, its amplitude is equal to the earth loop current i. eAt this time, the current i in the temporary current-carrying branch TCP Zero crossing, vacuum trigger gap 3 extinguishes arc, ground return current i e The charge is transferred to the resonant branch to charge the first capacitor.
[0089] The first capacitor 6 continues to charge until t3 = 4.00151s, at which point the second zinc oxide surge arrester MOV22 rises to the reference voltage. After the second zinc oxide surge arrester MOV22 operates, the current i of the second zinc oxide surge arrester MOV22... MOV2 The surge arrester MOV22, transitioning from the temporary flow branch to the energy dissipation branch, establishes a transient voltage TIV of 183kV. Under the influence of this transient voltage TIV, it absorbs energy from the ground return line and the energy fed into the MRTB from the sending-end converter station. The ground return line current i e The current gradually decreases and reaches 0 at t4 = 4.63s, at which point the current conversion is complete.
[0090] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned high-capacity compact DC-DC converter switch and control method, using a gas switch as a long-term current-carrying switch and a vacuum trigger gap as an interruption and arc-extinguishing unit. By simulating the negative impedance characteristics of the SF6 switch through a square wave generator, the high-frequency interruption of the vacuum trigger gap is realized, which greatly reduces the amount of capacitors and inductors used in the LC resonant branch and improves the current interruption level of the DC-DC converter switch. It has the advantages of low cost, small footprint, and high current interruption capability.
[0091] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the method of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the method of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions should not cause the modified method to deviate from the spirit and scope of the method of the present invention.
